CKC June Kit ~~ I'm Back =)

Well Happy June!!!

I have been away from CKC for several months,

but I am SO happy to be back this month.

The kits are Amazing this month!!  

They are:

Scrapbook Circle May Kit

Clique Kits Summer School

I went with Scrapbook Circle.

I loved the black accents and the bold colors.

Here are my papers.

Yes there is a plethora for goodness in here.

A lot of PL cards, since that is the bulk of my

scrapbooking these days.

I decided to add this bold little book of goodness.

I have had it for ever so long.....

too long, 

and it needs a home on some pages,

or needs a new home,

if ya get my drift =)

I threw in some fun summer cut outs,

and of course, some Maggie (BFF) lovelies =) 

Here are my stickers and such.

Yep there is some Glitz, MME, Amy Tan, Thickers

and other such fun.

And then this bad boy is FILLED

with all kinds of embellies.

Oh yes, this is gonna be one fun month of scrappy goodness!!

MME 6x6 pad.

Perfect for PL.

 So there you have it.

My June Kit.

Can't wait to start getting to work.

It's so good to be back!

=)

Have a Blessed and Beautiful,

Krafty Kind of Day ~~

dawn

100 % FUN!!!

So I asked myself some

questions at the start of this year

about how I wanted to blog 

and what challenges I wanted to 

participate in on a regular basis, etc.

Of course, I want to do a monthly kit 

with CKC blog.  

But I also thought about some of the other

challenges out there 

and which ones really spoke to me

and why.

Well, the one that kept coming to mind

and the one I decided to start trying to do

is the one over at Simon Says Stamp.

It is a weekly challenge that goes up every Monday.

The wonderful Ashli Oliver

is on the design team

and the equally as wonderful May Flaum

heads it up.

So I decided to really challenge myself and 

try to keep up with the weekly challenges.

This week it is an anything goes challenge.

So.....

Yep, what a great time to use

an over size,

big as your head % sign

that goes wonderfully

because of the oversize,

big as your head picture.

This is an iPhone pic 

blown up to an 8x8 

from Persnickety.

Seriously didn't have high hopes

that it would turn out well,

but oh my goodness,

it is FANTASTIC!!!

Look at his gorgeous face.

Our Sir Cuteness as the most beautiful

eyelashes, and I know you can't see them

here, but they showed up SO well 

in this print.

LOVE.

So the % sign is wood veneer,

ginourmous wood veneer!

So at first I thought maybe I'd try

Perfect Pearls to spruce it up.

#epicfailure

So I covered it and embossed it with white.

Better, but still could see the PP

SO I embossed it again with the white

and voila!

I love the outcome!!

At first you don't succeed and all that.

Ya know...

And then of course Maggie.

Have y'all seen her new

Styleboard line coming out soon?

Yes, It will be making an appearance

here on ye ole blog.

I am certain of it!!!

Hey, thanks for stopping by.

Leave me some love

and follow me if ya'd like.

Have a Blessed and Beautiful,

Having Fun PL LO's

I am having so much fun playing

with my January CKC kit.

So I wanted to show you the cover page for me 

PL album.

I am really excited to be doing PL this year,

but I am definitely a newbie,.

A.newbie.

So I am watching A LOT of YouTube videos 

and trying different techniques.

This is my cover page so far.

I want to add a family photo 

to it.

I have one in mind,

just need to get it printed and on the page.

Boy I tell ya,

I want to apologize again for the dark, glared pictures.

I am not in my scrap room right now,

but working on my kitchen table.

It is terrible weather here.

REALLY cold and snowy.

Like windchill of -25 kind of cold,

and my Mr. Winslow just told me 

that there were a foot snow drifts in the middle of the road. 

The road crews clean them off 

and the wind drifts them back up.

Its a vicious cycle.

So we have closed up my scrap room for a few days

as it takes a lot to heat it and it lets in 

a lot of cold air when it is first opened,

so we have just closed it up until this bad weather

passes, of Spring comes.  

Which ever happens first.

 So I just took a few things out of my room

to work on at the table so as you can see

the lighting is not so great right here

But we shall work with it yes?

Yes we shall.

I am just so thankful to have a scrap room that 

I do not mind at all when we have to close it up 

for a few days.

I can handle that if y'all can handle a few dark

pictures.

Its easier on our electric bill this way =)

Anyway, I do wish this page were better.

I may try to repost this one after I am back to 

regular shooting,

because it is just so stinkin' cute.

Stinkin' 

cute.

