Hi, all! It’s Beth here and I have a crafty goal this year to use up one old card kit each month. I love the FOTM kits and have been hoarding them for the last several years. I decided this is the year I want to get them out, enjoy them and make pretty things. Plus, I need to make room for new kits!!!

The kit I chose to use in May was the August 2018 kit with the theme For the Love of Pets. In the kit there were 2 dog themed collections and 2 cat themed collections. To see more of the details of each of these projects as well as links to products used, you can watch the video HERE.

I started with collections 1 and 2 (Dog Tails by Echo Park and Rainbow Dots and Stripes by Sunny Studio). I combined the papers, embellishments, stamps and journal cards from these two collections to make this cute dog themed mini album.

Next, I combined papers, ephemera, stamps and embellishments from collections 3 and 4 (Smitten Kitten by Doodlebug Designs and Dots and Stripes by Echo Park) to make this cute little kitty themed mini album.


With the scraps I had left, I made a decorative note pad holder for a 3 inch post it note pad and some cards.
I hope you got some inspiration and ideas on how to use up some of your older FOTM kits (surely I’m not the only one who has been hoarding them???)! Have a crafty day!
