The Back to Basics Quirky Kit Blog Hop (and chance to win)

Hello, hello and welcome to my spot in the Quirky Kits Blog Hop!

Scrap365 has joined forces with the fabulous Quirky Kit girls to show you how inspirational, exciting and economical subscribing to a kit can be 

Quirky Kits have a choice of three kits - Main, Lite and Embellishment; all of which are delivered bi-monthly and Leonora and her team have kindly given us the beautiful 'It's My Party' Main Kit to give away as a prize!

The DT have all been playing with one or more of the current Quirky Kits to show you just how versatile they are; and how they suit any style of scrapping. Let's get started...

The Blog Hop with more hop than most, I'm calling it, because between receiving a beautiful Quirky boxful of supplies and pulling together a page ....I happened to fracture a bone in my foot. Manageable, you might say, and yes, yes, you'd be absolutely right, except except that I usually do my scrapbooking several flights of stairs up. On the fourth floor. That's quite a way! That Quirky Kit was calling me, though. I've been a fan of the Quirky selections since I made some pages for a spot a while back.

So armed with the Scrap365 sketch we had been given I challenged myself to stay away from all my extra supplies and usual sources of inspiration upstairs. After all, that's the point of a kit, right? Leo put it together so that I didn't need anything else, apart from a little length of twine and a photo to illustrate what I'd been doing in that week I had to keep my foot up.

The sketch showed an 8.5x11 design, and that's how I started; but when I pulled all the lovely papers out of the bag they arrived in, I looked at that fresh white carrier bag and thought..it's so nice I have to use it. It says Quirky Kits on it and so it adds to the story of what I did in this week. The paper bag became my background. I scrapbooked on the packaging...

After all, I did want to do something quirky!  It's 12x12 size, it fits perfectly into a page protector, and I hope it shows just what good value one of Leo's kits can be.

Now you've seen what I did with my kit, please hop on and check out what the other girls have been up to.  Up next is Eila at Dollops of Scraps, but you can find everyone else here:
