Have I mentioned that I signed up for Scraptastic's Kit Club? I did. I also signed up for Studio Calico. This was back when I was finishing up my student teaching and I felt the need to reward myself. Also, I thought I was returning to my job at the camera store. So yeah, I've since cancelled the Scraptastic kit.
In the meantime, I did get a couple of kits. I dreamed wistfully of these kits, but alas, for the most part I've just been "eh" about them. And while that may sound mean, I merely mean that they're not "me." I drooled about these kits based on what other scrappers did with them, but once in my hands I realized that they aren't quite at home there (in my hands).
And then the Summer Nights kit came and first I was like "What?" And then I was like "Huh?" I was expecting to not really like it, but the photos of the kit didn't really do it justice. Plus, the packet of embellishments from Simple Stories was just yummy.
Let's see. The blue border was actually cut out and laid on top of the white sheet of cardstock, so there's a very thin white border around the whole layout. And that grey bit of ickiness at the top? That's the matboard that I rest the layout on for photographing it. It's not supposed to be there and it's going to drive me nuts. :(
The pictures are from a walk I took around downtown Willoughby, which the locals refer to as DTW. DTW is only 2 blocks long, but it's chock full'o bars, restaurants, galleries, antique shops and boutiques...all of which are closed on Sundays. Which makes it the perfect day to pull out the camera and go for a walk. ;) In the fall we did a ghost walk, and we were taken off the beaten path to hear stories. I've been wanting to go back to some of the spots, and that's what I did one Sunday in early June. I did it by myself, which makes the photos somehow less layout-worthy... Does that even make sense? I didn't take this walk with my family or boyfriend, and therefore it doesn't rate a scrapbook page? Hmmm. Oh well. I made a page anyway. :P
Thanks for stopping by! ☺
