Featuring Kelly Purkey Shop │ March Shop Update

Happy April everyone! Its officially spring and I'm ready for all things sun and fun. I just wish Mother Nature would get the memo. I mean California has been wet and the mountains are covered in so much snow I feel like she's forgotten about sun shine. Every day we get that is blue and sunny has been so welcomed and its got me craving more and more.

We were able to find some nice warmish temps and plenty of sunshine when escaped to Southern California last week which was so, so nice. That meant we were gone when the Kelly Purkey March shop update happened so I'm here today to share the two projects I made this month.

The first project I made is an insert for my Pocket Page album using just the Eating Out main kit only. This kit has such great cards and really covers a full range of eating out themes and the stamp set is so, so great. I loved the little half circle stamps that you could fill with icons or leave plain like I did.

I really wanted to fit in the lined stamps of food courses but didn't want to leave out the Let's Eat card so I opted to mask off the text on the card and just stamp so the course I wanted to highlight showed. I love how this turned out.

The labels that came with the kit were the perfect layering piece for stamping multiple sentiments on top of my photos.

My second project was a travelers notebook spread using the papers from the Food Journal Travelers Notebook kit, cards from the Eating Out kit and the stamps from the Food Adventure stamp set. I know that stamp set has sold out but I heard it may come back in April's shop update since there was so much interest in the items that have sold out.

I loved the subtle patterns of the TN kit and used them for the base of my page. Its just enough pattern to keep it interesting without detracting from the photos I used the two journal cards from the Eating Out kit to help ground my photo on the right side. It needed something a bit more than just the photo and I really wanted to add in some journaling to tell the story and that little noodle bowl card was perfect for this story.

I used as many of the noodle themed stamps as I could without making it look over done and I love how the icons and phrases move your eye across the page.

I loved the little tab stickers that came in the Food Journal kit and can't wait to label more food themed pages, the taco stamps are calling my name.

I hope you enjoyed the shop update, food is always such a popular theme so its no surprise the stamps and kits were a big hit this month.
