I hope you are all having a nice summer, I can't believe tomorrow is August already. July seemed to fly by while we stayed home for most of it.<br />
<br />
I wanted to share my July projects I made using Ali Edwards kits and products with you. First up is a pocket page spread I made using the August Stories by the Month kit. I loved the mix of blues and greens and used the kit to document a really short 24 hour stay in San Francisco last year.<br />

Next up is a full 9x12 layout that I made to slip into my pocket page album and I used the Roam Story Kit for this. I loved all of the embellishments in this kit and it will be perfect to add to my supplies for travel. The colors were gorgeous and I had fun playing with a stack of chipboard and banner strips down the left of my photo.<br />

Lastly is a notebook spread I made using the July Digital Stories by the Month kit. I resized and recolored the journaling card on the right so the colors would match the fade on the left and I love how this turned out. The center image on the right lifts up and has another photo and my story.<br />

I had so much fun creating with the kits and stamps so here is what I made.<br />
<br />
First up is a pocket page spread plus and insert that I made for a trip to San Diego back in 2018. I had held off on documenting this trip and I'm so glad I did because they released a San Diego City stamp set and it was perfect paired with the documenter kit. This is the main spread and the insert sits in between these two to hold more photos. I really loved the tropical leaf cards and of course the banana man was the cutest damn thing! I loved that I had the perfect use for him. I used as many of the cute phrases and icons from the stamp set on this spread and mixed them in where they worked and it was just the right embellishment.<br />
<br />

<br />
Here is the insert. I wanted it to be clean that it was an insert so I folded back one row of photos and cut down one of the journaling cards to create a flag. I added in the stamped embelishment that I took the time to fussy cut along all of those points because I knew it would look better if I did, and it totally did. I added a clip and love that little accent.<br />

<br />
Next up is a spread I made using the Notebook kit and the Stamp kit. I loved seeing the return of the Potty People on this stamp set! I really loved this set because there are so many possibilities for stacking and telling different family stories which is so great. I needed more of a preteen child then and little girl so I just stamped the woman stamp but made her a little shorter by masking off the bottom portion of the legs to more accurately depict our family.<br />

I used the digital of the We Are Better Together phrase and printed that right on to my photo.<br />

<br />
Lastly is a notebook spread I made with just the notebook kit. I really LOVED the acetate tags from that kit and used one to hold journaling that I slipped behind the sentiment in a little pocket I created. I tapped a glassine bag to the bag of the page to capture the tag when its slipped in so it wouldn't slide all the way thru the slit.<br />

I am personally really hoping that this month doesn't bring any new crazy surprises and that things start to level off. While I really want things to be back to normal I realize we have some ways to go so its baby steps over here and we're taking things in stride as best we can.<br />
<br />
The good news is the creative fun still continues and I'm here to share the projects I made for Ali Edwards this past month. First up is a pocket page spread I made using the July Stories by the Month kit. I really loved the bright pops of yellow and the floral cards were just gorgeous! I had fun overlapping some stamping underneath the oval die cut on the title card and really loved how that turned out.<br />

Next up is a project I made using the Kindness Story Kit. I really loved that denim background on that beautiful quote card. I modified it to be travelers notebook sized and added in some journaling below the sentiment. I really loved the tones of this kit and the felt hears were so cute as were the copper die cuts.<br />

Lastly was a spread I made using the June Digital Stories by the Month kit. I loved the sun journaling card and modified it to be travelers notebook sized. I cut two so I could raise up the center section of the sun and that circle paired well with the other circle embellishments in the kit.<br />

The June Full Bloom kits launched last week so here are the projects I made with the kits and stamps.<br />
<br />
First up is a documenter spread from last summer. I just loved the orange cards in this kit and pulled out as many as I could to use here. This spread covers just one day so it was really fun to load it up with all of my favorite photos and not have to edit them down.<br />
<br />

I really loved that camera stamp and loved that you could fill the shutter with so many different things. My daughter really loved the star card that's sitting off to the left. She almost stole it from me because she said its a really popular TikTok pattern. I guess I'll have to save it to document her love of that app.<br />

<br />
The Pool party addon stamp was perfect to document our first hot day of the season. I also used a printable tag to help highlight the stamping on the left side. I also left some space in my text block to stamp two of the designs with Moonlight White ink.<br />
<br />