I tell you!

Now I am mixing some Christmas PL pages into

my album for this year,

mainly because I just couldn't wait to get started =)

Yeah, I'm awesome like that.

This particular page is a 12x12 that I put in my PL album.

It is a page of Sir Cutenesses letter to Santa that

he wrote at school.

How cute is this?

I mean seriously.

Yep, had to be included.

Oh this page and this boy.

The picture of his eye just cracks.me.up.

I love this spread.

 So this is just a smidge of what I have been working 

on that last several days.

Thank you for stopping by.

Have a Blessed and Beautiful,

January CKCB Kit

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

It is the beginning of a new year

and 

a new month,

so that means a new kit

needs to be counterfeited 

from over at the CKCB.  

This month the kit is Hip2bsquare December

kit:

And an embellishment kit from Oh Deer Me.

Seriously, how cute is this kit?

So this year 

I will be formulating my kits 

a little bit differently.

I love my 12x12's.

I need to count how many pages I did in 2013,

but I have 2 FULL 12x12 albums + a mini or two,

plus other projects.

Yes, I was a busy girl,

but it didn't really seem like it,

because I just stinkin' love it SO much!!

Well for Christmas my Mr. Winslow

bought me a Project Life Core Kit

and album.

SQUEEL!!!  

 i love it SO much!!

I have been working on it,

and it is so easy and fun and comes

together so quickly.

I didn't really think I would like it,

but decided to give it a go,

and he was more than happy to get me

a kit for Christmas!

He is so great like that!!

So my kits this year will consist of papers 

for 12x12's but also for PL.

I won't just be using a core kit,

of course,

because you know how I roll.

I would of course find scrapping out of a core

kit all the time boring.

No offense to the core kit.

I mean they are lovely and all,

but sometimes a girl just needs 

a little bling and different color.

Am I right?

So without further ado (your welcome)  =)

I present

A New Year, A New You

Too cheesy?

Perhaps, but I'm all about cheese 

especially Feta,

but that is another story for another day.

Onto the kit.....

Here are the papers for both PL

and my regular 12x12's.

I will get this all sorted out, but for now

because all is not sorted,

I will just show you this big kahuna

of a kit.

The other sides of those 

gorgeous papers.....

And then here are my lovely PL cut a parts.  

Oh Maggie and your cameras.

She's my SB BFF ya know.

Yeah, we're tight.

=)

Ok, so the obvious elephant in the room

are these pictures.

Yes I took them in a hurry last night.

NOT a good idea,

but I had some time to scrap and really

wanted to "break open" my kit, 

but really needed to take these pics,

so I did it in a hurry.

So sorry.

Check out these stickers.

These will go so nicely in my PL this month.

Yes there is some Maggie running around in there.

=)

Have you seen the sneaks of her new collection?

Oh swoony swoon!!!

And the embellies.

Yeah tried to dress this pic up a bit.

Yeah, didn't work so good.

Ok, so ya know the embellie kit had those 

HUGE wood veneer numbers in it?

Well I didn't have those, 

but seriously, look at that doggie.

How cute is he?

And the hashtag,

yes I know it could also be a number symbol,

in fact, that's all it used to be,

but now it is the beloved hashtag.

Thank you Instagram.

So there you have it,

bad pictures and all.

I have been feverishly working on my PL,

and will hopefully take some decent pics soon,

showing a little of what has been going on in that corner

of my world.

I am really loving it!!

Thanks for stopping by

and

A Day in the Life of My Hair

I am currently taking a class over at Studio Calico.

It is called Lifted.

This is my first LO for this class, and these lovely

items are from my CKCB November Kit.

It is actually out of my comfort zone,

this here LO.

Like WAY out!!

When I completed it originally, it was just that grey

background paper that you see.

Well my layering was right in the middle.  

It was off.

I tell you.

Off.

For me anyway. 

I seldom center things.

I am cool like that =)

So I decided I would cut the grey down

and add it off kilter, I mean off center =)

on another sheet of PP.

Score!

I had just a touch of this Crate Paper paper

that I love,

and then I mounted this whole mess on my BFF's

paper line (yes Maggie.....dear Miss Maggie).

From her first line.

And yes this story is about my hair.

My crazy, wild, getting longer by the minute

hair.

Oh sweet doily,

sweet gold doily,

how I love thee!

And lots of layered bits.

I did add a few embellies here and there,

but not my usual embellishment heavy design,

but it's growing on me.

Much like my hair =)

Thank you for stopping by and seeing me =)
