Hi All! Leah here, from snowy Manitoba, bringing you the Layout of the Week!

So hard to choose just one - there are too many talented scrappers out there - so I'm bringing you two!

The first one is from kaleandkiara...
I love the layered paper strips and her use of white space!

And my next choice is from Sugar&Spice...
I love the background and how the design just makes that photo POP!

Well folks, we're getting a whole heap-load of SNOW here, so I'm off to shovel. Until next time...

~*Leah*~

The team had a great time putting some pages together. Our first is from Janel, I love the flowers in her layout...

Here is a fun one from Cristina, I love how she used the papers and the stitches...

Next we have one from Brenda! I love all the white space and the frames are my favorite...

Do they realize what they have done?

JanelScraps@gmail.com (Janel) — Sun, 12 Oct 2008 21:35:00 +0000

LOL, Hi everyone this is Janel, CT member for the amazing Polka Dot Plum team of Amy and Lauren. I am not sure that they know what could happen when they gave me access to their blog! (insert evil giggle here!)

One of the first kits I was able to work with after joining the CT was "Her First Kiss". Isn't it beautiful??

Available at Scrap Orchard and Sunshine Studio Scraps

I made some beautiful layouts of my grandparents that I have printed and framed. I figured I could turn them into quick pages and give them to you!

(click on the image to download)

Since I have been a fan of Polka Dot Plum for a while, I wanted to show off one of my favorite kits, Que Sera, Sera! I adore the colors and distressed papers in this kit.

Available at Sunshine Studio Scraps and Scrap Orchard

And while I was admiring this kit again, I was inspired to make some brag book pages for you!

shhhhh.......if nobody tells them I was here giving away freebies, then maybe I can come back and do it again!!!!

I can not only tell you, but I can show you a preview of one of the items from The Polka Dot Plum duo. These gorgous painted leaves will look great on any fall layout, now I don't have a preview but I can tell you that there will also be two lable sets from these fine and wonderful ladies.
