Here is the last layout I did with the August kit, Summer Soiree.
Martha just put the kits in the store and after the people with subscriptions picked theirs for the month, there is only 1 Summer Soiree left and 3 Bloom and Grows. Don't wait if you want one of these kits. They will sell out!
Also, I hosted a little craft night earlier this week. Two of my fun friends came over to make a project with me. Remember the USA blocks I made with the July kit? Well, we did a Halloween version. . .
LOVE IT! They turned out so cute!
Anyone else want to craft with us?

My August Pages for SD4U
So here is what I made with this beautiful kit! SD4U Store
My Weston and his cousine Ellie at the lake just last Saturday. I think this is the soonest I have ever scrapped a picture after taking it, lol. I just loved this one of them together. They are just about a year apart. The striped paper is pleated and I love that little bit of dimension with just paper! The kit also comes with a Queen and Co felt title and I cut it apart for this title and felt embellishments on the left.
My 3 at the same lake as above last Saturday. This is based on a 52 sketches sketch. I added the green rick rack from an older kit and the brads and label holder from a peachycheap.com purchase. The brads and label holder are Fancy Pants.
My kids in the back yard last summer. You know when you use a border punch on your edges and how a little strip gets cut off? I usually just throw that away. This time I decided to use it on my layout. That very thin strip of green paper was the cut off strip when I used my threading water punch on the dotted paper. Gotta love double sided papers!
The heat wave title comes in the kit layered with a glimmer misted sun layered on top. I added the black outlines and stickles to the title. I think this is a great addition to the kits!
Here is a close up of that title:
and this is my most favorite layout from the kit!
Those little felt embellies are awesome. I added some stickles to them. I love the little sparkle that gives.
I also glimmer misted the Seashore title that Martha included in the kit. Then added stickles to define the image on the sand dollar. Here is a close up of that.
What do you think of the precut titles? I think they are really fun!
I still have my mini book I am working on. Hopefully I can show you that soon!
Thanks for looking.

MME CHallenge
My Minds Eye is having its first blog challenge here: http://mymindseye.typepad.com/blog/
Basically I just had to use some of their "Breaking Free" line. I didn't think I had any until I remembered that I had bought some when I was in Chicago. Score!
I had been saving this picture of Wade and this paper was PERFECT! I love how this turned out.
