The paper pack includes 12 double-sided sheets of patterned paper, a 12x12 sheet of embellishment stickers, and a 12x12 sheet with FOUR different alphabets and 12" border strips. 
The first layout I made was to document Blake's role in the school Christmas play last year. We all cracked up when we heard that he was Tom the elf and that the elf had a personality like Tom!
I had fun layering different patterns on this layout and grouping the stickers from the elements sticker sheet. With some pop dots, they became instant dimensional accents. 
I had a ton of shots of Blake and the cast and decided to make a 2-page spread with these shots. After I had the layout finished, I realized I should have added the program which includes the list of characters/actors.
I cut a slit in the upper right hand corner of the layout a little wider than the program. Then I flipped the page over and adhered a piece of kraft paper to the back of the layout to keep the program from slipping around. I also added a tab labeled with "program" to identify what is peeking out. 
The elements stickers provided me with supplies for another embellishment grouping in the lower left corner of the layout.
I added a mixed title using two different fonts from the sticker sheet and some Thickers I had. I added a bird sticker from the elements sheet and raised it up with pop dots. (I think I'm addicted to pop dots!)
Even though I printed my "live action" shots of the play in 4-up collages, I probably still had too many to include in one 2-page spread. Needless to say, this layout isn't my favorite, but it's a completed layout. 
I am getting a lot of use out of the elements stickers (big tree & snowman). I cut additional trees out of one of the patterned papers to use as the background of my grouping.
My title is a mix of stickers and letters from the patterned paper. I felt that it was really "flat" so I used Stampin' Up's Crystal Effects over the letters to add some dimension.
Blake's program photos are scrapped, but I have enough Christmas photos from years past to scrap for months! But, I may put these papers away to scrap with something new today...
To add a bit more dimension, I used my old bottle of Stampin' Up's Crystal Effects to accent my flowers, the circle in the border strip, and the dots on the doll's dress. I love this effect. I'm going to be using this little bottle a lot more!
Tom and I were taken back so I could be prepped for surgery. My mom was able to join us a little while later. The surgeon came in to draw the incision line on my neck. I was beyond nervous, but very confident that in the end everything would be ok. Some "happy drugs" were administered before I was taken into the operating room. I remember being moved to another bed and having a mask put over my face. 
Here's the first post-op photo just hours after my surgery. (I had to have a drainage tube.)
The drainage tube was removed and I was released from the hospital by 1:00 on Saturday afternoon. Feeling was starting to come back though and my neck was feeling really tight. It is very uncomfortable to swallow and talk. 
Thank you to everyone for all of your prayers and thoughts during this time. I really appreciate it!
Last night in between homework and running the boys to Scouts, we ran over for a quick visit. I wanted to see her open her presents. I think she liked the new clothes I got her. She's going to look so cute in them!
I love this kid!
I am very pleased with how this one turned out. Thanks Ali for the inspiration! 
I also scrapped Kevin's "student interest inventory" that his teacher mailed to us over the summer. We had to turn it in at Open House just before school started. I loved his answers so much that I copied it so I could scrap it. 
I still had some Bo Bunny "Block Party" supplies from Scrappin' {Sports} Stuff and had photos from a birthday party Kevin attended at a minor league baseball game paired up with them. I pulled the photos of Kevin with his foam finger. I actually wanted to call this layout "give 'em the finger" but Debbie advised against it!
I did another layout of Kevin's school work. He had to write about his summer vacation. I thought this map paper from the new Basic Grey "Wander" line worked well as a background. The page is pretty similar to the other school work page, but I wanted to keep it simple. 
Although this is a church layout, it's a little bright. I worked with brighter colors that are in the stained glass and artwork in the photos. I think we have a beautiful church.
Just last night I was able to finish up this 2-pager for Kevin's album. I made 2-up 4x6 prints of everyone who came to his First Communion. Lucky me I had another sheet of the green American Crafts cardstock that was in my kit so I make this a double page layout.
I cut some circles out of the patterned paper to soften the layout a bit. I also used the Prima tag from the kit for my title. I didn't like the "be" that was on it and the flower on it was too bright for my papers, so I covered it over with a brown Prima flower (also from the kit).
The kit also came with Stickles. I don't use them very often (mainly on Chirstmas decorations!), but I wanted to put them to use. I decided to accent the shapes in the corner of the layout and also on some of my flower centers. I also dotted the centers of the blue oval sticker strip under my photos with Stickles. 
Sigh.
And then I caught him singing that he could "Use Somebody." Like me? hahaha
Between every song, it looked like Nathan was putting an ice pack on his right shoulder. But from the sound of the music, you never would have thought anything was wrong. 
The show was great. The encore amazing. 
It was a good exit, too.