<br />
The Everly alpha stamp set is so pretty. I love the all cap italicized design and knew it was perfect for a title but wanted it to stand out more than just stamped letters on a page. I decided to stamp the letters on vellum and cut them individually so they mimicked a letter sign. I stitched the black cardstock pieces down after everything was in place and I really love the impact.<br />

These projects were so much fun to make so I'm happy to share them with you.<br />
<br />
First up are the projects from May using the Chasing the Sun kits and stamps. I adore lemons so I really loved that title card on a spread of photos from this past June. They just scream happiness to me as do the other bright happy colors in this kit.<br />

There was a really fun addon stamp set that was perfect for documenting what our pool looks like this year. I just loved stamping, coloring in and fussy cutting all of the icons from this stamp set, especially the monstera leaves.<br />

Next up we have projects from April using the Color Me Happy kits. My fussy cutting adventures continued bit time in April as you will see below. The first project is a documenter spread and I paired it with photos from our Hawaii trip last November. That ocean card really spoke to me. As did the bright text cards.<br />

<br />
First up are the projects I made using the January High Five kits.<br />
<br />
First up is the documenter kit. This spread documents our 20th anniversary trip back to Disney-world where we went on our honeymoon. It was a great trip and a great kit to document it.<br />

Next up is a spread made using the travelers notebook kit. I always love the mix of soft and pretty and bright and bold pages in the notebooks. It gives you plenty of opportunities to share a variety of stories.<br />

Next up I want to share the projects I made with February's Full Heart kits.<br />
<br />

Things are quiet here and we're really looking forward to getting out more as soon as the orders are lifted. We continue to be grateful for a home to shelter in and family to spend our days with. Documenting and continuing to take photos of how we are filling our days continues to bring me joy and creating things with the images is wonderful therapy.<br />
<br />
This first spread was made with the June Stories by the Month kit. I loved all of the circle elements and used them to dance across the page. I used a little photoshop magic here to turn my vertical photo into a horizontal one by mirroring my image to span two pages. I love how this turned out and the wood veneer suns were my favorite accent.<br />

<br />
My second spread was made using the May Digital Stories by the Month kit. I used a journaling card for my inspiration and turned the sections into digital frames to clip photos too. I have been asked to do a tutorial on how I did this so watch for a video very soon.<br />

<br />
Lastly I made a 9x12 layout using the We Story Kit. I loved the bold graphic symbols in this kit and used a journaling card for the base of my page my enlarging it. I added some minc silver foil to a few elements to bring in some shine against the grey.<br />

So happy the temps are warming up here and we're able to spend more time outside enjoying the sun and stretching our legs a little bit.<br />
<br />
I had a great time working on April projects for Ali Edwards and I wanted to share them with you.<br />
<br />
First is a pocket page spread that I made with the May SBTM kit. It was perfect to document two fun days in May, a girls brunch and Mother's Day with our friends. I love that pop of bright yellow!<br />

Next up is a Travelers Notebook spread using the April Digital SBTM kit. I loved the daisy print so much I created a custom background to hold my photos. On the left side I adjusted the size of one of the journaling cards and cut a curved slit to make a pocket for my journaling. I just love this spread so much.</div>

<br />
Lastly I used the Progress Story kit to create a tag mini album about my daughters first week of distant learning. I used the addon 3x8 tags as the jumping off point for this and created more tags from the jouranling cards to hold the story and photos and I just love how this turned out. I'm really glad I have a memento of this crazy time of distant learning.<br />

Things have certainly taken a crazy turn since I was here last sharing projects. I have found some solace lately in creating so I'm hoping you are also finding some solace in your hobbies right now too. I hope these projects that I made in March bring you some inspiration and ideas and since its so quiet I plan to share some things I have made recently that I haven't had the time to share here. I send you all good wishes and please stay safe. Now for some creative distractions.<br />
<br />
First up is a pocket page spread that I made using the March Stories by the Month digital kit. The colors of this kit were so great, I'm always a fan of bright bold colors so I was a fan. This spread covers quite a few days in March last year and it was fun to get these memories saved.<br />

<br />
Next is another pocket page spread using the April Stories by the Month physical kit. This kit covers so much ground for April stories so I used it to document our Easter celebrations. I adored all of the floral elements and just loved embossing some of the stamps with Rose Gold embossing powder.<br />

