Memory Works Express Kit

I have been using the MemoryWorks monthly kits for some time now and really like them.  They always include enough for several layouts using name brand scrapbook papers and fun accessories.  They also include cards and envelopes, which I think is great because I also enjoy making cards.  Lately, I have been making layouts all ready to drop photos in (mostly because I can't seem to make time to actually print pictures before I go scrapping with friends).  Here are 2 layouts that I made last weekend using the September kit, Harvest.

The above layout was super simple and only took about 2 minutes.  Most of the design is contained within the background paper.  I added only a photo mat, the gold rickrack, the measuring tape ribbon, the button and the three punched butterflies with pearls. 

This second layout only took slightly longer.  I love how one kit can create two such different pages.  When I pre-create my pages before I adding pictures, I always make sure the any embellishments that overlap are not glued down in places I want my pictures.  That way I won't have any problems adding pictures later.  Now, off to upload and print some pictures!
