Hands On (Artful Delight)

Before I get to today's post, I'd like to take a moment to remember those people who tragically lost their lives on 9/11/01. I can still remember that day so vividly, as I'm sure alot of us can, and it was such a sad day for our country. For anyone who lost a loved one or friend that day, may God bless you and give you comfort.

--------------------

Now I'd like to share a layout with you that I created using the September kit from Artful Delight. I am having so much fun with this kit!!






Supplies Used From The Artful Delight September Kit: Crate Paper Farmhouse Paper - Produce, Cross Stitch, Countryside & Homemade; Jillibean Soup Apple Cheddar Soup Paper - Sharp Cheddar Cheese
Other Supplies Used: Tim Holtz Distress Ink - Walnut Stain; Ali Edwards Stamp Set - Favorite Memories; Fiskars Triangle Punch; Fiskars Butterfly Punch; Martha Stewart Butterfly Punch; Doodlebug Jack & Jill Alphabet Stickers - Bonbon; Basic Grey Button


This is one of those rare times that I came up with the design all by myself. I almost always start creating with a sketch or by doing some scraplifting...it's just what seems to work best for me. This time though, I had an idea of doing the border of little banners and started there. I had no idea what other papers I'd use or what pics would work...it was crazy! It worked out great though, so maybe I should try this process more often. ;)

Have you picked up a kit for yourself yet? If not, I'd definitely recommend getting one quickly if you're planning to, before they sell out! The kit is packed of fabulous goodies and I promise you'll love it...
