Kelly!!!! Congrats on your new blog! I love the tutorial!!!! I love your 2-page layout. I soooooo wish I lived closer so I could attend one of your classes. You are always so creative and artistic! I am a follower now and can’t wait to see more, my friend!
Oh Kelly!!!! ROFL, so sorry but your writing just cracks me up!! You should put the empties back in there with a thinly-veiled threat about being grounded for the next 10 years 😉 Ughh.. not looking forward to the teenage years! Good luck and so glad you’ve got a blog now!!
This is such an awesome LO Kelly!! I’ve had my eye on that Sticky-Back Canvas for a while now, think I’m going to bump it up on the wish list after seeing this! It’s really beautiful and creative 🙂
Kelly this is so gorgeous. I am a quilter and I can see where some of my quilt skills could be transitioned into this medium. Thanks for the tutorial and look forward to the next one. And BTW I am still working on my 1st blog, checking out others and research etc. It’s a real job!??! Congrats on getting yours going!
Woohoo!!!! Way to go Kelly! Sooooo proud of you girlfriend…you finally just grabbed the bull by the horns and dove in!!!!Love from your #1 { or at least your FIRST follower heehee} XO
OMG! the little varmit! This is waaaay worse than my creme de menthe incident haha…altho at least you got to crack yours open and drink it and didn’t have to throw out the bottle cuz someone else’s kid had their lips around your bottle haha.
Oh Kelly – what a nightmare! It is hilarious that you would link the beer & the bear. Glad to hear you got rid of his “stash” and yes, of course you can blame it on his dad! Keep up the good work – I can’t wait for your next post.
Congratulations Kelly – the wait was worth it! You have done a fabulous job on your first post – a layout, a tutorial and great writing. I am so proud of you and can’t wait to read and see more of your beautiful work.
You are so funny… yet I feel bad that you are stressed! This definitely does not make me look forward to the teenage years. And now why I see why you have so little time to scrap. Having teens will keep you busy! Tell him that you have to drink all of his beer because he is underage. LOL Many hugs xoxo
Good for you Kelly…learn to enjoy and savor that one day a month. It provides you with a little “me time” which we all need from time to time. It will also make your family realize just how much you do for them. Enjoy my friend and soak in that bubble bath until you shrivel up like a prune! Sandi
LOL!! You always make me smile. :o) Enjoy the time alone and RELAX!! How lovely it is to not have to cook or clean or be a chauffeur! Read a nice book and take a long bubble bath. xoxo
Great post Kelly! No need to call it selfishness; I prefer self-preservation. Keep up the good work; you have a gift for humour. Can’t wait to keep reading about your adventures.
You are tooo funny… but absolutely right, on the money, in the zone… enjoy it, you deserve it! Thanks for being my first follower! Honey I about fell over… glad to be here, yours is so cute, see ya soon!
Oh sweetie your sense of humor is what is gonna keep you going… it seems like the world will end with teenagers right now, but believe it or not there will come a time when you will tell this story and laugh and really think it is funny! It might be when he is a grown man with teenagers of his own and comes to you for advise… and you just laugh!!! I wouldn’t go back for anything but life is short and he will grow up… I know because I now have a teenage grandaughter doing the same things and when her mother (my daughter) calls… I just laugh!
Hahahaha! That is too funny! Where DOES she get it from??? Hmmmmmm… LOL. I was doing the same until I realized that I had YEARS worth of magazines that I never once reread a second time. :o)
You forgot to mention that she has also inherited your stunning good looks. I love the line “ready to laugh at her own mistakes”. Wonder where she gets that from?
OMG too funny!!! I ride my son (8 years old) for being messy about something and then do it myself too. We’re just trying to make them better than us, right? LOL
HAHA Kelly….I am sooo glad that you have a blog….I love reading your posts. I am with you on this one….can see lots of benefits if you are the “numero uno”. Keep us posted…may soon be doing my own interviews!
You are tooo funny! I will be married for 35 years on June 26th and I think about a month into our marriage I announced that we needed a wife… well this model is starting to breaking down now, so he may seriously be giving that some thought soon! And I love to hear that somebody else starts organizing/cleaning whenever Hoarders comes on, I thought I may be the only anal intentive out here!
Truer words were never spoken. Every modern woman needs a wife or two. It would be very interesting to hear what your daughter thinks about the 4 wives/1 husband situation.
you are an amazing writer I can’t stop laughing!!! love it! thanks Kelly for sharing what it’s really like living with a teenager!…. not looking forward to it!
Too funny!! At least your prepared. My grandpa taught me to drive and when we started I needed to back out of the driveway and had it in drive instead of reverse…I almost ran over my grandma! He looked at me like I was trying to kill her…I’m really surprised he even taught me after that! lol
I am glad that I am lurking your blog for more posts because this one is hilarious. Please keep your emergency kit handy – I have a feeling you are going to need it.
Chris says I’m creepin and since he drives like his Daddy (the photographer out to be the first at a scene) I tend to scream. “Stop”, “Slow down”, “I’m not paying your ticket”. Honestly, I just want us to make it home alive. . . where I break out the White Zinfandel.
Amen! This Father’s Day morning, Bob got a call from Chris (who now lives in an apartment 3 miles away with 2 other “boys”) that his car would not start. Bob went right over and the car started. I’m glad Chris gave his Dad a present yesterday (courtesy of Mom transferring money electronically into his account so he’d have the funds). I’m still waiting for the other son to call his Dad. . .
I think Mark Twain also knew that other parents need consolation while waiting for their smart children to get smarter. The photo of your husband and BG is fabulous.
Oh my word, this is the first (and likely only) time I’ve ever heard the concept of sister wives described in a way that I could thoroughly get behind. Seriously entertaining post – thank you for the much needed chuckle! 🙂
Haha… you’re too funny. I have a 13 year old son who is already too cool for everything. I’m dreading when he turns 16 and I being the genius that I am decided to have 4 children, so I still have to go through it 3 more times…what was I thinking…lol
very cool one :), well thanks for the invite, I will follow you and would like to invite you too 🙂 Mayby in the next couple of days I will meet you in S-shop?
LOL…I so can relate!! 3 teens in the house right now, 1 learning to drive now and the other this year. I often ask myself the same question as Melisa…what was I thinking.
You´re sooo funny my friend I´m still laughing LOL!!! And I´m totally agree with you Those hone calls uffffff….. LOL! Well yesterday was first day of winter here and it was sooo cold. So I made some of my assignments layouts for next days…
I also loved the title and your quick explanation as even though I know there is NO WAY you are near 50 – it did sound a little like a birthday celebration! You are so funny – I love it!
Kelly!! You’re so funny!!! It will be great fun to follow you here. I have started a blog too and slowly learning my way around. SLOWLY!!! Ooooooooo is cool but I see we all like that so Aaaaaaaaa is also cool……I’m only playing silly cause I live all the way over NZ and I’m sure postage is insane!!! Have a great weekend Kelly.xx
Hey Kelly, Well I am a follower of every one of your FUNNY posts! (You were my 1st… that doesn’t sound right does it?) And all I have to say right now is… Ooooooooooo! And I am not speechless to often! pendrasplace.blogspot.com
Love your blog. I’m making a class set of bookmarks for the end of the year and I’m using your ‘3 Peas’ for inspiration. It’s so beautiful. I’m going to lift it later for my kids, too. Thanks for the contest.
I just wanted to stop by and say thank you very much for visiting my blog on the Jessica Sprague blog hop. You’re welcome back any time! I have lots of free digital template freebies and I love making new friends.
Oooooo! *Ogle*, *Ogle*, *Ogle*!!! They are all lovely giveaway choices, but my favourite one is the one with the Glitz Vintage rub-ons that I “oooooo’d” over.
Of course, we knew you’re not 50! But if you had been, you’d make a lot more people anxious to get there!
Congrats Kelly… will you remember us little people when you make it big? Seriously you deserve this, and I think you did great on your interview and your work they displayed was beautiful!!! Way to go!
Beautiful layout Kelly! It was so clever to use the black & white photos with this paper – they look like they were made to go together. You say the layout is simple; I say it is simply gorgeous.
Love the layout of your kids. You know the oldest girl looks like you! Great design. Like the chippies. Great photos with the kids heads all tiled in the same direction.
Oh my Kelly, your work is so detailed and beautiful! And what a beautiful collection of papers, definitely will check them out. Also, thanks for stopping by my blog! Your sweet comment is very much appreciated. I saw your layout “Fragments” in the most recent issue of the Somerset scrapbook magazine and WOW! I was blown away not only by your craft work, but by the beautiful way to pay a tribute to your dad. I feel so privileged to have read that story and to look at your artwork!!!
You most certainly get an A+. Thanks for the big belly laugh. I chuckled throughout this post. You are such a great writer and a great mom. I love the nicknames for your kids.
Oh yes, those long lazy days of summer. You have so aptly captured the ups & downs of having the children out of their regular routine. When you are serving the cocktails, mine is the pretty pink one!
Wonderful work Kelly! Love the two pager and your kids are gorgeous!! That pp line looks fab. and I really love your design. Thanks for stopping by my blog too. So appreciated!
Gorgeous photo and a beautiful layout. I love how you layered the scalloped border inside the flowers. The inked flower is the perfect finishing touch.
I saw this today on SB.com… I was stunned silent, which doesn’t happen very often! It is so beautiful… or as I think I put it “Girly Gorgeous”! I have got to get some of this paper and the trim… but I don’t think mine will look this good! TFS! And I just want to say thanks for the chance for the great giveaway… pick me! (and you are such a tease… drum roll please, NEXT WEEK… tease!!) Please check my blog I have something there for you on Sweet Blog Award post… pendrasplace.blogspot.com Hope you are having a great holiday weekend!
Saw this in the store yesterday and it is fabulous! Great work! I loved the circles even more when I saw them in person. I am always amazed how fabulous layouts can look even better in person!
I just love you Kelly! You always know how to make me smile…. no…. you always know how to make me laugh my booty off even when I am feeling BLAH. I adore your random.org technology and the generator. I almost spit my coffee onto the computer screen. LOL. Thanks for all of the love you have left me on my blog, FB, sb.com (can we say stalker?) :o) I still haven’t created a pinterest account yet but am hoping to this weekend. TTYS and enjoy your weekend! xoxo
Oh man!!!! I missed out on this giveaway darn it! But I’m glad I was able to see your hilarious “Random.Org” drawing!!! You crack me up! Congrats on hitting the big 5-0!!!!!! LOL
Thank you Kelly, you really made my day today. And I really want to thank Random.org for picking me, you are my kind of technological company!!! (You really crack me up!) I don’t have any BoBunny, how can anyone not have any… but I don’t so thanks honey! Look forward to making something with it and adding your cute (and nutty) post here, that’s a story of it’s own!!!
Hi Kelly, Just had to say how I loved your random.org!!!!So cool to show us that.Love how you make us all smile. Congrats to all the winners. I know we love that yummy feeling when the posty comes!! Cheers…..
Now I really get to say, “Ooooooooooh!!” and I will add a “yipeeeeeeeeeee!” THANKS so much, Kelly. How fun. I really like the generator…it sure doesnt look like Thing, and that is a good thing! LOL xoxoxox
LOL—this story kind of reminds me of one winter when my dad followed footprints in the backyard, only to discover a case of beer buried under the freshly fallen snow. My 16 year old brother was so busted….lol My brother is 50 now but still it’s one of our favorite ‘busted’ memories. I won’t even go into any of mine =)
I must be the paranoid one of the group. I always clean a hotel bathroom room before I will even consider stepping one foot in the tub…lol And, I’ll admit this here but nowhere else, I even bring my own towels. I have my own idea of what ‘clean’ is and, even on a vacation (or a business trip), I can’t escape it. I know how much this makes me sound like a germ freak—but honest I’m not–all I need is just one second of thinking how many butts those towels have come in contact with, and I can’t stand it…lol
This quote from Mark Twain is so true. I often thought the same kinds of things as I got older. It seems the older I get, the smarter my parents get. I had a (much younger) coworker ask me recently if there was anything I missed about my teenage years. I told him (and that my Dad could verify it) the one thing I missed was knowing everything and having an answer for everything. It seems the older I get, I realize there are days I don’t know jack.
I just purchased this paper a couple of days ago and went searching online today to check out some projects with this beautiful paper. Google is how I found you =) LOVE what you made!! I also love your blog—your style of writing is fantastic!
mmmm… Earl grey with milk and sugar. Just my style! Although I also love my coffee and wine… Have you tried cream of earl grey – it is a loose leaf tea that is fantastic! This was a fun post – hope the trip was good and that I see you soon. 🙂
Hello, Tea sister!!!!!!! Thanks so much for mentioning me. I have enjoyed getting to know you and having the opportunity to see your creative genious at work in your beautiful projects. You have such a fun sense of humor and always manage to make me smile, Kelly! Fun post, hilarious photos. Just what do you have against Magpies?! lol {HUGS} SHawn p.s. I cannot get the photo of the strawberry dessert to load…grrr!
The story of the road rage made me giggle and think of myself, could not survive without at least ten cups of tea a day, tks for sharing I enjoyed reading x
baaahaa,,,good luck on that search for sanity my friend! You crack me up! and tell Mila , that years ago I lived in a house that was infested with European earwigs…and I too taped them to the walls { not because I was afraid to touch them but just as a form of TORTURE to the little buggars!}heehee. That is one inventive and creative little girl you have there Kelly!
Kids! LOL~ I’m so glad you have a sense of humor about it!!My dd freaks over spiders (which she calls ‘speeders’) and cannot fathom how or why I take them back outside if they come indoors! I should do a post on that…haha!
Kelly reading this gave a great laugh. I love all the stories and accompaning pics. Just Fabulous! You’re such a treat. Thanks so much for dropping in on me. It gave me the chance to visit you. I’ll be back again.lol
BOF definitely takes after her Mother! We put crime scene tape of DS1’s door one time. . . he rarely exited the room so it probably took him a while to realize it!
Have a good week and watch out for those mosquitoes!
Thanks so much for the blog award, Kelly!!!!! You are just too sweet! And I love your secrets – I drink coffee, not tea, but I know that I am addicted! Waaaaaaaah!!!!! Thanks once again, my friend!
OMG that was a fun post Kelly! The crime scene tape was hilarious! You’ll have to buy her several rolls of Scotch Tape for her stocking this year. Label them… Or make her a little scotch tape cozy 😉 But I have to agree with you… Wouldn’t a fly swatter or spray be easier!!?? Funny child 🙂
Kelly I’m so surprised and grateful, thank you kind lady for thinking of me!!!! I know what you mean about the driving! ;)wink wink! I’m really NOT an agressive driver, but I wont sit idly by, letting people “DWS – Drive While Stupid”. I have to gently show them the ways of the road 🙂 LOL. I’m off to try and think of my seven things, I don’t know how easy that will be but I will let ya know! Have a great week Kelly!!! Thanks again
Funny post Kelly. Smart girl you have there – if line with the crime scene scenerio, she was using the “tape method” to preserve the evidence and also to warn the other mosquitos about what could happen to them.
Kelly, I love the way you take the goofiness of kids and shine a light right on it! Your post really made me laugh. You have great comedic timing. Love all the photos that illustrating your points. Wonderfully written. Loved it!
You are sweeter than strawberry shortcake, Kelly! Thank you so much. I loved reading your random facts but when I got to #2, I had to think that maybe you could use a little alcohol to make it through the rearing of those kiddos of yours!
Kelly, I look to you to start the biggest hair from the 80’s award! We should all post photos from that time and measure who’s was the biggest!!!!! LOL!!!!!
Oh my gosh!! ROFL!!!!! That is hilarious Kelly!! Your youngest sounds exactly like mine!! I love that you got pic’s of the whole adventure! I needed a good laugh today,….it’s nice to know that I’m not the only one that struggles with the kiddies off on summer holidays! rofl!! xx
Thanks for the ideas. There’s always something new to learn and improve on in this mad internet world. Uptiming is surely something to keep an eye on. mosquito killer
Kelly you make me laugh every time I visit you! I think you need to have your own online show… think about it a stand up comic on the online stage of the world. We could charge a cover charge and of course I would be your manager… we would be RICH!
What a treat..how fun! So, is that your page you are holding? Is that the scotch tape culprit pictured in the LO? lol~ Glad you got to meet Ingvild. xoxo
Beautiful layout and happy for you that you could enjoy Ingvild’s layout class. Ingvild is such a nice lady. I was her helper today at our store but unfortunately I couldn’t take the class as I was working in the store today, but I did see the layout that the ladies created and she did give a little demonstration of all her awesome tools. I can’t wait to buy her craft knife and her 5 in 1 distressing tool when they are available for sale. Isn’t it great that we can all have this nice little community who share our passion? It’s always so nice to make new friends. Glad I met you 🙂
Awwww Kelly I am just green with envy… I just admire Ingrid’s work so much. Her new tools look amazing. Your layout is truly lovely… oh what fun! Thanks for sharing your experience with her and your beautiful layout!
Your layout is gorgeous Kelly. The flowers and all the layers compliment the photo beautifully. Thanks for blogging about your experience and sharing some sneak peeks of the new tools.
How fantastic Kelly. Love Ingvild’s creativity and that LO is gorg!! I have already found out about the new Ingvild tools and that fab stamp….Am just awaiting…xx
Wow! Awesome!! That LO definitely screams Ingvild, so lovely!! Thanks for sharing pics of her new tools, I love that they all appear so ergonomical and that multi-edged distresser is a definite must have!
Hi Kelly, I’m so glad you had a chance to go to Ingvild class, I love that new tool. Thanks for letting me know about my blog, I have had it happen to me too and I have no idea why or how to fix it. Weird. Have a great weekend. Lisa
lol…oh my lord you are so fun to read about! This is a great story! So flippin funny…and the pics to go with are even better! You are a natural blogger!
Hi Kelly! It was so amazing to meet you at TM this past week! And you’re absolutely right, Ingvild’s class was soooo incredible!!! I love the way your layout turned out and I can’t wait to get some of the pictures we took and to post them and my work on my blog! Thanks so much for stopping by my blog and I hope you’ll come visit the Scrapbook Studio if you’re ever in Stoon!
Ohhhh Wow!!!! Your l/o is GORGEOUS Kelly!!! I love love love that iron fence stamp….Im going to have to go on a hunt for it!! How cool to see a pick of you beautiful ladies together!!
OMG! This gave me a fit of giggles Kelly! You have my deepest sympathy! I can just picture him saying thses things…and watching you go paler by the second LOL! I feel your pain sista…I feel your pain!
LOL!!!! I don’t know if I should continue reading your blog because you scare the hell out of me with your stories! Is this what I have to look forward to?! LOL. Buy a few more bottles of hair color because it ain’t over yet! LOL
Ummm, on the one hand this is funny! On the other, he not only puts others at danger he puts himself in danger. In the last 4 years of driving my daughter to high school, I have been rear ended and sideswiped by TEEN drivers near the high school!!! Two different accidents I had to take my car in for repairs.grrr… I am so glad dd has graduated so I can stay away from the HS!!! LOL~ Some 16 yr olds are mature enough to drive, but most are not. Get out the hair color, it is going to be a bumpy ride! xo
HA!!!!!!!!!!!!! OMG .. How could he NOT be looking at anything when shoulder checking???!!! And the ‘my bad’ for no.2 is hilarious. I am scared that this is my future as well!! hee hee..
I have two that are now adults and married so I feel for you and know your pain. I still have an 11 year old at home. What was I thinking LOL. Just kidding! I love him dearly, but why can’t they just skip the teen years and go from 10 to 25 instantly? Chin up Kelly.
O boy! In a really that’s-just-how-it-goes kind of way, this is just hilarious! It was not that long ago that my lil brother was taking his driver’s test, and I had sworn that if he passed I would become a hermit – for fear of losing my life should I ever be in a 500 foot radius of his ill-operated car…Much to my surprise, when he failed the test TWICE, he somehow changed his outlook on what driving really means. Funny how things just have a way of working themselves out 🙂
Kelly, you are a brave and patient Mom. My version of Mom’s driving school would have been shut down after the first or second incident. Please remember to give me a call when he is on the road so I can stay home (just kidding).
Guess what Kelly? My son is now one of those teenage boys out there driving! Yep, he hit the road 2 days after his birthday that was June 25th. I am so lucky, Draven is the total opposite of what teenagers are supposed to be. He is very responsible and drives better than me. I loved this post-so funny! So many of my friends are going through this so it is very relatable! I found a great hair color that lasts a lot longer than the others, if you would like the name of it-lol!!
OMG Kelly, I’m sitting here with my 12 year old DD and tears of laughter are rolling down my face. I am seriously dreading this too! I wish you the best of luck and new tires are expensive..just let the air out!
I went through it with two teenagers years ago and I went completely white haired… now my grandkids are starting to drive… YIKES, I think my hair is actually starting to fall out!!! So quit gripping about hair dye… I gotta go look at wigs! Love ya gal, you keep my heart pumping with all your great humor! Pendra
Oh Kelly… you are so sweet! I just got your message about the loss of my Mom. Your kind words and friendship mean a lot to me and I so appreciate you and your wonderful sense of humor. There are so many amazing people out here in blog land and I am ever so grateful to have found you. You are ever so sweet. Thank you my friend. Pendra
This is too funny….and a little scary seeing as we live in the same city!! I was laughing out loud as I read them, but number one has got to be my favorite! Thanks for the laugh today – I needed it!! – Brenda
You sure know how to bring the funny, Kelly. I wanted to laugh, but then, before I know it, my own son will be driving. Maybe I should just print this out and put it in his baby book now.
By the way, when I was a teen, I told my Dad that STOP stood for Squeal Tires On Pavement. He was not amused…
OH wow, that layout is a stunner! Lucky you to meet such a scrapping Icon, I am definitely jealous! I know you were just beside yourself getting to meet her, and by the way you looked beautiful-great photo of you and her together!
Kelly, Thanks for your lovely comment on my blog..I was trying to find an email address so I can email you. Can you email me at berry71bleu@gmail.com? Thank you so much!! Lovely work Kelly, I’m now a follower..Hope to hear from you soon.
Ahhhhhhh Kelly1 What a wonderful moment for you! I sooooo wish I could have been there! So, now you have to come to PA to teach a class to us, ok???!!!
You are soooo funny… still think we could make it on the road, just saying!! I received my goodies from you in the mail and just wanted to say thanks… I don’t own anything Bo Bunny, do you believe that? Well I do now… thanks sweetie!
Omg! you Do crack me up girlfriend…arm liposuction indeed ! and gosh you guys are talllll…. that’s it…I’m only bringing highheels with me…and I’ll still probably look like a dwarf next to you LOL
I agree with Shirley (you have a great gift), and Sandra’s funny comment LOL!! But it’s true, you are gorgeous and hilarious chica 😉 And don’t feel bad – I could only wish to have your arms! Your blog is such a perfect mix of everything, so happy you are here now!!! And I have to apologize for not doing my part of the Sweet Blog Award you gave me (yet). Going to start dreaming stuff up right now LOL! TTYL
What a fun post! Where did you go (between Kelowna and Vernon?) I only ask because my Dad lived in Oyama for a million years (but recently moved to Vernon). It is 20 minutes between Kelowna and Vernon but so small that no one ever knows where it is… Is that where you visited? I love it out there – Wade and I talk about relocating ALL the time. I am sure you had an amazing mini vacation. I love the wineries there – arent they beautiful?!
You have no idea how homesick these great travel pics are making this Okanagan raised girl right now! 🙂 Looks like you a stellar time there, that’s wonderful!
Thank you very much for your lovely comment on my scrapbook blog this morning about my anniversary card. Visiting the Okanagan, you were hanging out precisely where my parents still live 🙂
Wow, Kelly! Your layout is gorgeous! Good for you finding a way to get out of fussy cutting that paper. 🙂 I think it’s quite a work of art, and your friend will love it.
P.S. I rather enjoy the teenage horror stories. They make me giggle…probably because I don’t have teenagers yet…(yet)
Wow! stunning LO Kelly. It is so rich! Love all the fussy cutting …God bless Kim I’d say LOL!The weaved ribbon frame is beautiful! and I do that cut out the center thing too ….especially if I don’t have a second sheet ! great minds think alike!
Beautiful job of creating a gorgeous layout and then teaching us how to recreate one for ourselves. The bird and butterflies are the perfect additions to this nature-inspired page. The sheer ribbon really adds another dimension and is the perfect girly finish.
Just beautiful Kelly…love every detail. I too cut out the centers of my paper and please don’t change a thing about your blog…your stories always make me chuckle!!!
I love your stories and teen horror, LOL… love your layout too! I only fussy cut flowers if the project demands it otherwise I rather make 3D flowers 🙂
Ahhh, so elegant, Kelly! I LOVE LOTS of pics too~ Great close-ups of the punching, lacing and MF pieces. Your work is always so detailed and eye catching. Have a great week 🙂 xox shawn
Wow Kelly, this is so beautiful!! Yes, I love looking at the photos to see all the up close gorgeous elements!! Those MF resin pieces are so pretty, will have to get some (and some gold paint!).. Been wanting to try the Distress Stains 🙂
Oh, I fear the day this happens to me, Kelly! But at least now I know what to expect and I hope I can handle it with half the grace and aplomb that you have. Loved the story in pictures and especially the wonderfully sweet pic at the end. Hugs to you!
I know how you feel Kelly…my oldest just finished college and has been working in Iqaluit for the last 2 months.But he comes home on Thursday…YAY!!! Bet you are looking forward to your scrappy friend coming to visit!!
What a sweet & touching story. You have such a masterful way of sharing your life with us. You have done a great job raising your son and that will help him make the right choices.
Hugs Kelly! I have been through it and it’s hard for us moms sometimes to accept that our kids are growing up. They are becoming independent, but they will always need us. My two older kids are now married and I am seeing this now.
OH Kelly!!! I just want to give you a big hug you poor girl!!!! I’m all teared up for u 😉 !! Congrats to BG for getting his license! Now if he’d only quit scaring his mom! And I loved the irony of walking hom LOL. Big hugs, take care, can’t wait to see your next post ~
Oh gosh the time is just going so fast! My DD is stuck in NYC coming home tomorrow and this is the longest I’ve been away from her. I can’t imagine what I’ll feel when she drives away. It kinda sucks. I love the wheel barrel pics, so darn cute!!
Thanks for the laugh but most of all for the good cry! I totally get how heart wrenching it would be to see your baby boy drive away… hugs to you my friend! I do not look forward to having my kids grow up LoL!!! Hannah is going into Grade 1 on Thursday and I am already getting emotional. Hugs!! Limor
Congrats??? Total roller coaster of a ride for you right now. Just know that you have given him the tools to be a good person and make the right decisions (hopefully *wink*)
I’m so going to be a mess when my boy is at this stage. I’m sad (and happy) he is starting preschool in a week!!
Oh Kelly, great big, in the same boat as you, momma hugs-Lord knows we need them! Loved those photos and your story, especially the part about him having to walk that day-lol!
Sweet and a lovely vintage feel. I especially like the hand stitching. The punching and doily add femininity and daintiness. WHat a treasure the photo is for your family heritage album! Your pages always have wonderful touches. Chicken ‘wire’ is perfect on this LO~
Ok you party girl! This is a great layout starting with the priceless photo. Great shadow box style framing with the punchwork and chicken wire. The sign (title box) is very creative and the stitchery also very nice.
Wow oh wow Kelly! this is GORGEOUS!!! I’m awed at all the wonderfully creative details on this LO!!!This is so sweet and touching! No wonder your mother loved it! the frame title is awesome!!!! and so is the double frame shadow box! I keep going back to look at all the gorgeous little details!
Oh dear Lord girl! I know this was funny but I actually felt a little teary eyed because I envisioned my son, and I imagine it is very hard to swallow!!! I mean I’m not even wanting to send him to kindergarten next year…not because I want him around 24/7 because I could use a break…but because time is flying by way too fast and although I know its supposed to happen, it still breaks my heart!
That is so awesome, Kelly! I’m honestly doing a big happy dance for your right now. Canadian Scrapbooker is my favourite scrapbooking magazine and I eagerly look forward to buying it each month. Now I’ll be a million times more excited for the fall issue, knowing you were behind it’s fantastic cover.
Kelly!!!!! A front cover! That’s awesome news. I’m soooo thrilled for you. HUGEST CONGRATS!
Fabulous layout and even more so as It’s not your size. I’d feel the same. But you created an amazing lo.Maybe it’s something about understanding the crazy Canadian hockey love. lol
OMG! You did stitcking on your page!! I am so impressed by this since I know you laugh at me so much when I am doing it. And you used a tool to do it!! Way to go (LOL)! Great layout Kelly.
Congrats Kelly on what is sure to be only the first of many covers designed by you! You are on your way to being a scrapping star – and not the chipboard kind (he he). Thanks for sharing your good news – your friends, fans & followers are thrilled with your success.
Woohoo Kelly!!!!!!!!! I KNEW I would see your work on a cover some day! You have such amazing talent! Now, when can I come to your house for a class?????? I am interested in that sketch, too! TFS!!! P.S. I love that photo of you holding the cover – you always make me smile, my friend!
This is awesome! I don’t know if teens still say that….I think I may be aging myself. But awesome fits. The layout, the cover, your accomplishment. I love the page you created. Teen boy pages are especially hard to do and you rocked this. LOVE that pic of you holding the mag, lol. I am thrilled for you, Kelly.
This is such a fun fall page. A delight! Your description of how this layout came about really made me smile. Indeed, the “fail” part of the title certainly and rightfully belongs to the teens! We moms have to stick together.
I think a fall pic of Kelly and hubby might be in order, esp now that BoyGenius is driving and BabyoftheFamily is fast becoming a teen and DramaQueen is surely going to resist a family photo shoot….
I love this Bella Blvd collection. You used the chipboard in such cute ways. I picked up a bit of this line the other day. Loved BB’s fall line last year too. Wonderful work, Kelly.
I was looking through your blog tags and saw that “Justin Bieber” was a tag of yours. Curiosity got the best of me. Hee! Really cute story. Love the photoshopping!
Funny funny! Love that the “Fail’ is all off kilter Kelly…it adds to the chaotic feeling of this LO. Great take on the sketchy challenge! and you’re right …sometimes it really is a relief to do a Lo that’s not all technique heavy. Great LO!!!
Such a cute layout Kelly. It is ironic that the photos are the stars of a layout about the trials of getting a “good” photo. Love the papers (especially the wood grain) and the fun embellishments. What a good mom you are to include the hearts!
Great layout! I love your trees and the photo’s crack me up just thinking about the entire process! I can relate when trying to do photoshoots of my sisters kids…someones always mad and NO ONE ever pays attention to the photographer!!! Definitely the fault of the subjects not the photographers. 🙂
I love that you took not so perfect photos, and turned them into a perfect layout! A sense of humor is a must for those of us with teens, and I love yours!
Wow Kelly, this page is stunning! You have the patience of a saint and nerves of steel because I would be a nervous ninny, (spelling???) cutting up that beautiful paper. But it came out GORGEOUS! I just adore the ribbon weaving around the photo! Thanks for sharing how you do what you do! It means a lot to this newbie!
Ooooh Kelly… my oldest Grandaughter is gonna graduate High School this year, I have been through this with my kids and now my Grandkids. I have totally white hair now, and I blame THIS moment with each and every one! Love that you documented this… save it for when his kids start to drive, send him this photo, he will get it then!!! hehehe… it is sooooo fun!!
Way to go girl!!! I knew you had it in you… and I knew you when! hehehe! I know a Cover Girl! I am so happy for you… you and your work are so amazing and so deserving!
What a beautiful tribute for a wonderful photo! I bet your Mom was so thrilled! My Mom just passed and I have found some amazing photos of her as a little girl, this is a wonderful idea for these treasured photos! I have been away from my home and supplies for months and months and I am having scrap anxiety… but I am storing up ideas, and this is at the top! Thanks for sharing the most inspiring and creative projects!
You captured the essence of that moment! I was not sure why giving up the keys was such a big deal for me too… but having to let go of the child is exactly what it is about. Of course R didn’t see it that way! And then there came the “first” accident… another story! Sharon
Super cute LO Kelly! Too funny! I have many photos like those, but somehow I never think to scrap them! I did see the Sketch contest, but I’m not sure I”ll have time this month to enter anything. Hope you do well though!
Years from now you’ll remember that day for it’s imperfect perfection, much better than some stuffy posed photo anyway! The placement of all the pps is so perfect and that’s not easy!
Kelly! This layout is amazing! I love your take on the sketch! I especially love your sense of humor and exactly who failed what in your layout!!!! LOL!!!!! Thanks for sharing a little bit of your talent with us!
This is such a great project! The details are AMAZING!!! Love the chicken wire corners and the real wood sign- the cross stitch is the perfect corner on the sides there- what a fantastic way to match a wonderful photo! pinned onto my Pinterest account!
Oh, my stars! This is one amazing creation. Please tell me you submitted this to Scrapbooking and Beyond. The spring call is due Oct. 1. This is right up their alley.
WOW!!!! Congrats Kelly! That is sooooo exciting! I can’t believe I’ve looked at that cover so many times and had no idea it was YOUR layout. We all knew it was just a matter of time before your talent landed you a cover! Congrats again!
Bob always says trips like that are an “adventure” (you’re along for the ride. . . not much you can do. . .I’m thinking by the shape of that hanger they probably used it to unclog the sink. . . thank goodness for hand sanitizer!
You are cracking me up! You are such an amazing writer!! I totally felt like I was there with you but kinda glad I wasn’t. lol Were people looking at you strange taking pics of the keys? so funny…hope the next trip is much more appealing!
Wow, it’s like another world there! I’ve never been to an unclean Safeway! Sounds like the trip from &^%$! Glad you commanded your way outta there! OH, that was bad wasn’t it! Really bad!
Oh this was just what I needed! Such a humorous take on your road trip. You have a wonderful writing style, you always draw me right in.
This trip sounds like some of ours through Oklahoma. It is so bad there that my motto is, don’t stop to eat, drink, pee or sleep until we get to Arkansas boys!!
Ahem… And you say MY supply lists are long? LOL. Fabulous layout! Love the pumpkin seeds and I thought the photo was part of the paper!! Gorgeous photo! xoxo
Oh wow…awesome Kelly..and as you said about me….I can attest that this LO is even MORE gorgeous IRL! Nice addition with the Magenta leaves {wink wink}I gave you that punch??? Jeez..aren’t I a great friend hahah. Now you’ve inspired me and I must get my ar….errr…butt in gear and get something posted to the sketchy challenge!
Wow wee! First, I LOVE babyofthefamily’s costume from last year. I wonder if you had her dress that way just so you could scrap her…..? She perfect for that Graphic 45 Alice line. Please tell me you did! Secondly, oh my word, your page! That spooky tree and the big moon are the BEST! Love it, love it! A perfect Halloween page.
Hee, my poor dear! Now, I will have nightmares about bathroom key. Ick! Well, at least the power didn’t go out while you were in there. Though then you would have missed the message on the wall….Love the parting shot. Your trip really did lack glamour, I’m afraid, but you got a great blog post from it!
Love all the foliage and leaves in your sketch layout-you layered them up fabulously! I love seeing your dark side come to life! I also love your little Mad Hatter up top, she looked amazing. I wish she could realize that she will have so much more fun being original and creative than just another pretty face, but unfortunately the world seems to be making our little girls feel that way at a younger and younger age. Hope you guys have a hauntingly fun Halloween!
Great design, Kelly!….and YES, I still love that picture of your DD! You really did rock the diecuts and make them work for you, Girlfriend! Super job with the design and all the wonderful embellies that you made! AMAZING!!!
HA! Love it Kelly! I know my turn is coming, mine’s only 4, but time does fly… Everytime I think nothing can shock me these days, I see something like that tag on the shirt! What the ____?!! Anyway, as I read your through your post, my thought was that you really should try to publish your writing. ( You may be like DUH RENEEE, been there done that! ) But I think your writing would be so perfect @ places like Paper Crafting Magazine’s blog, or any of the other major blogs.. since you’re so good at papercrafting and writing.. match made in heaven!
Hi Kelly, Love the post & the photos. It really sickens me to see the lengths the retailers will go for shock value. The values that seem normal today are outrageous! It is after seeing things like this that I am happy my dd does not love to shop. Your analogy about the cruise is so apt – we are sailing on chopping seas with a broken rudder! The really scary thought is I don’t know who is the captain most days.
baaahhhaaaa. I sooooooooooo feel your pain! and that comment about the undies?? Oh how true is that ! as Chelsea likes to say [ only half as a joke I think] “My Nana thinks I wear satan’s panties!”LOL and I thought I was a rebel in high school when I wore the first mini skirt out of all the girls! haha Why do retailers need to sexualize our little girls at an earlier and earlier age ? and I’m SHOCKED at that pill tshirt! Whoa…what the heck is that all about?
You always give me a good laugh Kelly! Coming her is god for the soul….nice to know that I’m not the only one the breaks out in hives thinking about back to school shopping! Even more fun…try shopping with 2 girls who spend their whole time weighing out what is fair, who got more…oiy! You’re such a good writer…love reading your posts! xx
HAHAHA!! You gave me a good chuckle! When I walk into Hollisters it takes a few minutes to get my hearing back after we leave! Luckily, my dd does not like shopping, and chooses clothing quickly! lol~ We end up going to better lit places like Forever 21 where at least we can read the tags! She prefers feminine and classy styles, not midriff baring, thank goodness. Love your sense of humor…THANKS for visiting my Haunted Halloween Tea! xoxoxo
So, who says we have to scrap chronologically .. or on time? LOL Fabulous page .. and the design was certainly worth keeping! Love that DA tree .. gonna have to get one of those! Hope you have a great week!
While I was in Chicago recently I went into a couple of these stores and pretty much turned immediately around and left because of the loud music! I guess I am officially getting old! LOL!!!
your pages always have fabulous details and wonderful panache! Love the grungepaper and Stickles. How clever of you to mark your punch to do the edge border. Glinda looks magical, indeed. You made me laugh …just why WERE YOU standing next to Ms. Green face??! Hmm?
Wow Kelly, this is so technical, thanks for sharing!! Your layout is gorgeous with all the right colors! The semi-circle punch is brilliant!! Well done!! I learned a lot from this post, TFS again! Have a great week, Kelly!! Take care. xoxo.
Wow, this is so amazing, love all the details you have spent hours getting right, saw Wicked a few years ago over here and have just seen The Wizard of Oz recently loved both of them. Waterstone’s the online book company has the most amazing scanimation book out on this, you might be interested, take care and the teacup basket is from http://www.candigifts.co.uk which is a UK based website, Doreen x
That yellow brick road is a stroke of genius Kelly..simply gorgeous! and what a great tip of marking the back of your punch so you have the same depth every time you punch the edge…I’ll certainly have to remember that tip! 🙂 Awesome fussy cutting and glinda is just sparkly perfect! Fab Lo my friend!
How cool is this!!! I love how you went about creating the yellow brick road. I just saw Wicked this past weekend! So this page ‘called’ to me! The close ups is what I really enjoyed…I got to see all those fabulous techniques you used…awesome work!
What a VERY cool Halloween page! You created the night scene from It’s the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown…complete with the great big pumpkins! Linus would be right at home here. The DA tree against the large moon…it just all works together perfectly…love it!
Well Kelly–it’s still great even if Baby of the Family did not cooperate. You should get her back and clone her face onto the Wicked Witch. I love the brick wall and the entire layout! Hey, you’d make a good Dorothy………
Absolutely stunning, Kelly! I can tell that you had so much fun doing this LO…..How funny that you and I are both commenting on the texture created in our LO’s! Great job with your 3-D poppies and that awesome yellow brick road…You rocked it, Kelly!!!
WOW! What a great post! Not only because of your awesome layout itself but your step by steps are so helpful!!! Now you have me convinced that I need a sizzix…I have a cricut that I rarely use and didn’t want the sizzix to be the same story! Thanks for sharing Kelly…
Hey Kelly, I haven’t visited in awhile and I see you are the same goofball, but boy your work isn’t goofy! This is beautiful, I love how you share the how to’s! I just got a BigKick and the brick embossing folder… I didn’t know you could put the ink right in it, I learned something new today! I am in awe of how easy you made it to do the postage edge… I didn’t know that it would be so easy (of course I haven’t tried it yet)! Thanks for sharing and keep up that great work… you are always an inspiration to me and I learned a lot from you today! Crafty Hugs, Pendra
The details and creative artistry here are out-of-this world wonderful! You’ve truly created a fantastic, whimsical, awesome WOO themed page, Kelly. Stellar work!
Your work on this layout is fantastic. I am exhausted just thinking how many hours you must have spent to get every detail perfect. The sparkle, the steam punk gears and the fussy cutting all add up to a “wickedly-amazing” art piece.
wow, it’s so amazing, I can’t making scrapbooking cards:( I don’t have a precision like you:) Ipreffer soutache or felt flowers. Before Christmas every year I always try to make a christmas cards, but they are so ugly. It’s a pity that my friends get ugly cards:P take care, Natalia
Kelly this is just awesome crafting. I love the way the two pages are brought together so beautifully by the road trailing across. LOL had to laugh at your “baby” not wanting to be Dorothy Can you blame her? Great pic of you two witches. LOL
Love this post! I’ve been there. Funny that we both have daughters on both ends of the shopping spectrum. (Our DQ’s Love It……SHOPPING…..Leave It says our BOF’s)
Holy smokes Kelly ! these are frigging GORGEOUS! I can NOT believe how many techniques you have incorporated in these cards! Seriously!And while you know the window /blue one is my fav , I gotta tell you that the way you used the rosette die cut to make that Christmas tree is astounding. It amazes me how you keep coming up with unique ways to use these products..YOU should send that one to Tim himself…I bet he’d be mighty impressed with that use for his diecut! Outstanding work my friend!
Wow! Talk about impressive! It never fails to amaze me how many different techniques you use to create. I can’t wait to soak up some inspiration from you!
Hi Kelly, What beautiful cards. You must be so proud of how you challenged yourself and came up with such a magnificent result. Michelle’s idea is brilliant – Tim would love to see what you have come up with!
Kelly, All five of these cards are unbelievably adorable. I have shared this post on the Graphic 45 Facebook business page. Our followers are going to love this. Thanks for sharing your great techniques. Happy Papercrafting! — Charee Filimoehala Graphic 45, LLC
Oh Wow…you did an amazing job on all of these creations…I love them all and all the different techniques…I will have to try them. I am now a follower…TFS
My favorite is the “Joy” card, but it’s really hard to pick one. Just found your Blog via G45…They’re really smart at finding artistic talent! I will continue to follow your postings! Thanks for sharing
Kelly! I didn’t realize what a “Star” you are!!! I love these cards. Thanks for showing us all of your tricks to make them. Gotta love Graphic 45…everything! Rochelle Cricut OCD
What imagination you have and I’m so excited with the Santa with kids art and teh idea for the tree is wonderful. Love your ideas! Thank you for sharing your artwork and for a chance to win.
Kelly, my jaw dropped when I saw your beautiful creations. Sure puts my cards to shame. Now I have to work harder to make them almost as nice as yours. Thank you for sharing! And I agree, you have to let Tim know about the Tree!
I am in awe of all the beautiful cards you made and all the different ideas you came up with for one theme. Now to try and pick one card, well I love the first one with Santa and the little ones, but I also love the window scene, so I can’t pick a favorite they are all beautiful, and yes I am becoming a follower as we speak so I can keep up with all your ideas tfs
wow!! Hallmark should be calling you!! what beautiful cards!! it’s hard to decide which is my favorite, but i think i like the Joy card the best. and, i really like how you share your techniques!! even Ms 5 thumbs, like me, can give this a whirl! thank you for sharing such wonderful ideas. You Rock!!
I love how you step out of the box with the rosette die. You definately have a creative genius mind. It makes me want to get creative and make some cards. My fav is the first one because of all the different components to it. Awesome job Paula
Kelly, your cards are amazing. I love the Christmas Carols card the best. Love how you color your own ribbon with distress ink. This is a great tip. I subscribed to your newsletter, however, your follow button did not work, so I could not follow. Love your work. patnbobcuddy at gmail dot com
Well, Kelly–see the above post. Once I signed in with google to post I was able to become a new follower by using the follow on the top bar. patnbobcuddy at gmail dot com
Your cards are simply amazing! I love how you incorporated so many techniques in each card. The first one blew me away…by the time I saw the last, I was literally speechless. Thanks so much for sharing!
The mother with children looking into a store window is my fav – love how you used Stickles on the swirls – and that blue distress ink – I neeed me some of that. Right after I finish this, I’ joining your blog – you have used almost all of my favorite products in your post today !
OMG, I am not a card maker but am soooooo inspired to try a few of these techniques. Love the Santa’s knee one but all gorgeous. I recently started using that glue too – LOOOOOVE it!
these cards are amazing esp for the first time. my favorite is the Christmas Carols, I have never used Graphic 45 papers thanks for showing upnurse at aol dot com
I am your newest follower! I found you from a post on Graphic 45’s Facebook page. I love every single card you made! Brilliant! I am especially fond of on Santa’s knee! Kindest regards, Jennifer
These cards are marvelous!! My favorite is the ‘Christmas Carols” one. i love your innovative use of the embossing folders and of course the Tim Holts dies. Wonderful work!!
now thATS THE WAY TO USE TIMS STUFF. I AM SO SICK OF PEOPLE BUYING ALL THIS STUFF AND NEVER USING IT. NOW YOU SURE USED ALL OF IT . SO CREATIVE YOU SHOULD BE SO PROUD OF YOURSELF.JUST GORGEOUS. I LIKE THE KIDS LOOKING THRU THE WINDOW LOVE THOSE STICKLES. TRACY
Oh, sure, just a few simple cards…..These are works of art. Just amazing. You did Tim proud! So creative. The first card is especially exceptional. I couldn’t love these more. Beautiful, Kelly. Loved the tip, too, on using distress stains to color ribbon. I usually use mists, but I like the look of the stains better. Great job, too, with all the photos. Just wow.
Your attention to detail is amazing, Kelly. You humble me! Crafting at its finest. I have the 8×8 paper pack of this collection and I would love a good Oz Halloween character to photograph – and scrap – too. Darn that baby of the family! But you sure made Wicked work. This is just remarkable. I need some new tools, I see….
Kelly, all of these cards are so beautiful….cannot BELIEVE how much detail you added to each one! Maybe you should hand deliver each one….don’t know how the Canadian postal service is, but I would be scared to death to put it in the U.S. mail!!!! OMGosh!!! Love them ALL!
BTW…after your comment….thanking me for my comments over at SB.com, I had to go back and see what I had written…..LOL…..you are so funny, honey bunny!
I’m here to deliver a cup of hot cocoa with tiny marshmallows. It is so hard to choose a favorite, they are all so pretty! But I think that the ‘Joy’ card is my favorite!
DAGGONE!!! I snoozed and….loooozed!? I have to get better with keeping up with everyones blogs! You know I absolutely LOVE your cards! I am thinking about that grunge stole Christmas though…think you may have inspired me???? Now to get off my lazy rump and just do it!
crappy doodles! I totally thought I would never get to the end of your comments! Thank you so much for the how to’s…you are such an ispiration! that sounds a little overly sappy but it is the truth!
Misty always makes me laugh with her expressions crappy doodles? I’m So gonna use that! I was gonna say YOWZA!!! 68 comments? Not even during a blog hop do I get so many comments! Goes to show- being talented AND sweet AND friendly counts- a LOT! Thank you for swinging by my blog today- it was a huge honor and I really appreciate the feedback. LOVE your card! It’s FABULOUS- the woodgrain and brick embossing are so perfectly well thought out! Pinning it for future inspiration!

