July Kit at Kraft Girl Kits!!!!!!!

Pam at Kraft Girl Kits has done it AGAIN!!!!!!!!!! This month's kit is another MUST HAVE!!!!!! Head on over to pick one up before they are gone!!!!! Click HERE!

My first layout features a very unhappy Kennedy! I think all parents can relate!!!

I can't tell you how awesome the Crackle Paint is! Yes, that's right! You get crackle paint in this month's kit! I now am completely addicted and need more colors! And is that butterfly not TO DIE FOR?!?! WOW!

This layout was just a silly one! I thought the Basic Grey paper was so fun! So I cut it up and arranged it as trees, complete with bird rub ons and shiny leaves!!!!

And finally....

These photos of Kennedy are so old!!!! But I love them! And I noticed she is drawing with her left hand! She is STILL a lefty!!!!!

I hope you can hop over the Kraft Girls and see what the other amazing designers did!!!

More My Little Shoebox for June

June is coming to a close....hard to believe. So I thought I better share the rest of my June creations for My Little Shoebox before July hits!!

***


This first one is about a conversation I had with Kennedy about her dear brother, Sam. It was sweet, and tender and broke my heart....but I want to remember it forever....

I loved cutting out all the fun circles and owls in the patterned paper! And I love the funky, bright colors!!

***

I absolutely adore the round papers from My Little Shoebox! There is just something about shaped paper that sparks my creativity! For this layout I used a blurry, not so perfect photo of Kennedy and I - but we so rarely get our photo taken together I wanted to document it! I again had fun cutting up my patterned paper and layering it with the MLS sheer overlays and cardstock!

***
And finally, a layout about Jeff and our dog, Copper! This dog is BIG but thinks he is a lap/cuddly dog! He will sit and lay all over you! The distressing on this layout was really fun to do!

***

Also, we have unveiled the new lines that My Little Shoebox will be debuting next month at CHA! So I will be back shortly to share them all with you! I know you will love them!

Have a Blessed Day!

*****************

In other news, I have booked my flight to Orlando! I am going to CHA baby!!!!!!! I have wanted to go for so long, and this year it is finally feasible for me! Hooray! I am so excited to meet the My Little Shoebox ladies in person! So let the countdown begin!!!!

Kraft Girls!!!!

I am finally uploading the rest of my creations with the June kit over at Kraft Girl Kits!!!! YUM!

On this layout I used the chipboard bracket in the kit under my title. I inked it orange. Then applied some Modge Podge and dumped lots of white glitter on it!

All my local scrappy friends know about my love of buttons!

And the entire layout. The photos were taken this May.

**********************

I had a hard time photographing this layout and getting the true colors right. I promise you the IRL image is much better!!!!

These photos are so old but I just adore them! Kennedy and her cousin - they only get to see each other once or twice a year.

********************

The ribbon that Pam included in this kit was to die for! I used every last bit of it!!!!

I hand cut my own little fish to carry on with the fish theme! Then used 3D adhesive to give it a lil umph!
Again, the colors in the layout go so well together in real life!

Hope you have a great week!!!

Blessings!
