i had a feeling from the moment we saw the images and content lists...but when it showed up on my doorstep, WOW. head over heels. LOVE this one above all others, lol. so here we go!!
a few surprises this month for me. i didn't expect to love these K&Co. vintage frames so much...but i do. and i will be seeking out more for my stash, as it is something i can see myself using. over and over. i am a big fan of frames in general, so the twist on these sent me reeling!
surprise #2: those sequin Prima flower centers from the Tilt-a-Whirl add-on. i used one on almost every layout, and will be hunting them down in other colors. the aqua chipboard Thickers from American Crafts (in the Whacky Shack add-on) nestled their way onto just about everything as well this month, lol.
surprise #3: the sentiments stamps in the Skycoaster add-on. i didn't particularly think i needed a set like this, but holy pete...they come in handy!
this last sneak is entirely from the Main Kit, Joyland...those Sassafras yellow stickers are amazing, and i want them in every color now. i have to add, i have had this photo of my Dad for as long as i can remember...just waiting for the 'right' time to use it. i sifted through a few photos this month and it jumped out at me. now, looking at this kit you certainly wouldn't think about using it for a 'military' layout...but the elements worked perfectly, and i'm stoked about getting this story down on paper as it's one i want to remember always. his words when he would tell me about this specific incident, arriving at a military base where he was stationed in Germany at the ripe old age of 18, way back in 1957...they still run through my mind.
that's all i have for sneaks...it's an amazing kit for sure.
and every single add-on rivals the next.
so don't forget, subscribers can purchase add-ons at NOON EST this SATURDAY the 27th!!
(and also the Shop will be chock full of new goodies for EVERYONE to purchase beginning at NOON EST!!)
see you then!
great sneaks! ... and I have seen the K&Co frames at Archiver's over in Fairlawn, so I bet they would be at the North Olmstead store too :)

ReplyDeletehi nicole I am wondering for the longest time what is the name of the flower punch @ no 2 sneak pic? I love your sneaks. thanks
ReplyDeletehey Mariam!!
ReplyDeletethe flower punch is 'Chrysanthemum' by Martha Stewart...i know April said she ordered it for the Shop, but i don't know when it will be available. it is AWESOME!! :)
great sneaks!
ReplyDeleteAnd I love that you post about the surprises that you found and your favorite items. It's always interesting how something that may not have been "your style" works its way into layouts!
omg! I love how you used that Prima beaded center! I was stumped and didn't end up using any of them. I cannot wait to see that layout of your father.
