Some of you may know that my son is in culinary school and comes home each night with incredible goodies.  His teacher also loves to take photos of the students surrounded by all their creations.  It's a scrapbooking mom's dream come true especially with a son who hates to get picture taken!!!  I can't tell you how excited I was to have a cooking themed paper packet to work.  Just couldn't wait to get my hands on this paper and create a layouts that I can use to house all his awesome photos.

Since cooking doesn't always lend itself to creative pictures, I tried to create layouts that could be used for other themes.  If you are interested in purchasing this kit, you can order the Gimme Some Sugar paper packet (X7228B), coordinating cardstock (X7228D), Complements (X7228C) and the cute cork shapes (Z4153) for $30.80 + tax and shipping from my website at laurafairbrother.closetomyheart.com and click on the EZ Party button.   Once you've ordered, please send me a quick message via at https://www.facebook.com/foreverscraps  or at foreverscraps@gmail.com and I'll send you the detailed cutting instructions in a full color PDF file. 

Please keep in mind that the instructions guides are offered for free to anyone who purchases the kits off my website.  I do not charge for designing and creating the instruction guide.  My hope is that the guide and cutting instructions will help you unleash your creativity and make the most out of our awesome paper products.

Spending the day creating with the ladies in Shelton.  Thanks Laura for inviting us to join your group.  Absolutely love the new location at the community center, so much room to spread out. Getting a lot of stuff done.  First on the agenda was putting the finishing touches on the layout class for Scrapbook New England's Berkshire crop this month. Hope the ladies like this layout. 

Have you ever been to a craft store and saw something you just had to have.  That was me last weekend at Papercraft Clubhouse.  Saw this beautiful and intricate Koala stamp and die kit by Hero Arts and just had to have.  Made a dozen of card this morning and can't wait to send them out.  Who needs a HUG today!  Also bought the whale stamp, just waiting for the dies to come in.  Will post that card soon. 

Spending the rest of the day working on a layout kit featuring our Gimme Some Sugar paper packet.  Hope to have this ready for purchase by the time the Berkshire's rolls around. 
Lastly, our Chelsea Gardens kits are going quick.  The gems are already sold out.  If you are interest in purchasing, please visit my site at laurafairbrother.ctmh.com.  If you purchase the paper packet, coordinating cardstock and complements, I'll email you the instructions for the layouts kit I've designed which includes 5 double layout patterns.
