Valerie's Layouts using our October Kit

Today it's my turn to share a couple of layouts using our October Kit, "Last Kiss of Summer".   We still have a few kits remaining in the store.

I also want to remind you that there are 2 days remaining to enter our October Bits & Pieces giveaway.  We have also posted our October sketch challenge which will go on for the entire month.  Links to both of these posts can be found be clicking on the image in our left sidebar.

"Natural Beauty" by Valerie Serfozo

For some reason, I really like this photo of my niece, Macy. I think it's kind of a throw-back to the 60's look with the floppy hat, stringy hair, and the very natural facial expressions. Not glamorous by any means, but just very organic. 

That's why I wanted to add some green to this one. I colored the chipboard, doilies, and alphabet with a little Prima Edger Stamp Pad. I love those things! 

 

"Smiles" by Valerie Serfozo

 I loved having a little bit of blue in this kit so I could use this photo of my granddaughter and niece. I used a little bit of Distress Ink to make the blue strip of paper just the color I needed to blend with the polka-dots on the background. I used some Glimmer Mist to change the color of the darling felt flower that's in this month's add-on.
