Sept. KLD Blog Hop

Welcome crafty friends!

I'm excited to have you joining me on this super fun Kiwi Lane Designs Blog Hop! If you are hopping along the way you just arrived her from the talented Claire's blog.

Todays blog hop is bitter sweet for me as this is my last KLD blog hop as a design team member. I've had the honor of being apart of the first design team for Kiwi Lane Designs and it's been an amazing experience! I'm excited to share my hop projects with you today and if you like what you see, I'd love for you to follow me on my blog as I continue to share my passion for scrapbooking!

 If you ended up here by chance be sure to go back and finish up the hop from the Kiwi Lane Blog.

The winner will be announced on the Kiwi blog Sept.12th.

Being apart of the Kiwi Lane Design team has been a blast!!! I have loved every minute of it!!! Just like I am in love with all their Designer templates! If you haven't tried any of the templates be sure to pick yourself up a set or two and give them a try. I promise you won't be disappointed!  I can't imagine not having them as a part of my arsenal of scrapbook supplies! 

For todays hop I wanted to show how you can take the same group of templates and create totally different scrapbook layouts with a different look and feel.

The templates I decided to use include:

* Celebrate 1, 5

* Wacky 2T

* Abbie Road Mini 1A

* (2) 4x6 Photo

* Adorn 3A

* Sunnybrook Lane 1B

First step before I start cutting into my designer papers is to frame out each layout. I love this step! I think of the Framing process as a movable sketch! Framing gives me a jumping off point, it also gives me an idea of what my layout might look like when it's completed. Don't worry, you don't have to keep the framing the same if you feel you need to move a template, move a template.

I created "2" different layouts with all of the above templates.

I'll be sharing the framing process before pictures and the final after layout pictures.

Layout #1

*don't mind the little white squares, I had to cover the photos for privacy*

Layout #2

I love that I was able to get 2 layouts done using the same templates! It was so fast putting both these  together and I love how different they look! I hope I have inspired you to challenge yourself and give this a try.