Lastly was a travelers notebook spread that I made using the Friends Story Kit. I used a combination of digital elements of the kit and the physical pieces too. I love mixing digital with physical stuff and really enjoyed printing the digital flowers on vellum to fussy cut out for dimensional embellishments. I will for sure do this again and again.<br />

Just when we thought January would go on forever, February goes by in a flash. The weather here and been unseasonably dry with no rain at all this month so while I've been enjoying the beautiful weather and Spring like temps I'm afraid but still hopefully March ends up being wet. We sure do need the rain.<br />
<br />
Anyway, here are the three projects I made this month using Ali Edwards kits.<br />
<br />
The first was made using the <a href="https://aliedwards.com/subscribe/stories-by-the-month" target="_blank">March Stories by the Month kit</a>. This kit covered all kinds of Spring time related themes and the theme of growth really stood out to me. I thought it was a great way to tell a story about my daughter conquering some fears this past year. I loved the pastel vibes of the kit and the stamp set and word strip stickers were fun to play with.<br />

<br />
The second project I made was using the <a href="https://aliedwards.com/shop/stories-by-the-month-digital-february-2020" target="_blank">February Digital Stories by the Month kit</a>. I used the kit to tell the story of these two heading off to the Father Daughter Dance. Anytime I can use x's and o's and hearts on a project I'm all in.<br />

<br />
The last project I made was made with the <a href="https://aliedwards.com/subscribe/story-kit" target="_blank">You Story Kit</a>. This kit has so many great story sparks and I was drawn to the You Are card and used it as a way to share some things I love about my two favorite people. I also really loved the canvas hearts in this kit. They were so fun!<br />

When Ali Edwards shared a few weeks back that she was going to work on a project called Pieces of Us I was immediately drawn to it. The concept as she explains in <a href="https://aliedwards.com/2020/02/pieces-of-us-self-portrait-community-project-ideas-inspiration" target="_blank">this blog post</a> was going to be a week of focusing on images of ourselves so that we could get ourselves into the story and to also focus on all of the things we should be loving about ourselves. I loved the idea and don't usually have any issue with sharing photos of myself. I was surprised as I was moving thru the days that it was getting harder and harder for me to focus on myself and also share about myself as you will see in the journaling I did each day.<br />
<br />
After the week was over and I let my feelings sit I knew I wanted to put the photos and words together into some sort of mini album. Once I started working on it everything seemed to gel and I really ending up loving the images and the words that I had written. They were true and honest to how I was feeling at the time and they really helped open my eyes to some of the negative things I have allowed to float thru the air recently. I'm super thankful that I stuck it out and I'm super thrilled with how the mini came together.<br />
<br />
Here are the fine details about the project. It's a 5.5" x 7.5" simple folded mini album. I used Bazzil White Orange Peel cardstock for the cover and 65lb. white vellum for the interior pages, and the photos and text pages are printed out at 5x7. The titles are from Ali and she shared them in <a href="https://aliedwards.com/2020/02/pieces-of-us-digital-word-art-cut-file-package" target="_blank">this blog post</a>. The digital frames I used for the base of my text pages is <a href="https://the-lilypad.com/store/In-The-Loop.html" target="_blank">this set</a>, and the hand drawn florals that I used are from <a href="https://the-lilypad.com/store/Life-Oh-Life-sketch.html" target="_blank">this digital set</a>. The font I used for the headers is Silverline Script and the font I used for my journaling is Marista. All of the other embellishments and supplies are from my stash.<br />
<br />
Once I knew how many pages I needed to complete my book I made the booklet and stapled the pages inside the cardstock cover. I used a digital card from the Ali Edwards February Stories by the Month kit as the base and enlarged it to 5x7. I printed the base in color first on my printer and then fed the same sheet of paper into my laser printer so the digital brush title and florals could be run thru my Minc machine. I love how the gold shimmers and I'm always a fan of adding gold bits to things.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-7Lqr2bo45aQ/Xk71IsORyPI/AAAAAAAALv8/aVwgAY3oLcogrwywiTE2TODPHJnyRmcNwCLcBGAsYHQ/s1600/PiecesOfUsMini_01.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1252" data-original-width="1600" height="499" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-7Lqr2bo45aQ/Xk71IsORyPI/AAAAAAAALv8/aVwgAY3oLcogrwywiTE2TODPHJnyRmcNwCLcBGAsYHQ/s640/PiecesOfUsMini_01.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
I did the same thing for my title page so that the Pieces of Me and floral brush could be foiled. For the inside front cover I dug thru my stash and found this cute Crate Paper tag and created a little cluster. The gold die cut leaves from Studio Calico are carried thru the whole album giving it some cohesive elements.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-zq8IJ5Vx98I/Xk71J437DDI/AAAAAAAALwA/dRBuNZqk2S0d7MncvmTiWCVFIlZ2od2FgCLcBGAsYHQ/s1600/PiecesOfUsMini_02.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1253" data-original-width="1600" height="500" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-zq8IJ5Vx98I/Xk71J437DDI/AAAAAAAALwA/dRBuNZqk2S0d7MncvmTiWCVFIlZ2od2FgCLcBGAsYHQ/s640/PiecesOfUsMini_02.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
I knew I wanted the pages to have a uniform feel to read like a story book so I laid out the text pages and just replicated them for each day. I adjusted the size of the digital frame and colored the inside in a soft pink shade and then copied in my text for each day. All of the text I used came directly from the captions of the photos I shared on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/babz510/" target="_blank">Instagram</a> as the week progressed. There were two days I added in additional text and you will see that text separated by some dashes. The grey set of word strip stickers had the days of the week on it so I decided to use those to label each photo or text as you will see as you look on.<br />

