For my project I used the beautiful new Cut Above™ Layout Kit—Forever & Always kit. It is designed to be used as a beginner's kit with a layout and several pocket pages. I love the papers and die cuts from this kit and wanted to create my own pages using the materials from it.
Here is what the original kit looks like - beautiful and easy to complete with the directions included.
See the kit supplies here .
The two double page layouts I designed use the papers, die cuts (which I just had to punch out), and Picture My Life cards and some of the complements from this kit. I will save the large pocket pages included with it for another project. I substituted pocket plus insert pages to augment each layout.
