back 40 sneaks

happy monday, can't believe this is the last week of august! my weekend was over in a blink of an eye, had a funeral on saturday which took up my entire day. I didn't mind because it was with family and it was nice to chill with my cousins and be there for my family. It is so easy to get caught up in day to day life and loose connections with extended family but a wedding or a funeral always reconnects those lost bonds. In an instant my sister and me were reminiscing over our childhood and laughing so hard our stomachs hurt!

true blood, drops mic, OMG so so good! It makes me so sad that the season is almost over but I didn't think I could love/hate Eric more! I won't talk to much about it because I don't want to spoil it but Tara is getting on my darn nerves, didn't expect Sam to be a bad boy and Jessica makes me want a BFF as a vampire! :)

okay,on to my sneaks for september's studio calico kit, the colors are so gorgeous and super easy to work with.  I purchased two add-on this month, this one was made with the fresh cut add-on. I love the blues and greens in this add-on!

This layout about Synai was made with both the main kit, back 40 and the harvest moon add-on. You may have to sit down for this one, I used a B-O-R-D-E-R  P-U-N-C-H on this layout! You may recall last year I had a great Fiskar's punch that I gave away here and I swore to never purchase one again. Well, I didn't stick with that declaration long and a few months back picked up another one by EK and I love it! I love shape punches and as you can tell by most of my layouts the circle and star punches are my most loved ones but I think this border punch is going to make it into my top 5 punches! :)

and kisses is made with the main kit, back 40. I think this is my favorite layout and I had to restrain myself from using the Jenni Bowlin butterfly on all of my layouts! :) I  IMG_7617