Congrats to Lisa – she will love the card kit as the finished product is beautiful. Congrats to you on your ever growing group of followers! They all know a good thing when they see it.
OK, Kelly……if I’m a “follower”, then you must be my “leader”. What I want to know is, WHERE are you leading me? Are you leading me ASTRAY? Amazing cards, honeybee!
Hi Kelly I am trying to make that wreath and I would like to know what do you mean when you say medium strips of paper and where are they glued together, end to end? Thanks alot Mitzi. PS could you email me at my main address,graves2859@sbcglobal.net, thanks again!!!

OMG what pretty cards! I love them all…so many little details to admire…I love how you share tips/tricks…they are all so perfectly thought out…beautiful work–lots of inspiration here!
How cute is this page!!! I too recently saw Wicked in NYC & loved it!! How fabulous is that show! You did it justice with this fabulous 2 page layout…loved looking at all those little details…I see you use Stickles a lot for added bling…girl…I don’t think I have one single page where I don’t whip out my Stickles…Love ’em!! 🙂 Love this page!
I rhink your page is fabulous! I’m so happy you showed us more details of of the lamp post, snowflake and doily. I would not have realized it was your alterations. Bravo! Kindest regards, Jennifer

Such great exciting news for you! Congrats! I’m looking forward to seeing the layouts you’ll be creating in the magazine! I really love this Christmas Lo you did! Fantastic!
Congrats on the DT work! I love the way you did the lamppost, the stickles really makes it sing. I was especially glad to see you Christmas post because, hello it’s like less than a week from Thanksgiving and I haven’t even taken my Fall decorations out. I’m so not mentally ready, as you know I’ve been spending way too much time on the computer. So thanks for reminding me I’ve gotta get moving! Have a great day and thanks for visiting me on my blog, I’m always happy to get your visit! Hugs, Lisa

You have a wonderful way of thinking outside the box and coming up with new ways to use our supplies! Thanks Kelly… and I love each and every one of these beautiful cards! Crafty Hugs my friend, Pendra
I love this layout! I had such a blast trying to re-create this masterpiece. Your so talented my friend! I hope there are more classes to come at Urban..count me in. Everyone I show this project says “oh my you are so talented” and I have to say…”no Kelly is the talented one”, this was her idea. So thanks and you know I’m already a fan!!
Loved this project so much that I’m making one myself! LOL! I’m still working on it though and I need to find the perfect photo to put in it. It’s truly a gorgeous creation! I just love that resist canvas. I had to buy extras to have around for other projects! I sure hope that they come out with more.
I’ve tried to leave a comment several different ways and the only way it would take is as Anonymous? (Cricut OCD on Scrapbook.com) Anyway if there is a trick please let me know. My Google account says I don’t have authority to post to this account? Rochelle
Kelly, this is gorgeous! Your daughter is beautiful! Thank you so much for your instruction on the techniques. I am so excited to try this. I love learning new things and there are so many really pretty embellishments here, I can’t wait to try. First things first… gotta finish my Christmas cards! –CookieGranny on scrapbook.com
Cool! I LOVE how you show all the details! this and that… tule&wire are favourites this time, very inventive: a mix of tenderness and hardness. great job!
Very beautiful LO ! I’m more of a cardie than a scrapper, but I can see applications that could be used in my cards. Love the vintagey look, and then a pop of color here and there !
Good Sunday morning, Kelly. Your layout is so amazing. Love the vintage look. You have an incredible way of working with papers and textures. Great tree trunk. Thanks for sharing and I am a new follower. patnbobcuddy at gmail dot com

Looks great- I really like that edge punch and how you used the tile along the border for extra bling and texture- it’s a great masculine page! Thanks for swinging by my blog today- I know that was a scary page- got it out of the way and have moved onto brighter material today. 😉
WHOA! Number 76!!! Well O LOVE these cards!! The paper wreath and cubed hearth on the santa card are FABULOUS!!! I also like how you printed music notes on the wood- beautiful cards- you knocked these right out the park!
This is beautiful, Kelly. I really like Tada Studios but their stuff is hard to find. Love the snowflakes. Never heard of that company. Will have to go give them a peek. Great pics. I love your style.
This is just too cute Kelly. Love the paper line and all your goodies! Your layouts are a treat to look at. I love when you called your son “boy genius”, that’s our nickname for our son too.
Kelly, this is stunning! I saw your layout in Canadian Scrapbooker…your so talented. I love all the work you put into your designs. The wreath is fabulous!
Hi Kelly, I had a pair of those boots too but they were a yucky brown colour and so I couldn’t wait to get rid of them. Another lovely layout filled with great techiques.
This is so very beautiful Kelly!! Love the patchwork design with the stitches, and really really love the black behind the gold DA pieces! Brilliant way to make them pop 🙂
Oh Kelly I love this! I just got this paper collection, it was one of my gifts we found wrapped under the tree but could never determine who it came from??hehehe,wink,wink?? I hope that you had a wonderful holiday season with your family and I look forward to what you will bring to us in 2012! Crafty Holiday Hugs, Pendra
Mexico? Que pas?! lol~ LOVE this LO, Kelly….I may use this sketch! Funny story about the basketball. You are right…no snow here. Um, maybe we could decorate a palm tree? HAVE A BLAST in Mexico. 🙂 JOY in 2012! xoxox
Wow!! This is amazing!! Love all the details – the tree, wreath, stitching and so much more, again thanks for the close-ups and details!! I’m a new follower. ~ Blessings
such a delightful layout!!! love it! LOVE the ingenuity of your youngster in covering the basketball with snow….makes the PERFECT round head! love it! LOVE the snow man your kiddo made too….how awesome! I hope my kiddos join me in this craft one day!!! how fun would that be!!!! Happy New YEAR!
Kelly! I hope you have a wonderful vacation in Mexico! I can’t wait to see the pictures and the scrapbook pages you create! I absolutely ADORE this page and that the snowman was made by your daughter. That is just so special! I want to thank you so much for stopping by my blog, too! Happy New Year, dear friend!
Kelly! I hope you have a wonderful vacation in Mexico! I can’t wait to see the pictures and the scrapbook pages you create! I absolutely ADORE this page and that the snowman was made by your daughter. That is just so special! I want to thank you so much for stopping by my blog, too! Happy New Year, dear friend!
This is just beautiful, Kelly. You have to admire BOF’s thinking with that basketball. Love her work on the paper snowman too. The whole page is a delight! I hope you have a wonderful trip.
Love all your photos of the holidays and it is kind of sad that we have to look at drab and dreary all day long here instead of all those wonderful colors! Love the layout too! So bright and fun!
I just loved this post Kelly. Your so right! We need to add colour to our lives. I just looked out my studio window..and realized there is not much colour out there today. Love the bright fun layout… Now I think I need to add some colour to my house, lol. P.S. Great pics of Mexico!
You are tooooo funny my friend! very hilarious post kelly! Your pics are awesome and I “almost’ felt warm looking at them! LOL Gorgeous bright coulors! such a stark contrast to our drab winters for sure. Looking forward to seeing more of your trip photos!
A bright and cheery page for a not so bright winters day…perfect! Loved reading this and seeing all the wonderful photo..I love Mexico for many reasons and color is one of them! Thanks for sharing..it a nice bit of inspiration!
Your blog post reminds me of the question I ask myself every winter: “Why do I live here when there are places that have decent weather all year round?” Love the photos from Mexico – they have a real happy feel. The layout is a great example of using colour and simple embellishments successfully.
I so enjoyed going through those pictures. About two years I was in Mexico myself with the hubby & this brought back memories. Our hotel wasn’t as colorful as yours though!! It was so bright! I’d need shades 24/7 there–but it was oh so pretty! Loved all your different takes and that pretty layout you wrapped your post up with. Glad to see you had a great vacation!
I wondered what the feathers were! She is gorgeous Kelly! You best get out yer rockin’ chair and shotgun as my father in law always says ROFL. I think he will set up a permanent station on our front porch when Emily turns 16 😉 Anyway, THANK u sooooooooo much for bringing a little piece of Heaven to me today – these pictures are so beautiful and summery.. reminds me also of the time I went to Mexico as a child, so much shopping!!!! If I went there today I would bankrupt myself lol! P.S. LO is gorgeous, love the dyno tapes and all the journaling words! And I was laughing at your “glamourous birch trees and WOW’s when describing your house (even though your house IS pretty, but yeah.. the humor cracked me up!) Hugs!
It looks like you had a wonderful, colorful trip, Kelly. Great pics. Which city did you visit? And I have to say: your backyard may not be colorful, but it is spectacular! What a view.
Great layout. I love the punches of color against the neutral background. BOF is lovely. They do grow up too fast. Sniff, indeed.
Hi Kelly sounds and looks like you had a brilliant time. The postman popped a package through my door today, Wow, what an adorable blog giveaway, funny I had just made a layout at the weekend with some of that paper. So much in the envelope, I think I will make a mini album with all your lovely goodness and thank you for my adorable card. Take care and thanks so much, Doreen x
Oh Kelly. Love your pics! Love your explanation too! Your home in Canada looks amazing but where I live it doesn’t snow (it takes about 4 hours to see snow when the time of the year is right lol) I think I would love a holiday there – especially for Christmas!!! Love your LO and my your daughter has grown up!! Take care my friend – and thank you for my little message on SB.com – haven’t been around much – must get back to it though.. xxx Kaz
It’s 1:35 a.m. and your tortilla chips and salsa are making me SO HUNGRY, Kelly……are you trying to torture us here in blog land?!!! Just pulling your leg! Hugs to YOU! Patty
Your layout is an eyepopper, I LOVE IT! You are so right, it is just DRAB out their right now, I am just across the border in Minnesota and it looks exactly the same. BLAH! Glad you had a great time in Mexico… I only wished I didn’t put on all those Holiday pounds, I might have fit in your suitcase! Happy New Year my friend, I look forward to spending some time with you and to see what wonderful projects you come up with…and I could use a really good laugh!! Your sense of humor, not your projects, let’s get that straight! hehehe!!!! Crafty Hugs, Pendra
Oh MAN! the wall shots really bring the point home!! I LOVE Mexican design and color- the magentas, reds and turquoise tones all together- LOVE! Great photos on this post and you made me laugh with your photoshop flowery dresses onto my girls remark- I see myself thinking the same thing in a few years! Thanks for swinging by my blog today- you made me smile. 😉
Oh my goodnes, Kelly! I can’t even begin to tell you how much your post made me smile this morning. I had to call in sick tody – I have laryngitis and can barely talk! So feeling a little sad, I decided to stop by my bloggy friends – and yours really made me SMILE!!!!! Thanks so much for sharing your Mexican memories and your beautiful photos outside your home, too!
This is fabulous! You are an amazing designer Kelly…love to see what new techniques your doing. Now I’m asking myself how I did not see this class being offered…
As cold as I am , I still love this Lo Kelly !!! LOL. I am awestruck at the window! thank you so much for sharing that technique…gonna have to try that! Love the cheesecloth too! You did a great job with fussy cutting and mounting of the title piece. I thought it was a diecut that had come with the pps. So funny about the generation gap! Beautiful work as always dear friend!
Great photos!! We are off to Mexico in mid February for two weeks….after seeing your photos, I’m even more excited to go!! I could use a good dose of color right now…not to mention sun, sand and pina colodas!!
OK, that window frame? Out of sight! You are crazy creative, Kelly. My jaw drops every time I pop over here. Amazing work. I love this so much. Great pics. I love all your techniques. I sooooooo want to take your class! Great use of cheesecloth too. Something for my to do list!
I have nominated you for the Liebster Award. I have enjoyed your blog and want to share the award that was recentely given to me with you. The award is given to up and coming blogs and is awarded by your peers. Please stop by my blog for more details. Congratulations. Lynn
This is gorgeous, love that BoBunny range, looks fab with snow pics, sadly no snow here so far! Great ideas and love all the detail, take care, Doreen x
You deserve the crown! I want you to know that Bob was helping me to convert temperatures from C to F when you said it was -40, then warmed up to -15. He remembers the conversions when he had to mix chemicals in the darkroom. . .
Congrats on your blog award! and what a dazzling 2 page layout! your details are amazing! absolutely sensational work….and such a funny story about your fil and the opium…..lol! TFS!!!!
Oh, THANK YOU, Kelly! You are so sweet and thoughtful to honor me with the Liebster Award…..so happy that YOU were also awarded this one….You are one of the nicest “Lobsters” that I know!!!! Just pulling your leg a little. Sending you a hug, a laugh and many thanks from Texas! …Patty
LOL! I chuckled all the way through this post. I’d say you got the last laugh, Kelly. Love all these fun pics of DQ and the hand. Perhaps you should have offered her a few of those tropical libations….Now, those would have relaxed her. Or maybe you had the right idea after all. Just keep those for yourself! Great post.
These photos crack me up, Kelly! I must threaten my kids better than you! LOL!! I am so glad you had a great time on vacation, and I love looking at your daughter’s hand! 🙂
Hehehe I can totally relate. That is why a lot of my photos for scrapbooking are flowers, nature and landscapes because my two older kids are grown up and married and live 3 hours away and my son, that is still at home is 12 and gives me the hand. LOL. As long as it isn’t the finger I’m happy LOL.
This is too funny only because it reminds me of my daughter! To get back at her, I scrap those photos, lol. Next time she will smile, lol. My daughter calls me often and says “MOM, why did you scrapbook that picture of me..I look horrible”… My rule is, when my camera is in hand and I’m pointing it your way, your going to end up on a layout!!!
Loved your post Kelly…too funny. I go through this with my son…Claudine has not quite reached this phase yet. I think you should definintely do that album!
Oh my gawd! You crack me up Kelly! Tell S that while she has a beautiful hand she has an even more beautiful face and should let her momma take more pics of her!!!! I do love the pic of her with the camera up to her face…its really cool. Thankls for the giggles sweetie! Hugs
Oh that’s funny. And she’s so pretty, she should let you take her picture! At least it wasn’t the obscene gesture! You could scrap the one of her with the camera though. . . something to work with there!
HILARIOUS, Kelly!!!! I feel your pain, my friend! I, too, have gotten “the hand” many times and have to make an appointment for a photo shoot! LOVE this post (I know…..there’s not a post on your blog that I don’t love). It MADE MY DAY!
Too funny, Kelly! I have one of each – my son either runs at the site of the camera or makes a goofy face and my daughter jumps into EVERY photo with a big cheesy grin… It’s embarassing when a photographer doesn’t have any good photos of their own children! LOL!
LOL, I can relate to that, do some layouts with the hand, she won’t like it and you might then get some pics next time for layouts, take care, Doreen x
Absolutely histerical, Kelly!!!!! I am still laughing!!!! I know exactly what you are dealing with – I have a 17 year old! We are getting ready to go to Disney World in April – I bet I get a lot of the same shots and will need the same “medicine” that you used on vacation!!!!!!!! Thank you SO MUCH for these giggles!
ROFL!!!! This is so funny Kelly! I remember doing ‘the hand’ so much at that age! And we didn’t even HAVE digital cameras so you can imagine how pissed my mom was using up so much costly film! By the way missy – got my prize package – thank you so much! And I really loved that handmade card, what a gorgeous envelope and design!
I just love your sense of humour, Kelly! My DD loves the camera, but then hates 99% of the pics after…my DS groans whenever I haul out the camera, but the only one in the family who does the hand thing is hubby! I think you SHOULD scrap her hand album; might make her think twice next time(and I love the shot of her with the camera)
I think the mini album is a great idea! Hopefully your DD will pass out of this phase soon. Have you tried bribery???? It often works with younger kids if you pay for pictures. LOL
Kelly, I laughed out loud about being lucky to get three fingers instead of just one. These pictures cracked me UP! I’m considering myself lucky that my girls are just 9 and 6 yet. Hopefully I have a good long time before they start giving me _the hand_. Thanks for the smiles! 🙂
Yes this calls for a bit of scrappers revenge- a mini book sounds perfect. She really is quite beautiful- perhaps you can try to shoot on a timer so she doesn’t know it’s coming? Lola is only 2 and a half but she’s been running away from photos or giving me “the forehead” for about a year now. I usually need a Margarita to get over it too- especially after a big “family” photo where everyone is complaining about the actual photo but then gets angry when I don’t send them a copy. Hugs from one shutterbug momma to another!
Dooo itttt! That would be soo funny!!!!!! I have missed giggling my butt off over your hysterical posts…work is definitely getting in the way of my blogsurfing! Hope all is well with you and yours!
What a gorgeous LO! I love those bright, bold colors. They really bring out the beauty of Mexico! Thanks for the little tutorial on the flower! I’ve pinned it so that I can remember to make it. It’s adorable!
Your page is overflowing with color and I love it! Quintessentially Mexico and yes I agree that flower is amazing!! Thanks for the tutorial and I love that butterfly cluster!
Wow…those flowers really are beautiful and this page did them justice. Such a bright & happy page! That cluster of butterflies is just amazing & really adds a nice touch! Thanks for sharing your tutorial on those flowers…
Wow! so bright and tropical ! I’m feeling all warm and toasty [ which is a miracle seeing as my feet are freezing! LOL}Love the flower and the butterfly bunches are awesome! They remind me of pics of monarch buuterflies all clumped together when they migrate to Mexico for the winters! so cool. Is there no style of pp that you can’t turn into a work of art my friend?????
I love your bright, happy page! It’s gorgeous. You do layering so well. All the little elements are just right. LOVE the flower. Thanks for the tutorial. I’m so going to try that.
Another beautiful layout Kelly! You used those papers so well – the circle of butterflies is my favourite element. It really draws one’s eye to the gorgeous flower photo.
Oh my goodness, Kelly! Your page is absolutely gorgeous! I love the beautiful, bright colors and your AMAZING photos!!!!! Your attention to detail astounds me sometimes! Your page is Stunning!!!!!!!
This is totally awesome and DQ took a fabulous pic! Isn’t great to be able to bounce a title off of hubby & he comes up with a better (well, we let them think it’s a better one) one! Awesome sketch – you rocked it Kelly!
What a fabulous take on the sketch Kelly! I love the photo of you and your husband. Isn’t it great when they support of “first” love..scrapbooking? lol
Nice to see Hubbies once in a while! I love the way you used the vellum with the flowers and leaves. Thanks for the close up photos, it makes such a difference.
This is such a LOVELY LO, Kelly! You added the perfect amount of texture with the embossing….and your descriptions put a BIG SMILE on my face…..as always!
Beautiful Lo Kelly! Love that pic of you and hubby. Fab take on the sketch{ I copied you and did hubby and I for my version of the sketchy challenge too!}. I love that DQ said she was confident about you guys ! That is so sweet and endearing!
Isn’t that funny how the longer you’ve been together with someone, the less photos there are of just you two?! Well this page is so pretty, bright, cute, I do love it! Love the 3 different bunches of coolness you’ve got going to decorate that fab framed photo 😀
Oh FUN!!!! That is fantastic news. I came over from Gabriella Dehod’s blog just to leave luv and stumbled upon a give away- I’m not scrounging for free stuff- promise!!! 🙂 Off to see what else you’ve been up to!
Oh MAN! I love that stream of yellow butterflies! LOVE IT! I’m going to “lift” this page- will let you know when I post it!!! I wish I could go to Mexico- the flower photos ALONE make me want to buy the airline ticket right this very moment.
Hiya girlfriend! All of the Valentines are gone but one….the one that I will include with my giveaway goodies! Will you be the one to win it? Hee, hee, hee! BIG HUGS TO YOU!
LOL….you are sooo funny!!!! I can totally relate to this! my girls are the same…bad hair day, no make up, etc. you should definitely make that album….she will love that(NOT!!!!!LOL!)
What a cool book, thanks for the opportunity to win it….hope you had a lovely Valentine’s Day! We had a heart-filled day here starting with breakfast 🙂 xo
Great Layout. Congrats on having it featured in the book. You deserve it. I’m not sure the book competes with chocolate but I’d be willing to give it a shot. Hope you had a nice Valentine’s Day. Thanks for the chance to win. You Rock!!! Good luck everyone.
Kelly I love this LO, pinwheels are so cute! I am scared *&^%less about 2 pagers HA!! I admire you and I am so excited for all your fame recently!!!!!!!!!! DT, magazine’s, what’s next?! Could not happen to a nicer gal 😉
Absolutely gorgeous Kelly! Thanks for all those “hints”…especially about the glitter LOL. Looooove the tree …that’s it…I’m gonna have to get my hands on some of that sticky back canvas…I love the things you’ve been making with it! Excellent informative tut my dear Glitter Queen!
Kelly, sweet lady…..I see you have been performing more of your magic! Love, love, LOVE this LO and thank you so much for the tutorial!!! Have never worked with the TH Glassine, but will be sure to try it SOON! KUDOS on this gorgeous LO!
Ok first time visiting your blog and it is wonderful….love your tut and love the description!!!! You are a hoot Kelly!!! This is just awesome and thanks for sharing!!
This belongs on the cover of a magazine! AMAZING! Loved the glitter tutorial, and the tree – how very clever of you to fray the canvas and wrap it around! LOVE IT!!!!!!! Hope your son doesn’t get a glittery nickname!
Wow, wow, wow, this must be my favourite layout of yours so far, it is amazing, love all the ideas in the tutorial, it should be published. Have ordered that paper in anticipation of a great summer to come. Would love to make the palm tree in a future layout if that is okay with you. Take care, Doreen x
Wowza! Another crazy ridiculously fabulous creation. Beautifully wrought. I love this layout and the peek at your process. Those waves are dynamite. I feel a lift coming on.
Also, I’m thinking that you might want to send the “stunt trunk” to one lucky commenter. Perhaps lucky number 14, for example…..:-)
This line is just perfect for your layout! Love that you showed all your great techniques! I bought a bunch of glitter and then came home wondering how I should get it on my projects! LOL! Now I know! Thanks for the idea. The tree is awesome and reminded me that I should also finish my frame. ( I still need to get a photo in it). Have a great day!
You a perfectionist???????? No??????? LOL! Just kidding! I absolutely LOVE this page, Kelly. Your techniques astound me! Now I don’t have to dream about attending your class because you have part of your class here on your blog! Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful techniques with us! I love them! And your page!
Absolutely enchanting Kelly! LOVE seeing your incredible details and that Palm Tree is outstanding!!!!! TFS!!!! I’ll be sure and leave some more love on this as I put it into my faves over at sb.com! 🙂
Right up your alley Kelly! Not an easy collection to work with. By seeing your lo’s you will have no issues.. Go for it and good luck!!! There gorgeous.. Rocked them all!!

You are perfect for this team. Talented, generous, funny and creative.

Go Kelly Go Kelly!!!!! SOOOOOOOOO proud of you for throwing your hat in the ring! You’ll knock their socks off. G45 and you were made for each other. PS Loving what you’ve created with the ABC primer pps . I didn’t know you’d done those. Its a great school Lo and I love the Primer cards! Bestest bestest luck to you!
They would be so very lucky to have you Kelly!!! I wish you the best of luck! I read their blog daily so that would be awesome if I kinda ‘knew’ someone on the DT!!!!!!!!
Kelly,I’m so glad you went ahead and made the decision to apply for the team. Your work…fabulous! Your designs…amazing! You talented…untouched. I’m in awe of your work. I don’t think G45 has a hard decision when it comes to your work!! Good Luck!!!