<br />
I really loved how this turned out and I'm so glad that I participated in the project. It really made me think about how I can be kinder to myself and also the importance of sharing more stories about me too. I know that this project is going to stick with me for awhile and I love that.<br />
<br />

I will be part of the Ali Edwards Design team for this next year. I have admired Ali's way of storytelling and documenting for many, many years now so being part of her design team is a full circle moment for me. I'm so excited to work with her kits and products this year along with these amazing women.<br />

<br />
Here are the projects I made this month, the first is using the digital version of the List Story Kit. Our wedding anniversary is this month so I decided to look back on some of the fun moments we shared this past year, our 20th anniversary year.<br />

<br />
I enlarged and edited some of the journaling cards to fit my 8.5" x 11" canvas and created a collage of photos on the left side. I printed some elements separately so I could lift them off the page for some added dimension.<br />

<br />
For the right side I cut the large numbers using the digital files out of vellum for some transparency and texture and I like how this turned out. It was super fun looking back on some of the fun things we have done this past year.<br />

<br />
My next project was using the February Stories by the Month kit. I made an insert for my pocket page album of all of our fun Valentines Day photos, we had so much fun celebrating this day.<br />

Lastly was a travelers notebook spread using the January Stories by the Month digital kit. I created a simple pocket by printing out the background twice, once on photo paper and again on vellum. I stitched the vellum on top of the photo paper to create the pocket and slipped in some photos I cut into tags.<br />

Take care,<br />

The last few days of my December Daily® album are always the most photo heave so its always fun to work on these days.<br />
<br />
Day 21 was our first ever Ugly Christmas sweater party and we had a blast dressing up and it was such a fun and festive evening I wanted the pages to reflect that. I created a really simple slip pocket to hold the photos on the left by simple cutting around the digital text with an exacto knife. I love how the word art lays on top of our photo.<br />

Day 22 was our marathon baking day, we baked so much in one day and had the best time. I snapped a few photos while we were working but then took a photo of the finished cookies after, that's always the fun part anyway. I edited the photo so it would span both pages and then simple cut the photo like the previous day to slip in some photo strips of the working photos.<br />

Day 23 was a super busy day getting all of the last minute stuff done so it was pretty story focused and I didn't really have a photo to pair with it but I did save this super cute bingo game that Target had posted to their Instagram story. I thought it was a good match for my story and helped illustrate all of the things that we had done this month. I cut a thin piece of transparency to cover the image and that way I could mark off the spaces with the star stickers but it could still be lifted to reveal the graphics below. (Oh and I did correct and reprint my journaling after I photographed this when I realized I actually had six bingo's and not four.)<br />

Products Used: Ali Edwards gold numbers, Paislee Press digital file, Studio Calico gold star stickers, Felicity Jane tab die cut, Kelly Purkey Shop stamp.<br />

Day 24 Christmas Eve, it was a busier day that we have had in awhile so lots of things to share and capture. I was working with the back of Day 23 so it ended up being the perfect place to play with some new digital files from Kerri Bradford. I also created another fold out page to hold lots of photos and lots of text.<br />
<br />
Products Used: Ali Edwards gold number, Paislee Press mini kit felt star and chipboard, Kerri Bradford Block Party digital stamps, Minc gold foil, In A Creative Bubble digital file, gold star I cut myself.<br />

