Kill a Kit - Jan Cocoa Daisy Kit

Pretty excited to share a recap/kill a kit post of the Jan kit.  First off here it is:

January 2015 Kit "Pajama Time"

I also go the Slumber Party add on:

Slumber Party Scrapbooking Add-On


Here is what I made with it (note some of these are in other posts but doing a full recap here):

This one uses a sheet of peach card stock from my stash and a scrap of navy.  The flair is from an older cocoa daisy kit and since I was one kraft tag short I had to make - it mostly matches. 


This one is the same theme as the one above but with some interactive parts. This is about my last day at the University of Houston. 


Lift the flap and you see this. 


Kinda glad to hide those less than perfect pictures. But I really wanted to include them as they are things I want to remember.


This was made with the left overs from the Bridging to Juniors layout (below).  Love it when your scraps just fall together to make a page.




I added this bluish card stock from my stash and basically tried to use every last bit I could from the add on embellishment package.  I even used up those lovely but hard to use branding strips.





Again, I added cardstock to make this a two pager, the PL cards are from an older Day In The Life add on and the green is an piece from an older kit.




Please note, for the record - I stamped on a layout!  The stitches are so cute!  That exclusive stamp was a home run in my opinion!!  I added the cardstock again to stretch this to a two pager.




Adding more to my Scout album here - this one was fun with the buttons and the circle to fit the bridging image.  My goal was to use the ribbon.


And using up more of the scraps from the circle . . .  This pages was inspired by a spread in a Stampin Up catalog - I added the circle around the basic idea.  It still needs the journaling, but I need to think about that a little (and not have someone talking to me while I do it!).



Yet again, the feathers were just too perfect for a camp layout. This one has three sassafrass flowers on it - smile.


And finally, a favorite drill team picture from high school. It is really hard to find blue paper that works with these uniforms but the gold is certainly "on trend"!

So far the tally is 14 pages from the kit (with me adding some cardstock).

And here it is - killed.  Only one full sheet of cardstock left and then that lovely placemat - need to think more on how to use it.  The patterned buttons aren't my thing - though they are plain wood on the backside so thinking that I may try to use them like that.  The bits and pieces are set aside for a PL spread.  I think there is just enough to do one week if I add a sheet of coordinating cardstock.


I actually then used two of the three stars left over to finish off this layout that I started at scrapbook retreat but didn't have the energy to finish.  It uses up a REALLY old piece of paper which made me super happy.  



Now off to open up February and start the fun all over again!
