February 2025 - Mini Kit and Project Reveal

Welcome back to the blog. Today is the day we share mini kits with you. If you are short on time, or if you have a specific project in mind, a mini kit can have you covered. Two of the team, Vikki and Tina, are here to show off how they go mini.

As a reminder here is the inspiration We are working with this month.

I'll let the other ladies take it away now.

It's great to be on the Mini kit crew this month. With my vacation this month for about 10 days I knew I wouldn't be scraping like I'm use to. A fun kit to counterfeit this month too. I went to 2 paper pads for most of my kit.

Love the pop of yellow and blue on a very neutral based kit. Reminds me of the outdoors, museums and buildings. I have pulled enough that if I want to scrap throughout the days available to me to scrap I can. For my project I decided on going back to my 2023 photos and scrap the day I went to the local Museum

My town has some wonderful history and it's always fun to check out the Museum for any new exhibits and this time did not disappoint with this cool exhibit of our old Canal system. Here's some close ups of the layout and journaling

I enjoyed using the neutral background for my photos and bringing in the colors for my accents.

This month I opted for what I consider a super mini kit.  I was drawn to the masculine colors of the inspiration kit and knew I had the perfect photos to go with the color choices.  I've been scrapping photos of my great niece a lot, so the "boyish" colors were a welcomed change this month.  I wasn't yet sure which color alphas I wanted to use, so decided to add those as I completed layouts.

I completed two projects so far with this month's mini kit.

I knew I wanted to use a photo from a concert I went to last year with this kit.  The paper depicting items from the 80s was a perfect pairing.  I added the guitar sticker to the kit with this photo in mind and love how the blue guitar stands out on the page.  I added a couple of background papers under the photo, in addition to a polaroid frame and filmstrip.

For my second layout, I used a piece of the burlap as a background for the photos of my dad and step-mom.  I popped up some stickers using foam dots.  For the tag, I used a piece of the burlap for the string.  It's a simple layout, but it documents what they love to do, and that's something I want to remember for years to come.

We have barely gotten started with our project inspiration. There is still plenty more to come. Here is what is next on the agenda.
