FEBRUARY 2011 KIT!!! *Scroll down for a giveaway*


Sometimes after the hustle and bustle of shipping a kit out, I stand back amazed! I have been putting kits together for over 7 years. This is monthly kit number 87! I think I have done the math wrong before. I started in December of 2003 with kits.

I feel very fortunate about my job! It may not be the highest paid job or easy (it is a little labor intensive) but there is no doubt it is rewarding! Not only do I get to scrapbook my family but I help lots of other scrapbookers preserve their family memories. I have made so many friends through scrapbooking also. I consider our message board to be like the "Pen Pals" of this decade. It is so fun to meet other women all over the world and share this love of scrapbooking! I am feeling super blessed this month about PersonalScrapper.com and where we are at!
Ok, now on to February 2011 kit. This month we are using WeRMemory Keepers Be My Valentine paper line. If you know me, you know that I like a versatile kit. I don't just do "theme" kits. If I pick a line that is Valentiney, I make sure that other layouts can be created with the kit.

Here are the layouts we have done with the kit so far!
My scanner is not scanning colors right but i still wanted to give you an idea of what we created.

The kit comes with a variety of glitter brads from American Crafts. These were an easy way to add a little bling to my page! I also loved the little cards on the WeR papers.
Andrew loved riding this bike in the snow. This page is simple but I liked the white background. I wish my scanner would not cut off die-cut papers. This paper was perfect for this photo of my hubby & I. The ribbon that comes in the kit is wired and very easy to fold, etc.


Loved these photos of Jenny's! She always does a fantastic job of layering her papers and embellishments! The first one, she shows a cute way to decorate the die-cut with hearts and a brad. On the second one, i love how she framed the photos with the ruffled ribbon!
These photos are so fun! I love the papers and the cute ruffled ribbon! Jenny cut out the hearts and layered them!


This page by Carrie has so many different elements to it! I love the photos (precious!). She used great papers together and added all the perfect touches of embellishments.


I love how Carrie layered the papers on this layout! She also was very creative and cut the diecut and embellished it! Love the inking too! Great family photo!


First off, this photo is gorgeous!!! I love that it is 8x12 and goes all the way across the paper. The embellishments look great with this page!

Thanks for reading this far down!

**Leave a comment before February 8 and you could win a set of some of the embellishments used in this kit!
