I love working with scrapbooking kits! One of the biggest reasons I enjoy kits is that all of the guesswork has been done for me. The scrapbook products are picked out and coordinate so nicely together, so it saves me the time of digging around for pattern papers, cardstock, alphas, and embellishments. And by limiting myself to what’s in the kit, I take away that feeling that “I can find something that will work better,” and just learn to go with what’s in front of me.
It’s All in the Details Scrapbook Kit
For this layout, I used the It’s All in the Details scrapbook kit featured on page 85 of the September/October 2012 issue of Creating Keepsakes magazine (both the kit and the issue are available for purchase from the Creating Keepsakes online store).
It's All in the Details scrapbooking kit from Creating Keepsakes magazine
This kit is packed with inspiring products from American Crafts, Bazzill Basics Paper, Crate Paper, Studio Calico and more. It comes complete with color instructions to create two 12″ x 12″ layouts, but for this blog article I created an alternate layout using the same materials.
CKC St. Louis by Laura Vegas.
I started with the two sheets of patterned paper from Crate Paper that had journaling blocks and tags on them. I simply began cutting all of the pieces apart from each sheet, and then picked out an assortment that I thought would work together on my page.
A few of the ones that I choose to use had a travel theme to them, so I thought I would scrap a few photos from trips that I have taken to teach at CKC events in the last year.
I arranged my photos, journaling blocks, and tags on the page in a fun collage, and then filled in the empty spaces with some of the smaller tags from American Crafts and the Crate Paper chipboard accents. I also layered lots of the embellishments onto the tags and journaling blocks.
I love how all of the different elements that came in the It’s All in the Details kit pulled together so nicely to make this layout. I highly recommend this kit to any scrapbooker—you’ll definitely enjoy it! Oh, and by the way, Creating Keepsakes has quite a few other scrapbooking kits available in the online store. (I know, enabler alert, right?)

There are so many beautiful kits to choose from, but since I have a couple of boys, I would have to choose the “My Boy Mini Album & Layout Kit”. I also really liked the “Our Many Adventures Mini Album Kit” because we have a lot of travel photos. Thanks for the opportunity to win this amazing layout kit.
Ha! Choose one? It wasn’t easy but I chose 13 All Occasions Card Kit because it contains items from some of my favorite brands!
The “Just for the Record” kit looks great!
I think I would have to say the My Boy mini album and layout kit. Looks fun! Thanks for the giveaway!

I like the kit you used, It’s All in the Details, but In Full Bloom looks good, too!!
I love using kits! I like the kit you used, but I was discouraged to buy it because it says you can make 2 layouts. I would love ideas for more than 1 layout with a kit.
The Our Many Adventures Mini Book would be perfect to scrap the many mini trips we took this summer. Although, the Material Girl uses my favorite brand, Basic Grey!
I love kits so much. My fave on the CK site is Ten Timeless Layouts scrapbook kit. Thanks for the chance to win!
My favorite kit is the quick cards kit. What lovely birthday cards they would make!
I like the My Boy mini album and layout kit. I love the coordination of kits yet you can still be creative and make your own layouts. Thanks for sharing.
I really like the Just for the Record kit. Of course, the It’s All in the Details kit is pretty awesome, too!
There are too many to choose! I love the “My Boy Mini Album & Layout”. My son is off to college now and would love to do an album about him.
I would have to say the “Our Many Adventures” Mini Album kit. I’ve been thinking for a while it would be nice to do a mini album of some of the things my husband and I have been doing since “empty nest syndrome” kicked in! Thanks for a chance to win!

I love your layout Laura. You are amazing! I would love “For the Record.” Take care.
