ScrapShotz Reveal

Because I was away for the ScrapShotz March kit reveal, I was asked to showcase another product line, Basic Grey Konnichiwa.  I have a confession to make.....when I first found out what product line I was getting, I was quite apprehensive.  It was NOT a line I would have bought for myself. I thought it was too pink and too "Japanese-themed" for me.  BUT, I kept an open mind and when I started working with it, I had no problems at all.  In fact after 11 projects (5 layouts and 6 cards) I had to STOP! I could have done more, but I need to save my scrappy mojo for the next kit.

So here are my 5 layouts that I did.  I won't post my cards in case one of you lucky readers are a recipient.....LOL!

Best Buds - 2012

Here we all are in Florida a few weeks ago visiting our friends (C&A) that live there with our other friends (B&Y) that live in Virginia.

Turning Four - 1959

My younger sister's 4th birthday party in France. She is in yellow and I am in bright blue. Note: the little boy in the striped shirt is the first boy I ever kissed.  I am still friends with the little girl in the grey sweater set.

Japanese Tammys - 2012

The little Japanese girl die-cut in this line reminded me of a Japanese doll. So I took photos of my Japanese Tammy dolls to use in a layout.  The Japanese Tammy dolls are very hard to obtain (since they were only available in Japan during the early 1960s) and are highly coveted by the Tammy collectors.  I only have the 3 shown (plus one other, not shown).

Krustyland - 2012

The Simpsons Ride in Universal Studios, only a few weeks ago.  It was lots of fun!

Finally on the Ship - 2011

This is me, having my first drink aboard our cruise ship.  We finally got on board after missing the boat for three days.....
