Let's bring it on home...

Here is the last of the last...a final layout with this kit

Shine:

The pink polka dot paper is covered with velum to tone it down a little. I added some PL cards, labels, a little  bird cut from the bird paper, chip clouds, LOVE clip and shine badge. The stamp is from Freckled Fawn.

And this is what I have left...most of the alphabet, a 4x4 square of pink polka dot paper, a few labels, some birds I salvaged from scraps of the bird paper, part of a doily cut from the back side of the bird paper and a few gems. The labels and gems will be used in my summer travel mini and the alphabet incorporated into my stash...and I really should make a card with the paper;)

Thanks for joining me on this kit killing journey.  It has been fun and now I am going to work a little bit on the Office Hours kit and the month of May PL.

What about that colored 12 x 12 card stock?

It throws me every month and usually it get deposited into my colored card stock bin and when that is full it gets donated or sold.  I am a white card stock kind of girl. But in the spirit of the challenge I used both colored pieces this month.
I used the green piece as card bases for a couple of cards:

I used the stamp from the card kit and tried a couple of different stamping techniques on water color paper...a bonus is that I used up the last little piece of the striped paper and also used some ribbon.

Then I used the other piece on this layout:

I also used the doily side of the bird paper and some project life cards from the kit that I did not use in my project life spread and a cute Freckled Fawn heart clip.

Next step...layouts!

So after I used up the stuff I wasn't loving, making layouts was easy.  I like to use my kits with the same month I am using the PL cards so everything matches. All I had to do is print out pictures which is the rate limiting step of my creating layouts, but I have started ordering prints from Costco and it just may be the ticket I need to catch up on PL.

Layout 1: Jump

This layout used up the top piece of patterned paper and as a bonus I got to use some Freckled Fawn clouds that have been sitting unloved in my embellishment box.

Layout 2: Love 

For this layout I used 2 partial sheets of patterned paper included in the kit and some of those awesome gold foil labels.  

Layout 3: i love you so much

I used up the pink sheet of patterned paper with this layout and a few more of the gold labels and some of the gems from the kit.  I went through my "old" kit bowl of goodies and found the confetti tags, and the hello speech bubble.  Added some die cuts and butterfly sequins and called it done.

Still a lot of kit left and I will be sharing what happened to my scraps from these layouts tomorrow.
