Fresh Baked at Brownie Scraps!

Happy Tuesday! How are things in your neck of the woods? Today we have blue skies and temps in the 70's, a perfect summer day! So it is so fitting that I have these two new kits to show you, each with a different take on summer living!

First, with a nod to the upcoming Fourth of July holiday, is Freedom from Scraps by Mara:


I decided to use it to scrap this photo I took last spring on another lovely day:


Ohana Designs has released this pretty kit called Green Thumb:


I scrapped two pages with this kit, one layout with a sort of a gardening theme, and one just pretty:




July is just around the corner...see you then!

Down by the Sea

Ah, summertime, and the livin' is easy. What better way to scrap those beachy photos than with this new kit from Dylabel Designs called Down by The Sea:


The classic blues and reds are perfect for any sort of page, and don't you love those little sea creatures? You can grab this kit HERE at Scappity Doo Dah. Here's a fun summer layout I did with this kit:

By the way, that fun alpha comes with the kit, but if you want, it can also be purchased separately!

Layer Upon Layer!

Who doesn't love templates? And who wouldn't love to pick up this amazing template grab bag put together by Val of geniaBeana Scraps and Melissa of Cluster Queen Creations (who doesn't go by that name for nothing!)?! The grab bag contains four packs of four templates each for a total of 16 templates, with various levels of layering, clustering, number of photos, and journaling spots. You can pick it up HERE at ScrapMatters!


I made it a point to do some layouts using one template from each of the four packs. Here's what I came up with!

Kit: Oh Boy!, a collab kit from geniaBeana Scraps and Nikki Epperson Designs (this layout won a Gallery Stand Out at ScrapMatters :)):


Kit: Wild About You by geniaBeana Scraps:


Kit: Boho Chic by geniaBeana Scraps:


Kit: Spring Sunset by geniaBeana Scraps (and this page won Layout of the WEEK at Brownie Scraps!):


Fun, huh? You can check out the full images of the template packs when you stop at the ScrapMatters shop. Happy scrapping!

Owl-themed kits are a perennial favorite in the digi scrap world, and here is an adorable contribution from Scraps by Mara called Owl Always Love You:


I went wild and crazy with this kit, which you can pick up HERE:


In our part of the country, June is strawberry season, so this cute little kit from Ohana Designs called Berry Much was very timely:


It didn't matter that I didn't have any strawberry themed photos to scrap:
