Kit leftovers and Day 16 of Thankfulness

Today I actually got to create :)
I finished my 2 page spread scrapbooking layouts I started last night.
I am still working on photographing my layouts.
I use a 12x12 flooring tile to keep the layouts from bowing, but I still haven't got the correct angle to make them a crisp perfect square.

Here are the left over pieces from the Crop & Create kit I have been working from.
The kit was designed to make 4 pages..I got 6 layouts out of it, I just had to add 2 sheets of card stock.
From these pieces I could probably make another page (I would have to add my own card stock). But I am a 2 page kind of girl, so this won't work for me.
I could make some 6x6 layouts or cards with a few of my scraps thrown in.
We will see, but I really do want to totally finish this kit off.

















Day 16 of 30 Days of Thankfulness.
Today I am thankful for chocolate.
It doesn't matter in what form.
It could be a chocolate bar, a chocolate cake, my chocolate turtles or a chocolate covered marshmallow ;)
No worries, I got my fruit in today…a banana dipped in chocolate ;)























I hope you all had a wonderful and creative Saturday :)

  1. Oh Tracy...you made me giggle with your chocolate picture!

    Thanks for the tip about the 12x12 tile to help keep the layouts from bowing.

    I am hopeless at keeping the square layout or card a true square or true rectangle...If you learn any tricks please post them!!!

    I have always wondered if there is a photo program that would correct that!

  3. That's a good idea, a tile to keep it from bowing. I'm always trying to find something heavy to hold my projects down. The rest of that kit would look great on some cards! Maybe a small set of themed thank yous or something? Lol, about the banana dipped in chocolate :)

  5. Chocolate is an excellent thing to be thankful for! Look forward to seeing your layout. I had a creative Saturday making a decorative box for a Christmas gift. Happy Sunday!

  7. Looking forward to seeing those layouts and lots of goodies left over. Hmmmmm banana eh - are you sure? It looks a little like a marshmallow :-) :-) Did you know, if you eat fruit with chocolate the calories don't count :-)

  8. You are getting full value from your kits. I think the banana looks like a marshmallow, too. Enjoy your chocolate.

  10. That is awesome that you got so many layouts from the kit!

    I used to only do two page layouts, but lately I've been doing lots of one pagers. I'm not sure why!

    The chocolate looks delicious!

    Using a tile is a good idea to keep your layouts flat! I hang mine up with putty on the wall, and then I photograph them head on. It isn't always exactly square, but its better than when I tried to stand over them on the floor!

  11. Mercy! You have made six (6) layouts from that one kit and you have so little left. That is quite a feat! Seems you have had fun doing it as well. Bonus!

    Chocolate :/ I have been craving that stuff for the past couple days. Nothing seems to do it for me and let me tell you....I have gone through quite a bit of chocolate recently :-(

    Hugs to you my friend - Leslie
