Here are pages 21 and 22. This is the last two page layout in the July 2011 Just Dandy  Club Scrap kit. I was able to get 22 layouts out of this kit. Let's take a look at the pictures below. Here is the first page of the two page layout.  This layout has several strips of scraps that I had left from this kit. I had absolutely nothing left of this kit. I have a border at the left of the page and it is double matted. The bottom mat is cut at 1 1/4" x 11" and the top mat is cut at 1" x 11". I cut 1" squares and put down  the center of  the border. I put sequins in the center of each square. The squares are popped up on foam dimensionals. I have three strips that are double matted. They are all the same size. The bottom mats are cut at 1" x 5 1/4" and the top mats are cut at 3/4" x 5".  I cut a oval using my Cricut. I cut the oval at 3 1/4". I stapled a brown twine at the top.

Here are pages 19 and 20. I again used a lot of scraps for these layouts. Let's look at the pictures below for more detail. Here is page one of the two page layout.

I have a scrap of the dandelion paper cut at 3 1/2" x 5".  I used my dandelion stamp and stamped the right corner of the layout and I used the phrase stamp to stamp over the dandelion. Here is the photo mat that is cut at 3 3/4" x 5 1/4" and I wrapped some  lime green twine around the photo mat and tied a bow. Here is the second page of this two page layout. Let's look below at the pictures for more detail. I stamped the dandelion and phrase to the left of the p

Here are pages 17 and 18. I double matted two different strip at the top and bottom of the pages. I cut them in such a way that when the two pages are brought together the strips meet and match up . I used scraps because at this point that is all I have left in the kit is scraps. Let's take a look below at the pictures. Here is the first page of the two page layout. I have a strip of patterned paper to the left of the page and it is cut at 3 1/2" x 11". I used a scrap from another layout that I laid here and cut off the excess  and added to the second page. It is cut at 4 1/2" x 1 1/2". I cut a large dandelion out of a circle using a stencil. I used a foam stamp on the dandelion and the circle in the center. I took my Cuttlebug mesh embossing folder and I heated the foam stamp and pressed it into the embossing folder and then I inked it and stamped it onto my dandelion.  I used Fiskars Friends Forever Quotes  in the center of the circle

Here are pages 15 and 16 of the July 2011 Just Dandy Club Scrap kit. Let's look at the pictures below. Here is the first page of the two page layout.

The bottom mat is kraft cardstock and it is cut at 3 1/4"" x 11". The patterned strip is cut at 3" x 11". I have another double matted strip in between the photo mats.

Here are pages 13 and 14 of the July 2011 Just Dandy Club Scrap kit. Let's look at the pictures below for more details about this layout.  Here is page one of the two page layout. I used a 8 1/2" x 11" pattern paper that came with the kit.  All cardstock used on this first page is from the kit with the exception for the bottom photo mat. I have two portrait photo mats. I used a green cardstock for the bottom mat that is cut at 4" x 5 1/2" and the top mat is from the kit and it is cut at 3 3/4" x 5 1/4". I wrapped lime twine from The Twinery and tied a bow. These circles I cut using a stencil. I stamped a sentiment on the left circle with a stamp that I had in my stash. I found a floral stamp in my stash that looks like a dandelion, so I stamped that on the circle with my versamark and then I lightly went over it with mustard colored chalk and a cottonball, then I stamped the sentiment.

Here are pages 11 and 12 of the July 2011 Just Dandy Club Scrap kit. I used the Scrap Rap newsletter to get layout ideas.

I cut a 3/4" yellow strip and attached it to the back of the photo mat, so a photo can easily slip under the strip. I attached sequins to the top of the yellow strip using glue dots. The two layers at the top of the page was to long, so it had to be trimmed off the edge after being attached to the page and it just so happen that it looked really good and added color b