Your work never ceases to amaze me!!! You have so much talent. Good luck on the call, They’d be lucky to have you on their team!!! Your work is always beyond amazing.
It seems winter has arrived in Edmonton, Its been a great one this year.. Loved it.. having to drive out to St. Albert for my physical therapy twice weekly I was loving the perfect driving conditions. But we’re in Alberta we know that can’t last!! We finally dug ourselves out of all the snow this weekend, but barely as our front end truck blade broke… It was almost panic!! NOW WHAT!!! lol hubby fixed it no problem. One problem living in the country no plow comes by and cleans the road lol Once again.. beautiful job on your new layouts, I wish I had as much talent!! You are truly amazing. Sherry
Great projects Kelly! And thanks for leaving such sweet comments on my blog! It’s always nice to know that people actually look at it!!! Good luck with the Design Team Call – your stuff is amazing!
CONGRATULATIONS, KELLY!!!! I am thrilled for you that you’ve made it to the next round….and will be waiting with my fingers carossed for you, Honeybee!!!! BEST OF LUCK!
Congrats, congrats, congrats, my dear friend!!!!! I am so, so happy for you!!!!!!! Yay!!!!! I hope you continue on to make the team, you deserve it! and another congrats for being guest designer for Canadian Scrapper Magazine, too! Those projects are amazing!
It was no surprise to me that you made the Top 30! I’m rooting for you to get on that team! GO KELLY GO! The fabric paper looks awesome. I’ve never seen it before, but now I’m going to have to check it out! Your card is so cute and I love that little flower you made with it.
I love the fabric paper on your card and layout! It wouldn’t matter what you made Kelly, you can always make it gorgeous! Congrats on the top 30! I think you would be a perfect fit for the G45 team!
Please let me echo all the justly deserved kudos you have received so far. You are a talented artist and it is great to see those talents recognized by the paper companies like Graphic 45 as well as the scrapbook publishers like Canadian Scrapbooker. I am keeping my fingers crossed that you make the final design team. In the meantime, keep posting all your beautiful work.
Big congrats for both accomplishments, Kelly!!!!! I didn’t have a doubt in my mind that you would make the top 30!!!! Yay!!!! And I want to tell you how much I love that card and your latest school page. It is absolutely fabulous and full of tender loving care!!!!! That’s what I love most about your work! Thanks for your continued support of mine, too! (Hey, when you make the “big times” in scrapbooking, I hope to see more “big hair” too! LOL!!!)
Well, first, a big yahoo on being named among the G45 finalists. No one who frequents your blog is surprised by that. I’m constantly amazed by the G45 projects you feature here. Like this one! LOVE the “school days” layout. So creative. The little girl peeking over the photo is just the cutest touch. As for your card, it’s delightful. I’ve never heard of fabric paper but now I want some! Enabler!
LOL, Kelly loved your story about the pickles! Your farm layout is amazing, that glassine paper is amazing on the leaves, need to try that. Your daughter is a cutie, how quick they grow up mine are now 17 and 15! Take care, Doreen x
That’s a wonderful family photo of the girls! I wish I had photos of my mom as a girl back in the “old country”- Korea:) Your two pages are very different but so well done! Love the pink and fun of the first (cool banner by the way) and your second with it’s chippie and banner has modern heritage all over it! Beautiful takes on the sketches Kelly:)
Gorgeous LOs Kelly! Great take on the sketch. Loved the story of the pickles …I hear ya…I’ll never be able to do all the stuff my mom did! I certainly don’t consider myself lazy but Mom can still run circles around me. { well NOT run per say haha…like your Mom ,I don’t remember ever seeing her run either!] Loooove the three generation photo..what a good looking bunch of girls! Hugs, Michelle PS I seem to be on a banner kick lately too. Are we channeling each other?????
Kelly love this LO and thanks for all the great ideas . I was in Mexico at Puerto Vallarta and near to scrapbook some pages and your’s will give me the inspiration to get started .Thanks for the tutorial on how you did the tree and leaves Marilyn
Congratulations! That is so exciting for you! I love the LO of your parents farm for the Urban kits! So beautiful – I love that paper and OA line! Great job! And thanks for all the sweet comments you leave on my blog! Good luck!
Wow, Kelly! Two such gorgeous layouts! My daughter just celebrated her 12th birthday too! It’s hard to see them grow up, isn’t it! Now, I have to ask you…where do you get chicken wire from? I love the look of it on layouts!
I love the banner photos in the first page and the color but the second page is SPECTACULAR!!! The vintage photos, the detail and layering- the color- just amazing! If you don’t mind I will pin that second page to my chipboard pin board on Pinterest? I’t’s incredibly inspiring. Thank you so much for swinging by my blog today- that Echo Park collection is just so beautiful- I didn’t do it justice this time but I have many pages to go- it’s my favorite right now. 🙂
gorgeous pages!!! oh my….your baby is 12 already! moments like that makes me need a tissue too!LOL! really love your farm page…great design and use of colors and textures! what a lovely and precious family photo! Ingrid xxx
Just found the ebook online and I am loving it!!! I am working on this sketch today, thanks so much for the inspiration, I think I will be stalking….ummm.. visiting your blog often 🙂
Both of your pages are totally amazing , Kelly!!!! And I love your sense of humor! I love how you named her BabyOfTheFamily!!!! And your three generations photo is so heartwarming! I am glad that you can still run faster than your mom, too!!! LOL! But I think she has you in the big hair department!!!!!!!!!
These are both just beautiful. I absolutely adore the heritage page. I never knew I “needed” chicken wire chip but gosh if I don’t want some now! That’s such a sweet photo there at the end. Love your writing your posts are always a joy to discover.
I’m with ingrid…I got a little teary eyed seeing the 3 generations of pickler’s pic! I love both of these pages and I’m always a fan of how you draw us in with your writing!
Congrats on the retreat and hope you’re having a wonderful time in Phoenix! Sorry you didn’t make the final cut for graphic45 but Donna is right, it’s their loss and I hope you’ll try again next year! You’re an amazing artist and storyteller and I love getting your blog emails! Big Hugs!
Congratulations Kelly! The retreat sounds great – what an honor for you. Sorry to hear about the Graphics 45 design team. You make wonderful stuff and I love coming to your blog to see what new technique you have done!
You will make the best instructor at the retreat! Sounds amazing. Now..I think G45 needs glasses, lol. Your fabulous talented and really…they are losing out. It’s just one bump in the road my friend!! Enjoy your holiday!
Have fun in the US! Hm, cactus and palm trees are pretty rare in Canada, eh?! LOL~ I see ’em daily here in SO Cal. Congrats on being chosen for the retreat 🙂
Looks like a great retreat. Wish me and my sisters could join you but that is the month of baby’s arrival so I won’t be straying too far from home. I know you will do a great job teaching!
You really would have been an asset to their team Kelly.. Your work is absolutely perfect, so much attention to detail and you make the cutest handmade embellishments.. I really hope you try again next year too!!! You are the second person that didn’t make it that really should have 🙁 Enjoy your break and congrats on the teaching gig!
Congratulatons on being the guest instructor at Scrapbook Your Heart! I went for the first time last year and had a fantastic time. Too bad I can’t go this year, but I know you are in such great company with Allison and Christy!
So sorry about the G45 team. I was rooting for you and Karen Zueger. You are both perfect for the team. Unfortunately in this business there is some rejection, but that doesn’t make you less of an artist. It is their loss for sure. Please don’t give up and do try again next year. You go girl! I believe in everything you do!
what great layouts, Kelly. I especially love the heritage one with the photos of your mom. What a wonderful way to showcase those old pictures, really love the amazing texture you’ve added with the glassine and chicken wire. Thanks for the inspiration!!!
Congrats on the wonderful news about the retreat, it sounds fab! As far as G45 goes,nothing ventured nothing gained. I’m so impressed you put yourself out there, it’s not an easy thing to do and you have a wonderful talent! Thanks for sharing it so freely. Hugs, Lisa
Such great news about the retreat! What a fun experience that will be! Congratulations on that! Sorry to hear about the Graphic 45, but what an accomplishment you had making the Top 30 there. Not many can say that. There’s always next year! Hope you enjoyed your Spring Break!
I was not surprised that you were chosen as G45 finalist….. BUT was really surprised they didn’t select you for their team. As others have said, it’s their loss! Keep creating with your great ideas, and congratulations on being invited to be an instructor at the retreat. Focus on the positive!
Oh, a retreat! How wonderful, Kelly. Those folks really tapped the right person. I know you will be an amazing teacher and really inspire the participants. Plus, I am sure they will laugh a lot in your class. I am already green with envy that I am not one of them…..Re: G45. Oh, so close and yet so far. Bummer! I thought *for sure* you would be chosen because you are the bomb diggity! I sound like your mom here, but I am proud of you for trying out. It required a certain boldness the way the audition process worked and of course you rocketed right into the top 30 as I knew you would. Tis their loss for sure, but now you have time to do other totally fab things like this retreat. So, yay! Now you have time, freedom and new gigs. Congrats, Kelly.
Kelly, I love this, also love reading and isn’t it so hard to get those teenagers to read LOL! Harry Potter, we have sooo much in common, take care and have a fantastic Easter x
Terrific page and a wonderful celebration of reading. I love the bookshelf you created. I have to say: I’m the kind of mom who gives books for Christmas too. In fact, I have it on good authority that my 3-year-old will find a book in his Easter basket!
Awesome Lo Kelly! The tag is gorgeous! I have that Coordinations pp and now you’ve made me wanna go dig it out! You always come up with the coolest ideas! And that bookshelf? LOOOOOVE it! Great idea. You did a fab job with this kit dear friend!
Love the paper pieced basketball Kelly!!! Yup…you had better figure out how to do a soccer ball and a vollyeball too heeehee… awesome take on the sketch! I’d better get my butt in gear and get mine done 🙂 . Weren’t you the cute cheerleader…something else we have in common…but I was NEVER on any of the sports teams…two left feet LOL! Big biryhday hugs to BG! Thiose strawberries sure looked good. Hope he had a great day! Hugs, michelle
Awesome layout, and I loved your technique! I totally understand about not having your head in the game….that was me as well. Seemed like there were so many other more “important” things to be thinking about.
LOL, your story made me laugh and yes I agree the boys hardly ever get featured! Love the layout, super cool and great action shot, note to self-Get one of DS playing rugby before school ends in July! Time flies, love the story of the cheer leading, not so big in the UK, I don’t think I would have made any of those teams, so well done you, take care, Doreen x
Kelly! I love your sense of humor and visiting your blog! It always makes me smile!!!!! I am so sorry that you did not make the Graphic 45 DT, but your sunny outlook always looks at the bright side of life! You have so many other oportunities and such wonderful talent! I love the sports page here! Just amazing! Have a wonderful day, my friend!!!!!
I absolutely love the page you made about your son!!! Your take on the sketch is fabulous! Happy belated birthday to Boy Genius!!!!! I REALLY love the photo of you as a cheerleader with the wonderful outfits that you and your mom made! You were probably the PERFECT cheerleader, because you sure are here! Thanks for the great big smiles this morning, Kelly!
AMAZING!! Wow..your projects are incredible Kelly. So inspiring and so creative. Thanks for the tutorials and close ups. Those baby blocks…WOW! Always a pleasure to stop by your blog.
Kelly, this is an adorable layout! It goes without saying that the baby photos are cuter than cute! Thanks for showing us how you put this layout together. I always appreciate it when someone takes all that time to post the tutorial. Gives me such inspiration. I really loved Michelle’s lattice cards when I saw them too!
Adorable!!! The baby’s only 3 months old? really? she looks so matured =) Love the layout!!! So many details, the blocks “baby” are just awesome!!! the tulle ruffle is also attractive. and all together it looks so well balanced! I truly enjoyed your layout =)
Good God Kelly! The amount of detail that went into your pages is phenomenal and it shows! That lattice window: amazing! Your title blocks: sweetly dimensional! Thank you for sharing your how to secrets!
Awesome posting Kelly! and soooo entertaining as usual. You are such a great story teller and always make me laugh! Love your tutorials …especially the baby blocks…they look so real! I think it was a stroke of brilliance that you did both a girl and a boy version of this Lo. Great idea. And thanks for the shout out my friend. Great big hugs to you…but for God’s sake don’t touch me with those smoke and cheesie stained hands Baaahaaa. Hugs! M
I love the lattice work behind the frame, the curtain and the skirt! Gotta love blue gingham as my boys’ baby cribs and curtains were that! The blocks are very well done!
Oh, this is beautiful! I love embossing foil. Have you seen the no more shims mat? Its awesome, I embossed coins (don’t know that I will use them) and an old piece of screen from an old door. You should google it if you haven’t seen them yet. I got mine at http://www.susanascustomartandcarddesign.com
Kelly this is fabulous! I love what you did with your handmade embellies. I’m learning there’s so much cool things that I’m missing out on…paper was my obsession, but now i’m thinking that other things might be added to that list! thanks for sharing this with us!!
I love what you did with this page Kelly! Those MME hexagons truly are pretty and your metal embellies are so well done! I love the look of embossed foil too (did you know that you can buy rolls of that sticky foil at places like Home Depot/ Lowes…I think it’s called foil tape!) Cheers!
Thanks for the little tutorial on the foil sheets! So cool the things you come up with! Love your layout and you’re really rocking those hexagons! Beautiful!
isn’t this technique great! I’ve used simple kitchen foil and that works very good as well! they are the perfect little touches for this lovely 2 pager! beautiful photo’s of your ‘little’ girl! enjoy your weekend sweetie! here in Holland the weather is soooo bad, rain,rain and more rain….blehhhh!!! but…perfect for scrapping though! Hugs Ingrid xxx
Hi kelly! Well, who need a class when we can come to your blog! Thank you SO MUCH for sharing your design tips with us! That butterfly looks amazing. But the star of your layout is the wonderful photos you took of your sweet daughter! I love them so much!!! Great 2-page layout!
I love your posts – you always make me laugh!!!!! I want those yellow hands!!! LOL! Thanks for the giggles this morning. And, your layout is lovely and so are the photos! TFS!
First of all, I’m cracking up at this funny post!! Sweaty hormonal teens LOL! Second, because of this LO, I went out and bought some Little Darling papers!! (SEE G45, you should have picked Kelly, she’s got selling power!!!!) TFS all the pics of the process, really informative and the blocks are awesome! Hugs to you sweet lady!!!
Oh dear…I see I’ve fallen behind in my blog commenting! 🙂 Love this Amazing Lo Kelly. The foil tut is awesome. I can see I’m going to have to break down and get some alcohol inks….I was never really sure what to do with them so wouldn’t invest in them. You always have something new and so interesting on your Los Kelly!
Loooooooove these cards Kelly…especially those adorable rolled flowers! The dies add such a lovely edging to the rolled flowers don’t they? I really like how you tucked in the ribbon bow behind them. Sweet little touch that gives it that something extra!
Oh, I am not a flower girl generally, but how I love those. You did a wonderful job with the flowers. That’s a great die. I love the beveled edges. Of course your cards are wonderful, too.
These cards are gorgeous, Kelly!!!! I love how the spiral flowers came out, too. I have been trying not to buy new scrapbook supplies, but I may have to cave in and buy this die!!!!! I am off to check out your tutorial, too! Thanks, Kelly, for sharing it with us!
hahahahah…..they soooooo should hire you!!!!!! girl..you are just too funny! can I scrap with you?lol oh….what a lovely photo of your baby girl! darling page! ps, thanks for the lovely comment on Tessa’s page! you know….all good things are from mom…hahahahaha!!
just love your details on embossing those gorgeous Magenta shapes!!! And you know I would buy all your ink colors…… don’t forget anti-wrinkle CREAM and Bifocal BLUES!!!
OH Kelly you’re too funny! I”m sure the menopausal and post-menopausal women may find that hard to resist! BUt, you’re not there yet?! And, I love what @Connie Nichol had to say- anti-wrinkle cream and bifocal blues. Perfect! The sketch and your interpretation of it is perfect and simply adorable! Makes me want to try it out now!
OMG! Too funny Kelly! Those inks would be BIG sellers for the over forty bunch LOL!Love your take on the sketch and love the embossing on the chippie pieces!
You crack me up! I say it’s a go for those names;) I KNOW Varicose Vein Purple first hand! Sounds like you had an awesome time…wow scrapping for 3 days? I’m jealous! Someday I tell ya, someday… Well I just love your page! Truly bright and fun…my fav part? Your chippie altering! Fantastic job woman! OK, must stop blabbing how…
Hee! Your post really made me smile. Love those names. And of course, I love and adore your page. Great pic and fab techniques. What a wonderful NSD weekend that must have been.
I would hire you in a second, Kelly!!!! I love the names, too, and would love to hear more of yours!!!!! Your layout is so awesome! I am very, very jealous that you had such a fun weekend, too! Now when are you coming to visit PA????? Thanks for the giggles this morning!
LOL at your take on the names, you made me laugh! Love your nature layout such a pretty line of paper and the main pic is lovely, thanks for always popping into my blog and leaving a comment, so nice at the end of a long day, take care, Doreen x
It’s the same thing where I work (and probably just about any place that anyone else works). All day long, all I see are the employees playing around with their dang phones (iPhones, Droids, you name it). Even the older (40 & up) crowd has turned into a bunch of teenagers when it comes to their mobile devices. As difficult as it might be for someone to believe, I don’t own one of these devices yet. I’m still old school with my 7 year old Sony Ericsson cell phone. I told myself that I wouldn’t upgrade until my phone kicked the bucket. Well, I must have one of the only (old) cell phones on the planet that just won’t break….no matter what I put it through…lol So, in the meantime, not only am I the most mobile device challenged person on the planet, I’m also the only one at my place of employment getting any work done….lol
Kelly, LOVED reading your post (and the post about Mexico–or should I say the hand?? though I loved the pic with her holding the camera. very unique!!) and your lo is so fun! Love the mixture of patterned papers, and the bows are such a neat touch!
HA ha ha, love the post Kelly!!! You did get some great pics out of it! This LO is awesome, love the details and the row of pics on the banner (great idea!) Good luck tearing your fam away from the I phone 🙂
Kelly your stories are always so honest and humorous. We call my son’s i-phone his third arm. He can play basketball and ping pong and still doesn’t miss a text. I shake my head in wonder some days. I just giggled when I saw the photos in the bathroom. What girl hasn’t done that…I’m tempted!! Next time at Urban..we are going to do it, lol. Your layout is fabulous! I love all the details. I can’t wait for your kids to get older and sit down and look through their layouts.
Funny story, like the LO…bows are so creative and unique, Kelly! WHen my dd takes pics of herself they come out really nice, but anytime I’ve tried it myself my smile looks forced and I look terrible! lol. Enjoy the weekend with your family. My dd just finished her school year so we get to sleep in! xo
haha! My daughter is the same…she doesn’t have an iphone, but is constantly taking pics (mostly of herself). She actually did take a photography class this year and is quite an amazing little photographer now. LOVE this post and LOVE the lo!!!
OMG! I know I’ve said it a thousand times before but you really DO crack me up Sweetie! Thanks for the giggles this early in the AM! Glad to see that “The Hand” will at least take her own photos! All is not in vain {or should I say it IS when it comes to teengae girls …but at least their self photo obssession gives us ample scrapping material!LOL}I know , I know …I’m always threatening to have the kids ‘ cellphones surgically removed from theit fingertips. Altho I have to confesss that seeing all those awesome photo filters makes me wanna rush right out and buy an i- phone.
Your posts always make me smile, Kelly!!!! I absolutley LOVE why you hate the i-phone!!!!! Love all of the photos your dd took and how there were FOUR good ones in the bunch! And the layout you made is absolutely amazing!!!!! As always, my friend! I hope you are having a good weekend!
Love the bow ties (& you got a good photo of her in the layout!) Also love the picture of you and your birthday flowers (if I remember right, I think your birthday is the same as my oldest……Have a great week Kelly!
You had me at that first photo. Oh my gosh. I totally get you on this. We went on a family trip to the beach with extended family and cousin A, then 14, had her phone in hand 24/7, texting away and taking pics. It was really sad to me. But, I love the way you turned your frustration into a very funny post and totally fab page. Such fun pops of color. I always love your posts and your work. 🙂
This is such a fantastic lo, Kelly! I love projects like this, I think its such a neat idea to document your year this way. I especially love that there’s journalling tags behind each month on your lo! Ingenious!!
I love year in review LOs! especially when I’m in it! LOL. Visiting you was certainly the highlight of my year last year!{ now its your turn to visit me!} This Lo certainly hits the nail on the head with the Simple Stories challenge, Kelly! I bet the ladies who attended your class at Urban absolutely loved this awesome LO!
Fun trip! Love how you did the title, and LOVE that you used the old …ack! cant think of the name of it…the round thingy with pics in it. Seriously, it is the pits getting older! lol Happy June:)
Kelly, down South when we say “it’s that time of the month” we mean that Aunt Flo has come for a visit….But I figured you probably were not blogging about *that” though I have no doubt you would make it a very funny post and I was almost looking forward to reading it. LOL.
Onto your page. Well, it’s wonderful of course. I LOVE your title work: the way you did the count and the placement. All the little pennants peeking out are adorable and all your pics so sweet. Vacations like that always seem better remembered than they were at the time…… Although 7 days in Spain sounds wonderful to me right now. My family spent a summer in England (Dad was working there) when I was 16 and my brother was 12 and I am sure my mom has similar stories….What I remember about France was wanting to order French fries….and expecting them to completely wow me because, you know, we were in France and all….
You did a great take on the sketch! It’s hard to use that many photos on a layout and yours look fantastic! I think everyone who has kids remembers times like these while travelling. I missed the Jurassic Park ride at Universal Studios because my “then too young DD” didn’t want to go on it. Oh well…now it’s just another excuse why you and your DH need to go on a second honeymoon so you can see everything!
Yep, that title caught my eye;) Though I figured it was something else you’d be writing about!! Gorgeous job of getting so many photos onto one layout…using the banners and circular picture thing-a-ma-bobs (I cannot remember what they’re called!) not only frames the photos well but helps move the eyes across the photos:) You are brave for taking the 3 to Europe but I’ve traveled with little ones too and I totally agree, I never regret it!
You might not be as young sweetie ..but you are still beautiful! Love your Lo Kelly. Great take on the sketch…still nice and clean looking despite all the photos! :). I don’t know what you were so worried about! You pulled it off spectacularly! Had a great laff at the thought of Hubby getting to go into the museum and you being stuck outside with the kids…you’re too nice…it would have been ME in the museum and ROB stuck outside haha!Love the way you did your title too!
Hi! I have to start I feel the same about orange:)But I love Webster`s pages and I aslo liked a lot this month sketch :), can you tell me where do you buy Magenta?I can not find it in any shop near by and have olnt some old paper from them.
Solid backsides, lol. I do love the new clean and simple Webster’s. You did a beautiful job with this collection. Love the pops of orange. They are perfect. The journaling is really cute. Such a sweet pic of BotF.
What a fabulous way to incorporate the bingo cards and a whole year in review in a double pager. I really love this design and seeing all of those special pictures. 🙂
Love this bright sunshiny page kelly! Thanks for showing the close up of the sun…very cool effect with the paint and glitter! and I love how you did the title!
Totally fab, as always. Aw, look at that crafty baby of the family! Your flowers turned out great. I love your pretty pink bow. My bows never turn out that nice. Maybe that should be your next tutorial. 🙂
Hi Kelly! Thank you so much for visiting my blog!!! I love your page that you created with the sketch! It’s absolutely adorable and perfect! TFS the info here! And big congrats to you , my sweet friend!!
“SWEET” page! I worked on my version yesterday, happy with the results, although double pages take me out of my single page comfort zone! I will post soon!
Ahh, Kelly. . . the seed packs is such a great idea. (Love “Sweet William”) DQ did a great job with her layout and you did a great job with her hair. She looked great. Can’t wait for the layout on the big glasses!
Ha you weren’t HIDEOUS!! We all looked so dated back then! You could have looked a thousand times worse! Your DQ looks stunning! It is amazing how much older kids seem nowadays isn’t it? LOVE your LO, the seed packet idea is awesome!
Holy Cow. THAT is 9th grade? How times have changed. DQ sure is a stunner. Re: the other pics…..well, you gotta love that oval frame that doesn’t quite crop into the rectangle shape of the 7th grade portrait. 🙂 You look perfectly lovely and smart in your scarfs and cowl necks. Your layout is wonderful, as always. The seed packets are super cute. Fun idea.
Love the pics of your daughter!! What a beauty! Love the lo she created! Love your lo too! You do need to create a lo with your old photos. You were far from hideous…you should see my pics from that time period.
Kelly! Thank you so much for providing your “on-line” class, since I live a bit too far to attending one of yours!!!! I love what you did with this amazing page! Your daughter photo is so beautiful! And wowza! Thank you for sharing your photos – I had those exact same glasses!!!! The bigger the better was the saying back then! And your dd created a beautiful layout, too – I see another scrapper in the family! Thank you so much for always putting a smile on my face when I visit your blog!!!!!
Your daughter is gorgeous and as always your pages are inspiring! Love the photos of you in Junior High! and I would love to see a Big.. Bigger.. and BIGGEST layout! LOL!
OMG! you haven’t changed a bit since school Kelly! Well….except for much smaller glasses of course! I think the idea for big ….bigger…biggest LO is an awesome idea and I’m looking forward to seeing it! Serena looked STUNNING and I’m so happy to see pics of her WITHOUT her hand covering up her gorgeous face!Some of your scrappy talent has definitely rubbed off on the child. Loved the tut for the tissue paper sun. great idea. I’ll be checking out that link too for those seed packets. Beautiful work as always dear friend!
Great LO…like how you made the sun, Kelly. Haha…you crack me up…gotta say you are a brave woman to post your middle school pics and I love your idea for a LO based on your glasses. Tis the age, eh? Hair coloring? My dd also wanted to color her hair in 9th/10th grade to brunette, like mine, although she is a natural blonde. She switched back by Junior yr…lol. HUGS
