Wacky Tea Time by Country Liv's Graphics

I scrapped some more photos from last summer's tea party that I had given for granddaughter, Inara, with the Wacky Tea Time kit by Country Liv's Graphics. Liv's kit is so cute! There are 14 papers and 50 elements and all but 2 of the elements were hand drawn by my talented friend. Here is the kit preview:

And here are my layouts.

Above you see Inara when we first let her into the dining room. The layout below shows our tea table. She is anxious for another party but we are going to wait for cooler weather since Nonna (me) cooks all from scratch and it's much too hot for the oven to be on.

You can find Liv's kit at Digi Style Designs & ScrapBird,

Re newsletter & new items in shops

Having some problems with Mad Mimi. When I tried to share the latest newsletter on my Facebook Groups it put up last week's newsletter. So not sure what anyone on mailing list got. Have message into MadMimi support. Meanwhile, here is what I added to stores this week: Sher Scraps 4 CU Vintage Labels 1 - mostly vintage perfume labels in assorted sizes. There is both a package of 9 png files (they are CU4CU) and a printable collage sheet for those who do altered art.

Wonderland Scraps: Summer Sun - bright summer colors in a full size kit that has 12 papers and 32 elements.

And You Are Plum Perfect. I'll bet you have someone in your life you think is plum perfect. Why not scrap him or her with this kit in purples & pink? Full size, it has 12 papers and 26 elements.

Worked hard around house today so I'm off to play a game! Hugs

Take a look at very Cherry by Country Liv

Are you looking for a fun, cheerful kit? I recommend Very Cherry by Country Liv's Graphics. Just look at this preview:

You can find it at these stores: http://digistyledesigns.com/shop/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1_206&products_id=5345 [Hint, hint - it's on sale at link above] http://scrappingyourmemories.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1_315&products_id=14454 I just let her know it's not in her Scrap Bird store but I'm sure it will be soon. I had so much fun with this kit! The first paper to catch my eye was this luscious red one and I am not a fan of red usually. It truly is Very Cherry and I love cherries!

I used one of my border templates on the lovely cherry blossom pink paper and added Liv's wonderful swirled border on top of it. Photo of grand-daughter, Inara, was cut with the pretty mask Liv has included with the kit. I'm so tickled with how this page turned out. The next paper that really caught my eye was this muted plaid that goes with Liv's great "Beautiful" cluster. That cluster makes a beautiful page easy. That's Inara again on the back of her brother, Tyler. I think it's beautiful when siblings get along, don't you? You have to capture those moments because they can be rare, especially when there is a lot of age difference involved.

I couldn't help playing around some more and made 2 tags as well. This one is for Liv:

And this one is a reminder to us all:

Love that bowl, don't you?
