There are lots of reasons the Metropolitan kit is one of my favorites. The color combo is what first drew me in. It works so well with everyday photos or winter photos because of the cool color palette.
Another reason I love this kit is the exclusive patterned papers, which are still available in the More Patterned Paper kit. Both Stephen (SC designer) and Sassafras knocked it out of the park. I love all the little tone-on-tone patterns, but the Sassafras stripe and Studio Calico numbers have my heart.
I thought this kit with the cool tones would work great with a black & white photo. I rarely scrap with black & white photos, but I love the simplicity of them and wish I used them more often.
It’s fun to look back at this kit since it was pre-baby and remember what my mornings were like when I got to sleep in! I love that this kit provided the groundwork for me to document that memory.
This is easily my favorite kit too. I loved the mix of colors/patterns in the papers. And that is sweet puppy picture!

This is easily one of my favorite kits as well. It's so versitile :) I think I used about 90% of this kit in my wedding album!

Wow that is a very beautiful kit. Looks very intricate. The colors and patterns match very well. You must have spent a lot of time on it, no?!

This was my first SC kit and I LOVED it- I haven't been able to rip into the papers because I'm "saving them" for just the right project- the page used to illustrate it here is GORGEOUS!!! Wish I had a classic type writer- I love that effect!

I agree April, Metropolitan is one of my all time favourites. I love the turqoiuses , yellows and grey/black/white....plus those little glittery MM alpha stickers, trim, tags ok ALL of it !!
Great for snowy ( b&w ) photos yet the colours say "summer and beach" to me too.Truly veratile :)