I love summer, too, Kelly!!!!! I never had a pedicure before 2 years ago, now I am hooked!!!! I even paint my own toe nails now!!!!! I think I need to make a fun summer page in honor of yours!!!! Thanks for sharing! Oh, and I love the sketch, too!
This is so beautiful Kelly!! Love the Stampin Up products you used, but the last time I looked into it their stuff was so expensive! What do you think?
Toe-Tally Cute is right my friend! Omg …how cute is this kelly? What a great idea for a Lo and all those Stampin’ Up products look great together.Love how you did the title …especially the denim bow behind the letters.This LO makes me wanna go dig out my nailpolsh bottles! 🙂
Great Lo – and your daughter is beautiful! They do grow up so fast!! I do love the stampin up paper…those doilies can do with anything!!! Great take on the sketch!!
Wow Kelly, such a pretty page! It’s a lot of eye candy with those bright, fun colors, and crisp edges! Really well done! Hope you’re having a wonderful summer!
Lots and lots of wonderful details on this page! There’s a sweet, homey feel to this page with that woven background and handmade fabric flowers and it certainly complements and precious photo!!
Oh boy I know what you mean about turning back time Kelly 🙁 I really love your LO, all the flowers and stickers are perfectly placed, and the woven mat is so suited for this precious pic! Great work as always hon 🙂
gorgeous layout, Kelly, especially love the weaving and what you did with the twine. And I know exactly what you mean about time and how rapidly our parents can age and have their health deteriorate. It’s good to capture the photo memories because often your kids will not remember when their grandpa was vigorous and fun to play with.
What a gorgeous, fun and sweet layout! Love all the close ups of the details. The woven mat is really a great idea and looks fantastic on this layout! Hope you are having a great summer!
very cool Kelly. Love the woven photo mat! very creative. Love those denim flowers… I just threw an old pair of jeans in the laundryroom waste basket …think I’ll go dig them out and drag out my tattered flowers die!!!!
Oh the things I’m sure you could come up with to pay them back Kelly!!! Good luck!! I’m giggling right now, but also kind of shivering since I know I’m in for the same thing in about 8 years when mine becomes a “tween”!!!!
I totally get it! My daughter was the messiest make up person alive. But now she lives up near Edmonton and I don’t get to see her much. It is bittersweet to see them grow up and I know that they will be having their own kids someday and then they will get it all back. LOL.
My BOF (a boy) and I shared a bathroom. He was a clean freak (took at least 2 showers a day). One day I fell getting out of the shower trying to step over…………….17 bottles of shampoos and body wash…………and less than 1/2 of those were mine.
After he got his own apartment I left some of his body wash in that shower thinking he’d be here to take a shower every now and then. It was a year later I got rid of it. Kind of sad. . . but he’s only 3 miles away. Love your story Kelly.
OMG!!!! You make me laff!!! When you talked about the hotel soaps your hubby saves…US TOO! I swear we have years worth of soaps and shampoos! Although I don’t want silent revenge by using all Taylor’s manly scents, he DOES have a drugstore worth of products for his 17 year old body! Keep us smiling! Write on!
Oh you crack me up Kelly! I feel your pain! Nothing I own is safe from Chelsea…the ultimate revenge is when she has it stashed in her room and I have to go in and wake her up to find it…especially when I have to work and its HER day off! Serves her right! LOL You are always so entertaining dear friend! I guess we might as well laugh at all this…it beats crying!
Kelly, this is fabulous. I totally agree that it’s a great way to just let go and let the creative freedom flow. Thanks for sharing how you did your page. You are so creative my friend!! You always inspire me to step out of the box and try something new. This is just WOW!
OMG we are living he same life!!! I have bought 16 lip gloss this year… Not a single one is in my make up drawer!!! And Brushes!!! I hide mine in my panty drawer… Only place they will not go look!
LOL. Yes, time for a little revenge! The soap comparison really made me laugh and the poor broken hairbrush they left you with. Aw. Great post, Kelly. So funny and true. You just have to laugh!
That’s such a wonderful photo, Kelly. It really made me smile. Then I got to the end of your post and nearly cried! You’re such a great writer. Beautiful work. Love your twine flower. So fun! I love this SS collection!
I have been wanting to start an art journal for awhile now, Kelly, but just haven’t gotten the time! Your page is an inspiration to us all! Thank you for sharing with us how you made it, and for sharing the other blogs! I am going to check them out! Hey, have a great weekend, my friend!!!!
Yes! Kelly this is awesome! So glad to see you art journaling 😀 I remember you writing that you wanted to do this…love it! You just inspired me to bust my journal out again…thank you!
I feel your pain! LOL! It did improve significantly when DD1 and DD2 moved, however they still visit frequently and “borrow” things! Every now and then I go to their places to see what I can find of mine and return it home!
I can see how the freedom of an art journal would be very liberating. You have done such a wonderful page! I love looking at these kinds of pages. So unique to each person.
So many great ideas Kelly! I love that you share your process while creating. I don’t know how many times I haven’t had the right color embellishment and just didn’t think to alter it! DUH! Thanks for the reminder that all those bottles of mists, sprays and inks aren’t just to look at! LOL!
I love the picture of your daughter! Great job Mom! All the altering is well done Kelly! Thanks for the visit and comment on the vintage scrapbook pages. I too cut pictures from magazines and pasted them into scrapbooks…..most of mine though were “celebrities”. Have a good evening!
Another beautiful layout filled with your special touches. Your tutorial should be titled: “Don’t worry if the colour of your embellishment isn’t right – you can change it!” You have included so many ways to use the Distress Ink – Tim would be thrilled.
Wow Kelly. Loooove all the altering tips. I don’t know why I don’t think of doing that kind of stuff more often! Love all your close ups too. Great page!
This is gorgeous Kelly!! I love how you break down each element of your page and show pictures!! It is super helpful, I usually never have a question about what product you used or how you did it. I just started playing with Gesso so I know what you mean about the mess!!! And love the hand cut waves and the way you curled the banners, so cute!!
Great page!! I am also a scrapbooker who has ventured out into the Art Journaling world over the past year. Looking forward to seeing some more of your work!
a Bazzill groupie!!!! OMG Kelly you crack me up. What an AWESOME take on this months sketchy challenge. You are really rockin’ [pun intended :)} the mixed media stuff Kelly!Thanks for all the tuts on using these products!
Too cool Iove it! You are brave… all that messy paint would send me in an anxiety attack I think, LOL. BUT… I just ordered myself the whole SET of gelatos (a little tamer, hee, hee)
You ROCK, sista!!!!! I LOVE this page, SO MUCH!!! I can’t wait to see what your create with the art journal page of black stars!!! SO cool!!!! Oh,by the way, I absolutely LOVE following your blog – your sense of humor and great scrapbook and art tips really inspire me when I come to visit!!!!!! thanks for sharing your talent with us! Now ROCK ON!
So awesome and fun! You are always the teacher – telling us how you did all of your wonderful details here! I love the photo and that special moment you scrapped, Kelly!
What a transformation. Wow. Even boy genius will approve of this page! You have got the technique! I always learn something new when I come to your blog. I am so going to try that Smooch trick. So cool. Love the stencil and gesso idea too.
Oh boohoo for me! 🙁 I wanna come and take your class Kelly. Any chance on a house visit to teach it ? Heehee. You’ll knock ’em dead ! Such a talented lady!
Very pretty album Kelly – love the colors you used and your DQ is beautiful! It’s amazing how fast they grow up – it seems to fly by doesn’t it? Thanks for all the nice comments you leave on my blog – it’s so nice to have people leave comments and yours are always so kind!
What a beautiful album. Your daughter is going to cherish this for years to come. I love all your techniques..and WOW you did an amazing job with the Prima line. Ohhh I remember the start of highschool with my daughter…GOOD LUCK!!! lol
OMG your DD is so beautiful and growing up so fast! What a sweet album to highlight such a special event. Love the way the photo of your DD with the white background so all the focus is on her face…so pretty. My DD will be starting high School next year and I’m feeling a little in shock right now that this is the last year of middle school. I have 9 more days til school starts here and I want to just have a few more morning of calm before I have the crazy morning routine start again. I hope your DD has a wonderful year! Hugs, Lisa
OOOO Gorgeous mini Kelly!DQ looked so elegant and grown up. A beautiful lady…just like her mama! Love all the misting on the cover and loved the tut on the feather! Any chance alittle of that tissue paper coul fly into your suitcase before you come to visit me? nudge nudge wink wink 🙂
That looked like some party! Well your daughter is beautiful and you must be so proud of her! That mini album is a beautifully done, precious gift..she must’ve loved it! Your feather looked very cool too…who knew tissue paper could be so versatile? Thank you so much for all your visits and wonderful comments on my blog Kelly, they always bring a smile to my face (and thanks for the encouragement on the Faber Castell DT!) Have a great week!
I love your long posts because I get to see and hear more about YOU, Kelly! This mini-album absolutely ROCKS!!!!! Your daughter is going off to high school -such an amazing milestone in her life! Congrats!!!! Thank you so much for sharing how you made your lovely and creative album! I really like your “tips” and think you should be writing a book!!!! I mean it!
I want to come!! I want to come!!!! I wish we lived closer!!! Do you like my wining?! All kidding aside, I am sending great big CONGRATS to you, my dear friend! I know you will do a wonderful job and all of your participants will come away with more knowledge about scrapping and creativity!
Love the soft color pallet for these photos, it is perfect. Beautiful pictures Kelly as always, great use of ribbon and the cheese cloth adds elegance to the pages. Very nice work Kelly.
Congrats, Kelly. I know your class – and the album – will be amazing. I love the sneaks. Sure wish I could be your student. I’d love to learn at the hand of a master. 🙂 G45 knew what it was doing, sending you that package and sponsoring the event!
I remember those gorgeous photos of your daughter. I must say that I looked NOTHING like that when I finished 9th grade. Nope. But I think I remember now that you posted your own 9th grade pic in the original post. Yup, that’s what I’m talking about! Style, baby!
Your album is just scrumptious. You have so many great details and beautiful touches. I love the idea of a vellum (or glassine) envelope at the end to hold the extra photos. Must remember that for my own albums. The feather is so cute and I so want to make one now. The bird – and the window! – are totally awesome. I hope you sent images of this project over to Prima and posted it on their FB wall. 🙂
It’s amazing to me that a 9th-grade farewell party has morphed into an almost-prom these days. Had to chuckle at the spray tan request. Oh, kids today. I feel so old!
LOL! “Sniffing of Stazon”..I hear you girl, I like the smell too 😉 What an AWESOME page! Would never have know you had any fears based on the way you handled yourself! And wow, wow, you rocked the stamps!! Those frames are so eye-catching and I LOVE the washi stamps…who knew! Uh, I think I’m headed over to Unity…ciao!
Kelly!!!!! Such an awesome and amazing page!!! I love all of your wonderful and creative details! You inspire me each time I see one of your posts!!! What I love about your layout: Everything!!!! But I especially like the stamped camera and filmstrip on the transparency, and the little veneer people look amazing!!!!!! Your dd is just lovely! TFS!!!!
These photos of BabyOfTheFamily are so sweet and happy. She is just beautiful. Your page is remarkable. I have to say that stamps are my least used supply. I LOVE what you did here with them though and must drag mine out. You do love to enable me! That was such a clever idea to stamp the film strip and camera on a transparency. I do think I need that washi stamp set! Everything works together so well on your page. I love the potty people too. I have those and several other of the SC veneers. They are so fun and versatile. Brilliant idea to snap that frame apart to make quote brackets. I love when you include little tips like that! Great work, as always. Terrific page.
As the kids say Kelly – “This is the BOMB!” HA – well, hopefully they still do 😉 I have never successfully stamped on a LO, I just find it to be such a challenge! And I agree with you about the SC paper and the graphic look – I just bought the Abroad pack the other day, it’s my very first from that company!! I feel like you’ve thrown down the gauntlet and now I have no choice but to face my fears as well! Thanks for always inspiring 🙂
Oh Kelly – this is why you are so successful! You take a problem and face it head on until you have it completely licked. I love this layout and your clever use of those fantastic stamps. You once shared with me that you are not a fan of papers with white backgrounds and you used those too! What a great way of capturing your dd’s personality. This layout is a winner – congrats.
WOW, wow, wow!!! Gosh girl, you continue to amaze me every time! I love all the stamping. I was looking at the film strip…going “how did she do that”, and then I see your tutorials. I know it takes so much time to share every step of your layout, but I know I sure appreciate it. You did fabulous with all those things that make “you run” lol. ( I run from stripes, lol)
i hope you didn’t sniff too much ? LOL…I’m with you tho… I love the smell of Stazon! Awesome Lo Kelly! I love it!!!! So many awesome ways you used the stamps! Very creative for a so called ” non – stamper” { I think you can safely drop that title now Kelly! }You ARE a stamper!!!!:) I can see I’m gonna have to go get these stamps… I especially love the film strip one! Beautiful photos od BOF…she’s looking so grown up …sniff sniff…
Did you know Kelly that if you hadn’t left me your message on my blog last night I would not have know about Faber Castell!! THANK YOU! 🙂 I swear I checked several times yesterday and I didn’t see anything…eagle eyes girl, eagle eyes;) Thank you friend for all the encouragement you give! Cheers!!
This layout is stunning and THANK YOU FOR THE GREAT TUTORIAL on how you did it. I have some of those stamps so I will pull them out for my next layout. Beautiful work. Unity stamps are wonderful to use on layouts.
Nothing like sniffing ‘stuff’ to make creating a lot more…creative! I love your step by step instructions, even though I’m mostly unfamiliar with the terminology and products. I’m more of a fabric artist as you saw from my blog…but had to come back and take another look here after your lovely compliment. I think it’s awesome to begin with a layout that you then make your own. Yours turned out wonderful and is a great way to capture this special time in your daughter’s life.
I was in awe of this layout when I saw it at Urban, and am now even more in awe when I see all the fine details explained. I’m in LOVE with those sunflowers. Your attention to every little details shows. This is a fabulous layout Kelly!
Now that is a gorgeous fall page! And man oh man the amount of details….so helpful to understand how you made them too! Yes, you sure made those dies work for you!
As always, a wonderful job Kelly. I saw this at Urban and LOVED how the sunflowers look. I may have to find some sunflowers to take pics of the kids with just so I can use this technique on a page!
Wow!! What a fabulous layout and your attention to detail is over the top!! LOVE how you did everything and shared all the techniques! Fantastic work!!
Oh my Kelly! This Lo is simply stunning!! Your attention to detail is astounding and I love that you include so many detailed shots of all your special handmade touches. Those sunflowers ROCK!!!! I would suggest bribery with MONEY for this year’s fall photoshoot!lol
so awesome! I love that sunflower and I have to get my hands on some of those copper beads!!! Don’t worry about heading to my blog btw…still haven’t updated crappola! lol
Wow! So many fabulous details, the microbe ads on the sunflower creates such a beautiful texture. And I really like the fence with the black crackle. Bo bunny did a great job with this collection and you used it in the most beautiful and creative way.
Hi Kelly! This layout is so beautiful – you have included so many wonderful details. I bet your students were thrilled with being able to take such a gorgeous piece of art home with them.
The sunflowers. SWOON! I’d give you an A+ just for those. But of course your whole creation is an A+. You never disappoint. Gorgeous layout. Great pic of the kiddos too. That crow rocks!
Kelly you are just the absolute QUEEN of LO’s! So many gorgeous techniques, I am just blown away! Especially digging the sunflowers girl!!!! Wish I lived close enough to take one of your classes..Very well done as usual 😉
Hi Kelly! Thank you so much for visiting my blog and for leaving such sweet comments! The minute I saw this layout on facebook I had to find out who made this beautiful creation! You inspired our whole team with this layout! Great work and love your layout!
What a wonderful story and it’s so great that you know so much about her and her life. Really does make you stop and think, doesn’t it? Your layout is gorgeous and a lovely tribute to this strong and brave woman.
Well Kelly, I guess we are all guilty of whining occassionally ….our lives are certainly easier than our forefathers { errr…foremothers}. We do still have our own challenges raising kids these days that they could never have imagined. Beautiful tribute to a beautiful woman. How fortunate that you had the opportunity to share all these memories and photos with her!
Such an amazing and wonderful story, Kelly! She was and is an inspiration to us all! I am so happy that you shared her legacy with us – otherwise I would never have known about her. To me, this is what scrapping is all about! Thank you, Kelly!!!!!!!
Gorgeous story and LO Kelly!! You are absolutely right. I was feeling overwhelmed too lately.. the cleaning and work just never seems to end and sometimes it gets to ya! Thanks for reminding me of how good I have it!!!!! Big hugs!
What a beautiful reminder that when life gets us stressed we can remember her story. I can’t imagine all the trials she went through in her life. To lose your children and to keep on going, that is one brave woman. I’m in awe of her life. You showcased her photo brilliantly with all your beautiful details, yet kept the focus on her photo. Thank you for sharing her beautiful story and your layout with us.
LOVE this layout!!! What an incredible story. I’m so glad you got to know her and get those little stories that go along with old photos. Sometimes it is those little stories that get forgotten to be retold.
Oh my goodness, history is amazing and yes, I agree with how scrapbooking really lets us preserve that history! Amazing page Kelly, and what a fantabulous tribute to your grandmother-in-law!!
thanks for sharing this Kelly! You are so right….as a mother, sometimes we get a little frustrated with all the roles we have to do…but we have it so easy really. I thoroughly enjoyed reading all about your husband’s amazing grand-mother….and what a treasure of heritage photos you have! LOVE the work you did on such a beautiful tribute page to “Oma”!
WOW! THis is gorgeous in more ways than one Kelly! I love the story you shared about her and I hope you will be sharing more of those photos on layouts soon!
Amazing life story. To have such loss in her life, her heart must of been ripped apart. You honoured her beautifully!! The layout is gorgeous as all your work. Your xmas cards you have in your gallery are absolutely stunning!! What a special gift in receiving one of your beautiful works of art, that delivery christmas cheer. I didn’t even realize you have been teaching at The Urban scrapbook, I’m surprised I haven’t run into more often!… I’ll have to check out the list of your classes next time I’m in. Great to finally meet you. Maybe we’ll run into each other again someday. Take care. And thanks for sharing this amazing life story. Sherry P
It was a fabulous retreat – and it was fantastic to meet you in person!!! 🙂 Hope that we can do it again soon! You know my door is always open for you! 😛 🙂
What a beautiful friendship you share with Michelle. The trip sounds like such an amazing time. Love all the photos..it’s a dream of mine to travel to the East Coast one day. Absolutely gorgeous scenery.
How ya gettin on me ol’ cock? LOL and long may your big jub draw!! Fantastic to see you and put a face to the name!! I am so elated that got a chance to spend time with Michelle and us of course!!
Can’t believe six days went so bloody FAST! We never got to do half the things you wanted to do { puffins, whales, lighthouses etc lol} I was sooooo happy to have you visit Nfld Kelly. Of course this only means that you have to come back again to see all the things we never got a chance to do on this trip. So now I guess its back to Skyping 🙁 . But I’m already making plans to come to Edmonton for next year’s Carnival! It was my pleasure to Screech you in…and you were a wonderful sport about it! Great big hugs!
Looks like you had a fabulous time. I lived in Fort McMurray for 5 years and met a lot of Newfoundlanders. Some of the nicest people I have met and would love to visit there. So nice for you to have such a great friendship through meeting with another scrapbooker online. Beautiful photos!
reading this just brought the hugest smile to my face!!! A most excellent adventure!!! I think many of us are envious we weren’t there too, but maybe some day……… there would have to be puffins though. 😉
It was awesome to meet you! It was like meeting a famous singer for me to have a class taught by a published designer! I can now say I scrapbooked with a pro! lol! It was the first Screech In that I ever saw and I got it all in pictures to scrapbook! Hope to see you again sometime! Happy Scrapbooking!
Oh, what fun! Looks like a treasured friendship, creativity and fun all in a scenic setting! I am so glad you had the opportunity to go and enjoy yourself. Hmm, kissing a cod I could handle, but I think I’d pass on the screeching. haha~ Enjoy the end of Sept, Shawn
We were so glad to see you (what a nice surprise!!). I learned a lot from your class and had a great time enjoying the personalities of online friends!! Hopefulyl you’ll be back someday! BY the way, I love love the tea cup picture… funny, I thought only my family got the cups out for a traditional cup of tea!
lol! It looks like you had so much fun, and I can’t believe you kissed a fish! I am a little jealous, I’ve never been to a crop let alone a retreat, it looks like such a blast!
Kelly, such a poignant and heartwarming, heartwrenching story you have told here! I haven’t seen you for a while at sb.com. so I decided to check out your blog because I miss you!! I will be a follower! The blog stuff is kind of new to me, and I have been toying with the idea of starting one. Anyway, I love the work you did with your heritage page, and the earlier autumnal post is fabulous too! I hope you get this message, being late and all posting this. Thanks for sharing your wonderful work!!
Look at her! WOW! I can definitely see the difference, looks like she’s aged several years over the summer! How does this happen to us Kelly? Our babies aren’t babies anymore 🙁 I’m over here crying right along with ya! Tell BOF her hair and outfit look gorgeous!!
Kelly, so funny that you should talk about the changes in BOF. Mine was exactly the same way. She seemed to literally grow up overnight. I’m still not sure how it happened. Anyways, love your layouts and thanks for sharing the inpiration from some friends too!
Hello, Kelly – I said that I would hop over to your blog, and here I am. It took quite some time to go through all that I have had time to see; this is truly proof of how busy your life has become, but how much fun are you having!!! I will stop by again, another time, to say hello. Have a creative year. Hugs, Fran (Quick Silver)
Great sketch, beautiful layout but I`m the most impressed by the change of your DD look. Just take best regards from another Mom Bird, would be so great to meet one day!
YOUR dbl page sketch is on my to-do list! Love reading your “words”…they are heart felt with a touch of humour! <3...that would be a heart in FB world!
I’m not a two-pager girl myself, though I ALWAYS love your work. That single page sketch is great, though, and I ADORE your take on it. Gorgeous. The pic and the page. Baby of the Family is a stunner!
Oh my goodness! You two are just so cute!! Glad you got to go on such a big trip and what a picturesque place!!! Loved Michelle’s beautiful backyard! The last pics of your initiation had me cracking up 🙂 Great post, thanks for sharing your special trip with us Kelly & Michelle!
KELLY!!!!! I absolutely LOVE both of your amazingly wonderful and creatively spooky albums!!!! You created Halloween masterpieces here! Thank you so much for sharing them with us!
Oh my goodness! They do grow up so quickly, don’t they, Kelly!!!!! I am not looking forward to our baby of the family growing up – just yet!!!! LOL! And wow – I love how you shared the sketches, your work, and the others here on your blog. Such wonderful inspiration to us all!!!!!!!
What great photos, Kelly. I feel like I was there with you! I am so happy that you had a wonderful time and thank you for introducing us to Michelle, too!
That is too adorable!! And that it came together so quickly and smoothly is a double whammy! If I were in your vicinity I’d take your class b/c I really couldn’t make a mini to save my life!! Well done Kelly:)
I love the spooky mini album. All the techniques are awesome, especially the stamp and chipboard elements. I always love visiting your blog and seeing what fabulous projects your working on. I miss all the papers,scissors and glue!
Such amazing layouts, Kelly! I love both of them, and I always like getting to know you a little better through your scrapbook pages! I think all of your photos, little details, journaling, and designs are just wonderful!!!!
These turned out great, Kelly. I really like the design of both. I love when you point out the details and little tips, like outlining titles with a marker. I always learn something new here! I haven’t used FP in a long time either, but I just got The Good Life and am anxious to play. It looks really fun.
Good for you Kelly….about your voluntarism. I did a lot of volunteering when my children were little and I was a SAHM. You are one busy lady!!! Big hugs to YOU!
Well it appears I’m a lousy friend! So sorry I missed this posy kelly! It is adorable! I love the little stamp embellie on top of the rosettes. Such a cute little touch! oh ya…be grateful BOF only wants to play with fake TNT!lol
Wow! You’ve been busy! Some lucky friends and family are going to get those beautiful Xmas cards and so much for not being a mini album person! Your recipe mini is so bright and fun, looks yum, yum!
So many great detail and textures Kelly! The embossing looks awesome the kitty is so cute and all the doors and flaps make it even more fun. I just love Halloween!! Hugs, Lisa
Happy belated Halloween, Kelly! I love your mini-album so much! It is filled with lots of amazing details made cool by YOU!! I love the photos you shared of your kids, too. Awesome and fun!!!!!
Good thing computer screens are waterproof! I’m drooling over this GORGEOUS Lo! You have totally ROCKED this sketchy challenge Kelly. Those B/W photos of BG are beautiful { nice to see his smile back again! 🙂 }. Love the tags for the photo mats! Thoes Indigo Bleu pps are gorge! Awesome job my friend!HUGS
Kelly, this really warms my heart! I not only love the layout and your take on the sketch, but I LOVE the message behind it. It is amazing when kids transform and grow into beautiful young adults! How could they not with you as their mom???? Anyway, I really like your take on the sketch and the papers you picked to use, too!
Fantastic take on the sketch, Kelly! I love how you matted your skinny photos with those beautiful tags, and the topic of your project. OH, and your son is gorgeous, just like his mama!
I love how you documented his growth spiritually and emotionally over the last year in this layout. The photos on the tags are my favorite part of the layout. Absolutely love your take on the sketch!
Snowy? LOL! More like blizzardy! Super, super beautiful layout Kelly! I love all the great accents and that paper line is just to die for. You use it so well. Love all your embellishing too!
Awww this is the kind of page you frame up! It’s too cute! Was that photo taken over 10 years ago already?! I think I’m going to go give my little toddler another hug before that blink of an eye happens…
