::: |jbs november kit| :::

I did these layouts with the JBS November kit. I love Jenni's classic lines. I've been loving paint splatters lately and it shows thru these projects. I also fell in love with the fur ribbon I picked up at Michael's. More of that to come along with my Holiday decor. Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving.

We went to Boo at the Zoo this weekend and Aniyah had a blast......besides me being so cold! Brrr! The Scooby-Doo show was really good and so was the trick-or-treating. We got a chance to go see Puss in Boots Friday night and that was a good movie. Love having family time.

I like how Keisha Campbell separates her blog posts by dashes, equal signs, lines etc so it makes for better flow so this is definitely her idea.

I got to do a few projects with my JBS kit this month.  I've been so busy that I haven't had much time and I'm working on my Halloween album. Hope to have a few pics of it this week to share.

I love stamping on tags, and using tags on projects which is another love I got from Keisha Campbell.

few pics and jbs september kit

  
This was another kit that I loved and I'm loving black butterflies for some reason right now. I've been trying differnt approaches to taking pics of my layouts. Just trying to figure out how to get true to color and clear images. I've taken pics before on my glass desk or my craft table and I used a mirror I had this time to see how the pics would turn out------------------------------------------I think I like it but I need more practice on how to get the right pictures.

so ready for Halloween....can you tell?

Had to pick up the 2011 Halloween Vintage Craft kit today from Jenni's mid-month release. Not sure what I'm planning to do with it yet but it's a must have..................go grab one for yourself HERE!

jbs august

  
I totally loved the kit this month....absolute love! I ran into a paperpack sale at Hobby Lobby that had all their paper pads 50% off so I grabbed the Fancy Pants "it's the little things" pack because I loved the papers in this kit.  I couldn't cut up the vintage receipt so I used it on top of one of my favorite papers...I love it in the background. August 8th was her first day of school.

I stamped the medallion in versa mark with amercian crafts gold glitter embossing powder.

New scrap space that I'm loving working in now. I had to take over the kitchnen nook but I'm loving having access to natural lighting and a connection to our family area.

jbs june projects & Happy Father's Day

I loved everything about this month's kit. The butterflies were perfect and the new line was fun to work with.

This layout is just a sneak. I snapped it quickly before the lighting went out but I'll post it updated later.

 

I used both the new ruler stamp and the torn paper stamp on this layout.

 







I couldn't resist the border Keisha created on one of her layouts. I just had to re-create it for this one.  Oh, and Keisha is such an enabler, I had to run to JoAnn's for the button sale as well

We had a quiet Father's Day. I cooked a big Sunday Dinner and just spent time around the house. I'm working on a few things using my June SC kit and hopefully I'll have a few pics to post this week/weekend. Have a great week.

 

aniyah's room

 

I normally always change Aniyah's room each summer that she's gone so I decided to post some before pictures and then I'll post the updates later. Her room changes will be simple but I keep adding/taking away and purging things. Ms. Princess the Frog has been around since last year for Aniyah's birthday. She had a Princess and the Frog party at the bowling ring.

Aniyah is so fascinated with alarm clocks. For some reason she feels its necessary to have one to wake up.

I love Aniyah's butterfly lamp.

Her shelves definitely won't stay the same.

Her desk area will change.

She loves Spongebob

Another layout made with the JBS May kit.

JBS May Kit

I just loved May's kit this year. I really loved the colors in last month's kit and I can't wait to dive into this month's kits. I'm still so far behind with my Calico kits so I only have three layouts this time and a card but I'm hoping to back track and get those done along with some project kits I've neglected and several other things. I'm staying home this weekend so I'll be spending all weekend crafting and catching up on things that I need to be doing.

I love the new stamps that are out now so I used it and my martha stewart punch.

I love Talipia and we eat it all the time. One of my favorite meals with a squeeze of lemon juice on top.
