It is a dreary day here in Georgia - rain, rain and more cold chilly rain. It was the perfect day than to post Kat's bright and warm layout. I love her use of color swatches in the background and how she integrates these bright flashes of color with warm basics, including our burlap butterflies, clothespins and felt butterflies.

Kat shares her thoughts o her week 30 Project Life Layout

"I went heavy on the pink for this week's spread because one of the week's highlights was my best friend's baby shower.  She's having a little girl, so I used that as the perfect excuse to overload on one of my favorite colors!  The Curtsey Boutique has a lot of pink embellishments that worked really well for the look I was going for!"

Going gold for Childhood Cancer Awareness Month with Kat Benjamin

Going Gold for Childhood Cancer Awareness Month

Kat Benjamin

The whole month of September is Childhood Cancer Awareness month. Those of you who have followed my blog for a while know I lost a dear one this past March. Duncan Campbell was only 2 and passed of brain cancer. He was the son of a very close friend. All this month I've been incorporating gold in my lifestyle and crafting and I am so happy that Kat has jumped on the band wagon to support this great effort to raise awareness.

Help increase Childhood Cancer Awareness at:

Kat shares adorable favor bags that were a cinch to pull together with Curtsey Boutique embellishments.

Kat shares "I was recently pressed for time before an event and was looking for a quick way to make some cute favor bags.  These butterflies already had such beautiful details that it was easy for me to just attach them to a doily with a sentiment tag and use them to top a brown paper bag...these quick favor bags only took minutes to make and look pretty cute!

I always have a hard time when working with purple so I absolutely love Kat's layout today.  The contrast of the purple and blue on the white background is stunning and her flecks of color in enamel dotes and mists perfectly highlight the bright color and airy feel of her photographs. This one is definitely going to we a scraplift for me.
