Layouts using the November kit!

I have made a couple of layouts using the kit and have altered the mini album that comes with the kit.

The first layout is a fun one about my sweet Basset Hound Audrey and how she loves to stuff her mouth with stuffed "quackers" and whatever else gets in there (i.e. my husbands sock). I layered a bunch of the cool game papers with some of the pattered papers and cut one of the Beadles that I made in half so that it lays flat on the page. Those Beadles are beautiful!!!!


The next layout is one where I used the lyrics from a White Stripes song to document how we had zero trick or treater's this Halloween. I layered many different papers together and used the poker chips to the bottom of the page.


The last photo shows what I did with the mini album made from the Monopoly game board. I ran each of the pages through my sewing machine so that I was able to cut them in half to double the pages. I added extra book binding tape to cover the stitches, but any decorative tape should work if you don't have book binding tape. I attached the velvet ric rac and used a magnet behind one of the wooden bingo pieces to create a closure for the album. It fits perfectly in my purse and makes me smile when I look at it.

November Kit is up!!! Game Night Rocks!!!

Welcome to game night, the night where we all gather as a family, laugh, and enjoy a fierce game of fun. November is a fantastic month where family togetherness is important, celebrating our loved ones, and making memories that last a lifetime. I still remember the importance Trivial Pursuit had in my life, with my father being an encyclopedia of knowledge, and that one time I came REALLY close to beating him (let’s ignore that I was playing the children’s version, and I was in high school at the time, OK?)

November’s Sweet Twee Lab kit is full of really bright and retro papers from Tinkering Ink’s Retro Metro line, Sassafras Lass’ Happy Place line, and Kaiser’s Superhero line. The adorable chipboard mushrooms, hedgehogs, and other woodland creatures bring a smile to my face. They are REALLY too cute! Tinkering Ink has these awesome Beadles that make the coolest beads! You just twist them up and use UTEE or Glossy Accents to make super chic beads cool enough to wear. Oh, and the kit is stuffed with game related vintage treasures too. Some of my favorites include the Funny Bones oversized playing card, the gorgeous illustrations (think Alice in Wonderland) from a book published in the 1860’s, and the pictogram from an old Concentration game. I found this adorable mod birdie fabric and can’t wait to use it! Each kit also includes a handmade mini album that I made from a Monopoly game board.


The kit is for sale in the Etsy shop (http://sweettweelab.etsy.com) and the cost is $28 with $7 USPS Priority Mail shipping in the US, $8 shipping to Canada, and $15 shipping everywhere else. Florida residents pay 6% tax.

I am whipping out some great layouts using this kit and will post them over the next week or so, so come back and see what you can do with this kit!
