No one knows how to make a scrapbook kit look good quite like Valerie O’Neall. So we’re lucky that she’s on the LBD Kit Club design team, aren’t we? Check out this months’ featured layout from Valerie O’Neall, the No. One 12×12 Layout:

I adore Valerie’s use of the chevron in various sizes, patterns and colors to create the central circle pattern for this layout. The addition of snowflakes cut out of vintage book pages break up the pattern and add a little something extra to the finished page. I love the multiple photos that tell the story and the way Valerie titled the page and mimicked her placement of the photos inside a circle at the same time with the “ONE” card.

Check out the full effect! And check out more from Valerie here in the archives, on the LBD Kit Club Facebook page or on Valerie’s own blog…there’s tons more of Valerie than you get to see here.

Today’s featured 12×12 layout is by Stephanie Bryan. It’s called When I Close My Eyes. This scrapbook layout needed to be featured because it is a fantastic example of using white on white (it can pack quite a punch) as well as using your own personal touches on your scrapbooking projects to create a solid basis for the project (we adore her use of her own handwriting in the background matte). Check it out…and don’t forget to study the closeups, too!

Stephanie’s When I Close My Eyes 12×12 Layout:

Also make sure to check out: the use of the button as the “o” in the title, the way she left the sides of the chevrons loose with the middle stitched to add dimension, the complimentary photos overlapping, the Maggie Holmes clothespin (for decorative purposes only), the tiny bit of paint splatter to break up the white.

It’s always a Happy Day when we see a new project from Stephanie. I love how clean and gorgeous her projects are. Look for more on the LBD Facebook photos page or in the archives here on the LBD Kit Club blog.

I love a good fashionista. And I love a good scrapbook layout celebrating the diva side of a fellow scrapper. Today we’re inviting Jamie to take a bow because not only are her scrapbooking projects and layouts amazing, but this particular 12×12 layout is proof that she’s got some amazing fashionista tendencies to boot! Love it.

The Fashion 12×12 Layout by Jamie Leija:

Fashion love aside…what do we love about this stylish layout?

The way she glitzed up the page and the embellishments with the glitter and paint (on the alphas and on the background scrapbook paper).

The border created with various paper bits and trims and how they don’t all match up and create an even line around the edging.

The awesome photo layout/printing with white text on the top left. Fabulous!

Watch for more Jamie coming soon!

UR invited to Game Night! We love a good party. We love to be invited to a good party even more. And what’s even better than being invite to a good party? It’s receiving a fabulous invitation to a good party! I, for one, would adore getting this particular invite in the mail (or hand delivered, of course). Check out the CLOSEUP of the Game Night Invite by Brittany McLeod. Next time you have a party to throw…make sure it’s a good one. And when it’s time to consider the invites…take a page (or a scrapbook paper or two) from Brittany’s book…er…drawer. These definitely turned out AMAZING!

Hello BEAUTIFUL! Yes, you! We think you’re completely beautiful. We should make a scrapbook page about you. Sit still. We’ll activate your webcam and get some quick shots. Hope you’re all dolled up for the day. Got it. I’ll post your Hello, beautiful scrapbook layout soon. It’s going to be fabulous…although…maybe not nearly as fabulous as the inspiration used for the entire debacle…the Hello Beautiful 12×12 Layout by Stephanie using the April 2013 scrapbook kit from the Little Black Dress Kit Club.

Check it out!

I love, LoVe, LOVE the way she backed the central elements with paint sprayed on the white background scrapbook paper. I also love the stitched design she created with the shades of pink around the photo. I also love the way she used to strips of colorful, patterned paper (at the top and under the photo) against the solid colored scrapbook papers. It’s a great contrast.
