Scrap Orchard

One of the other digital sponsors we had for April/May's issue of Ready Set Create was Scrap Orchard. They have such cute and whimsical stuff! Check out the Beautiful World Kit I just saw today as I was browsing around. How cute is that?

I chose to work with the Birdilicious Kit by Kami of Ziggle Designs and Irene of He-ARTistic Touch:

I created two layouts using this kit.

For the layout above, my photos were a little too bright and didn't go too well with the more subdued colors of the kit. I desaturated them so that just a hint of color shows through - I love how it turned out! The kit includes a fun rolled edge I used on the yellow paper to give the illusion of dimension. I also used Sparkilicious Stitches over the edges of the red paper-

This might come as a shock, but I actually did a layout that didn't center around Makele and Jack! I'm getting better at that, but I still love to scrapbook their cute little faces. These pictures were taken when Shawna, Kylie, Taryn and me went to Swiss Days last year. My nieces, Mallory and Ellie performed with the Midway Children's choir.