What a gorgeous LO!! I love your bingo card title and the charming cluster with the key!! I have sent you an email at the address listed at the top of your blog. Thanks so much for responding when you have the opportunity. ~ Blessings, Tracey
Snowy!!! What?!? It’s almost 90 here…so I can’t imagine. But I can imagine how much love you put into this beautiful page. Makes me want to work with subdued colors.
Oh two is the most adorable age. I miss that stage of just learning to talk and hearing “Mommy” for the first time…Heaven. This is so beautifully done with all the soft embellies made from fabric and lace. Just perfection.
Now I KNOW I am a nasty friend…thought for sure I had already commented on this…must have been on Facebook…it was only last night I was looking at some old photos and thinking how cute the kids were…somedays don’t you wish we could go back in time? Love this whole gorgeous Lo Kelly! those fabric flowers from the Tattered flower die cut are beautiful…I don’t know why I never think of cool ideas like that????
Aw, look. Baby even has a flower in her hand for momma. Your layout is gorgeous. Love the lace touches and the play on time with the clock, key and bingo cards. Exquisite as always, Kelly.
Wow, those photos are fabulous. You captured him beautifully. He is one handsome boy and I love that he has a big heart and big dreams too. I wouldn’t have had a clue how to turn that sketch into a page. You worked some magic! A wonderful, meaningful, fabulous layout.
So many wonderful details in that album! Love the cheesecloth clouds, especially. You have such great techniques and fun tips like using a heat gun to soften and mold the bat wings. I always learn something here! Love your ideas and the whole album.
Fun pics of the kiddos. Got a kick from the 50s waitress with the cell phone tucked into her sock!
Oh my Kelly! They grow up so fast and then go off to college!!! In the blink of an eye!!!!! I love how you scrapped this amazing and sweet photo of your daughter. Beautifully!!!!!
The photos are amazing! So many cool things to see. It must have been fantastic in real. I’m jealous of your great get away. I could use one about now! lol!
Wow..what a trip. Looks like you and Sandra had a wonderful time away. I love all the photos. So many fabulous items. I’m so jealous…I would love to see something like that! Now..the big question is…how much did you bring home??? So many wonderful ideas. I’m thinking I need to re-do my studio now, lol. Thanks so much for sharing your trip !
And when am I booking my flight???? I’ll have a couple of those birdhouses, that gorgeous wire star and about twenty other gorgeous things from your pics. Soooo jealous Kelly! Looks like a fab trip..bravo to Sandra for scouting all this out!
Wow, gorgeous pics Kelly!! Love that first one with the beautiful sky! That’s so amazing – and no Photoshop!! Thanks for sharing your trip with us, very cool.
Beautiful LO and ADoRABLE picture!!! Don’t worry, us mom’s got your back missy!!! I’m moaning and groaning every SINGLE day about my little one growing up too fast. She’s already 5.5 (going on 15 though, of course!).
Awesome photos. What a fun trip that must have been! LOVE the garden lollipop flowers made from the glassware and the creative remaking of the license plates. And the sky on the drive, wow!
You absolutely AMAZE me, Kelly! Each card is an awesome and beautiful little work of art in and of itself. My mom and dad always took us to see the Nutcracker, or we went to see it at “Symphony Hall” in Allentown, PA, so you really brought back some great memories for me! I love them all, but i think the one of Clara holding the nutcracker is my favorite!!! And you showed us how you made them, too! I agree with Lynn – you can’t make a “regular” card, can you????? LOL!!!
These aren’t cards! These are works of ART! Love them and all the beautiful details! WOW! Some lucky people in your life are going to get some amazing cheer this year!
love them all, but I think I love the winter wonderland card with the three ballerinas the bestest!! BTW, I have the same problem with blogger rotating my photos – I had read that it was a Canon thing, and the solution is to open your files and save them as a *.gif instead of a jpg. Gif files always seem to upload and display correctly.
I’ve had the same problem with rotating photos too – and I have a Canon – yup, confirmed it’s a Blogger/Canon problem, and my solution was indeed to save as a .gif
Oh man, oh man, oh man! I love them all. The Blue Ballerina and The Sugar Plum Fairy are my favorites. Wow. Love that you showed me so many of your tips and techniques. I still struggle a bit with paper and embossing powders and glue. Don’t know why…but it’s not easy for me…but you make it look like I can do it with all your great pictures and how-to’s! Thanks!
Kelly, these cards are really special. I shall follow your examples with these very nicely prepared tutorial. So much fun to be had with G45 and Tim products.
The green totally jumped out at me from this collection Kelly! Who the heck would think to put green with winter …but boy, does it work. Gorgeous take on this month’s sketch…that’s it … I gotta gp play with this new sketch.Soooo cool how you added the tiles to the title piece and love how it echos the angles of the banners behind the photo. Home run my friend!
I totally love this layout. The colours are so refreshing for winter and I love that snowflake rosette die from Tim Holtz and the way you placed the mosaic tiles on the title. Awesome job! Love the sketch too 🙂 .
I so love your projects and the stories behind them. I love all your details and the close ups. Your techniques astound me. I miss those days too of going to the park in winter, skating, tobogganing, all the fun kids things we did. Now..I can maybe catch them running to their cars in winter! Maybe if we hid money in the snowbanks we could encourage them to get out and play in the snow!!!
What a beautiful & fresh layout! The green background works so well with the blue paper and really accents your daughter’s rosy cheeks. I have to say that I would rather be inside, looking at pictures of snow, than being outside in it.
No snow for us but lot’s of rain! The concept of snow and playing outside still seems so fun and memorable! You page is so wintry fun! Those snowflakes are fantastic!!
Your work makes me smile as do your words. As I am reading about BoyGenius tobogganing I am reminded of my BoyWonder’s [also 17] Facebook comment: “midnight tobogganing…because we can!”
Oh Kelly! Such fun, fun photos!!!!! I absolutely LOVE reading your blog – it always brings a smile and giggle to me!!! And your page – well – it’s absolutely gorgeous with all of it’s wonderful and creative details. And your take on the sketch is fabulous. Kelly, thank you, as always, for sharing your amazing talent with us! If I don’t get a chance the rest of the month, Merry Christmas to you and your wonderful family!!!!!
Your cards are SO beautiful. I am a member of the Hampton Art Design Team (the manufacturer of the G45 stamps among MANY others) and there will be a DT call sometime in March. You should apply – I think you might have a good shot! They are amazing to work for – my favorite DT I’ve been on. If you do apply – good luck! Happy Crafting! http://www.hamptonart.com
I’m also on the DT for Hampton Art, and I love what you’ve done with these stamps! Hope you’ll try out – I’m with Britt. The team, the company, our DT leader are all superb.
This is gorgeous, love how you used the Tim Holtz die, need to get that, bought the cricut ribbons and rosettes cartridge which if lots of fun, take care x
You always have the best stories to go with your layouts. I love all the details and your take on the sketch Kelly..way too cute!! I bought my little great nephew a sweater for his birthday last month and had to do some sneaky convincing for him to put it on for a photo too!
Such an adorable layout! I think your sweater looks great. I wouldn’t give up on your knitting career. You could always teach me 🙂 Very touching story.
Touching story! I hope your journaling saves it for ages! Very interesting. Smart idea with the use of petals! I’d never think to make a tree or a heart out of a cut flower! Wow! Love this lo, it’s very you 🙂
awwww…such a sweet story Kelly. Don’t ya hate it when you imagine these big “Hallmark moments’ [to quote you] nly to have the reality of it fizzle. lol Glad you at least got your moment in the spotlight with the sweater… I’m sure your grandchild will appreciate it. LOVE the string of Christmas lights on this and brilliant idea to cut up the flowers to make the tree and hearts! Your creativity never fails to amaze me , my friend. I guess I won’t hold my breath for a hand knit gift from you this Christmas , will I?
Well I’m glad you got photos of BG wearing your sweater in the end! That is a great story too…your embellies here rock..the bulbs, the tree, the hearts…so creative! Well done festive page Kelly!
Wowzah – that is some amazing work you have done with those stamps. I just bought two sets, and was searching the net for some ideas of how to work with them … aside from copic colouring them…. you have done a breathtaking job! Thanks for sharing! I’ll be back!
Oh, that sweater! LOL. I’m thinking it would probably still fit him on his 3rd Christmas. 🙂 Just love this story. Precious! It’s such a wonderful memory and funny now to reflect upon. Great layout. You are the embellie master. Flower petals as trees and hearts? Genius! Love the Christmas lights across the top too. Beautifully done.
Your blog posts always make me smile! Gorgeous work. LOVE your snowflakes. Beautiful pics. You really worked the green and made it seem perfect on a snow page!
Exquisite attention to detail. You amaze me, Kelly. These are absolutely scrumptious. Love them all. Can’t possibly pick a favorite! Love seeing your process and final result. WOW.
Hi Kelly! I love your page so much. You have such a wonderful way with art and words. The story behind it made me laugh and brought a tear to my eye, too. Thanks so much for sharing a little bid of you with us, my sweet friend! I want to wish you a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your amazing family!
Spot on with this write-up, I honestly believe that this amazing site needs a lot more attention. I’ll probably be back again to read more, thanks for the information! Also visit my web site – electronic cigarette wholesale
Kelly I just love all your projects. You so amazing at coming up with unique projects. I am in love with your advent idea. I can just imagine a whole tree filled with those lovely cards. Just perfect! Have a wonderful Christmas and a blessed New Year!
A reversible Advent garland? Why, you’ve outdone yourself, Kelly! Everything turned out beautifully. I love and adore your doily angel. Your Christmas cards are so cute and how fun are those Christmas crackers Great post. Love the cartoon too. LOL. I hope you have a most wonderful holiday, my dear friend.
Oh my goodness, Kelly! I love all of your projects so much. Thanks for sharing them with us, and for telling us how you made them, too! You are awesome!!! I would like to wish you and yours a very Merry Christmas! And a happy New Year, since the world did not come to an end!!!!!!! Thanks for all you do!
I love your cards (both trees) and the crackers. I made those for Bob’s Mom’s 80th birthday…(saved toilet paper cardboard rolls). She was a “Maxine” and loved Crabby Maxine, so I was able to use some of the Hallmark goodies for that.
Awesome tutorial Kelly!! Your instructions are so clear and easy to follow and th photos bring it all together!! Hope you and your family are having a wonderful winter break! xo
Such beautiful creations…I was so looking forward to seeing them! Looks like we had the same idea in dressing up that snowman! Thanks for joining us…your layouts are very inspiring!
We are so excited to have you as our GDT this month! Your creations as always are wonderful. I so love the way you’ve used the corrugated cardboard for your window!
Such gorgeous pages, Kelly!! We’re so delighted to have you as our featured guest designer this month! I echo Sandi – that window is fabulous!! ~ Blessings, Tracey
great projects Kelly! I think I see “my ‘ Christmas card here lol! Great tutorial Kelly! You always make things so crystal clear and easy to follow! Christmas hugs!
Hi Kelly- I LOOOOVE that last page! Those gorgeous grays are flowing so beautifully together and I love the corrugated board window layer. Love what you did with the other two pages as well- the snowflakes and cool glitter punched border and fabulous details but that last page- WOW! Congrats on this GDT- will be trying to hop along this weekend if I get time between family visits and work. 🙂
Your projects are all so beautiful, and I really appreciate that you take the time to explain how to recreate them!!! Hope your Christmas was wonderful!
Kelly, This is my first time on your blog and I LOVE your designs. You add such interesting little details…your pages are just beautiful to look at. No wonder you are a teacher. I have added you to my emails so that I don’t miss a one of your blog posts.
Hi Kelly! I already congratulated you on Facebook, but wanted to HOP by your blog to congratulate you again!!!!!! You are amazing! I love your pages so much!!!! Like I said before, I wish I lived closer so that I could attend your classes, my talented friend!
Kelly beautiful LOs, congrats on your GDT!! for some reason I thought I was your follower since I see your work everywhere and since we are both in Canada but I was wrong. only now I am but never late than never. I wouldn’t be surprised I’ve met you in ScrapFest if you’ve ever been in Oshawa or Kitchner. If not I’ll make a point of meeting you next time!!
Hi Kelly and Happy New Year!! You made such beautiful pages with that kit…wintery and cozy all at the same time! Thank you so much for all your support and encouragement my friend!! I wish you and your family a happy and healthy 2013!!
OMGoodness Kelly!!!! You GO GIRL!!!!!!! This is amazing, so delicate and pretty! I happen to live FAR FAR away, (tee hee) so I’ll be emailing u!!!! Hugs
Very lovely layout Kelly! I have very strong feelings about Winter too. I just can’t seem to embrace the snow and cold. If this first page is any indication, your album is going to be outstanding! All the best to you in the New Year!
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful! I love the distressed edges best…I think. You look just like your mom! You both have such radiant smiles and tilt your head the same way. How cool it is to have her featured on such an awesome page!
Beautiful start to what should be a wonderful year filled with more gorgeous designs. This is definately the way to start a new year. Thanks for sharing.
Oh Kelly! I can’t even tell you how much I love this page. Your mom is just beautiful and reminds me of a photo of my mom with her skis! Yes, she skied and I didn’t know it either. She saved her ski pants – they are amazing. And back to your layout – it is absolutely gorgeous. I can’t wait to see more from you throughout 2013, my friend!!! Have a very happy NEW YEAR with that wonderful family of yours!
This is so pretty, Kelly. Love the color scheme. That pic is awesome. Your mom sure looks dressed up for a skating outing. Ah, things were different back then. How fun that the pic told you something new about her. This is going to be one amazing album. THAT, I know for sure! Happy new year!
What a wonderful LO, Kelly! I love all the blue. It’s funny, but when I first looked at the blue notched strips that are striped I thought they were corrugated- the stripes give that illusion. You and your mom look alike, I bet you’ve heard that before. The glitter adds pretty sparkle and the idea to use a photo TAKEN in January is clever. HAPPY 2013, friend 🙂 Shawn
I love the photos of Drama Queen and the adorable layout! I think it’s just perfect!! My daughter doesn’t want me to ever scrap her photos either..and I say the same thing “oops” lol. Love your take on the sketch!!
She’s such a beauty! I can’t imagine that she didn’t like those photos. What’s not to love? Such a sweet page. Great take on the sketch. Love the way you used the journaling cards for each block. So smart and a great look.
No, not too cutsie…very cool! She will come to appreciate it later, I’m sure 😉 You did so well with the sketch, it’s a perfect one for getting in all those great pics!
Here are my thoughts in order 🙂 1. AHHHHHH, the familiar HAND photos from Kelly’s kids ; LoVe it ! 2. What a gorgeous page..sigh.. she always makes the prettiest LO’s and love these details. 3. I don’t think it’s too cutesy at all. 4. DQ is BEAUTIFUL, why wouldn’t she want her photos used?? I see she looks alot like her Mommy! 5. WHY am I still sitting her on the computer and not in my freaking scrapbook room!>?!>! :)) Hugs
No it is NOT too cutsey for this wonderful Lo Kelly. Had a good chuckle at her hand photo { again! }lol . Love the frame you cut with your cricut! Looks great!
That circle technique is awesome Kelly! What a great idea to pop it up!You are such a smarty pants ! 🙂 and if someone loved me she’d send me some of those awesome vellum snowflakes! hint hint LOL
Oh Kelly! I absolute love you wintry page! The photo is simply awesome, and you scrapped it beautifully! I love those circles! I may have yo borrow this idea!!! Thanks!!
The old school tools are the best really. I have three different brand circle cutters right now and they are all too complicated to use when I’m in a hurry- I just have my husband cut circles out with his protractor and kraft knife skills- not even kidding. I swung by when I saw your blog on the WeR Memory Keepers post- good luck- I think you’d be a great feature! LOVE this page- the circles with layered details make for a fantastic page.
Truly, I could not love this more. This grid design is right up my alley. LOVE the negative punches, decorated so adorably, and your cool vellum snowflakes. Your winter scene is perfect. Sweet pic of BabyOfTheFamily. And, hey, she even smiled for you!
Ahhhhhh, 16!!!!! Wow – it happens before we know it, doesn’t it, Kelly?! I absolutely adore the layout you created in honor of her birthday. The balloons, your photos, everything make for such a wonderful page, my friend!
Well I would say you aced this challenge!! I love the white on white.. I’m like you..cardstock scares me, lol… I love it!! And if hubby doesn’t want it..ummm I know a friend who would, lol
Awww… awesome card Kelly! Thank you so much for playing along and for linking me up! No.. I seriously doubt Hubby will notice the very subtle shading…isn’t it amazing how many shades of WHITE there are???and yes…perhaps you should send that card to Nfld….I’d really appreciate it { the cod fish however would only get it wet…he has no appreciation for paper art at all… the neanderthal! } lol..oh yah…thanks for pointing out those SU dies that I don’t have …and now HAVE to have! 🙂
Great card, Kelly! I really like the texture and design of the all-white card…it is elegant. Your LO is so fun- looks like you had a fabulous time with Michelle. Enjoy the end of Jnaury and try to stay warm, Hugs Shawn
It’s a beautiful card Kelly! Completely unique for Valentine’s :)And yes, isn’t it interesting how many different shades of white there are?? Great job on the challenge and on cod kissing 😉
Oh my goodness, Kelly! I just love your stunning white V-Day card! It is so pretty1 And I really enjoyed reading the rest of your post too! You are one fun-loving scrappy gal!!!!!
I love this! Perfect layout for February. The heart is awesome. I must go and see if I can find some doilies from the dollar store here. Thanks for sharing!
Oh how precious are your mother’s scrapbooks. What a treasure. Of course, I know you will give them A+ treatment. You’re so imaginative. Beautiful work. Love your design and technique. Great tutorial.
Such a wonderful thing to do, Kelly – to make a scrapbook for your mom with her amazing old photos! I love what you did with the February page. Your heart technique and tutorial are so inspiring. thanks for sharing this with us, girlfriend!!!!!
Kelly, your layout is so sweet. Love the way you used the garland, anchored with the big butterfly. That photo makes me smile. The ’80s look + your hubby’s expression. LOL.
I watched your video. I am not a scrappy video watcher so I don’t have anything to compare it too. You did a great job. Congrats on your first one! It was fun to hear your voice! For a critique: after the music started, it felt like a long 6 or so minutes with no narration. I would have liked a speeded up section, then paused for narration on why or how you did something, then speeded up section, then paused for narration, etc. Also, I am not sure: did the video include everything you did? I think so? I would be tempted to edit out parts like opening the garland package.
Of course, you work is wonderful, as always. My next task is to figure out how one subscribes to a youtube channel….. I so want to take a class from you and this will be the next best thing. I hope you have a wonderful Valentine’s Day. xoxo
Kelly! This was fabulous!!!!! Loved watching your process, looks exactly similar to what I’ve been doing – just playing for fun, and trying to get myself back into the swing of scrapbooking vs cardmaking! This really is exceptional and I love that collection too, especially the paper garland! Looking forward to more videos – and the sped up version is perfect by the way, definitely don’t get bored 🙂
Kelly, good for you for trying something new! You are a great artist and it was fun watching the creative process unfold. Hope you had a great Valentine’s Day.
WONDERFUL layout – so delightfully charming and full of love. Love watching the video too – that’s exactly how I scrap – no sketch, no plan, just a stack of paper and some embellies. Isn’t is fun? Thanks for sharing Kelly.
Hi Kelly! I loved seeing your first video and hearing your voice!!!! So cool! And I really like your page. The photo of the 2 of you is just fabulous. Your scrappy style is so unique and wonderful! I love it!!!!! I like the “on cloud nine” part!!!
gorgeous papers and projects!!! Really love your frugal doily and those spellbinder frames. And I’m thinking you should invite your friend Christy to take my head shot too!! LOL
Congrats on the GDT position! You’ve made lovely pages here! Your daughter is such a beauty and I love how you framed your friends daughter with frames! How awesome you are making videos…I keep meaning to do that but it’s still a little daunting to me! Cheers!
Omgosh these Los are gorgeous Kelly! I loved the video and brilliant idea for using those spellbinder frames on your background ! You always come up with the coolest ideas!
Happy Happy Birthday to you my dear sweet friend!!! You are FABULOUS at Fity and don’t you forget it!!!Hilarious post Kelly…you always give me the giggles.I loved seeing all those old photos of you….I can even see you in your baby pic!!!!and I don’t care how bloody comfy they look…walk away from those pants!lol Have a great birthday ! xo
Oh how fun! O love the idea of the flashbacks. The LO is awesome and the picture on it is great. BTW I always tell people my age, 43 next month, because I feel like I have earned every one of those years. LOL
I love how you used the frames behind the photo of the little girl- creative! Your daughter is a beauty and what I especially like about the page is that you did the journaling BY HAND! That will mean SO Much to her years from now, and to future grandchildren. Happy Birthday. You are a scrapping inspiration, Kelly. xoxox
Kelly, thanks for this for this fun read this morning (morning in my corner of the world anyway). So fun to read those fun memories. I passed 50 LONG ago…so don’t worry, life goes on. blessings on the next 50!!!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY! This is a great idea, and a beautiful layout. I love that you are doing birthday layouts for yourself. I think its awesome that you have a mom who was such an awesome memory keeper and now you continue with the tradition. Can you imagine how cool these pages are going to be for your kids and future grandkids one day! Not to mention you do it with STYLE!!! 🙂
HA Ha ha – loved reading this. You’ve put a smile on my face this morning!! And a big Happy Birthday to you! What a lovely layout you have created to preserve some very special moments in your life. Good luck with your “dos” for fifty.
Happy Birthday Kelly!! Hope your special day went just the way you’d hoped! Love how you’re sharing your photo and then ending on your beautiful page! What a great memory!!
Happy Birthday Kelly…..I loved looking at your pics (those glasses were fab girl). Kudos to you for embracing this time in your life. I am also reaching a milestone next week (40 haha). Hope you had a great day….and that laundry thing is never gonna happen…..just sayin’ lol!
I love this blog post. Your layout is simply stunning. I haven’t reached the big “50” yet but it’s getting really really close for me! I certainly never would have thought you were 50 so I feel safe in saying that you don’t look 50, don’t feel 50, don’t act 50, therefore you’re not 50! haha
Two wonderful LO’s, Kelly! I especially like the wedding page- the branch with birds is charming. Love the nice dimension you added and great texture with the cheese cloth. Congrats on being GD 🙂
Love both of them…but the first one…omgoodness…how beautiful. The picture of your daughter is perfectly lovely and then all of that gorgeous texture…yummmm.
Hi Kelly Well you know I’m a big fan of your work!… and your sketches! Love em. Wish I could figure out the art of sketch drawing like your.. There always so nice!.. I seen your message about this hop on fb.. so I had to hop on over and check this out!… Boy LOTS to hop along to.. I’m sure I’m going to see some outstanding work! I have to subscribe to your youtube channel.. Its always fun to watch people you know when they make a vid. Thanks for sharing the hop information… I’m sure to love it. Hugs Sherry
Oh Kelly…God bless you for kissin’ that cod! hahaha Love your take on the sketch…the layout is beautiful! And, the shoe embellishment is fabulous! Great work! 🙂
Your placement and selection of embellishments is always superb – you always now just the right touch! My fav part is that you used gold in your layout – not a colour that you see a lot – it works perfectly with your photo! What a precious memory to showcase!
You cod kisser you!!!!! 😀 😀 I do love blog hops. It is so much fun to see what all you talented ladies do with the same sketch. I love how you’ve used the embellishments — especially the high heeled shoe and the tea set. Lovely!
Well yes i suppose the fact that you sucked it up and kissed the cod should really count for something eh? Love your take on the sketch Kelly!Cool how you used all embellies and stuck to one sheet of pp!
Kelly this is a gorgeous LO!!!I love the vintage feel to it! The use of the pearls and the gold doily is awesome!Loving that tea cup die set- certainly adds to the vintage flair of the LO. The lace, shoe, the film strip and the rose compliment the LO perfectly. This is vintage at its finest! LOVE IT!
You’re a Supah stah my friend a supah stah! Just joshin! You know I’m super proud of you and all your accomplishments Kelly! I was thrilled to se you on the cover so I can just immagine how thrilled YOU were!BIG HUGS!
Wow, that is awesome Kelly!! Congrats to you!! Love your double layout, I must try one, they intimidate the heck outta me 🙂 Congrats to Natasha for winning your blog candy!
Can’t wait to hear what the other exciting news is! Congrats on making the cover, and your studio is adorable! I love all the elements you’ve got in there that were inherited- your dads’ stapler, your moms sewing pin cushion, and the things your kids have made for you. I LOVE your dresser…I think I may do the girls’ dresser over in a teal kind of color. Or my own! Haha. Thanks for the inspiration!
I love seeing your articles and layouts in the Magazine. Your amazingly talented my friend. Love your layout for double the fun. I will try to play along. Now… I’m anxious to hear the news!!!!
Happy birthday my dear sweet, beautiful and crazy talented friend. Loved all the pics of you through the years. I’m a bit belated….but congrats on the contest win! That was some outfit. 🙂 Me? I can’t wait to turn 50 so I CAN wear those polyester pants with the elastic waist. Yeah, baby!
Congrats Natasha! And to YOU, Kelly, my sweet friend! No one deserves being a cover girl more!!! You are not only talented, but always so kind and encouraging to everyone around you! You are going places, girl, and this magazine is lucky to have you on their team! And me to call you my friend!!!!!
OH my gosh I am so happy for you Kelly!!! Can not think of a more deserving, sweet and talented lady for this to happen to. (Horrible grammar in that sentence but you kwim!!!!!!!)
Congrats, Kelly! You are a wonderful Scrapper! Haha- had to laugh about dd liking pink again. I remember when College Girl would have nothing to do with pink in 9th grade. Now she loves it 🙂 SHawn
Big CONGRATS Kelly!! Your page done with Christines sketch is GORGEOUS!!!….love the collection you used as well, but then I might be a little biased lol! Always a treat to browse your blog! xo
Oh my goodness! Great big congrats, Kelly, again!!!! WOOHOO! You are published in a book now. That is just so awesome! I can’t wait to check it out, too! Happy Sunday!
It was only a matter of time Kelly! Congrats on the publishing :D!! That’s a gorgeous 2 pager and since I’m so into feathers right now, I’m completely digging your embossed (??) ones! Cheers!
You are amazing at heritage layouts Kelly. I love all your designs and you can tell the photos are very special to you. I’m glad you have them to scrap. Beautiful projects.. each and every one!

