Last Friday was a snow day...this meant no school. It had started early...when I noticed a bit of a glow through our bedroom curtains when I woke up at 3:30am and on checking outside there was a lovely layer of snow. Of course I had to get outside and photograph it and didn't stop to put any shoes on...

My friend Claire organises a scrap day at a hotel near where she lives every six weeks or so. A few of the ladies asked me to create a kit for them and so my 'Scrappy Kea Layout Kits' started! These kits have cutting guides and instructions as well as the papers, cardstock, images and embellishments needed to create the layouts - just add your own basics e.g. black ink, adhesive, trimmer and photos.

I'm not sure I'm ready to share these far and wide just yet but it is something I am considering as a possibility! Close To My Heart generally has lovely layout guides with each collection they create too - if you love double page layouts these are the way to go. My kits are single page layouts which is what I and most of the ladies I create with prefer. Layouts created with the August Stitch & Colour Kit: What leads you to buy scrapbooking kits? Wh
