We have made some wonderful connections with manufacturers in the year and a half that we’ve been open, and American Crafts is one of our favorites. They are always so generous at CHA with the products that they donate for product matching and their retailer giveaways are beyond generous. this month we’ve teamed up with them to offer TWO reveal night giveaways of {my forever favorite} Craft Fair line from last year.
Just leave a comment before midnight on Sunday March 14th {when the new kits are revealed!} and we will draw two names to win a huge assortment of Craft Fair goodness. yes, you read right, TWO OF YOU will win a pile like the one above. That pile is almost $100 of yumminess people and it goes so perfectly sprinkled in with the March kits!!
Good Luck and don’t forget to join us tomorrow night at 8pm pacific for our reveal night chat where we’ll be giving some more AC away as we count down to the reveal of one of my alltime collection of favorite kits.
Happy Saturday!

Another sweet international friend, Natalie Kahlbach, created these two beautiful projects using our february Garden Party add-on kit {there are still a few available here}. Is that vintage hanger above not the sweetest? I’m such a sucker for vintage photos.

And I love how she used some glimmer mist {she’s on the design team for Tattered Angels} on the My Minds Eye pattern paper here, completely changed the muted tone, didn’t it?
You can see more of Natalies work on her fabulous technique driven blog, scrapbook-trends.
March kit sneaks peeks coming tomorrow :)
Happy Thursday!

We are having a ball playing around with all of the Kenner Road Digital Elements (available here). Check out what we’ve been creating!
Gretchen created some gorgeous cards with Honeychurch plus her February kits.


amy created this gorgeous layout using the new tin flowers & junk drawer elements that were just released yesterday.


Cathy created a lovely photo hanging using the frame from the Honeychurch digi kit and some goodies from the February add-on. That frame is so realistic looking, it screams to be printed out! She layered the photo behind the frame in Photoshop and then printed the frame and photo together as one piece. If you don’t have Photoshop, you can print the frame and photo separately and assemble the pieces afterwards.

Diana crafted this piece from an old shoe box lid. After covering the lid in strips of vintage book pages and inked muslin, she added a paper from Honeychurch digi kit as her background. She added other KR digi goodies from junk draw elements, tin flowers and the flashcard alphabet which were attached to tiny wooden blocks and more vintage book page strips wrapped around them.

and kL designed this beautiful layout featuring her grandparents house using oodles of stacked elements from the newest junk drawer & tin flower releases as well as various pre-released kR kits:

what have you been up to with the Kenner Road Digital goodies?
Have a happy day!
xoxo
