CCK LO's ~~ Having Fun with this Kit

So this month's Kit just maybe my favorite so far.

Its a close race between it and my first participation to CCK

back in March of last year.

*****

So I wanted to show you something I'm working on.

It's in the beginning stages,

and generally I'm not good at showing my process,

because I don't think about taking pictures until I'm nearly done,

but this time,

I wanted to try and document my process,

so this is my LO right now,

but this started as a stark white piece of cardstock.

I decided to take the pointy flower from the Tim Holtz

Tattered Floral die, 

and use it on a CHRISTmas page,

as a poinsetta of sorts.

So I sewed them down the side,

and then woke up this morning and decided it needed some along the bottom 

of the page.

Then some masking was in order

with my fav mist right now,

Heidi Swapp's Gold Lame Color Shine.

Love.it.

I'll keep ya posted on this page.

If you follow me on Instagram 

you will be seeing it sooner =)

I'm petriidawn.

So I took pictures of my most recent pages 

BEFORE 

they made the page protectors,

but I had my camera set weird,

and the pics didn't turn out well,

so I reset my camera

and just decided to take my pics with them in the page protector,

so please excuse the glare.

So this first LO is one that is for my Faithbook Journal

This year I am doing SSMT 2013,

which is a Scripture Memorization Team

with the LPM Blog,

and decided that I would make pages for each of my

Scriptures, 

2 a month,

and this is my first one.

I also decided to get back to what I LOVE about scrapbooking

for me:

the details.

I LOVE that.

I LOVE flowers.

Big, Gorgeous, LOVELY,

flowers.

This is another page using my kit.

Here's the full page.

This boy is just the cutest,

and sweetest,

and MOST photographic babe.

I love him so!

And then the snowflake negative that you see here 

has had LOTS of use.

This is the last piece left,

and so glad it could be used up.

Confetti fun.

I Glossy Accented the Joy and Bird Hat.

And then this page is my page on the first Challenge.

I loved trying my hand at this Challenge.

Wood veneer trees.

More trees and hexi fun =) 

This LO tells the most fun story of CHRISTmas this year

between me and my man.

I love this LO.

Then I tried my hand at Tim Holtz's washi flower.

How fun!

And how cute is this flower?

Love it!

Ok, so I am getting right on through my kit this month.

My goal is to be done with my CHRISTmas LO's 

by the end of January.

I might just meet this goal.

YAY!!!

Have a Blessed and Beautiful,

CCK LO's ~~ So Enjoying This Month's Kit

So this kit is rockin' my scrapbook world

and can't wait to do the first challenge .

Ok so this first LO is one I had partially done 

when I made my kit for the month,

and finished it up with the kit,

so I included it as my first LO.

Love this boy so....

 Here is a little detail work.

I love my Studio Calico mist white opaque,

and these little Studio Calico wood veneer trees are wonderful.

Love them.

I love this little embossed snowflake and brads.

Love.

This LO makes me so happy.

I love these two so!!

Here is some brad work.

Love using brads.

Another little wood veneer tree and bling brad.

Here is a LO with a picture taken at CHRISTmas time with my extended

family and a special guest.

I love this Webster's Pages paper.

So pretty.

(I know that my pictures are not sizing right.

I'm working on this.)

I'm so enjoying this kit.

CCK January - WOO-HOO!!!

I am SO excited!!!  

I missed making a kit in December.

I find so much more gets done when I have a kit.

And this month I was SO excited to see what

kit we were counterfeiting.

It is Cassie Box's over at Paper Issues.

She is GREAT!!

If you have not ordered from her,

you really should.

I mean really.....

you should.

Such fast,

fabulous,

and 

fun

items.

She is just GREAT!

Here is her kit....

So funny.....

I almost ordered a CHRISTmas kit from her.

So here is my kit.

This is some 6x6 and scraps that I will be adding in.....

My papers.

There is Some Merry & Bright,

Webster's Pages,

Simple Stories and various and sundry other 

collections represented here, both new and old.

Yep this is a big kit,

but I have so many CHRISTmas pictures to work on

I wanted to make sure I had a big kit to work with.

Sticker sheets.....

Thickers, Alphas and word stickers.....

