A Bit Spirited

I'm beginning to realize that June is over, and July is here, and all of a sudden it will be August, and then September. That's just way too soon, but I'm getting ahead of myself. I've been few and far between lately because I've been a part of some fantastic things this month! I have gone to see my godkids, my mom, my "cousin" who left for the air force, and a few nearby friends, and then to my mom's wedding reception, Valleyfair, and lots of time at work. It has been really gratifying to see everyone, though not so great on the wallet, but it's really, really been all worth it. I'm thrilled to be back home and resting though.

On to the task at hand, I worked with a new kit from This Little Missy called "Americana." Obviously, this is the season for a bit of patriotism, but Carissa hit it out of the park with this kit because it's perfect for your 4th pictures and beyond. I know this would be great for a lot of concerts (especially country), plus your everyday photos, tributes to military personnel, or even some couple-y photos as well. But don't take my word for it, have a look.....

I love that she threw in the gorgeous tan, and the light blue. It keeps it really playful, and light, and makes it great for boy photos especially. I on the other hand, have a very "spirited" goddaughter whom I chose to scrap, as well as a bit of "4th" fun...

The alpha that came with this kit, shown in the Liberty layout, is amazing, and super easy to work with actually. I was worried it was going to be too "perfect" (straight lines and all), but it looks really good a little tipped, and really good all lined up and even!

So that's my story, and I'm stickin' to it. But that's definitely not all. I have a freebie for you as well! From the first layout, I am giving away the frame cluster. It doesn't include the titling, but the splatter, tag, frames, elements, etc. are all there for you clustered and flattened into a .png image. So head to 4shared to pick up that, then to Carissa's blog for This Little Missy to score some more fantastic freebies, and afterwards, head to the Store at STS to pick up "Americana!"