Day 25 is always a super photo heavy day for me so I was glad to have that star pocket from Ali Edwards. I really loved that and hope she makes them again. The left side were funny snapchat photos we took in the evening and thought they were super fun and needed to be included.<br />

I still haven't decided how or if I will capture our Elf photos this year. As you may have read this year was a transition year so Simone actually helped a little with the elf fun. It might be a good idea to talk about that transition so if I end up making something with them I'll be back to share. I still haven't put away all of my stuff yet so I need to do that soon. I'm also hoping to film a walk thru and will post it here when I do that.<br />
<br />
Thanks as always for being here and following along.<br />
<br />
Take Care,<br />

<br />
Day 16 is an entry about our tree which ended up making a few appearances in the album but this one entry is specifically about it. Its always hard to showcase the whole tree so I've given up on that and just snap some pics that will show the overall look and placement in our home. Its those kinds of things that I think I'll want to remember years from now, not necessarily every ornament on the tree.<br />
<br />
Products Used: Ali Edwards gold number, Tim Holtz words strip, Kelly Purkey Shop digital journaling card, gold stars and enamel dots from my stash<br />

I enlarged the journaling card and printed it out on vellum so that it could be turned separately. I typed up my journaling so that it would fit inside the shape of the tree and I love how that peeks thru.<br />

I completely and utterly dropped the ball on posting my finished December Daily® pages and I'm glad to finally be able to do that. I did okay as far as keeping up but I really wasn't that worried about finishing on December 26th so I worked on my pages when I had time and since it takes some time to do, and then photograph and edit and post, things here on the blog fell by the wayside. I did manage to keep up on posting them to my Instagram so if you have already seen the pages, this will be maybe a better look at them than in that tiny space.<br />
<br />
Day 10 is always about my daughters birthday so lots of fun stuff to include on that day. I wanted to include more than just one photo and ended up creating a fold out piece that allowed for more photos to live underneath and I love the texture of this page. To create the color and black and white image I had the same image on two separate layers, the color layer underneath the black and white layer and I just erased the area of the number balloons from the top black and white layer so the color layer below would show.<br />
<br />
Products Used: Paislee Press digital papers, journaling cards and mini kit felt stars, Ali Edwards gold numbers, Crate Paper gold starts, Studio Calico gold puffy alpha stickers and word strip, ball fringe is from my stash and I cut the gold stars using a metal die and gold foil paper.<br />

Day 06 was a fun night out to a Christmas Concert, it was super fun and probably our only Santa picture we will take this year. To create this page I sewed a transparency into a pocket and then made a little booklet to hold the words and photos from the night. I attached the tickets and a gift tag to the outside cover of the booklet so they would dangle outside of the pocket.<br />
<br />
Products Used: Maggie Holmes Shine transparency sewn into a pocket, FaLaLa gift tag from Mari Mari, Kelly Purkey shop December Words 02 stamp set, Sahlin Studio digital journaling card<br />

Day 07 was a busy Saturday and I had a lot to include but decided to limit it to just two photos and the written text about the day. I printed and cut the photos in a tag shape and created the journaling tag myself using the printable of the Kelly Purkey shop December Details kit paper.<br />

Day 08 was a fun day out celebrating my daughters birthday with her best friend. The gold number 8 is attached to the journaling card so that it pulls out from behind the photos. I cut a piece of paper large enough to cover the backside of the journaling card and the gold number. I fussy cut around the number so that it didn't show and attached it to the backside of both for stability.<br />
<br />
Products Used: Sahlin Studios at The Lilypad digital elements from the White Christmas collection including paper and die cut banner and the digital frame is from the InstaFrames set, Kelly Purkey Shop December Details kit journaling card, Ali Edwards gold number, the gold and red stars were cut by me with a metal die and paper<br />

Getting a slower start than normal on my December Daily® but its all good. I blame the two days between Thanksgiving and December, what kind of hell was that!! OMG its the worst. We spent the two days getting our tree and decorating it and the house. Once that was done I was able to take breathe and think about this project. I'm working outside of the page protectors again this year which means layouts need a bit more time and energy to think about but I'm okay with it because its part of the fun for me.<br />
<br />
Day 01 is always about Advent Calendars and our Elf arrives.<br />