Such fabulous pages, Kelly – love your mom’s dress and that vintage doily!! What a sweet, thoughtful and lovely gift from Michelle! ~ Blessings, Tracey
Happy belated birthday, Kelly! Your friend made you the most amazing gift – the kind from her heart. I love all three of your layouts. The first one is so beautiful, and the photo of your mom and her cousin is a real treasure. You made it even more of a treasure by scrapping it to perfection. What a fun title. Your second page – well – it’s just fabulous. I am loving that photo of your cousin – such a cutie pie! You used these products to perfection. And your third layout of your mom is totally fabulous. I love her dress, too. So pretty. I wish our mom’s had saved more of their old clothes. You used the graphic 45 collection beautifully. Thanks for sharing your creations with us, Kelly!
Oh they ARE precious. I love how soft and romantic and just … BeauTifuL they are. Congrats on your gig with Canadian Scrapbooker! And it’s so cool…my granddaughter’s names are Sophia and Claire!
You are the queen of vintage Los Kelly! I am sooo envious of you having all these lovely old photos to play with! I love that pink spiral flower on the ” Darling ” Lo.It is so feminine and fits this Lo to a T !The found doily adss such a lovely homespun vintage touch to your Farm girls Lo …and I got a giggle from that donut thing with the socks ! lol…and you’re welcome for the birthday present!!! I loved making it for you and am looking forward to sharing lots of tea in your kitchen again this fall!
Awesome, awesome, awesome Chicka…..I think that collection just made it to my very sparse ‘wish list’ lol (I’m still being super good using what I already have).
Oh Kelly! Such a fun and wonderful page! I love what you did with these papers!!! Your take on the sketch is just fabulous! And I want to wish you and your family a very Happy Easter, too!!!!!
LOL @ BOF! She must be that nimble to be able to tape those mosquitoes right there. If I were her, I could’ve instinctively smacked those mosquitoes! Anyway, you can use essential oils such as lemons, oranges, mints, etc around your home to keep insects away.
Oh so nice to see this refreshing flowery Lo …winter came back to Nfld ! 🙁 Thanks for sharing that wonderful tutorial on the watercolor flowers…I’ll definitely be giving that a try. Beautiful work as always Kelly! xo
Hi Kelly! Your mom is going to absolutely love this album, and the best part is that we get to enjoy it while it is being made!!!!!! YAY! This page is lovely. I am off to check out your video now! I can’t wait to subscribe to your you tube tutorials! Thanks so much!
What a wonderful surprise for your mom. Gorgeous page. Love all those pops of purple. I will have to check out your video. Your watercolor flowers are stunning.
How did I pass by these marvels. WOW. It is such a treat to come to your blog, Kelly. I learn something new every time. You are doing such beautiful heritage work. The tea box is especially divine.
Oh, I need to read more closely. The tea box is indeed divine and a big shout out to Michelle on her handiwork. All of your own handiwork is of course top notch!
Love this Kelly. Such an awesome take on the Sketchy challenge. I loved your video too! What a great way to create that diamond patterned background! Very creative!
I was just going to say the same thing as Tash. He looks like you Kelly! Congrats and happy birthday to your son.:) Great layout too. That collections is perfect for this!
He’s almost as good-looking as you, Kelly! But he can’t be 18 because that means you’d have to be….Oh,beautiful work as always. Love the rugged touches like the copper wire and corrugated cardboard. Perfect.
Kelly! Your talent WOW’s me every single time! LOVE,love,LOVE what you have done with the sketch! He is handsome indeed…I’ve said it more than once…YOU and your hubby make good looking kids! Luv Ya!
Bittersweet, eh? That’s a good idea to make the page right away…I need to do that too. Love the color scheme and details of your LO> Nice layered stitching, stamping, etc. I like your take on the sketch, Kelly 🙂
Happy 18th birthday to your “baby,” Kelly!!!! It happens way too fast, doesn’t it? Katie will turn 19 on April 19! (great people were born in April, right?!) I love your design! Your page is wonderful and a great memory for him. And thanks for sharing your video tutorial! You are rocking these tutorials my friend!!!!! Keep them coming!
Happy Birthday to your handsome boy! LOve the layout and I agree…those papers are gorgeous! I am using them right now! Will be back to watch that video!
Kelly, this layout is amazing! The photos of your son show what a wonderful spirit he has and your layout captured that perfectly. I love the addition of the blue and the copper wire which highlight the neutral papers so well.
Your LO is simply amazing! I love the colours and embellishments you used. I know now how I want to do some pics of our old homestead. Great tutorial and hints. Thank you so much for sharing! 🙂
The roof is fantastic! I’m delighted that you linked us up at 365 so that I had the chance to come over here and admire your beautiful layout. There are so many lovely details to enjoy!
Kelly, you have so cleverly used these patterned papers in a way that looks harmonious, but not busy? The photos are just perfect for this sketch and that roof is the “crowning” glory.
Love this vintage Lo Kelly [ and thanks for the shout out xo] . I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again…so jealous of all these lovely vintage photos you have! This is an awesome take on the sketch! very creative! and I loooove that adorable little picket fence!
That boy is getting so darn handsome…you might have to lock him up for his own protection Kelly! :)! Love this Lo…and all your beautiful little handmade touches …really love the little corrugated heart.
LOL @ shingling a roof!!!!!!! Great job on this Kelly, the scallops are so beautiful!!! I just went and saw the amazing tea box Michelle made for you – what a piece of art that is 🙂
LOVE the new look to your blog, Kelly! This is such a nice post. How sweet that you have these momentos for your birth. And, you had the dress so your daughter could wear it?! SO special 🙂 xo
Oh this layout is sooo sweet, I love these papers, and they have created a divine layout, and I love your photo, how precious… and how wonderful for your daughter to wear your dress I think that is absolutely precious!! Love your card too..
Both the layout and the card are amazing. It is so wonderful that you have all these memories from your childhood. How neat is it that your mom was a scrapbooker all those years ago!
Kelly, this is gorgeous! You have take just a few simple elements and turned them into a masterpiece. These papers are lovely – I must pick some up for myself. Thanks for posting the video showing your step by step tricks. You are a great teacher and I enjoy seeing how you create your art.
Kelly!!!! I love the new look of your blog! It has been a while since I have had time to blog hop, and am glad that I did today! I absolutely love your altered tray. The photos and all of your “kelly” details look amazing!
AWWWWWW! I love your layout and your card! Both are so very beautiful! And the photo of you and your daughter – – are just wonderful. You look alike, your know! (I guess this is where “big hair” began!!) Oh, and I also your baby book that your mom lovingly made! It’s so amazing and wonderful to have!!!! I really enjoyed watching your video, too. You go girl!!!!!!!
Wow Kelly, how cool that it’s just one sheet of paper!! NEVER thought of that!!!! This is the first time I’ve seen this collection.. so beautiful 🙂 BTW, I did not realize your girls looked so much alike!!!!!!!
Kelly I saw this on FB and thought “Wow”! Brilliant turnout! I’m always terrified of starting a project like this because I worry about being able to carry a look or theme through the whole project…you did it beautifully! And you a ONE paper for the whole background??! That’s what I’m talkin’ about!
This whole post was pure fun and joy to read! It’s amazing to see how your mom scrapped and now you are carrying on the tradition! How meaningful all the photos and stories are later on! You inspire me to keep going 🙂
What gorgeous pages, Kelly!! I’m so excited to have you on our team!! I loved watching your creative process on the video and can’t wait for your feather tutorial!! ~ Blessings, Tracey
Welcome to the team Kelly! We are so exited to have you! I love both of your projects although teh second one is my fav! Thanks for the video tutorial!
Your tut on the bird lo was fantastic. I agree that the photos are stunning. Im glad you chose to use the feathers instead of the banner. They work great with the bird nest theme. Wish me luck.
Terrific layouts Kelly! I especially love the second one the birds and the way you scrapped them is stunning. Wish my neighbor was like that! Wish my neighbor raked their leaves lol! Oh well thanks for sharing and be well 🙂
Oh my goodness Kelly!! Your projects with this kit are just GORGEOUS!! ANd I LOVED your video….you have such a nice way of speaking, I just feel relaxed listening to you and watching you create! xo
You create these wonderful scenes in your pages right in line with the stories that the photos tell! They are beautiful Kelly! Have a Happy Mother’s Day!
All your creations are works of art….but the ones you are doing from your mom’s pictures are so touching! I get a lump in my throat looking at them! I am honored to be able to view your work and videos!
Gorgeous work Kelly! The G45 papers are perfect for your vintage photos. The touch of mixed media with the raised glittered elements keeps the project current. How perfect that you were able to incorporate one of your Mom’s beautiful earrings too.
This looks so complete now you added the pictures – I just love it! It didn’t photograph as spectacular as it is in real life. You look great with feathers in your hair LOL
LOL. Guess that’s what happens when you pack light for a weekend crop. Surround yourself by others who bring their whole scrapbook room. 🙂 The layout turned out beautifully – that patterned paper is so very beautiful and the guinea fowl feathers are just perfect!
Beautiful layout and daughter! Love the black, red and white elements. Love her hair. Love the pin and feather (good job scarfing the pin!) Happy Mother’s Day Kelly!
I absolutely love this layout Kelly! All the details and the gorgeous photos just equal perfection!!! Looks like you had a fabulous time at the retreat!
Hi Kelly! It looks like you had a marvelous time at the ranch! The photos you took are spectacular! And the layout that you created there is absolutely wonderful in every single way! I love the photos, how you converted them to b&w and the sparkle on your page. I really feel the love here! And I also want to wish you a happy belated Mother’s Day!!!! I hope it was a great one for you! HUGS!!!!!
Kelly, this is another gorgeous layout! Love the words of wisdom and how the glitter adds another dimension of texture to the page. Sometimes it takes a village (and a ranch) to create a layout.
I would look at that sketch and not have a clue what to do! Wow, you really pulled this off. Love all the quotes in the middle with the pretty photos on the side. As always, you have some fun techniques. Your stories made me smile! Baby of the Family is sure growing up!
I love seeing your heritage pages. That earring as a flower center was inspired and wow, how gorgeous. I always get such good ideas from your work. The molding paste flowers are just exquisite! I love the fun scene on the Easter page. Beautiful work, all.
You have the BEST photos. I adore the pic of your mom and friends on the bicycles built for two. They do know how to have fun! And the bird photos are just exquisite. Even though you didn’t take them, I admire your good taste in using them! Love all the details, textures and layers on your bird page. Those feathers rock!
I DO love retreats! Yours is in such a magnificent setting. Love that layout…and that it’s a ‘group’ project. I’ve done the SaMe thing…digging in the trash around the room…and have unearthed countless treasures!
What a fun post Kelly!! That retreat location looks so idyllic. The smiling goat is so funny!!! His teeth – didn’t know they looked so human-like! I thought the same thing about the turkeys – did she walk up and pull a feather out?? Of course she didn’t LOL 😉 Dumpster diving for embellies is hilarious too ;0)
The card tutorial is wonderful. It is amazing how you were able to alter the cardstock and make it look fabulous! Best wishes for a successful class. The project looks beautiful.
Hey Kelly!! Michelle and I will miss you at this year’s retreat. Maybe I’ll come up to see you soon. Loving the new look of your blog. Enjoyed the hop!
Kelly, how sad that is! I really feel for the family. I feel much like you do, except I have gone through the separation of the oldest 2. It is hard, and yes things change, but you know, it wasn’t as bad as I thought it was going to be. I love the photo of you and the kids! What a good looking bunch you are!
Definitely a tragedy and such an unfair part of life.. My daughter is only 6 and I’m already wishing she would slow down and stay my baby. Everyday I notice some new independent streak and it breaks my heart 🙁 Hugs to you
Hi Kelly – I completely understand that feeling of loss and treasuring all that is precious. My older daughter just graduated from college — how the time flies. Here is some news that I hope will bring you a little cheer — you won my dots and dashes stencil! Please send your snail mail address to me at jessicabethsporn (at) gmail (dot) com, and I’ll get it right out to you!
Hi Kelly- my sister coloured her hair with chalk too. It looked great! Now I kinda want to try it! Your take on the June CS sketch is lovely! The photos are incredible!!
Your daughter reminds me of mine. Sh has baby blond hair and put purple streaks in it (oh my heart) and now wants to go compltetely purple! Hey maybe U’ll do the same and shock her butt! Your layout is gorgeous! Going to make a serious effort to do more Canadian Scrapbook sketches! All the best. http://mybeaner.blogspot.ca/ Pop over if you can I have a contest on!
Kelly, once again my friend you have touched us all with your amazing story telling and heartfelt sharing. May the memories of all the happy times provide you with the warm embrace that your dad is no longer able to give.
Bless you, for being able to walk alongside your Dad, to comfort him and love him through this very difficult disease. And now I need to search for a tissue.
It’s hard not to be teary eyed reading this! You know he and your mom have to be really remarkable people to have a daughter who honors them like you do. Great card, and you know how much I adore that layout!
Oh you put tears in my eyes!! What a beautiful tribute to your Dad, Kelly <3 LOVE your layout and how you "fragmented" the photo - so symbolic and cool at the same time! You do beautiful work 🙂
Kelly, you’re so lucky to have such wonderful memories, I’m so sorry your daddy is sick. hang on to the treasures of the past. Love your layout and card, such great tributes to your dad.
This post needed a warning: please keep box of tissues handy….Beautiful, moving post. I love all the photos. Great tribute to your Dad. I’m so sorry about his illness. Hugs!
such a beautiful tribute to your dear Dad Kelly… I was doing ok with holding back the tears till I saw that last photo of you and your dad. BIG HUGS! xo
What a beautiful layout and such a tribute to your father. I am so sorry to hear that he is not well, life can be so cruel at times. I lost my Dad when he was only 55 but I still have so many fond memories to hold close to my heart. I just stopped in to tell you I had a blast at the class last night and it was a honor to meet you. Take care and have a great weekend.
Your story and layout brings tears to my eyes! Sorry he has been living with Alzheimer’s,….seems to be in almost every family now! So glad you can still stay positive and remember the life that you had with him prior to this stage in his life! 🙂
Oh,Kelly-this is so amazing. I have worked in geriatrics for over 15 years and Alzheimer’s is such a terrible thief. Your layout is truly beautiful and so perfectly captures the emotional whallop you are facing. Just beautiful! Now pass the tissues!
Another beautiful layout Kelly. You have struck a fine balance between the softer, feminine touches and the edgier pieces such as the metal elements. Love it!
Hi Kelly! It has been way too long since I last visited your wonderful blog! I love this tutorial! Thank you for sharing it with us. I love the look of your altered butterflies and clip! I hope all is well with you!
Kelly your butterflies are gorgeous, they just sparkle with beauty Thanks so much for your lovely comment on my blog….really appreicated so much, have a great creative week 🙂
Kelly, I love this fab LO…Sophisticated color, awesome texture! The embossing over the layered paper is a nice detail. I also like the paint/ink on the photo edge. You always work magic when you scrapbook 🙂 S
Such a great idea to cut the hearts in half and the glitter makes the raindrops so magical! I love how the photo corners and the twine frame the main card element, too! TFS!
What a perfect card for today…it’s rained all morning. Cutting the hearts to make raindrops – very cute. Thanks. I love all things glittery, so that just added to the fun.
WOW!!!!!! ANOTHER FABULOUS IDEA on HOW to use the Foam Hearts!!!!!!!! (I NEVER think of these GREAT IDEAS on my own!!!!! THANK GOODNESS for bloggers LIKE YOU!) FABULOUS CARD!!!!!! LOVE this SWEET CARD!!!!!!!! 🙂
Now I never would have thought to cut a heart in half to make a raindrop–simply brilliant!! Spring and summer have been slow to arrive here, too, so I can really relate to your beautiful card.
I am definitely going through my stash and see if I can find a card that I can do this with. I love it so much and am amazed it’s so easy. Love your video!!!!!
This card is so awesome. I thought it would be really hard, but didn’t realize all of the altering you can do on these simple stories paper. The heart technique is totally to die for!
I learned some neat tricks on your blog, I need to make a list so I can remember them. By now I am convinced your product is pretty good stuff.lol Hope I can find a refill as I have a empty E-Z runner but not sure where they are sold.
Oh my goodness Kelly. You might have put a disclaimer at the top of your post warning of possible tears. I’m at work and just read your journaling…..I’m bawling here……seriously! This is wonderful! Just wonderful!!
Absolutely wonderful card. We are near Seattle and it’s raining here a lot too. This card is perfect. Love the way you made the raindrops. Thanks for sharing such a great card. Lyn