Cassie has some fun tags in her kit,

and I had some in my stash so I pulled those out,

(In the back of this picture).

And lots of Authentique banners, borders and tickets, etc.

Here is a little basket of goodies that is sitting

on the back of my table that is filled

with lots of CHRISTmas goodies =)

Lots of twine, wood veneer CHRISTmas trees

and washi tape.

Oh cute, cute washi!

I won 15 yards of washi from BPC a couple of months ago.

I was so surpised!!

And this washi is the cutest!!

I got to pick out what I'd like,

so I pulled out four of the CHRISTmas washi's

Sir Cuteness and I picked out.

Fun stuff right there!!!

And speaking of Sir Cuteness.....

Here he is sitting in my new scrap studio.

Oh goodness,

it is amazing!!!

We moved it from a small bedroom

and into a room off of our kitchen.

It is bigger and it is so roomy.

Love it!!

So happy about this room.

Well there you have it.

Now I'm ready to start scrapping!!!

I hope your New Year is Blessed.

Have a Blessed and Beautiful,

but there are LOTS of other goodies thrown in here to.

This is Sir Cuteness at Sears looking at the Snoopy display....

inspired by May.

Again lots of little details here.

I love the CHRISTmas tree made with paper strips,

and LOVE the banners.

A fun tag ~~ again May inspired.

Here are some snowflakes Punched out of some paper that

was used as an scrap piece to try out some mists.

Loved it SO much I punched these lovely snowflakes out

and added some bling.

December Goodies

So when I order scrapbook supplies,

I generally browse and order.....

browse and order.

But about 2 or 3 times a year

I grab bag it.

There is one site in particular that I do this from and it is May Flaum's

blog.  

She has not had a sale in a while.

But I love ordering things from her.

Well, so the other day I found another blog

through Paper Issues (love this Etsy store)

and she was getting ready to have a studio sale.

I just do not normally order from someone either I don't "know"

or have had a recomendation from somebody I "know" on,

but this time was different.

Just something about her.

About her site.

About her style.

Caused me to want to give it ago.

So I ordered a box from her.

Oh, who is she?

Well her name is Leslie

and you can find sweet Leslie right here.

Well, I got my box,

and 

Oh.

My.

It was INCREDIBLE!!!

I normally don't do posts about my supplies,

but I just HAD to share this.

Y'all are just not going to believe this.

First off,

she sent me an ENTIRE paper pack

complete with the 2 sheets of stickers,

all still in the package.

"SO HAPPY TOGETHER"

The entire pack,

Unopened.

WOW!

This adorable letter sticker sheet.

Paper.....

PAPer.....

PAPER.....

Here are the CHRISTmas goodies she sent me.

Lots 'o card stock.....

Some even embossed.

WOW!!

Lots of paper!!!!!

Some were current,

some were past lines,

but I did not care AT ALL!!

Some many of the past lines,

I don't have and don't really know about,

being that I haven't been scrapping really that long.

I mean I've had scrap stuff for a LONG time,

but as far as actually using it,

only about a year or so, of real creative play.

Which I love btw =)

Some up close of an October Afternoon paper.

LOVE.

There were 70 sheets of paper.

70

WOWZERS!!!

Look at these wonderful stamp sets.....

Yes, alpha stamps.

I know right?

GREAT!!!

And then once I took all my pics and got back to my studio

I found a CHRISTmas set I forgot to include,

and it is SO cute!!

Maybe I'll just show it in action. =)

And so many extra goodies.....

Bling,

Brads,

Buttons,

Felties,

and SO much more.....

Flowers,

Ephemera,

Banners,

Doilies.....

Etc.....

And then a Maya Road Mini Album with Tabs ~~ love.

Maya Road canvas butterflies.....

Tags.....

Masks.....

Rubons.....

Oh my!

And some how I didn't get the pic on my computer,

but there was also 3 washi tapes,

1 Yellow sparkle spray,

1 paint dabber,

glitter,

distress embossing powder,

and I'm sure I'm probably forgetting something,

but WOW!!!

I mean seriously,

this was incredible!!

So visit Leslie,

love on her, 

and if she has any boxes left,

nab one!!!

I'm hoping to be back later today with my

Layout Love Linky for December.

Until then.....

Have a Blessed and Beautiful,
