Simply Obsessed: Nicole's October Reveal

I just have to say that this is the best kit ever... Heather did such a great job putting it together. I was so excited about the kit I ordered all the add-ons too. I wish that I could have each of you come to my home to see my reveal in person. The pictures just dont do the layouts/products justice. I retook the pictures so many times trying to get better ones that would show the details/colors better. I still dont know how some of you get such great pictures of your layouts. These are some of my favorite layouts that I have ever created. So here they are.....

I loved the Cambridge line because it was just PERFECT for my photos from England. Since I went to school there and visit friends a couple times a year I have a lot of photos. In this layout I used a few transparencies of London that I had in my stash. The transparency on the bottom I melted it slightly with the heat gun to give it some character. I used the packaging for the Bo-Bunny zipper embellishment to make the white tab with the date on it.

I loved these pictures of us at Buckingham Palace this Easter. I placed chipboard wings over the wings that were already printed on the paper to add dimension. I also cut out the portion under the stars so that I could layer it on top of the other pattern papers. It is hard to see but I knotted the lace on both ends.

I never use transparencies nor my alcohol inks I just dont know how to use them. I wanted to try something different so I dug them out of my stash. First I cut out the transparency then I dabbed on the alcohol inks. I then melted the transparency with the heat gun, totally melting it through in two spots. It was really hard to get a good picture of layout and I really want you to be able to see the texture. I alos used the rest of the Bo-Bunny packaging behind the transparency at the top. This turned out to be one of my all time favorite layouts.

When I first saw the PP Old School paper I was reminded of being at the University and being a sister of the Alpha Chi Omega sorority. Our colors were red and green so these papers were perfect. The pictures are old and pre-digital so not great quality but I still like them. I used the packaging from the add-on Old School fabric borders to mat one of the photos and

inbetween the notebook papers.

The picture of my daughter went great with kit... I loved the fall feeling! Also the buttons we got in the kit were perfect for the title NUMBER ONE KIDDO.....
