Kit Coordination Perfection

Lincoln Park Zoo is so beautiful in the fall. We have a membership and go there a lot! And, as a result I have a lot of zoo pocket pages. Lol. 

 

I just want to take a minute to point out how well these Take 10 Kits are put together. They do such a wonderful job coordinating the cards and exclusive items with the retail collections they select. 

I mean, look at the how well the green "blessed" tab from Pink Paislee matches the "Hello November" card!! Professionals.  

Again! Perfection in the embellishments going with the card! It really makes a pocket page layout come together quickly.  

This is my favorite spot for group shots! On the bridge with the city skyline in the background.

Morning Outing

I am using the Woodland Take 10 Kit (October - the pocket kit is still available) to create this fun layout about a morning spent with my dear friend and co-blogger!   

I tend to use a lot more 3x4 cards in my layouts than 4x6. To stretch my kits, I will sometimes cut down a 4x6 to make two cards.

 
  
I think that light blue may be my favorite color right now. Especially in pocket pages.  The Pink Paislee Cedar Lane collection made its way into the glam bag. It all goes so well together and really feels like fall. 

A Harvest of Memories was such a great fit for this page. I've known Luly for a long time now. She has always been my mentor in the architecture realm and we quickly discovered we had another common love - Scrapbooking! We started www.paintedladiesjournal.com in February, as a place to share and inspire our crafty sides. 

 
I had been "saving" this smile embellishment for the perfect layout. Finally, used it!  Do you NOT use favorite items, for fear that later you'll wish you still had it for something else? I'm trying to get out of that mentality.

  
 
   
 
Those little acorn stamps are my fave. I pulled out my marker set and had some fun coloring.
