Basic Grey POTM September Kit

This was my first month facilitating the Basic Grey Page of the Month class at my LSS. The owner who usually teaches the class is unable to teach it for the next few months and so in order to help alleviate some of the burden on the remaining owners, I volunteered to facilitate the class. I say facilitate because the kit comes with a two-page and a one page layout designed and with instructions. I just have to FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS (a very difficult concept for me. Truly!)

Anyway, here are the two pages that were designed and in the kit.  I felt the bright colors called for Disney Photos, but as you can see, some of the embellishments don't quite fit my pictures, but that's ok. I think it's funny and makes me like the pages even more. LOL!

This last page was actually an extra page that I designed to use up as much of the left over paper as I could. I still had plenty of embellishments and paper left to make another layout or several cards. They usually don't skimp on the POTM kits.

Basic Grey November Page of the Month

This month found me facilitating the Basic Grey page of the month class again and I was pleasantly surprised with the bright, fun paper.  I'm still struggling with following the directions and not just doing my own thing, and I don't like drawing the sewing on. I much prefer actually sewing, therefore, on some of the pages I forego the drawn stitching and am waiting until I get the pages back to actually sew on them. Other than that, I've been enjoying my time doing the class layouts according to directions and then doing my own thing on extra pages or cards with the leftover papers and embellishments from the kit.  I have limited myself to using ONLY things in the kit, so on the extras, although I have wanted to add some of my own stash I have refrained and only used leftover scraps from the kits.
As usual, the kits come with one two-page layout (seen above) and one single page layout (seen below.)

 This is my extra page made from the scraps from the kit.  I used Sketch Savvy Sketch #155.

 And here are two cards I made this month from scraps.  I still had enough scraps to make another page or a couple more cards.
