Now on to the good stuff!  The kit is FAB-U-LOUS!  It's my favorite kit yet!!  I've done 4 layouts, one of which is a two pager and I can do so much more....and I WANT to!  Jessica has such a GREAT mix of papers and embellishments that I don't feel like I'm using the same stuff over and over.

Introducing Lucky Girl Crafts April Kit  - A Boy & His Toys!
Don't let the title fool you, it's not for boys alone!  It's an amazing kit and I love how versatile it is!

I'm going to show you 3 of the layouts I did (saving the last one for another post...what a teaser I know).  Let's start with the two pager.  I used the cream cardstock from the kit and Crate Paper patterned paper, CP tags, CP stickers,CP alpha stickers & Thickers on this.  I had a lot of photos and wanted to include as much as possible on the layout.  I love how it turned out!
I just had to use one of those photos from my last post!  Isn't great when you can use a photo you just LOVE!?  MME patterned paper, CP tags, CP stickers, CP Chipboard, CP alpha stickers & more Thickers!
By the way....those little alpha stickers from CP have a woodgrain texture look....so cute!  I'll add some close ups later so you can see them, but trust me....you WANT them!
And last is my favorite layout!  Another photo that I've been tweaking and playing with in PSE7.  I'm loving how much more fun my photos are to scrap with.  Now I realize that I won't have the time to do this to all my photos, but to take some favorites now and then will be great.  Also, this was not the best photo.  It's not a high quality image at all.  But by adding some artistic flair, it has become a FANTASTIC photo and one that I love.  Another great reason to play with PSE, or your favorite photo editing software.

Thanks for stopping by today!  Your next step on the hop is our fabulous Sabrina....you are going to LOVE what she has for you!!!  Don't forget to leave her some love!
