Time to do a little catching up!!

Wow! I am SO far behind in sharing some of my recentl creations!  So sit back and relax, this is going to be one LONG post!!

First, I want to share some projects created with a couple of the awesome June kits from Queen Scraps!!

The first kit is the fun & whimsical "KandCompany Poppy Seed" kit!

This kit includes:
Papers: Blue Butterflies, Star Stripes, 1/2 sheet Glitter Multi Dot
Bazzill: Cream Puff: 2 sheets
October Afternoon Mini Market Stickers: Teal and Black
Prima Daisies: 3 pcs, colors and sizes vary
Poppy Seed Self Adhesive paper borders: 4 - 6 pcs, designs will vary
Poppy Seed Rubons with Rhinestones: 1/2 sheet, design will vary

"Jessica"
(12"x12" Layout)
Everything you see on this layout is included in the kit!
"New Neighbors"
(12"x12" Layout)
Everything used on this layout is included in the kit!
I also used the Cricut Expression for the title and flourishes
and EK Succession Butterfly Punch.

The next kit I'd like to share is the beautiful and elegant "Pink Paislee Queen Bee" Kit!

This kit includes:
Papers: Queen Bee, Worker Bee, Bees Wax, Bee Hive Die Cut
Bazzill: Bark, 2 sheets
Kaisercraft Brown and White Mini Alphabet
Queen Bee Border Stickers: 2 pcs, designs will vary

"Honeymoon"
(12"x12" Layout)
Everything used on this layout is included in the kit!
(I also used the Cricut Expression for the circles, scalloped circles and journaling blog, as well as a selection of border punches.)

I found that this kit was PERFECT for all of these heritage photos that I have!  These photos are from my grandparent's honeymoon back in 1939!!  I found a whole envelope full of them, and I am excited to have finally started working on them!

"Once Upon A Time"
(12"x12" Layout)

Everything used on this layout is included in the kit!
(I also used the Cricut Expression for the title.)

This is a photo of my parents on their Wedding Day in 1968! This kit included the perflect collection of papers to make this layout EXACTLY what I wanted!

I now have it framed and am looking to order a 2nd kit to create a similar layout using one of my in-law's wedding photos!!

Both of these kits are available in the Queen Scraps on-line store for only $9.99 each!!  Hurry & get yours before they are gone!!

Now, I'd like to share some creations made with the Bo Bunny Persuasion Line!  Bo Bunny sponsored the Design Team over at Cookin' Up Creations for the month of June!   They sent a beautiful selection of items, including patterned paper, flower, bling, buttons, stamps and ribbon!

"Daddy's Girls"
(12"x12" Layout)

Everything except for the Bazzill Cardstock & StazOn Ink are
from Bo Bunny!
(I used the Circut Expression for the Title & to cut the Circle
& heart, as well as a Fiskars Border Punch)

Everything except for the Bazzill Cardstock are
from Bo Bunny!

(I used the Circut Expression for the Title, as well as a Corner Punch)

In addition to the papers & embellishments, we also received a clear acrylic album.  I decided it would be fun to create a home decor piece to hang in my daughters' room using the pages of this album!  With the addition of a few misc. flower brads, I made this cute mobile!


OK... well... this post is getting a bit long, so I'll wait and share some more with you later this week!!
