2 more days and 2 more bags

Wow, this week has gone fast, there are only two more days to go of grabbag week, so I am going to show you my layouts using Jill's grabbag and those using Kim's grabbag.

Jill first, her preview didn't give that much away of what is inside it, so maybe these layouts will give a little hint...

First off we have our up and coming Scrapper -Richard! When Robert goes back to Kindergarden in the afternoons all Richard wants to do is "cutting, drawing and gluing", and it certainly looks like scrapping to me! Maybe I should give him a couple of photos and see what he comes up with..!

(hint hint - I used two of the products from the bag in this layout)

And this is me and Richard, I used an action by Pioneer Woman on the photo.

(just one product on this layout)

And that rounds off the layouts I made using the bags I was given. BUT for being CT of the month I got a gift voucher to spend at the store, so I bought Kim's grabbag, and now I'll show you what I made with that...

This is Richard, I think he must have been reading over my shoulder when I checked the September Challenges at DSO, cause this was the quote for September! I can't remember the last time he fell asleep in the lounge or anywhere other than bed, but on Friday he crashed mid-play! Bless him!
and this is Zoe on her birthday,

I knew how I wanted the layout to look and had to find something or write something for down the side of the photo, well, I couldn't come up with anything from me, so I went searching and found this lovely poem about kids.

CHILDREN ARE...
Amazing, acknowledge them.
Believable, trust them.
Childlike, allow them.
Divine, honor them.
Energetic, nourish them.
Fallible, embrace them.
Gifts, treasure them.
Here Now, be with them.
Innocent, delight with them.
Joyful, appreciate them.
Kindhearted, learn from them.
Lovable, cherish them.
Magical, fly with them.
Noble, esteem them.
Open minded, respect them.
Precious, value them.
Questioners, encourage them.
Resourceful, support them.
Spontaneous, enjoy them.
Talented, believe in them.
Unique, affirm them.
Vulnerable, protect them.
Whole, recognize them.
Xtraspecial, celebrate them.
Yearning, notice them.
Zany, laugh with them.

And that is all of my layouts using the grabbags available at DSO. If you still need convincing check DSO's gallery there are some lovely layouts from the CT there.
Happy Shopping!
Back tomorrow - I have some more layouts to show off, that have nothing to do with the bags...

Grab a bag, ...or two... or three....

Well it is finally here PU Grab Bag Week at DSO, and today I am allowed to give everyone some sneak peaks to the contents

First of all, check out all the bags available:

And each one of them for only $3.00!!! And I have seen inside some of these bags and believe me you can't go wrong!
I'll be back over the next few days showing you what I created using some of the bags, but I will give you a little taste today (and if you check the designers blogs (see my sidebar) you will see many hints on their blogs too)
I have linked all the layouts to the respective grabbags, should you feel the urge to go and grab a bargain!

First up, using Lynn's Grabbag (LPand3dogs Designs), my Mum with her Mum (Nanny).

Then what about this one using Charlie's Grabbag - Richard and Zoe on the beach. (my first attempt and most certainly not the last using a photomask!)

Bored yet?! I hope not, cause here I have one using Jill's Grabbag - Richard just loves cutting and glueing so do I have a scrapper in the making!


And another one, this is using Andrea's Grabbag - this is the boys picking all the redcurrants for me!

Bunny was also going to make a grabbag, but Real Life got in the way, so the template I used for this layout of my boys looking for bugs is in the store now. I also used Melanie Ann's kit "Little Explorer".

OK, stop by through the week, cause these are not the only layouts I did with the kits! So lots more hints to come before the bags go on sale for full price next weekend!

CU tomorrow