great …now that Boy George song is playing a loop in my head! LOL…I think its better to be a chameleon than stuck in one style. That’s why you are so versatile Kelly!
I love every one of your “Kelly” styles! You are just YOU and your wonderful. It’s always a surprise to see what you will come up with next! I think we all have that scrappy identity crisis now and again!
I’m the same way sometimes! Depends on the day, the mood and the photo. Thanks for addressing this issue most of us may face. Cute virtual photo layout and I love the heritage as well.
I am so happy that the sun is shining in your neck of the woods, Kelly! It has been here, too! I absolutely love these – they are just beautiful and so creative! Thank you so much for your visit to my blog – I always love to see your smiling face, my friend! Hope all is well with you!!!!

OMG! love love love this Kelly! love the belt down the side and am rushing right over now to see your video. Such a cool LO and awesome take on the sketch!
Hi Kelly! I just came to by to visit your blog since we started following each other on Instagram via The August Break. Your blog is wonderful – You are so talented! Your scrapbook layouts are amazing…Scrapbooking isn’t really one of my strengths so I am in awe of your designs. Just wanted to pop by and say “hi” and that I really enjoyed looking through your blog. 🙂
WOW! Those legs are absolutely fabulous!!!!! WOOHOO! I can’t wait to check out your video to see how y ou made this fun and fabulous layout! you are so darn creative, my friend!
Looks like you girls had a blast. I love Vegas and all the side trips. I hate to say how many times I have visited there. I always say it is my last visit but then I break down and go again. I lost count at around 45 times. Always something new to see or a great show to take in. It is also really amazing to look back at the pictures I took of my first visit in Vegas, hardly any of the casinos still stand. LOL! Anyway great blog post Kelly I enjoyed reading it.
Hi Kelly!!!! WOO Hoo – what wonderful photos! I enjoyed each and every one of them. I am so happy that you had such a wonderful time. I would have LOVED all of that eye candy! (And we saw Jersey Boys on Broadway and loved it, too!) thanks for sharing your photos, stories, and sense of humor with all of us!
Well, hello, Kelly – I entered some contests over on Canadian Scrapbooker Magazine, saw your pretty face there, followed their link to “like” the magazine on Facebook, & saw your face again, so I clicked on your page to say hi. What a fabulous bunch of Vegas pics you have on display. We love it there and have made 9 trips to date, although we still have not seen a few of the places you mentioned here. Food for thought for our next visit in March. Thanks for sharing your photos & stories. Fran (Quick Silver at sb.com)
Wow! What an awesome trip you had! sooo jealous! I love that you ladies were able to do lots of sight seeing in between the convention and your turns at the #L booth! Wish I could have been with you!
Lots of Good information in your post, I Favorited your blog post so I can visit again in the future, Thanks. I would like ti big thanks for published such useful information about Mosquito Killer for us. LASTLY BIG THANKS .
Hi Kelly! I feel sad that summer is over, too. I sent my Katie back to college to begin her sophomore year, and Anne started 5th grade at the end of August. Where on earth did the time go? I am in awe at how fast it flies by! Speaking of awe – all of your classes sound amazing! I SOOOOOOOO wish I lived closer! I know they will all be amazing, Kelly! Have lots of fun teaching them!
I started out with two page layouts and then got caught up in the trend of one pagers. Your sketches and layouts have convinced me to give a go a two pages again. I love the layout and does utilize more photos. Big fan I am a follower and would love it if you would come visit my blog at http://mybeaner.blogspot.ca/ and let me know what you think! It would be an honor. 🙂

Love the sketch Kelly! I didn’t submit for the spring call because I used winter photos – but wanted to share with you my take on your design! Thanks for the inspiration! http://www.carlacreates.ca/2013/11/bundle-up.html
Mine ! Mine ! mine!!!!! Loooove it Kelly! { I too have deided to only send hand made cards to people who appreciate the time and effort that go into them…everyone else is getting store bought ! haha}
Beautiful Lo and I almost had a heart attack when I saw you in the ornamemt and thought ” Whaaa??????????? Kelly has a tree up? ” then I read on …duh! But it IS a really great photo idea!!!!
Kelly that is a beautiful collection! Love the neutral colors with the red….you show it off so sweetly with the layout! And wow, that is a gorgeous photo of the red barn and snow…you have an eye! Merry Christmas to you and your family Kelly…gotta get it out there early, it’s fast approaching!
Oh Kelly, I have a photo that I bought of a red barn similar to your photo with the reflection of the Bluehose in the window. Amazing and I can see how you would get inspiration. Fabulous!
Hi Kelly! Just stopping by to see how you are doing and to wish you and your wonderful family a happy holiday season! Looks like you are enjoying it! I LOVE winter but hate when it is too cold. We are having frigid temps right now. I hope it warms up just a bit! Anyway, I absolutely love your beautifully designed page and great photo of your dd and her friend!

