Artful Delight November Sketch, kit, and first DT post!

YAY for November - time to start getting ready for Thanksgiving and Christmas and hot chocolate and apple cider. The weather has only recently turned chilly here in San Francisco and I am thrilled to start baking and roasting more.

You see, when you live in a 450 Sq. Ft. place, and you roast something on a hot day - it turns out you are roasting yourselves! So on cold days I like to bake or roast as an eco-friendly way to heat up the house and get us fed! :)

Anywho, I did this LO right after we got back from London and Paris, so that romantic trip was on my mind. Here is what I did with one such memory:

This is my first post as a member of the Artful Delight Design Team and I am SO excited to show you this AWESOME kit that Leeanne and senior DT member Jamie have put together! 

Let's see... how many lay-outs have you seen me do.... EEK! I was so nervous about this, but I am pretty happy with the way it turned out! Thanks to fellow DT member Debbie who created the sketch! Good goin', girl! 

I moved the elements around, but they are all in there. :)

Here is the Sketch:

Here is my take on it:

Recipe:
Cricut Cartridge: Storybook™ (background for picture and swirly thing at the bottom)
Everything else came from the November Kit

My opinion on the kit:
Okay, seriously... who includes both Stickles and Tattered Angels as bonus items in a kit?!? I just LOVE that. She hit all the major elements. 

I couldn't believe how much stuff just kept coming out of my box. It was really incredible. I have supplies for months! 

These patterns are sweet and whimsical and incredibly romantic. I loved them. 

The flocked transparencies are SO cool. I will be using them very soon... In fact... one of them made it onto my spiderweb card I did a few days ago... :)

There are rub-ons, thickers, alpha sets, stickers, glittered transparencies, prima flowers, ribbon, twine, chipboard, and so so much more. I was in embellishment overload and therefore embellishment heaven!

One disclaimer: She meant to throw in some solids, but filled the spot with embellishments. Next month you can guess there will be solids. :) 

I have never seen a kit like this and am SO thrilled to be on the DT sharing such a great product that Leeanne has put together.
