March Sneak Peek #4

Since February is a short month, I'm posting an extra sneak peek early today to whet your appetite for the full reveal later today on the website at www.scrap-room.com.

Today's sneak peek will showcase one side of our March Doubleshot Kit, which features Basic Grey's Sugar Rush line. I thought I could resist this line until I saw it in person - way cute!

You'll have a lot of different embellishment choices in this kit, and you can see just a couple of them here. :)

March Sneak Peek #3

It's another party day on the blog today as we count down the days until the brand new March kits are revealed on the 28th. Are you getting excited to get your hands on all of this brand new scrappin' goodness?

Today's sneak peek features a layout created by barista, Christine Dunker, using the Cosmo Cricket Material Girl layout kit and some treats from the March Embellishment kit. I love all of the pretty layered patterned papers, but my favorite part of the layout is the cute stitched journaling lines that are attached to a chipboard spool wrapped with the same matching thread! The Maya Road mini sewing-themed chipboard is brand new and is the perfect complement to this paper line. You're going to love it!

March Sneak Peek #2

March Sneak Peek Week continues with another beautiful layout by barista, Lan Amphone. Today's layout features the brand spankin' new Jillibean Soup Old World Cabbage Stew paper line and some fun new embellishments.

Notice the layered flower on Lan's layout - the two polka dot layers are Jillibean Soup's new canvas flowers, and everybody's getting some of these this month! This layout kit will also feature two cool new BIG OL' Buttons, which are so new to us that our baristas didn't get them in time for their sneak peeks!

And finally, as an extra bonus, if you pay close attention to the "No 5" element on Lan's banner, you'll have a wee hint about what the March Stamp Set might have to offer. :)

March Sneak Peek #1

Sneak Peek Week begins today. We'll be counting down the days until the March kits are released with fun and inspiring sneak peeks every day until the new website updates on the 28th.

Kicking off our March Sneak Peek Week is a layout by barista, Jenny Moore. Her layout features papers and embellishments from Basic Grey's "Origins" line. The colors in this line are a perfect fit for March. The greens pay homage to St. Patrick's Day, and that color combo of black/brown/green/yellow - great for outdoor and nature photos anytime of year!
