KrewKit #3 with K2R!

Here are a few photos of the latest KrewKit with Kits2Remember. I had a real pleasure working with this kit because I know my husband will thoroughly enjoy it for his first "official" Fathers Day. This time last year, Breanna was not quite here.
This KrewKit #3 features a paper line called "Time Flies." I enjoyed this paper because it works out incredibly well as Fathers Day is right around the corner!






Here are a few ideas that can be used for this paper in the kit:

  • Father's Day
  • Travel
  • Graduation
  • Birthday
  • Tribute Albums
  • Any and other specialty albums

This kit has masuline all over it, but can easily also be turned into a non-gender project as well. You easily splash other colors in with this project as I did that with a few cards I made.
I decided to do a little mini Fathers Day album basically to remind my husband that for his first Fathers Day I am honoring him for being a great father to his first baby girl. Alot of times he may feel he isn't doing the right thing, or afraid to handle her still sometimes, but he has really made a BIG effort in getting over those fears. Alot of times we need to be reminded of how much we appreciate others, whether it be a spouse, friend, relative, boss, etc.

Items I used that were NOT included in the kit:

  • Kasier Wooden Embellies
  • Fancy Pants chipboard pieces (which I chalked)

Here are some other projects that I was able to make with the KrewKit!





This was basically a little love note made with the transparencies and acrylic pieces. I am waiting for the perfect time that my hubby needs a "pick-me-up!" I can easily leave this somewhere where he will not miss it, like maybe in the seat of the car, or on top of his lunch box, or near his keys...basically to let him know, that I love him and I am here for ya!



Some cards I made:





The base for the cards (the green and red) came from Creative Imaginations.
The last project shown above, is a small little chipboard book, I put together for a friends birthday.

Dog Themed Acrylic Album




























































Here is an album that I created for K2R. It was a plain circle shaped acrylic album and it was oh so fun of course to do. How did I create this? Well I had some old Bo Bunny Papers that I used, it was originally for a dog paperbag album so I dug it out and BAM!!!

So I pulled out my famous Sharpie Poster Paint Pen, Black, Blue and White making memories paint. I used a few of my circle punchies and inked some edges...thats about it!

Thanks for looking!

He screams for Ice Cream!!!

So for those of you who know Reggie (my WONDERFUL husband), he looooves him some sweets! I think he favors Cold Stones over Baskin Robbins but if you have a deal like B&R had last night...you BETTER bet your bottom dollar, Reg showed up for the deal!

Okay...I have to set the scene...

Yesterday my parents invited us over for BBQ last night for dinner. Prior in the day, my mom and dad told Reg that Baskin Robbins had $.31 scoops of ice cream. So he was OFF all day mind you...I think he may have forgot...obviously. So..anyway, later I'm off, go pic up Reg, Bre is already at Grandmas to go eat dinner *this is about 8ish already* SO...then all of the sudden out of no where Reg busts through the back door as he had an "ah ha' moment! "Everybody's getting ice cream!!!" I'm like "What!? We came over here to eat dinner!" LOL! So I asked him, dang can we eat dinner first??? He poked out his lips...so now I am like whatever man...just go...I'm gonna eat! He poked his lips out again! I said "OKAY! I'LL WAIT!" Well...when he got there...he said the line was OUTSIDE of the building and the length of the strip mall! LOL! Well luckily on the side that 31 flavors is on only has 3 stores...

Reg calls me, here is the conversation:

Reg: Babe! It's alot of people down here!
Me: Yeah...
Reg: YEAH! They have DJ's! Firetrucks! A Sh*t load of people are out here!
Me: Yeah...really? Wow...
Reg: Dang! Well what should I do?
Me: Well babe did you get in line already?
Reg: Yeah...
Me: Well, its up to you. It's kinda cold outside, at least there is entertainment.
Reg: Yeah true...
Me: Well see where you are at in 10 minutes
Reg: Okay! Bye...

About 15-20 minutes later....
Reg: I'm still in line..
Me: Wow...really...are you in the buiilding at least?
Reg: Nope!
Me: Babe, it is really late....
Reg: I know, I got my tastebuds all ready for ice cream! Well maybe I will just go to Ralphs and
get ice cream.
Me: Babe! We have ice cream at home already!
Reg: Oh yeah thats right...well I am already in line, so I will hang around for a little while longer..

30 minutes later...
Reg: I'M INSIDE!!!
Me: Well about how many are in front of you?
Reg: Alot!
Me: Okaaay???
Reg: Man they just told me if I had bought a Togos sandwich I could had order my ice cream too and not stayed in line!
Me: Wow..sorry..

20 minutes later...he comes back to my moms....
Reg: 13 scoops for $4.00!!!!
Me: WOW! (Laughing cause he was SO excited. Then I started thinking and adding the scoops up in my head being that only 3 people got ice cream. I only asked for 3 and my mom asked for 3...leaving Reg with 6 scoops of ice cream!)
Me: REG! Thats alot of ice cream!
Reg: I know!!!! Good deal hugh!?
Me: Well dang, how many scoops did you get for yourself?
Reg: 5!
Me: What!? (I started counting out loud) Mom! You got 5 scoops too!? LOL!
Mom: No! I asked for 3!
Reg: Babe! You asked for 5!
Me: Umm...no babe I didn't! LOL! You asked me what kind I want, I said 2 scoops of Cookies & Cream and 1 Gold Medal Ribbon...
Reg: Oh...sh&t! I thought you said 5, so I got what you got!

(Oh boy)....

As we are leaving..

Reg: Stan! (my dad) You got some Immodium just in case?

LOL!

Why we didn't even eat the ice cream!? It was late!
Well you know what I am having for dessert tonight!

