Big Drool Award (of the Month!)

OMG!  Squeal!  This is one of those kits that induces fits of running around giggling for joy!  Whoot! 

I mean, how can you NOT love Halloween, and how can you NOT adore Mary Fran?  Put the two together and you get, well, can I be frank?  Magic!  Love, love, love all the Mary Fran-ish monsters here.  There's a mummy, a skeleton, a ghost, a witch and, natch, Frank himself.  There's also a pumpkin, bat and candy bits, yummy paper, ribbons and buttons to match.  Go get it!  And the Lil Bits accessory pack is a must-have, too.  Love the star with the super realistic purple ribbon.

As it happens, Mary Fran is having a big sale Friday and Saturday -- over 30% off everything in her store.  So grab this while it's discounted!

Here's the store page for Can I Be Frank

And the one for the Lil Bits.

By the way, she also has a new Fall kit up, and it's super, too!

Knockout Layout (of the Month!)

This layout was featured on Gina's blog (Weeds and Wildflowers) and I agree with Gina -- it's worthy of special mention!  This is obviously an old and well-loved photo and it extracted perfectly to form the basis of this fantasy layout.  (How come I can never "see" that in my old photos!)  The wings and elements have a home-made, shabby air, and I really love the strong brown used throughout this layout with just splashes of color.  What probably makes the layout, though, is the writing, which gives the entirety a "diary" appeal, sweet and simple and very intimate. 

Here's the gallery page with credits.  While you're there take a look at her other layouts, too!
