New Stuff

Hey, hey, I'm back again!! Funky Playground Designs does new releases on Mondays and Thursdays, and Sarah Bennett's decided to stick with Thursdays as her release date--so look for me to be blogging about Sarah's amazing new designs on Thursdays!This week, she's got 2 super cute alphas, and a great set of boyish paper shapers (though I used them on a girly little page!).

Here are the previews:

First up is Kinda Classy, which looks to be really versatile, but I'll be honest and admit I haven't used it yet...but I'm really liking it, and you can look forward to a layout with it soon!

Then comes Kinda Glassy, which I *have* used (see the end of this post) and I really like it! I'm not usually as into disc/bubble/tile alphas because I never feel like I can really use them right, or that they look right on my page, but these are so much fun, with that glassy look, you can layer them over each other, and they just look CUTE! (or so I think!).
And finally, the paper cutting templates--so cute! This is "volume 1" because Sarah's working on a slightly more girly set (being a mom of 2 girls, I can't wait!), but this set is just darling too--and totally usable for girl pages! So many great shapes in here--frames, borders, and embellies--I used a TON of them in the layout I'll close this post with. They were a lot of fun to use, and got me using a bit more cut paper than I normally do, because, to be honest, I'm usually just too lazy to do it myself! Thanks for saving me the steps, Sarah!


Aren't they fantastic? And you can do so much with them! Alter the sizes, layer them, use just a little piece, or repeat them over and over on your layout...fantastic!

Anyway, here's my latest page, using TONS of Sarah's products! I've used her FPD contest and blog freebies, April Skies and Sweet Spring, and stuff from Worn Out Girl, Boat Ride, Cut it Out, and Kinda Glassy...whew! This page was a work of love (it's also a lift of a cute layout called "Miller Family" by Picklejuice7 at ScrapMatters--gotta give credit where it's due!). Anyway, you can check my SM gallery for complete credits and a link to the original layout.

So, that's it from me. I'll be back later with some more layouts I've been working on for Brynn and Bree, and probably Sarah too! (and I might even throw some Megan in again soon! Have you checked out the new store yet? You better!). Thanks for reading, now go buy Sarah's stuff!
