Paper Lovelies August 2011 Kit !!! (plus a sketch!)
Author: shaunna | Filed under: Arts & Craftsi’m really excited to finally be able to share the August 2011 Paper Lovelies kit with everyone! this kit is SUPER CUTE, and packed full of goodies from the new Cosmo Cricket “Odds & Ends” line! i was really excited when i got it in the mail – so many ideas came bursting out of my brain for what i could do with this stuff – i couldn’t wait to get started working with it 
unfortunately, i only had a short time to come up with some cards to help show off the kit, since we went on vacation for two weeks… but i managed to bang out three cards and i definitely plan on doing more with what i have left so stay tuned for that! but enough out of me – here’s the kit!

can you say fabulous?!?! i love this kit so much! you had better hurry if you want to get yours – $15 is an amazing bargain, and quantities are limited! head over to Paper Lovelies to pick up a kit before they are gone!!! they usually go pretty fast!
everyone did something different with this kit and it’s really awesome to see how it can be used for various papercrafting projects! this kit is packed SO full of goodies that the possibilities are endless!!! check out the other designers’ examples in the Paper Lovelies Design Team Gallery for more fantastic ideas on how to use this kit for scrapbook pages and cards! here’s what i managed to come up with for the kit so far -
i also made a sketch to go with the first two cards – BONUS! i love trying to work from a sketch whenever possible; it always makes the process SOOOO much easier for me! feel free to use this sketch to make your own cards as well – a link back to this page would be appreciated if you do – and i would LOVE to see what anyone else does with it so feel free to link your creations back in the comments thread as well
this sketch has so many possibilities… you can replace the stars with ANYTHING that strikes your fancy. i have a few more ideas in mind for it, so i will post them when i finish them! i especially like the middle card because this kit seemed kind of “girly” and i wanted to be able to do something that was a bit more “masculine” with it to show off all the potential the kit has.
i really hope that everyone who manages to get their hands on this kit enjoys it as much as i have! kudos to Paper Lovelies this month for putting together such a fabulous kit hope to be back soon with more examples of what you can do with it!!!
