Here is my final project with kk#10 from Kits2Remember. I wanted to do something with all of the garden pictures I seem to take. I thought these Basic Grey LilyKate papers were perfect for garden pages. Be sure to check out the krew blog to see the rest of my album and the other krew members projects.










Have you been to the Queen & Co blog lately? I love there new goodies that are coming out at CHA. They have a blog give away going on too. Go check it out.

krew kit #10

I had alot of fun working with this krew kit. I am so not a pink person but I love this Basic Grey LilyKate line. As soon as I opened to box Patrick wanted me to make something for his little "girlfriend" Lily. That worked for me because I wanted to do something nonbaby.


I used a 6x6 acrylic and metal panel for this wall hanging. I cut the letters from the glitter cardstock with my cricut. And simply added flowers. I sprayed the tulle with green glimmer mist, I love the little bit of shimmer and color that it gives.
Instead of tying knots in the ribbon to hang it by I sewed it together to give it a more finished look.

I don't know why this photo keeps turning sideways...sorry about that.

On the metal panel I just covered it with pattern paper and attached the larger flowers and put the smaller flowers on magnets. That way the photos can be changed out.

The brads, heidi swapp flowers, paint and eyelets are not from the kit.

Also, all of the flowers (except for the ones on the magnets) are fastened through the acrylic and metal so you don't have to worry about them falling off. I used my crop-a-dile to punch the holes. It works like a charm even on the metal.

I also made a 6x6 frame for my SIL. Again I used my cricut for the title. And added ink and brads from my stash. I love the heidi swapp bling that came in the kit and that leaf ribbon is awesome.

This kit came with a 5 panel 6x6 Clear Scraps album, Basic Grey Lily Kate line, 2 pieces of DCWV glitter cardstock and alphas, 2 pieces of 6x6 chipboard, 6x6 metal panel, metal embelly, 2 packages of Imaginise flowers, heidi swapp bling, and more than 8 yards of ribbon and tulle. There is alot in this kit and it is only $25.

Be sure to head over to the kits2remember store to grab one up. Jessica is having some great deals on certain items too. So be sure to check out the sale section while you are there.

As promised another project that I have done recently. This is krew kit #9 from kits2remember! It is full of these yummy Fruit Cake line (papers, diecuts, alphas) from Basic Grey, lots of ribbon, 2 large jingle bells, Bazzill flowers and bling brads and of course an 8x8 acrylic album. You should check out this kit it is full of goodness. Plus it comes with ATC size metal panels.
I wanted to make an album about our holiday traditions and I thought this was the perfect kit to do it with.

I did finally get a decent photo of the village and memory tree (my favorite decoration I believe). I just need to take another photo of the album now...lol

I made a couple of ornaments with the metal panels. I used scraps from the kit, glimmer mist, alcohol inks and those little tiny school photos.

This kit was posted on the krew blog in December but there are still some in the store!

I can't believe...

it has been 3 weeks since I have blogged! Well actually I haven't really been online during that time very much. It has been a crazy time for us. I have been out of town alot dealing with a family issue, I think everything is settled now and I can stay at home for awhile! And while I am at home we have been super busy. We have been on 2 fieldtrips with Patrick's school. His first one ever was to Faith Farms. It was alot of fun. They have alot of animals, lemurs, camels, kangaroos, goats, sheep...etc. Patrick even petted the baby lemur. They got to go on a hayride to the pumpkin patch and pick one out. Play on a jump castle and the playground. The second was to see a play "If You Give a Pig a Pancake"! It was a great and the kids had a blast! They did 7 kids books to music. It lasted about an hour and the kids loved it!
We went to the pumpkin patch again with our playgroup..I really like how this picture of Patrick and I turned out!

And about the only scrappy stuff I have gotten done has been for my DT at Kits2Remember. I did this little mini Disney acrylic book and the Mickey head for our niece who went on a trip to Disney this year. The mini book is 3x4 and the Mickey is made with 2 5inch and 1 8inch acrylic cirlces. All of the acrylic can be found in the k2r store. They were fast and easy to make. All I used was cardstock, stickles, various ribbon, Making Memories alphas and my Cricut (Mickey font). Check out the k2r krew blog for more photos!

This was an 8x8 album I made about our Summer from Krew Kit #8. I loved these papers! The colors are so rich and full of flourishes and butterflies. Whats better than that? I had so much left that I made this layout, 2 cards and I have enough scraps left for more! Check out the krew blog for more photos and to see what everyone else did with this kit! Be sure to check out the k2r store for this kit and some other great goodies as well!

It is so hard to believe that Halloween is already here! Where does the time go? Here are a couple of pictures from our outing last night. We then went again tonight with my SIL and niece.

Sadly to say I am glad this week is over. Between a field trip, setting up for the schools fall festival, going to and working at the fall festival and trick or treating twice I am too sick to do anything else. Maybe now I can get rid of what ever it is I have gotten...ugh.

Patrick doing a spidey move!! lol
I loved this photo op when Patrick started hiding behind a tree from a kid dressed as a vampire.

Now that I think life is getting back to normal I plan to catch up on my message boards and get back to blogging and scrapping again. Because I have been MIA from everything!

Have a safe and happy Halloween!
