Kiri’s Kreation 2

Here is a second card created by 11 year old Kiri. She has fallen in love with Lawn Fawn (taking after her mother perhaps) and of course she loves all things cats! So when she asked to be able to choose a stamp set from Simon Says Stamp for her birthday she quickly decided on the adorable kitties from Honeybee Stamps. Kiri has also gotten very good at both ink blending (cloudy sky backgrounds are her favourites) and colouring using COPIC markers. I really do love sharing all my craft supplies with my talented daughter. It is so much fun sharing our crafty passion with each other. 



Well done Kiri - I know you had fun creating. I can’t wait to see the next thing you design. Soon we will set up your own blog if you keep enjoying this!

Kiri’s Kreation 1

Today I am sharing a sweet little card that my 11 year old daughter designed and created. I guess you never are to old to start crafting and enjoying it. 
While I was outside doing yard work Kiri got her creative juices flowing creating a birthday card using her own stamp set that she just received that she ordered with her Birthday money. 


Kiri asked me to post this so that she could enter it in the Simon says kids challenge. What a perfect challenge for kids - what kid doesn’t like shine and sparkle? For Kiri she used her sparkling silver washi tape. 


I am sure we will more from Kiri - she is now asking me if she can have her own crafty blog - who knows - maybe I have created a monster 😂!
Enjoy Kiri - you will love this crafty past time. I love seeing your sense of Color and design.

Birthday Wishes Pink Fresh Style

Just when I thought that I couldn’t love anything as much as the Pink Fresh Studio amazing stencils I got my very first Pink Fresh Studio Washi Tape - and I am completely wowed!!
Seriously- if you haven’t tried their washi tape - what are you waiting for?! I already know which one I am getting next. I absolutely love the one I got. I was enamoured with the blue mauve and gorgeous gold so my first washi tape purchase had to be the Anemone Magic. 
Here is a look at my card. 


I used the largest floral from the Washi Tape as the focal point which I popped up on foam tape and placed it on a piece of Pink Fresh Paper. The little leaf sprigs behind it are also from Pink Fresh as is the sentiment Birthday Wishes - it came from an older large set - Spring Florals. And I added a little butterfly sticker to the top. 


Look at that gorgeous gold.

Thinking of You with Butterflies

I had some play time with my Pink Fresh Studio stencils with matching die and stamps. What better place to do some inking than at the lake cabin. This floral comes from the lovely Be Strong set. 


The  Butterfly die cuts in the corners come from the free gift from the magazine Die-Cutting Essentials (issue 76). 
The green sprigs are also a little die from Pink Fresh Studio.

Hello Embossed Butterfly Card

This was a quick card that I created using the PinkFresh Layered Sunburst Stencil set to emboss the background paper.  On top of that I used the Pinkfresh leafy branch as well as some little butterflies and the hello die cut from my stash. 
I was happy with how this turned out for a quick card.

Congratulations Wedding Card

I am sharing this card I created for a very special couple for their wedding shower. 


I can not say enough how much I love the amazing stamp stencil die coordinating pieces from Pink Fresh Studio! They are this crafters dream! Stencilling them is so much fun being able to choose the colors and watch them come to life. The die cut that is an all 1 piece item is such a great feature! The Be strong stencil and die set used here is my first set I have purchased. And I am not sorry to say that there are many more heading my way soon! I also enjoyed pairing it with the sunburst background stencil.  I was so happy with the way this turned out that I will be making a few more of these cards - perhaps in different color  schemes just to see. 


I will be entering this card in the Pink Fresh July challenge that is about using  butterflies on the piece.

Love These Moments Layout

As I continue to plug away working on my many scrapbooks I have on the go I came across a couple of special pictures of me and my Gram. This was taken the day of her 99th birthday! I can’t even imagine living to 99 let alone the amazing 105.5 years that made up her amazing life. And she was sharp right up until the very end. I think all of the reading and writing that she did kept her mind so on top of things. 



The Pink Fresh Studio embellishments I used for this layout consisted of the beautiful butterfly digital cut file, the inks and watercolours on the background, ephemera from the Keeping it Real collection, jewels and some die cuts from the leafy branch die.
