Laitha's Designs

When I first saw Laitha's Designs, I fell in love, and have really enjoyed using her kits.  There is that grungy weathered elegance that I think is perfect for scrapbooking!

I used Bohemian Fall on this layout.  There are always outstanding add ons with each collection, and I used the beautiful damask papers and painted papers.  The template is Little Bits Vol 1, recently released by Little Bit Shoppe.

Autumn Dawn and lists challenge

I love the collections that are created by Laitha's Designs, and this one of my recent favorites: Autumn Dawn.  This LO was for one of this month's challenges at the Digichick, the Very Varied Challenge: Lists.  I used the kit, paper borders and painted cardstocks, along with Warm Autumn Wordart by PrelestnayaP Design, and Layered With Love templates Set 8 by Seatrout Scraps.  
 For this second page, I used a template by Little Bit Shoppe from the new Magic Moments Template Collaboration by Seatrout Scraps, Southern Serenity Designs, Little Bit Shoppe and Angelclaud Artroom.  From Laitha's Designs' Autumn Dawn, I used the page kit, painted cardstocks, embossed papers, accent clusters and alpha.
This is one of my favorite recent layouts, although I know it is due in part to that sweet little face.

Holiday card challenge

One of the challenges at The Digichick this month is to make a holiday card.  Since we don't celebrate any particular winter holiday, I just make a pretty winter note card.
 The sweet kit I used was Snowflakes by PrelestnayaP Design, and I used a template from Brag It Up by Little Bit Shoppe.

Thanksgiving is our biggest holiday in the year, and we usually write cards to express our thankfulness for each other.  So I made a second card for the challenge to be appropriate for Thanksgiving.
I used Autumn Silhouettes Digital Kit by Paper Garden Projects, and Drop Ins Vol 3 by Little Bit Shoppe.

Today I want to show three pages I have done with some of Seatrout Scraps kits and templates.
