Kit of the Day
Sorry I'm late guys.  It's been one of those days.  Anyway...
I'm really digging the relaxed masculine feel of Lie Fhung's Shabby Sage kit.  The papers are very soft and there's nothing shiny or bright that would take away from the beautiful simplicity.  I could see doing a layout about my dad or one of my brothers with this kit.  Also good for layouts about relaxing or, oddly enough, camping seems to come to mind for me.  The other great thing is that this kit is HUGE.  You could actually create a whole gift album right from this one kit!!  That always makes me happy.  You know me and gift albums!!!!

Layout of the Day
So I noticed something that is scaring me.  Many of the layouts that are catching my eye online and in print are rectangles!!! The 8x10 look is really appealing to me.  I love the amount of whitespace you can create and all of the interesting ways you can manipulate a rectangle.  Uh oh!!! Every album I have is square!!!!!!!!  Look at Favorite Toy from Alitfin.   I love this layout.  The colors are great and I like how she has the little bit of patterned paper peeking out as a border around the white.  The stiching and the doodles are so well placed and I just really like the feel of all that journaling up top and then the big photo at the bottom.  It looks so cool!  Special thanks to Ginger's blog RU Square for pointing me to this scrapper's gallery.

Great news...
