More Kioshi

My cousin, Debbie, came over to scrapbook last night. It was a great motivation to get going again. I had so many photos left over from the sleeping layout that I wanted to create a second layout with just a title and pictures. I found some paper and matching cardstock and then sat and stared at what wasn't coming together.

I gave up on that combination and tried another. Still nothing. Finally, I put it all away and grabbed my Kioshi pack and got something down. I was sort of copying a layout, except that mine looked nothing like the one I started out to copy which made me laugh. The only thing that I ended up taking from it was four paper squares. It was easy to get matching papers since they all match in the package.

Then I felt like I was on a roll, so I created another quick layout of Nathalie's smile. I used the same paper package. I wanted to share both layouts so you could see how I've used the Kioshi packages on another 2 layouts.

Another quick post so I can check it off my TO DO list for today. I set it up as a recurring task each day so I wouldn't forget to post. I often ignore it, but at least I can't forget.

I did this layout last month and it was a very quick one. It's just a few pieces of paper from a coordinating paper pack (Basic Grey) and then the photo and a title. So simple.

As always, I love how the papers go together. This layout is so simple because you just grab papers that match.

I scrapbooked tonight and wasn't working from a kit and I struggled to find papers to put together. I know I can do it, but when I'm creating in the evening (three kids home because it's summer tends to make stamping during the day difficult) I'm often too tired to have to think a lot. I finally put it all away and grabbed one of my kits. I ended up using Kioshi by Basic Grey (which is what I used on this layout too). This is the first kit I ever bought and I still have a ton of the paper left. These kits really go so far!!
