DIGITAL SCRAPBOOKINGProduct Spotlight ~ Gabby
Tuesday, June 12, 2012
Happy Tuesday everyone! It’s Jenelle here with our latest Product Spotlight. A favourite kit of mine, I have to say and one that is so versatile – I just love it! It’s the divine Gabby Collection and it is ON SALE now in the Shoppe for a limited time only, at just $5.15. If you don’t already have this kit in your stash, I’m pretty sure you’ll be feeling inspired to add it to your wishlist by the end of this post! LOL!!! It really is gorgeous and I’m pretty sure you’re going to love the new layouts the team have come up with using Gabby. So let’s take a look at this beautiful collection shall we?
I’m certainly going to re-iterate SP’s words when I say that this kit is super fun, quirky and a little whimsical. Perfect for all types of layouts and themes ~ baby, family, indoor, outdoor, boy, girl – you name it! It works for everything. Such rich, vibrant colourings and those chic little birdies are definitely my favourite element from the collection. Have you seen them popping up on pages in the gallery – they are just too cute aren’t they?
I often reach for this kit (well, click for it really!) as I find I am really drawn to the colours. I am also a big fan of those leaves and branches. They come in very handy when decorating a page and I love the effects they give when you add some shadow work to them. From the folded and creased papers to the gorgeous ‘fairy wing stamps’, there really is so much in this collection to keep you scrapping year after year (I know I have!)
Here’s a baby layout I created using the Gabby collection – my little Nick when he was a wee 6 months old – where have those 7 years gone?
And here are two masterpieces from Kylie (well, would you expect anything less?!?!?) using this wonderful kit. I am in LOVE with the word art on Kylie’s ‘Together’ page…it is one of the pre-made clustered titles from the FAMILY word whimsy collection.
Rosy has created two beautiful layouts with a real tropical theme (Gabby is perfect for this as well!)… It’s funny – I always think of Rosy when I use this kit. Those little birds always look so gorgeous on her pages and she always uses them to perfection in my opinion!
Kim and Casharina have also showcased the collection beautifully with their latest layouts. I adore the pink grid paper Kim has used as her backing paper – it looks so effective! Casharina’s title work is amazing using the brilliant alpha from Gabby. Stunning work ladies!
You can have a closer look at these layouts in the gallery as we upload them throughout the day/night.
Want more Gabby? Then check out these gorgeous coordinating products when you stop by the Shoppe. First up, we have the Gabby 12 x 12 Album – a stunning piece-a-cake album complete with ten 12 x 12 pages, a cover and a bonus printable card and envelope. Perfect and EVER so easy! In addition, we also have the Gabby Badge Album and the Gabby Blogwear.
Here is a layout I created in a flash using one of the pages from the Gabby 12×12 Album. It was as simple as adding a photo and some text. Imagine how quickly you could put a book together using this piece-a-cake album? Perfect for Mother’s Day photos over the years, as I discovered…
Well I think that wraps up the spotlight for you today – I do hope you are feeling inspired by all this Gabby-goodness!!
Please join us again tomorrow when Rosy has a little inspiration for you all – a post not to be missed! Until then, happy scrapping everyone!

Another fun Blog Challenge idea:
Using a SP kit,challenge folks to make a Piece of Cake page or a cluster or paper stack. We can upload them to somewhere like 4 Shared and send the links to Kylie or SP. Then you could compile the links and send them back out to the participants. We could all get the piece of cake pages, clusters, and paper stacks submitted. There might even be a random prize….

I love this kit, too. Your sample Piece of Cake page from the Gabby album reminded me of a request I once made here. I think it would be great to have a Blog Challenge of using a Piece of Cake page from SP. She has some wonderful Piece of Cake Albums, but you don’t have to use it as an entire album. Just grab one for a layout that’s quick and easy. I think it would be a fun challenge to see what people do with them.

Beautiful post, Jenelle! Although I haven’t done many all Gabby pages, I’m continually reaching for the little birdie elements, the tone on tone white paper and the greenery, my favorite parts of this kit!
