Quick and Easy Double Page Layout

It's Thursday and I am counting down to Friday.  Today will be very busy and filled with lots of emotion--more on that later.  If you have followed my blog of a while you will know that one of my secrets is KITS! Yes I admit I love me a good layout kit.  They are usually fast, all the bits and bobs are in one place, and you can spend more time on the personalization than the layout--cause the best part about a kit is putting your unique spin on it.

This fun kit is from Out on a Limb Scrapbooking--the kit only cost $6.00.  All the bits were cut and sized for the most part.  The kit included few instructions but a very clear picture.  At their sight they have tons of layout kits as well as a bunch of Chalk Ink colors for $1.99 and a ton of ideas!

Here is the left side page!

And the right side of the layout--

So for the cupcakes I added some bling with glitter.  The top layer was sent through my zyron upside down and than glittered with MS gold glitter.  The under layer was prepped the same but I used a super fine clear glitter. 

So for the balloons, I used a PBD leopard background stamp (a two step stamp) for the pattern.  I first stamped the first layer in a like color tone to the paper.  Once dry I stamped the second layer with versa mark ink and than applied fine embossing powder and used my heat gun to set.  I love a good heat embossed accent.

For the photo mats I wanted to make them pop a little so I inked the edges and sent them all through the cuttlebug with the same embossing folder.  One of the photo mats had a little bit of ribbon that was also supplied in the kit materials. 

I hope you like the layout--and go check them out--they have TONS of fun layouts and if you like scrapbooking and are sort on time you can get a whole scrapbook for about $72 and say 10 hours of putting them all together--for a priceless gift or memory book--I think its a great deal!
