Lovin' the Level 1s!

Close To My Heart's Level 1 Scrapbooking Kits are one of my very favorite scrapbooking products out there!
What are Level 1 kits? They are an incredibly versatile product that can be used by all types of scrapbookers from beginners to experienced. They embody CTMH's 'Faster. Simpler. Easier' philosophy of scrapbooking while still keeping the resulting product beautiful and stylish. The kit comes with 4 pre-printed layout papers each of which has been taken from a pattern in our how-to book Reflections. There are two Background and Texture papers (B&T) and 2 pieces of cardstock and also two sheets of MyStickease stickers - one alphabet sheet and one decorative sheet.
On the back of the sticker sheets, there are pictures of layouts made using the kit. On the back of each pre-printed page there is a notation indicating the page of Reflections on which the pattern for that page can be found. You can look up the page in the book and get more ideas for photo placement and embellishment options.

Faster? far and away!
Simpler? yup!
Easier? so, so much!

Beginner and time-pressed scrapbookers rejoice: you just created a layout in under 15 minutes!! Struggling for ideas? This is for you! Have 4 kids and individual albums to do for each? Here's your solution!
That's great, you say, but I'm an advanced scrapbooker. I like to do my own thing.
Awesome! These are still for you. They provide a fantastic template as a jumping off point for any and all kinds of artistic manipulation you can imagine. I make mini-albums with these. I know people who use them to make cards, cover memory boxes, make gift items...so many possibilities!
Here is a recent layout that I did using the Tinkerin' Level 1 kit:

I added some journaling on one of the MyStickease tags that came with the kit, stamped on some of the circles from our Dimensional Elements On Target, and finished off with a sweet quote and some flowers.

Faster. Simpler. Easier. Love it!!
