Cards from a Level 1 kit

I saw this on the Close To My Heart consultants bulletin board and I thought I'd give it a try. I have had a level one kit hanging around for months... I bought it back in May at the CTMH Warehouse sale at the Women's Expo and have since decided that its not quite going to work for me. I'm just not much of a level 1 user for my scrapbook pages. Besides... the Stickease that came with it weren't great... all borders, frames and tags... no alphabet, no little icons.

Anyway, here's what I came up with this afternoon/evening...

All 11 Cards

Close ups: 8x3 and two 4x5.5

Close up: four 4x4s

Close up: 5x7 and two 4x5.5

These cards all used pieces of the pre-printed layouts and the "My Stickease" cardstock stickers that came with the kit. I added brads and papers flowers to some of them and stamped the sentiments. The ribbon is not CTMH... just something I had in my stash and didn't already have a purpose in life. I'm not crazy about all of them, but I did start to like them better when I remembered Tresa Black's advice on using stickers and started altering them and inking them as I felt necessary.

There is not template, so if you want to give it a try make up some card bases and start figuring out what parts of your pre-printed layouts you like best for each card. You should have plenty of paper... I only used 3 out of the 4 layouts on mine. Happy scrapping!
