Layouts using the Boy June Kit from Annette

The lizard on this layout is a picture of a wooden cutout at the playground we were at. Totally cute!

Added stickles to the paper and did some fussy cutting. :-) The pompom fringe added a great dimension to the paper and layout!

I added a couple of extras from my stash with this one. Really... the colors match wonderfully with my existing stash. It's AWESOME!

The blue circle alpha stickers were PERFECT for the page on our trip to the blueberry farm!

I really LOVED the way the kit came together this month! The colors were great and the embellishments really were fantastic!

Thanks for looking at my pages. I hope you all enjoyed them! Now go hurry and get your own TOP SHELF MEMORIES KIT!!!! They'll be gone before you know it!

I finally had the chance to scrapbook this past weekend!  I rented out my own scrapbook retreat house (The Hamburg Hideaway) with some friends, and used ALL Top Shelf Memories kits!

i used lots of pop dots! for the flowers and the journaling spot.

i stitched the center of the butterfly, and tied it tightly in the back to lift the wings up!

First glance inspiration - Fancy Pants My Family

At first glance there were three things that really grabbed my attention when I opened this fabulous boy kit ~ Fancy Pants My Family.

• The warm homey rustic colors in the papers
• The fantastic journal sheets from Fancy Pants
• A sheet of paper from My Family FP line, Cards

The strip you see missing from that sheet of paper above is what struck my creative energy. My photos do not do these fabulous products justice, but I had to give you a nice close up of the goodies that I've been playing with. ;)  I even created a sketch this month... I don't do that very often, so you know the creative juices were flowing. You know Lindsey Krauss creates fantastic sketches, so this isn't the official sketch, but one I came up with for my first layout.

I absolutely LOVE the size of the journal sheets. Their big enough to house a 4x6 photo and still leave room for journaling... or you could actually just use them for telling your story. So much diversity with these, you can't go wrong. The itty bitty squares with the words family, joy, love, etc... *swoon* they would even be great for card making.

Look for the kits to be released June 15th in the store. Taryn put some wonderful products together this month, and I can't wait for you to get your hands on them! Keep checking back for more inspiration from your Design Team here at Top Shelf Memories!
