CKC Members Blog Hop

Welcome y'all!!!

If you are hopping along then you have come here

from the lovely Elaine.

But if not, 

please go to the CKC to start
and see all the wonderful work
you've missed.

The CKC posts 3 challenges through the 

month, 

and we choose which one we want

to do.  

I chose the stamp on PP challenge.

I am not really a stamper.
I own stamps
and stamp pads.
But I am not really a stamper.
So this was a challenge for me,
because I really don't stamp on LO's much.

So.....

I found these boys hanging out.....
get it....
hanging out,
he's on a tree.
Hahahaha.....I crack me up.....
anyway.....
=)

I grabbed the blue box of CKC January Kit goodness
and got to work.

These clouds are from an Amy Tan
paper line.
I had a scrap of it and thought this would look SO cute.
One of the clouds had a little heart on it,
so I decided they all needed hearts.
So I went to work drawing each cloud its own heart.
Ahhhh.....

And then I stamped.
This is a Gossamer Blue Stamp I believe,
and it is in keeping with my heart theme
I had going.
So I stamped it using Heidi Swapps new stamps,
and can I just say.....
I LOVE THIS INK!!!
But I heard it is a limited time only thing.
I hope that is wrong,
or that their so popular that she continues
making it.
It is archival,
crisp,
and
wonderful!

A little sparkling Thicker title.....

Some little birdies,
some more stamping,
tiny staple,
And a cute boy.
Yep.
Perfect.

I have been wondering what in the wide world
I was gonna do with this cute little deer.
Well, here where we hike,
you can almost pet the deer,
they get so close to you.
Almost.
So I thought it was loosely related.
That's all the reason I need.
=)

This hello was a speech bubble from Simple Stories
the Vintage line from last year,
but the little doo-dad that makes this a speech
bubble just looked weird with no actual speech
going along with it,
so I just cut it off.
Now see you wouldn't have even known huh?
Yep, getting the most out of my supplies people.
The most!
=)
Hello mushrooms.

More cute birdies.....
and twine.....
and tiny staple.....

And voila!
I stamped,
I cut,
I oooed
and
ahhhed,
and
I called 'er done.

Thanks so much for stopping by.
Now hop on over to the lovely
Jemma
and see what she's got for you.

And I hope you have a
Blessed and Beautiful,

A Day at the Park with Our Babe

This month has been all about my LSNED album so far,

but I have managed to make a couple LO's in there to.

This one was so fun.

It was a recent Labor Day outing to the park with our

little dude.

This page was so very fun to do!

I pulled out a piece of Maggie Holmes from my CKCB September

Kit.  (Have I mentioned how much I LOVE this kit?) 

I love the colors on this page.

And this boy and his PaPa are the best of people!

It was indeed, A GOOD DAY!

It sure does.

I loved doing this page so much,

and the negative of the alphabet here

is so very fun for a preschool aged Gbabe!

Thanks for stopping by y'all!!

Have a Blessed and Beautiful,

LSNED Days 5 & 6

This project is a fav of the year for me so far.  

I love doing 12x12 LO's, but this has been such

a nice change of pace.   And I am continuing to use my

CKCB kit.  It is also one of my fav's of the year!

So this page is all about time.  

She moves so very fast ya know?~~

These four pics represent four

different ages of our Sir Cuteness,

with the one with the backpack 

being his first day of preschool back in May.

The one in the bottom with PaPa is one of my fav's!

Our little guy has grown so fast!

I am working through Wilna's first class on mixed media.

In this class she does a chapter on fabric.

I don't work with fabric a lot in my SB LO's.  

I'm never quite sure what to do with it.

Well for this page, I pulled out some canvas that I have

and starting sewing and stamping and adhering.  

Love.

And then decided with all these square elements,

this page definitely needed some round goodness on there.

So I pulled out my Nestabilitie dies and went to work.

I love the round elements on this very square page =)

Oh and the pen work on the bottom left....love.

These pages face each other, and I am LOVING this color scheme.

This is Sir Cuteness and his mommy.  And this was a page all about

being thankful.  I'm so thankful for these two and for truth.

Truth sets us free ya know.

It's true.

The real kind of free too!!

A unique element on this page is the piece in the top left.

I am fascinated with Subway art.

So I did a little Pinterest search and found a lovely

handwritten Subway art piece and decided to try it.

In this pic it just looks like a hot mess of words and hearts,

but in person, it is just lovely and adds a whimsical element to

this already kinda whimsy page.  =)

So there you have it.  A couple more fun pages for

my LSNED Book.

I hope you have a Blessed and Beautiful,

Krafty, Kind of Day ~~
