Guest Designs for The Scrapping Nook

I had a blast during August as Guest Design Team member at The Scrapping Nook. I had the awesome Autumn Leaves Foliage collection to work with; lucky me! My kit arrived a bit late in the month, so I'm just finishing up these designs now, in addition to the one I posted already, World's Cutest Biker Chicks.

For FLY, in addition to the Autumn Leaves products and the Bazzill cardstock that I received in the Guest Designer kit, I added some Basic Grey alpha stickers from the Obscure line, also available at The Nook.
This is Vanessa in her first year of soccer, in hot pursuit of the ball. She was fickle all season, sometimes not wanting to play, other times a super star. I wrote about this here.
Imagination Gives You Wings! Alicia has quite the imagination, creating personalities for all of her stuffed animals, pretending to be a teacher or a chef, and a favourite of hers - Tinkerbell. She wore this former Halloween costume all summer!

I added some new gel-a-tins stamps (now at The Nook!), K and Co. brads and Heidi Swapp alphas here.
Just as I was finishing my layouts with this kit, Margo, The Nook's September Guest Designer, posted a Labour Day Challenge, and I couldn't help put be inspired. She asked us to create a layout about labour or birth. I wasn't as big into photos back then, but I did find this favourite photo - our two sweet daughters ready for their first adventure - a drive home from the hospital.

I loved how fresh and new these papers felt, and thought they were perfect for a layout about newborns. Again, I used a little of the new Pretty Fancy Letters stamps from gel-a-tins, Basic Grey monograms and letter stickers and Heidi Swapp alphas added to this one.

I had an awesome time this month over at The Scrapping Nook, and want to say thank you to Patti, Elia, and everyone who played along and made the month so much fun. Thank you for the opportunity! Have a super September.