I really, really hate when Thanksgiving is so late but I'm doing my best to keep calm and just let it happen and role with it. I just finished all of the creative assignments I have for the month and I'm ready to clear my desk off and set up my supplies for my TENTH December Daily® album. That seems like such a big milestone but man do I still love this project so much.<br />

<span style="color: #222222;"><span style="background-color: white;">As normal I'm not prepping anything in advance other than my cover page. I know I will do more intro pages because I plan to use a lot of <a href="https://kellypurkeyshop.com/collections/kits/products/december-details-kit?aff=2" target="_blank">Kelly Purkey's December Details kit</a> and there are a lot of papers in that kit I want to include. I'm not going to worry too much about that just yet but I did sit down and make a cover page for my album the other day. This idea has been floating around in my head for the past few weeks and I kind of love when that happens. I can mentally work out the details prior to sitting down to work. </span></span><br />
<span style="color: #222222;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #222222;"><span style="background-color: white;">I knew I wanted to use the <a href="https://kellypurkeyshop.com/collections/stamp-sets/products/fifth-ave-outline?aff=2" target="_blank">Fifth Avenue Outline stamp set</a> on the cover and I decided to stamp and emboss it in red glitter embossing powder on vellum. </span></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">I just love how the red pops off the page. After stamping everything </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">I fussy cut the numbers out, not worrying about the number centers. I used a sheet from the </span><a href="https://kellypurkeyshop.com/collections/digital-products/products/holiday-december-details-bw-6x8-printable-pages?aff=2" target="_blank">Black and White December Details kit printables</a><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"> so that I could enlarge it to 7" x 8.25". I like my cover pages to cover all the contents behind and while I don't think I will use page protectors this year (like last year) I always want</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"> to make sure things will be covered up. </span><br />

<br />
I dressed up the rest of the cover using white and gold letter beads and some sequins. Friendship bracelets have been a big thing in our home this year and it was a way for me to pay homage to that with this project. I just love how that little banner turned out so don't be surprised if you see more beads in this album.<br />

I love having people over for any occasion be it baking parties, cocktail parties, movie parties, or pretty much just about any type of party. I'm always ready and willing to host it. I think that comes from us having so many family members that live far away, my friends become my family so I love hosting them whenever I can.<br />
<br />
This past Christmas we were lucky enough to have family in town for Christmas which is super rare. Our favorite way to celebrate Christmas Eve is to have a huge cocktail and appetizer night so that's what we did.<br />
<br />

Luckily for me Kelly designed the perfect stamp set that ties in to my favorite entertaining appetizer these days, cheeseboards or cheese plates. I love a good grazing opportunity and have really dug right into the cheeseboard trend and all that that entails. For this spread I used the <a href="https://kellypurkeyshop.com/collections/holiday-products/products/around-the-table?aff=2" target="_blank">Around the Table stamp set</a>, the <a href="https://kellypurkeyshop.com/collections/holiday-products/products/warm-cozy-kit?aff=2" target="_blank">Warm and Cozy kit</a> and the base papers are from the <a href="https://kellypurkeyshop.com/collections/new-for-october/products/october-travelers-notebook-kit-we-are-framily?aff=2" target="_blank">We Are F(r)amily Travelers Notebook kit</a>.<br />

I knew the focal point of this layout was going to be the cheese plate masterpiece stamp and of course the cheese stamps. I used the platter that was part of the turkey stamp and then just stamped and fussy cut out the cheeses and the wine bottles. They layered perfectly on top of the platter and the plaid card base from the <a href="https://kellypurkeyshop.com/collections/holiday-products/products/warm-cozy-kit?aff=2" target="_blank">Warm and Cozy kit</a> was the perfect focal point for the stamped cluster.<br />

I used some Tim Holtz Flip Frame pockets to create the flip up and printed my photos to size. I love the interactive aspect and it allowed for three photos to accompany the story. There is one on the back too.<br />

The journaling was printed on vellum with some more stamping up top in the available space. I love the little houses and the different greenery stamps on the <a href="https://kellypurkeyshop.com/collections/holiday-products/products/warm-cozy-kit?aff=2" target="_blank">Warm and Cozy stamp set</a>. There are so many options on what you can make besides the simple greenery bough I made. </div>

