November's Kit!...

"It is all about exploring the different Alphabet's and fonts, and what a great jumble of alpha's you have to choose from within this kit. Before I started creating with this kit (and all the others as well) I always download the GoGo Bespoke Hybrid Elements so I have these to hand whilst working on my layouts. On "Monster Day Out" I used a combination of the Sassafras Alpha, the random Scrabble Tiles and the Hybrid Alpha. I love the mix of all the different fonts together and although the Scrabble Tiles are a random mix of letters you can always find a way to use them within your designs, and of course the great thing about the Hybrid Alphabet is that it is never going to run out! What a bonus, I cannot wait to see all your designs working with the mix of alphabets this month..."

There are some ranges that you just fall in love with, you can't quite put your finger on 'why' but you just know that it is going to be great to work with and have stunning results; Sassafras came up trumps with ones of those ranges when they released "Monstrosity".

One of the first papers we selected as a must have was the 'Framed' patterned paper, we knew just by looking at it that our Design Team would have great fun cutting this one up!

We just adore what Laura has made with the Mini Kit for November, this kit will be on sale on the 1st November - 'Grab It Day'...

 

"I adore the Cosmo Cricket boyfriend range, especially the randomness contained within the elements sheet. I wanted to embrace the rather odd nature of these elements and this quote from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory seemed quite perfect.

I gutted the cardstock...

 

 

 From the middle I cut a circle using a dinner plate as a guide...

I have been having great fun playing with November's fabulous and exclusive GoGo Stamp designed by our very own SJ Dowsett.

The stamp is a cute set of 'borders' that compliment the Create Kit perfectly ...

Of course stamping a border is the obvious use of these but why not GoGo Make An Impression by getting imaginative and creating a cute journal spot with the 'curly bracket' style stamp or a wavy border by bending the stamp onto your acrylic block before stamping ??

"October Academy Module is a fun way to look at the little things that make up our personality, and our life. It's a way of making your pages "conversation starters" when someone looks through your Academy folder.
