Two Kits Down

Not only did I managed to finish the kit that Maddie chose the other day, I also got another one finished....very satisfying!

In the Glitz, Love Nest kit there was one whole sheet of patterned paper, one sheet of cardstock and a few leftover bits of paper and embellishments.  I managed to get two layouts out of it!

The first one uses a picture of Maddie being a bridesmaid, I think it was all too much for her :)

I only had relatively small bits of paper to work with so made some flowers:

And I jazzed up some Thickers (I saw this when I was blog hopping and can't remember where so, unfortunately, can't give credit):

I can't show you all of the other layout I did as it's for a sketch group I'm in and the big reveal isn't until next week, I'll show you a sneak though :)

The next kit chosen by Maddie is from Gotta Craft and it's Lime Twist:

I've only used a little bit of this kit so I've got my work cut out for me if I want to get it used up by next week!
I've been having a lovely, lazy weekend so far and this evening I'm off to see Paul for a few days....I'm so excited :)

Hope you're having a good weekend

Kits

Okay, the other day I said I had a plan for using up my kits and here it is:

Everywhere I look there are kits, I subscribe to Gotta Craft and Sarah's Cards:

So I get two big kits everyone month and on top of that two smaller kits every month from my crop, also available at Gotta Craft.

Even after taking a few photos of kits today I realised I still had even more dotted about the house and some still in my tote bag!

Now this really isn't a brag post about how many kits I've got, we've all got them tucked away somewhere.  This is a post about my plan to get them used.  First I need the help of my beautiful assistant:

 I asked Maddie to pick a kit from the selection laid out:

After much eye rolling she selected this kit:

From Gotta Craft in February.  The papers are Glitz, Love Nest and it is a kit that I have actually cut into already!

So now I'm going to sort out some photos to go with the kit.  I normally do it the other way round but I've challenged myself to use this kit and it will be so much easier to look through albums to find the perfect photos.  I won't be moving on to my next kit until I can't get any more out of this one, I might even make some cards.

I'm going to try and use this kit up by the end of the weekend and telling you all about it will mean I have to get it done.  Next week I'll show you the layouts I've made from this kit and show you next week's kit selected by my beautiful assistant.

If you want to join in then link me to your blog and we'll encourage each other :)

In other news, I've got first aid training tomorrow. When my brother passed his course he made everyone call him Doctor!

Hope your week is going well