First up is a spread I made to document some friends that are like family using the <a href="https://kellypurkeyshop.com/collections/new-for-october/products/october-travelers-notebook-kit-we-are-framily?aff=2" target="_blank">We Are F(r)amily travelers notebook kit</a>. I loved the sentiment behind this stamp set because we definitely have some friends that have become our family. I always love Kelly's pre-designed pages, it makes things come together super fast when all you have to do is fill boxes and add some text!<br />

<br />
I stamped the text out and used a 5/8" circle punch to punch them each out. I poked holes on either side and then strung them up like beads using some embroidery floss. I just loved how this turned out and it really made the page pop.<br />

When the stamp set arrived and I started playing with it the stamped Santa's seemed to be dancing across the page. I knew I wanted to stamp them and fussy cut them out and make something non traditional with them.<br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, tahoma, helvetica, freesans, sans-serif; font-size: 13.2px; font-style: italic;">Note: </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, tahoma, helvetica, freesans, sans-serif; font-size: 13.2px; font-style: italic;">This post contains affiliate links, which means I receive a small </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, tahoma, helvetica, freesans, sans-serif; font-size: 13.2px; font-style: italic;">commission</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, tahoma, helvetica, freesans, sans-serif; font-size: 13.2px; font-style: italic;"> if you make a purchase using the links below.

<br />
I thought they would look super cute strung together on a garland so that's what I decided to make. There are so many fun combinations you can create with the Hipster Santa stamp set so I sat down and wrote out a list of the ones that would work for the garland. I decided to stamp two of each combo so I would have enough to stretch out across our six foot mantle. It didn't take long to fussy cut these out because the <a href="http://shrsl.com/1w3ed" target="_blank">Tim Holtz scissor</a> is so sharp and cut paper like a dream. If you don't have these scissors in your supplies, get a pair. I have three different pairs I love them so much.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-4jEHF8T1ghI/XazgaShA8lI/AAAAAAAALk0/dMlMWloQN0cGYqzw0aIMwMM6PCOBHuthwCLcBGAsYHQ/s1600/HipsterSantaBannerFull_11.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1229" data-original-width="1600" height="490" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-4jEHF8T1ghI/XazgaShA8lI/AAAAAAAALk0/dMlMWloQN0cGYqzw0aIMwMM6PCOBHuthwCLcBGAsYHQ/s640/HipsterSantaBannerFull_11.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
I knew I wanted them to have some dimension so I also stamped extras so that I could cut out the banners, the coffee cup, the cell phone and the presents. I used foam tape to add the extra piece on top of the base Santa. I love how that little touch of added dimension looks.<br />
<br />
I also picked up two bags of red and white <a href="https://www.hobbylobby.com/Christmas/Crafts/Craft-Supplies/Red-Tinsel-Pom-Poms/p/80180388" target="_blank">tinsel pom poms</a> from Hobby Lobby. Each bag has multiple sizes and I pulled out the large white and the smallest red from the bags to use on the garland. I also purchase thicker thread made for quilting and it was super easy to string them up. I opted to staple the Santa's to the thread but a little piece of washi or regular tape would have worked too.<br />
<br />

<br />
I couldn't wait to see how this would look hung up so I gathered up some of the holiday stuff I purchased for this year and set up a festive little mantle so I could snap some pictures. How cute are those darn Santa's. The tinsel pom poms really add some fun sparkle and shine.<br />

I think this could also be a super cute alternative to ribbon on your wrapped presents. I can see using some thicker twine to string the Santa's and pom poms and it would be super cute. Or at least have the Santa's dangling from gift tags.<br />

It is no secret how much I love their Life Crafted Albums so it was an absolute pleasure working with their subscription kit this month. I cannot thank them enough for asking me and I had the best time making two projects for them. The kits are just lovely and the albums are just so beautifully made and I'm having the best time filling mine up. Here is a look at the first project I made.<br />

