Scraps Of Darkness presents White Rabbit, the June Kit. It includes an artfully fun collection of papers and embellishments. As with all Scraps of Darkness kits, you can take this kit in any direction you want. That's how versatile it is, easily this kit can adapt to your scrappy mood and scrappy style.

This is a photo I found in the United States Library of Congress Flickr Pilot Project website of Jazz Great Chubby Jackson. I loved the way the light played upon him. Such a striking photo.

This shot was taken at the Down Beat Club in New York , NY, Nov.,1942 by William P. Gottlieb. Mr Gottlieb dedicated these works to the public domain and the Library of Congress. In 2000, Jackson was inducted into the Big Band and Jazz Hall of Fame. He died at age 84 in California in Oct. 1 2003

If you want to see how I created my cardboard strip embellishment, wander off to my blog. I have a mini-tutorial and many photos. It's messy spritzy inky fun.

This is a design based on the monthly sketch from Charlotte Jenkins, also known as suepup. She is a brilliant sketch artist and makes scrapping so much easier.

Super giant sized thanks to all of you who leave comments and are ever so patient with me in responding and returning the honor to you. You cannot imagine my gratitude.

Please visit my blog for some close ups and tutorials and additional Jen blather. LOL
