Love, Tuesday...

Here's what I'm LOVING today...

and this...

So cute right??  YES... Heidi Sonboul has really outdone herself this month and I'm SO LOVING this "shabby chic-ness" that she had inside of her!  hehehe...  I knew you had MAJOR talent girl, but you have blown me away this month with your layouts and a whole new look with this kits!  THANKS GIRLFRIEND!

Speaking of the OCTOBER kits before I move onto the November kits...  I am SO SORRY... I have forgotten 3 THINGS this month...

1. To put up the DT layouts on the website gallery!

2. To send the Marie Digital image sheet to those who wanted it!

3. To tell you NORMA did a SKETCH for this month and I FORGOT!  oops...

So, I'm going to work on getting the gallery up, email the file to those who want it and

SHOW YOU THE SKETCH RIGHT HERE!  Yup, it's going to be free to ALL this month!

Just right click on the image and save it and you will have a wonderful sketch from our lovely Norma Kennedy, who by the way is celebrating her...

BIRTHDAY TODAY!  Happy Birthday Darling, we LOVE YOU!!

O.k. onto the November kit...

I just got an email from Collage Press on the "Joyride" line.  They had some delays and should have everything in a couple days but I won't be getting it until early next week.  I'm not sure what to do at this point, but I won't have many kits for that line anyways because I'm actually using it to teach a banner class at Paper Tales soon!

So the MAIN kit for next month with be the one with the BRAND NEW Melody Ross line and I thought I would share more SNEAKS from the other things in this kit too...

Here you can see just a little more... The lovely PRIMA FLOWERS, Prima specialty paper, the Barcelona line from 7 gypsies (LOVE IT) and some Maya Road chipboard, pins and album!!  I am LOVING the colors of this kit and can't wait to play with the mini album soon...  What I also wanted to share with you are some of the EUROPE FINDS and VINTAGE FINDS that will be in this kit, so here goes:

This is a VINTAGE SCRAPBOOK that I found a few months back.  It has all poems and thoughts and quotes and is a real treasure chest of inspiration!  Just look at the pages:

I've carefully seperated these pages and there will be one in each kit!

O.k. these are SO COOL!  My mom found these at an estate sale... There are 24 VINTAGE postcards and they are BEAUTIFUL!  Very "Marie Antionette" with a twist... One of these will be in each kit too!

O.k. remember this book I got along the Seine in Paris?  I've been saving this magazine for the right kit and with the colors of Melody Ross' new line, it's PERFECT!  Check out a few pages inside:

I mean come on... Is this a FIND or WHAT??  This magazine is from the early 1900's and has the most AMAZING pages AND reproduction ART!  I hate to cut it up, but I know YOU LADIES will find such inspiration from these pages and I can't WAIT to see what the DT comes up with too!

I also got a RENIOR art book with reproductions of his paintings:

Now this one has a few "nudies" in it and I don't plan on sending these to anyone...  But I think I have a total of 24 of these reproductions between the two books, so everyone gets ONE!!!  Yeah!!!

Here's more of the Italian "finds"... The paper from Italy with the lemons on it, the postcards from ITALY and the vintage travel book on Venice!  Then I found some great vintage map stickers and the old photo is from a KIT CLUB lady, Beth Williams, who sent me a TON of old family photographs and said I could put them to good use!!  So everyone is getting all of these goodies as well!

There's SO MUCH MORE, but I have to cook dinner and wanted to leave you with this ADORABLE sheet music book my mom found:

She told me I couldn't cut it apart... it has such wonderful old christmas sheet music inside!  I have to think long and hard if I want to obey my mom or not... hehehe...

Oh, I'm also working on an album with the wood Chatterbox album I had a few months back.  I never got to play with it and I looked at it the other day and thought it looked perfect for a "Thankful" album!  It's turning out REALLY artsy and cool and I'm taking pictures for a step-by-step for all of you if you're interested...

Better make dinner...

Check back Thursday for more info on the Kit REVEAL! 

Oh, tomorrow I have to go quite a ways away for some testing for Isabella's lazy eye.  Say a little prayer for her if you think about it, she's NOT doing to like the eye drops and the four hours of testing...

Have a GREAT evening,

Laura

What a fun sketch! The layout is adorable. The sneak is fabulous. I too can't wait for the Joyride line to come out. Too much goodness all here in one spot. Loving the Christmas Book with sheet music. I would have a hard time not tearing that apart too.

copy those pages no cutting!!! lol Beutiful kits as usual! Thank God you are going to cut back and not do a December kit helloooooo??? 2 kits? LOL! When I was little with the lazy eye they didnt really do much now they have all these excercises they can do. But mine is not horrible just sometimes when I take pictures you can see it a little. I will say a big prayer she will be fine she is so cute they will fix it..Hugs Grace