I'm so happy that its feels like fall! I'm so in the mood after making all of these fall themed projects using the latest kits and stamps from <a href="https://kellypurkeyshop.com/collections/new-for-september?aff=2" target="_blank">Kelly Purkey Shop</a>. I'm ready to light fires, burn candles and eat all the pumpkin foods I can find.<br />
<br />
In the meantime lets get to the projects that I made shall we. First up was a super fun mini album that I made using the <a href="https://kellypurkeyshop.com/collections/new-for-september/products/life-love-paper-mini-kit-its-magic?aff=2" target="_blank">You're Magic mini kit from LifeLovePaper</a>. This kit is sooo cute and I always love Tina's Halloween kits. I use the kit along with cards from the <a href="https://kellypurkeyshop.com/collections/new-for-september/products/september-project-kit-big-days?aff=2" target="_blank">Big Days kit</a> along with papers from the <a href="https://kellypurkeyshop.com/collections/new-for-september/products/september-travelers-notebook-kit-feels-like-fall?aff=2" target="_blank">Feels Like Fall TN kit</a> and also the stamps and then stamps from the <a href="https://kellypurkeyshop.com/collections/new-for-september/products/pumpkin-spice-world?aff=2" target="_blank">Pumpkin Spice World</a> and <a href="https://kellypurkeyshop.com/collections/new-for-september/products/a-walk-in-the-forest?aff=2" target="_blank">A Walk in the Forest</a> to embellish it.<br />
<br />
I wanted it to be an accordion fold so I created the pockets first and then added hinges created with folded cardstock to the back of each page. I covered the front as you will see below and just covered the backs of the remaining three pages with plain white cardstock to keep it clean.<br />
<br />
The base of each section is a large tag that I created and stamped with all of the stamps I mentioned above. I then clipped photos and journaling cards to each tag and then tucked them into the pockets. I love things with varying layers so this was super fun to make.<br />
<br />

<br />
This section focuses on the pre Halloween stuff like decorating and the first Pumpkin Spice latte of the season.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
This section focuses on a Halloween Movie Night party we had which was so much fun. I adored all the little black banner stamps and the witch hat stamps in the mini kit.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-R0nptUnbJvc/XY-iniS1dnI/AAAAAAAALiw/DSpUhTZYufgzmnQ5YS_Qy1FKZxvsrFdZQCLcBGAsYHQ/s1600/Halloween2018Mini_07.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1186" data-original-width="1600" height="474" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-R0nptUnbJvc/XY-iniS1dnI/AAAAAAAALiw/DSpUhTZYufgzmnQ5YS_Qy1FKZxvsrFdZQCLcBGAsYHQ/s640/Halloween2018Mini_07.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
This section focused on carving pumpkins<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-SrhpZbrXNA0/XY-ioM-krZI/AAAAAAAALi0/bIwV3or9fGQnS42mRlQG6aRKVhPIvx9zwCLcBGAsYHQ/s1600/Halloween2018Mini_09.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1197" data-original-width="1600" height="478" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-SrhpZbrXNA0/XY-ioM-krZI/AAAAAAAALi0/bIwV3or9fGQnS42mRlQG6aRKVhPIvx9zwCLcBGAsYHQ/s640/Halloween2018Mini_09.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
And lastly this section is all about Halloween itself. So much more to include here so I added in an extra photo strip and three journaling cards with photos and text.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-VRCA0Ir268Y/XY-ioqHtQOI/AAAAAAAALi4/-XMPPCGHSNAg5IYPNeXsW1ziSOTSmTEWwCLcBGAsYHQ/s1600/Halloween2018Mini_11.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1115" data-original-width="1600" height="446" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-VRCA0Ir268Y/XY-ioqHtQOI/AAAAAAAALi4/-XMPPCGHSNAg5IYPNeXsW1ziSOTSmTEWwCLcBGAsYHQ/s640/Halloween2018Mini_11.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
Here is the album all folded and you can see all the tag clusters together. The cover was embellished with items from the Crate Paper Hey Pumpkin line which ties in the with the washi tape that was included in the <a href="https://kellypurkeyshop.com/collections/new-for-september/products/life-love-paper-mini-kit-its-magic?aff=2" target="_blank">You're Magic mini kit</a> since it was from that line.<br />

When my stamps first arrived I couldn't wait to play with them so I used several including the awesome <a href="https://kellypurkeyshop.com/collections/new-for-september/products/big-days-alpha?aff=2" target="_blank">Big Days alpha </a>in my bullet journal to dress up my calendar spread.<br />

<br />
The <a href="https://kellypurkeyshop.com/collections/new-for-september/products/september-travelers-notebook-kit-feels-like-fall?aff=2" target="_blank">Feels Life Fall travelers notebook kit</a> was perfect for documting my love of Trader Joe's pumpkin foods and fussy cutting all the leaves was tedious but relaxing at the same time.<br />