Thanks you everybody who donated!!!
I am really paying for the walk I did yesterday physically BUT it was for a GREAT cause so that makes me feel better! Last year I was unable to particiapte for obvious reasons..I was about 7 1/2 months pregnant, so that was out!

Anyway...it feels like I haven't done this walk forever! I swear I forgot about that BIG hill! Good thing I had my soror that helped me out! LOL!
I wasn't really sure how Breanna would do on the walk since she would be in her seat the entire time, the longest so far, but she did great!!! She is such a big girl! She was awake and then about 20 minutes into the walk...she was done!

Before....


After.... (missing my picture!) =( Will insert later....

Here is me and my long time friend and coworker Laurie! We met up a few times during the walk. She was also walking with her good friends Jodi & Ruby, which I hadn't seen them in YEARS! I told Laurie that I would like to finish the walk no later than 11am....and guess what...we finished it about 30 minutes before 11am! We were on a roll! Don't get me wrong....it was for a wonderful cause BUT! The weather! It was just HOT out of nowhere! LOL! So that was the rough part...We started the walk about 8:30, 8:45 and we did the 6 miles in little over 2 hours, it was great!

So...what else....did I mention already that I was sore? Honestly...it feels like someone has spready my legs as far as they could possibly go in opposite directions! And to top it off after my adrenaline settled down..I was walking like I was about to re-deliver Breanna! I am feeling alot better today thank God! =)

My Lovely Sorors from Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, INC! We showed up in numbers! Members of Epsilon Sigma, undergraduate chapter, Pi Zeta Zeta chapter, Pearlettes and Amicettes were all there representing!




After we were done, I really couldn't wait to get home, shower and wash my face and get all the dried up salt (from my sweat) off my face! Of course when I get home, Breanna already had her nap so she is ready to play! LOL! I thought maybe if I lay her down with me and watch TV or something she would be cool and mellow...NOPE! She was climbing on me, crawling over me, stepping on me...trying to dive off my bed! But the girl was tired thats the funny thing. SO...obviously that wasn't working! So what I did was nicely picked her up, grabbed her paci (pacifier), and her fav blanket...put her in her bed...I peeked in their twice and she was standing up, looking at herself in the mirror of her closet doors. The 3rd time I walked in there, she was kinda kneeling down...so I let went back and did the dishes. 4th time I walked in there this is what I saw...




I was laughing SO hard, I had to quietly run out the room! Bre has a habit of sitting up in her bed and falling sleep...here I guess she kinda just fell forward and her head fit nicely inthe corner! I came back in after I regained my composure and gently pulled her legs from underneath her....hilarious! Love it...She had a LONG morning and was exhausted as well as mama! Bre's first of MANY community services!

Until next year!

Recent Layouts...

There they are....double trouble...oh boy...watch out!
"She looks like her daddy!" I hear this maybe 20 times in a week....but thats okay, my comeback is...you can't see her brains, but my girl is pretty intelligent! Don't let her age fool ya! You can't see the resemblance? Seriously...go get your glasses, stop being ridiculous! LOL!



Will the guilty party please step forward? Who in the world had my camera!? The pointer has been pointed to Mr. Jaxon, Breanna's soon to be 3 year old cousin. Man, I have a feeling these 2 will be in trouble together when Bre gets a little older!


This is the layout I did to show off Breanna's "SuperBaby" cape! I wear she knew she had on a cape and that it held some sort of super powers or something. Anyway, Reg brought this back from Six Flags Magic Mountain when he took Uncle N8 there for his birthday. Used the Love, Elsie papers...I like. =)

Check it out! K2R Krew Kit's are Here!









Well here it is! Your 1st look at the very first KrewKit! Me and the Krew have been working away at our projects! I had fun with this because it was something different for me...

Yes, if you can;t tell already, I think I am becoming an acrylic junkie, but I think I will place the blame on Jessica with K2R because she showed me the ropes with this stuff! So if you are reading Jessica...how could you do this to me?? Anyway...


The papers that are used in this kit come from a brand new line that was introduced at CHA called Paper Trunk! First time I saw them, I knew it would be a favorite...so like any other insane scrapper, I just grabbed every paper they had in the collection, not really knowing what I was going to do with it, BUT I did know it was pretty cute! So why not I figured! Next thing I know....our first KrewKit project included Paper Trunk! Yahooo!!!!


In the kit also included that cool funky little wheel and how cute it turned out!


In my project I used Making Memories acylic paint, (the orange, green, red), my white poster paint Sharpie Pen, of course some exctra buttons and I used felt shaped butterfly (can you see the antennae)...my girlfriend made it for me.. =)


Are you wondering what comes in the KrewKit? Well here ya go:


  • Double sided printed paper from Paper Trunk

  • The COOl spinning chipboard wheel from Paper Trunk

  • 8x8 Acrylic Album from Clear Scraps

  • 5 yards of decorative ribbon

  • Chipboard Flowers

  • and of course some other embellies!
For more inspiration on this kit, the K2R Design Team will be showing their take on the project! We all came up with some great projects! Take a look for yourself!

The KrewKits are limited, make sure you order yours today!


If you have any questions please feel free to ask away.

Layouts from the "No Shopping Challenge"










Here are a few of my most recent layouts that I have done on the "No Shopping Challenge" that my Yahoo group is doing! We are all challenging ourselves to the max and we are all doing a great job! Basically if you are not too sure what a No Shopping Challenge is...well the name speaks for itself! Basically the idea is to try and use from your stash at home instead of buying...
The theory is good, but what happens after the challenge is over? Thats what I am worried about, because I already have some what of a mental list as to items I need to get! Anyhow...I hope you enjoy! Have a great weekend!