I remember your card from a few days ago on the Crafty Power Blog. Loved it there and love it here!!! Simply spectacular.
How lovely of you to offer such wonderful blog candy. You did not twist our arms by requiring us to become followers in order to be eligible (which is SWEET BEYOND WORDS!), but I am a brand-new follower by Google Friend, nonetheless. Yippee!! <3 J
Love, love, love this!!! Oh what fun I am having jumping from blog to blog. Thank you for the opportunity to participate. One of my resolutions this year is to make more time for crafting. I am the caregiver for my Mother and work full time and card making and scrapbooking is my way to relax and rewind.
Kelly, your work is amazing. I love it and am looking forward to more. I had to laugh at the “being raised Catholic” and the “guilt”. Have a great New Year filled with fun, love and all good stuff. Patricia
Hi Kelly! 2014 awaits you!!!! I can’t wait to see what you create this year! And good luck with your novel, too! Thanks for your friendship in 2013!!!! HUGS!
May all your dreams and resolutions come true – they are lessons that apply to us all. And you have presented them in a very artistic way – good on ya!
Love this post Kelly! I think more than half your goals resonated with me and I truly hope you achieve them all! Yes, get that novel written, it’s clear to see you’re a talented writer…I had a good chuckle reading this post too! And for sure, totally diggin’ the art journal page!
Oooo beautiful! Love the warm tones with the cool pics 🙂 Hee hee, I eek many projects out in just the nick of time. Need to change that too. Thanks for the encouraging words Kelly…..I am my own worst critic and my own worst roadblock *sigh*
Wow – that is one emotion-filled post! Such a gorgeous layout, love the confetti and the glitter. Thanks for sharing your original layout. I remember those days 🙂
Kelly you nailed this post, it’s sweet, touching, and somehow funny all at the same time! Your page is super cute, beautiful job with the pinks and reds- I find that a tough combo to pull off- but YOU did!
Awwww! I just loved reading your post and seeing your wonderful and touching photos! I love the bond I have with my sisters!!!! And I wanted you to know that I mentioned you on my blog today!!! Have a great February, Kelly!
Happy LOVE month, Kelly! ♥ I really love this adorable card! Thanks for sharing it with all of us! I with you and your family a very happy Valentine’s Day! ♥
Hi, Love the combination of shapes, layers and glittery papers. Thanks for the shout-out too! I simply made a suggestion and you ran with it, creating something amazing!
Love that frame and those heart sticks look good enough to eat!!!! I love that idea on the card to emboss the tape runner strip! I need to try that! happy Valentine’s day dear friend! xo
I ladore this card – it is so pretty and filled with love. Your video taught me so much about making shaker cards – thanks for the great tutorial. Lucky you to have such a thoughtful family – that charm is gorgeous.
Great big congrats, my friend! I love, LOVE the new look of your blog and I am so happy for you, too! What an honor to be the one who designed the cover! You go gilr!!!! Sending hugs!
I tried to figure out how to comment on the Scrapbook Adhesives page, but no luck. But I had to tell you just how gorgeous your card is!! Love the design & the color scheme!
Wonderful photo and layout! Heritage Photos are my absolute favourite to scrapbook. Wow, can’t believe your grandmother had 10 children!! Must have been a super strong lady to give birth so many times!! Incredible, especially in those days!!
Thank you for this post! I often read but don’t comment, however this time I just had to tell you how beautiful I think the eggs are, and how wonderful it is that you still have some eggs and tools from your Baba. Thank you for sharing! And what a happy card, too! Happy Easter!
You are so creative! It is nice to see how you are encouraging your heritage to survive by sharing the special keepsakes you have treasured. Have a very Happy Easter!
Oh Kelly, your post has really made me smile. I didn’t realise you had Ukrainian roots! We have the same tradition in Poland and the same techniques although I’ve never been able to achieve such gorgeous results :). Your post has certainly brought some beautiful memories back – thak you! I hope you have a lovely Easter! x

Such a beautiful post, Kelly! I absolutely love your wonderful eggs,and reading a little bit more about you. Thanks also for sharing the amazing card! It’s fabulous and so creative. I hope you had a happy Easter, my friend. I was thinking about you! Keeping all of you in my prayers, too.
so very cute Kelly…just bought this paper pack at the retreat last weekend [ after swearing I wouldn’t buy any more paper lol} I really miss making teachers gifts …I always enjoyed coming up with something unique each year.
Ps Rusty pickle
This card is so clever, especially the extra detail of the ledge for the chalk. The paper is in the background is the perfect backdrop and you purchased it when we were at CKC in Phoenix many years ago.
Well I’ve been gone too long! I had no idea you got your own website, etc….it looks awesome! And the metal embellies are very cool! I need me some more embossing powders….all the photos are lovely, good catching up with you here!
Wow, Kelly! This is one of my favourite posts ever. The blue cardstock reminds me of the big Alberta summer sky and the chicken wire stencil lends the perfect homespun accent. The photos perfectly captured all the fun of a family reunion, although most families can’t boast of a horseshoe-tossing nun. Well-done!
I was trying to find the Father’s Day card with the glitter. I thought it was fabulous and never thought of using foam tape for glitter. I love this idea.
What a wonderful layout! This is the reason I scrapbook. I try to put things from my past down on paper so my family will not forget. You have done this so well, it’s pretty and full of sentiment.
What a sweet, vibrant, charmingly fun card. Those stamps are darling! I remember drawing nearly identical borders of upside down and right side up chains of hearts in some of my schoolbooks as a schoolgirl.
Thank you very much for your lovely comment today, dear Kelly. It warms my heart to hear about young folks have a vintage loving soul. My own passion for the past took root in early childhood and I began wearing vintage fashions at age 15. It’s never too young to start! 🙂
Hey Kelly Happy Canada Day and I was just following up to see how yummy that cupcake was were you able to hold off until today to eat it well what ever you do today enjoy!
This turned out great. You are always so good with all the little details that really make a page. Cute shot of your daughters happy together. Did they buy matching clothes on their excursion. They really look alike from the back. Beauties like their mom!
Thank you for sharing your story, Kelly! My daughter is a Speech Language Pathologist working in a school for the deaf. She has taught me a lot, so I understand much of what you have shared.
Your layout is fabulous,and I like all the fun photos. Your daughter is beautiful!
I will pray for you all as you continue on this journey! 🙂
Dear Kelly,i wish all the best for your beautiful daughter!!! And also for your whole Family! She is Young and i am sure that every Thing will be ok .Serena enjoy your new life 🙂
you wrote : maybe some of you will also find hope in difficult times…and it is amazing that i have just received your email , after i decided to have also a big surgery.
Sorry about my english, Maria from Vienna
Serena seems able to adapt to things in a very significant way. Getting her implant will be another chance for her to shine and show you her strength and resilience. Best wishes for her surgery!!!!
Kelly I had no idea!! My sister who passed was also deaf, and loss the majority of her hearing growing up. She never let that stop her for succeeding in life, and was truly my inspiration! She was also a canidate for cohlear implants before she died :(… I hope all the best for your daughter… and I admire your strength in telling her story! I will keep your family in my thoughts today!
Big hugs, tons of prayers and blessings for Serena and you all. I know Serena is a strong and brave young woman and she’ll sail through this with flying colors! Love you …be strong Mom…she’ s going to do fine!!!! xoxoxoxo
Kelly, that’s awesome! I had the privilege of meeting a lady with hearing impairment that also reads lips. I would never have guessed! I’m so thankful that the help yoyr family and daughter required is readily available and speedy! I hope her recovery is quick and her transition to re-learning hearing goes smoothly ♡
Wow, what a tough, but beautiful story to share!!! Serena definitely gets her strength and beauty from her MOM!!! 🙂 It is just wonderful that technology has advanced this far and that Serena will be given another chance to hear the world again. Will keep you both in prayers!! Jennifer, Calgary P.S. love the sign language symbol on your layout! Brilliant idea.
Best of luck to Serena. I too am battling extreame hearing loss and Cochlear implants may a part of my future if my hearing continues to worsen. I am sure she will do fine!
I can’t believe what your beautiful girl and your whole family must have been going through. I will be thinking of you guys tomorrow and in the following months, and I’m sure Serena will be enjoying all the beautiful sounds of the world again before too long! x
I will be sending thoughts of strength and positive vibes out to Serena tomorrow and for your whole family’s journey forward. Serena will do just fine, I imagine. She is lucky to have such a strong and supportive advocate in her Mom! Hugs to you all!!
Kelly, all the best for Serena’s upcoming surgery! Thank you for sharing, my eldest will also have to have surgery in the next few years and having lived with that knowledge has definitely been stressful. I’m glad you’ve found a support system and I’ll be thinking about you and your family. Hugs, Miae
Wow Kelly! Sounds like you all have been going through a lot. So glad you have the support system and that she is staying so positive through it all! Thinking of you all and praying for her and a safe recovery. 🙂
I will be thinking of your beautiful daughter and lifting all of you up in prayer. It is so amazing that we have this technology now and I hope that this provides her the ability to hear what she’s been missing. Praying for an uneventful surgery and a quick, recovery. ♥ Hugs!!
Kelly, I’ve seen my father, an aunt and an uncle gain their hearing and their lives back after cochlear implant surgery; progressive hearing loss runs rampant through our family and several more of us will be looking into the surgery when our hearing reaches that point of loss. My dad could make out words immediately after the implant was turned on, but that’s not always the case.My aunt and uncle both took a little longer but my uncle in particular now has excellent hearing. Your daughter will be so glad she had it done; I pray all goes well for her and that she gets the best possible results. Hugs!
Prayers for a successful surgery today! Each CI journey is different yet we are all still connected in some way. … it was wonderful that you scrapbooked this part of her journey, I hope to go back and do that for my sons scrapbook one day; its been a bit painful even though he has come a long way. He just had the 2nd one done in 2013 and it was amazing. Thanks for sharing your story, it truly helps others 🙂
Kelly, I am so happy for your family and especially Serena! My hope and prayers will be with you all as this miracle of hearing returns to Serena’s life. May this be a perfect solution for her. God bless the Klapstein family!
Kelly what a wonderful blog post! I am so happy to know more about you and
your family. Serena seems like such a wonderful spirit, and must take after her incredible mom. I am so happy for all of you and that she will be given this amazing implant. Thinking of you all during the surgery!
Kelly, that is awesome! You will be so happy that you persued this for Serena. My daughter has bilateral implants. She is six years old. She got her first implant at three and second at four. She started repeating ling sounds the day of activation. Serena will do well since she has had stimulation to her right ear with hearing aids. Take it one day at a time. Wishing you and Serena the best always! Here is to a new life for your princess!
Stacey
Serena is amazing! What a thing to go through in high school! I am so impressed with her and all her battles and triumphs. I am so happy she is able to have this surgery and pray it will be a complete success. I hope all went well. Do update us! You are such a strong family. Wishing wonderful things for beautiful, smart Serena.
Thank you for sharing this amazing story with all of us “cyber friends” out here who have seen your beautiful girl grow up. She is so blessed to have a wonderful loving mother and family who will be with her every step of the way. I’m thrilled for her to get the wonderful device and I hope she adapts quickly…you will be in my thoughts.
Big cybers hugs,
Lisabarrie
Your card is awesome! I love the way you used the two-toned glitter and the spellbinder dies! I will try to do something similar with some of my dies, very clever idea!! Thanks so much for sharing!! Now on with the blog hop day 3!
Your color choices for this project are spot on…lovely to see. I especially appreciate the use of the border punch at top and bottom. Delightful! Best feature, of course, is that photo…wonderful memories. Well done!
I love that you chose to make a card…this one is lovely. I like that it will fold flatter for mailing. Such a beautiful display on a shelf or table. Well done!
Love step cards but they’re often hard to find enough embellishments for all of the steps. Hadn’t though about using the wood pieces. Beautiful card. thanks for the idea.
AWESOMEEEEE! Who wouldn’t love to receive a card like that? Thank you for the tutorial. If I ever get off the blogs, I might have to try some of your ideas. Thanks for sharing.
This I
S lovely.. I’m trying on my brother but I don’t have the particular frame you use… So, I used a scalloped square added a heart and the number 50.. However, when I get to weld , everything but the original scallop disappears! Can you tell me what I need to do before I throw this machine across the room? Thank you vanessa(uk)
Thanks Kelly for creating this great sketch – perfect for all those vacation photos. It must have been fun looking back and reliving all the wonderful memories of the days when your children were shorter than you.
dear kelly, this is wonderfull! i allways look at your blog and like to see what you have createt. How is your daughter Serena now?
love from Maria from Vienna
Hi there fellow Canadian! I found you through your post on Julie’s blog. I wanted to know about those Inca Gold medium and guess what? you did an example of it and I was so pleased to now know about what it’s like. A friend has a business out of her home and she has lots of wonderful colours of the medium and I have been tempted, but didn’t know exactly what it was like. Thanks Kelly for introducing me to it, and you to me 🙂
Have a great week.
Victoria, BC

So glad to have stopped here, often scrapbooking seems so cluttered to me, but I love how you make the photo the center of attention. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to see scrapbooking in a new light!
Thank you for sharing you beautiful crafty projects with us. Your scrapbook pages are so beautiful! Happy New Year! can’t wait to see what you have in store for 2015!!
Thanks for sharing photos of all the fun from CHA. Those cream puffs look amazing and almost as big as the space shuttle 🙂 You have the good fortune to work with such creative and nice people, a good fit as you are the same.
Congratulations to the winner! And thanks for all you’ve shared from CHA! I had a blast checking out your pictures (and I’m always amazed when people take the time to photograph their yummy food – I just always want to dig right in!!!) Sounds like you’ve enjoyed some really nice weather this past month – well deserved if you live in wilds of Canada!
Servus Kelly,what a nice photo of you! I love your tudorials for the ScannCut. You know my language is German, but i can understand your English very well, Thank you very much for sharing your wonderful ideas with us, love Maria
I’m always impressed when people can put so many different colors together and have them look so terrific. I don’t have that kind of imagination. Very nice card!!
Great layout!! I like how you used all the elements. The tickets are really cute… and so is Finn!! What a playful pup! Very pretty picture of the sunrise too!
dear kelly, thank you so much for an further wonderful tudorial. Although my speech is german, i can understand your plain instructions. You inspires me to play more with my scanncut 🙂
Vielen Dank und Gruß aus Wien, Maria
omgosh love this LO and really love all the happy memories it brings back. Miss you gals so much…why do we have to live so dang far apart????? and of course I’ll be giving that sketch a go!
I really like the pattern of this layout. Your design is so creative and very well done! Love your use of the wood embellishments. The pictures bring back wonderful memories for me too. I was just there last July with my daughter and grandsons.
This is such a pretty layout and shows how versatile cardstock can be. Thanks for sharing the story behind the photos – how terrifying! So glad it had a happy ending and has turned out for the best. It will certainly be a lasting memory for you both.
Fabulous page..Thank you 4 sharing your techniques I too love Bazille papers ..would love 2 get some new Mylar paper but can’t seem 2 find a store who has it…they all say too expensive to bring into Australia! !!
Super cute layout, Kelly!
My oldest (16) hates having his picture taken, so I mostly scrapbook my two younger children. I’m just hoping he doesn’t complain about it later on… 😉
one small step for Kelly..one giant step for mankind! LOL. just kidding dear friend….glad to see you tackling it…I’m sure you felt a great sense of accomplishment when you did this!!!!
I didn’t even realize you were using markers! Loving the effect! I have a bunch of thise Tombow markers in my stash too (kind of an earthy color set, but I think I need to try this ;)….what I really want to learn though is how to create a pretty hand lettered look!
awwwww…cant tell you how much I loved having you visit me again! Too bad the weather was so crappy and we only got in two sight seeing days 🙁 ….all the more reason for you to come back again and go puffin hunting with me! xo
Thank you so much Kelly for sharing your wonderful tallent with us….much appreciated…this would be handy for lots of ideas, wedding, engagement, lots of things, I love your layout and your idea for the use of this….very clever…..thank you again
Kelly- everything is so beautiful! I will have to watch your video this weekend. I also have Tombow markers that were intended for watercoloring…have been waiting for use now for a couple of months! Your projects are inspiring me to break them out! Thanks, Kelly!
Kelly, I just want to tell you how much I love your You Tube videos. Your presentation, voice, directions, and camera set up are perfect! I have learned so much about my Scan N Cut from your videos. I can’t thank you enough.. Keep doing it!!!
I finally had some time to visit your website and see all of your amazing creations at once!!!! So inspirational. And I can’t wait to find a project that needs some leaves. They are just gorgeous!!!!! Thanks Kelly!!!!

Hi Kelly! So glad I found you on periscope these past few months. … loved watching you and conversing a little. Hard to believe you just learned water coloring in 2015. It’s encouraging. Means I can learn too!

I have been seeing some amazing watercolored cards and your cards amongst them, Very pretty. My new year goal is to attempt my hand at such. Wish me luck! Thanks for a chance at such generous package of goodies.
Hi Kelly. This is an amazing gift. This is my crafty resolution for this year…Learning to water colour! I have been spending the past couple of months collecting what I need to be ready. Lets hope I don’t ruin it all. LOL
happy new year! The flower cards are so pretty! I’ve never done that either but if I win this, I will definitely be giving it a try! thanks for an awesome blog hop!
Your stamp set is so pretty! And your watercolor flowers are beautiful… I will definitely have to check out your videos…thanks for being a part of this hop and happy new year!
I have tried some water coloring but I must need to watch some tutorials because I can never get my cards to look as good as yours.
I noticed you started water coloring last year. Been following your blog since the last Seasons Giving blog hop! Thanks for being a part of it again this year. I did just add you to my Pinteres.
Happy New Year and much continued success in 2016!
Water coloring is so much fun! I love my spectrum Aqua pens and the zig real brushes (or whatever they are called 😉 ). I also never thought I would be able to be so creative. But this year proofed me wrong. Thanks to all of you for sharing the inspiration and kindness! Happy new year!
Your watercoloring is amazing! I am loving water coloring too, but I do not have your skills! Thanks for being part of this wonderful hop! Happy New Year!!
I love to watercolor on cards and scrapbook pages but don’t do as much as I’d like. Yours looks wonderful….so inspiring! Thanks for the chance to win! Happy 2016!
Happy new year and all the best in 2016! Wow, I live in Canada and I didn’t know about the Canadian Scrapbooker magazine, so thanks for introducing me to that!
I just received some Derwent Inktense pencils for Christmas and can’t wait to learn to watercolor with them! Thanks for the inspiration and encouragement!
I love your stamp set, I think I will buy it if I don’t win it! Your watercolour flowers are beautiful I would defiantly be interested in taking an online class to learn about doing that as well as hand lettering! I am defiantly going to subscribe to your blog, so happy to have found it through this great blog hop.
Oh wow! Can I just say water coloring and hand lettering are kind of an obsession for me also. Though, I’m still in the learning, watching, practicing stage. Maybe by end of 2016 I will have fully embraced it the way you have. 🙂 thank you for participating in the blog hop so I could find your site. I will be following now. Happy new year!
I love the stamp set you designed. Your lettering and watercoloring are fantastic and have inspired me to give it a try. I’m so glad I found this hop and so much inspiration from everyone.

I would love to learn to letter and to become better at watercoloring in general. Thank you for participating in this hop and for the lovely and generous prize you are offering. I look forward to your online class this year.
Wow..such beautiful cards,love the technique of watercolor,which I have to learn,I’m new in this hobby and want to learn a lot! Love your giveaway and the stamp set(I’ll have to get it).Thanks for sharing and many blessings!

I have fainted! LOL THANK YOU so much Kelly!!!!! What an amazing way to end the week. I’m so excited. I can’t wait to make a card with this beautiful stamp set.
Oh I can’t believe it! I am so very excited! I have so enjoyed visiting your blog and seeing your beautiful creations. I will so enjoy and cherish the cards I get to make with your wonderful prize. Thank you again for your gracious generosity!
thank you for your wonderful Periscopes. My english is not good, but i understand mostly what you say. I´m happy about your next periscope, see you soon!
Greetings from Germany, Kathrin from innenleben design
Kelly, CaDo’s to you! This is Awesome!!! I received the ScanNCut cm500 (I believe) for Christmas from my Husband, and am scared to death to even turn it on!! But I can not wait to try it, at the same time. Any ADVICE !?!?!
Did you find that beach with all the glass in Bottle Cove or near by York Harbour? We will be visiting in July and am hoping to bring home a few pieces of “The Rock” with me. Thanks!
So exciting! Your brush lettering is gorgeous. The time & efforts you took to create the practice sheets, appreciated. You were one of the first people I connected with on Periscope & hope to meet you & Finn in person one day!
Hi Katrina! You can click on the SHOP at the top menu or LEARN BRUSH LETTERING tab at the top. There you will receive instructions on how to get the download. The two sets are available for purchase in my “SHOP”. Let me know if you need any help. Thanks!
To download the free Bouncy Drills worksheet set, you will have to go through the check out process even though it’s free. You won’t have to pay anything, I don’t use your info for anything either.
Kelly I appreciate your tutorials very much. Other instructors go quite fast and I can’t always see what they are doing on the screen. You speak at a good pace and clearly show what you’re doing. Thank you.
Fantastic job, Kelly. I purchased the bundle and am so happy with it. Brush lettering is on my “I’ve Got to Learn How to Do This” list and I know that your sheets will make the learning process fun!
Hello Kelly! I love this post and I love your video! Have you tried these Chameleon Pens also for brush lettering? Or are they more for coloring? Sunny greetings!!
Karleigh here! Thank you so much for answering our queries! Too bad they bleed out fast. They would’ve been so perfect otherwise. Thing is,I wouldn’t mind Tombows too but I HATE the colour combination that come in pack. I would love to be able to pick the colours I like instead of having to chose a pack with fixed range of colours, especially because whatever pack I DON’T end up liking is almost always out of stock. Since I order from Amazon I don’t even have the luxury of choosing individual pens.
Loved your scope over the weekend on connecting letters! So nicely broken down, as is the “Kelly way”. Wish it was on either You Tube or IG. I have an online friend that I share lettering resources with. Wish I could direct her to that great video. Thank you for great lettering to watch and great learning opportunities:)
I purchased Kelly’s bundle deal, as I knew having both the drills and the lowercase alphabet together would jump start my learning! The value of these worksheets (and trust me you, you get a lot!) can’t be beat, and Kelly really cares about you learning this craft. She includes an entire page of tips and tricks to really boost you from day one! You can tell that she put her love and care into this product, and I wouldn’t hesitate purchasing this again! – Troy
I am loving your worksheets. They really help with where to put pressure on the pen and where to let up.
Do you have a single sheet with the upper and lower case letters on it available as a reference? That would be really helpful for when I feel ready to do the letters freehand, but need to remember what each one looks like.
Hi Marshall, Because of your comment, I am going to develop that reference sheet and send it to customers who have signed up for my newsletter. Thanks for the great idea! love it!
These are the first brush lettering worksheets I have ever purchased. I am absolutely loving how my lettering has improved since I have been practicing. Thank you!
Kelly’s brush Lettering Worksheets bundle is the first set of guides to learn Calligraphy that I purchased. It is by far the best purchase I have ever made! Kelly loves her craft and is very interested in teaching others this art.
I fell in love with brush lettering when I found Kellycreates on IG. I never thought I could learn it too. These worksheets are amazing. I place them under my tracing paper and follow along. I’ve greatly improved since I started a couple months ago and I always come back to these sheets to practice before I start free writing.
I have been using these worksheets to work on my brush strokes! It requires a lot of practice but these worksheets are great for a beginner like myself!
Kelly’s worksheet bundle is my first step into brush lettering, and I am already addicted! Kelly’s font is beautiful, and the worksheets are very simple to follow. I can’t wait to continue practicing!
I love the worksheets! It’s a relaxing pastime as well as learning a new form of writing! Hoping to get better by practicing everyday. Slowly seeing an improvement which is encouraging!
Fantastic work sheets, so convenient being able to print them off yourself and practice when you feel in the mood. I also checked out the youtube channel of Kelly’s and found lots of informative videos to watch. Will definitely be purchasing the small brush pdfs.

I really appreciate these worksheets for giving me the structure I need for my practice. The letters are so clean and and neate. I would love to jump in and start writing words and sentences but these worksheets help me lay the proper foundation and muscle memory I need for consistent letter formation. Looking forward to purchasing more!
Ii have been anticipating the upper case for a while now. Kelly hasn’t disappointed with these Lovely letters. Thank you Kelly for making it easy for us to learn brush lettering!
Kelly’s worksheets are great for beginners like me. The drills are really helpful in learning the different strokes. It takes a lot of practice to build muscle memory so it’s great you can print as many sheets as you wants.
These drills are extremely helpful with learned how to form letters and learning how to control the pressure of you pen. I recommend using all of the drills and worksheets when learning or maintaining brush lettering skills.
Like many others, I got hooked on brush lettering after finding Kelly’s Instagram page. This is the first training bundle I’ve purchased, but I know it won’t be the last. The pages were easy to download, retrieve and print. The drills are straightforward and have helped me build muscle memory. Additionally, the tips at the beginning of the practice sheets are really helpful. I refer to them often.
I purchased these worksheets after seeing Kelly’s beautiful writing on Instagram. They were simple to download and print, and came with hints and tips for how to perfect your strokes! Practicing has never been easier.
I loved this bundle! It was my first purchase from this website. The drills really helped me focus on how much pressure to use depending on the stroke I was doing and they helped make learning lowercase a lot easier. It’s so nice to come home after work and sit down to relax by practicing with these worksheets!
What a great way to be introduced to brush lettering with a small brush pens. I’m glad I went for the bundle as the drills are a really nice warm-up before starting to learn to handletter ABCs and words. I also appreciated the full page of tops and tricks that was included. Overall, definitely a worthwhile purchase for the beginner in brush lettering!
I bought the brush lettering lower case alphabet yesterday and I’m super happy with my purchase. This is exactly what I wanted. I was looking for practice worksheets that you can go over the letters to create muscle memory. I can’t wait to start filling up the pages.
Thank you Kelly. I’ll be purchasing some more of your work sheets. I love to support my fellow Canadian entrepreneurs.
Love these worksheets, if you are thinking about getting them, don’t wait any longer they are amazing. Practice makes perfect :] I recommend reading the first page too for helpful tips BEFORE Printing the whole alphabet out. Thank you Kelly for having these awesome worksheets!
Love these drill worksheets, if you are thinking about getting them, don’t wait any longer they are amazing. Practice makes perfect :] I recommend reading the first page to for helpful tips BEFORE Printing the whole alphabet out. Thank you Kelly for having these awesome worksheets!
I was mesmerized by Kelly’s instagram (kellycreates) and it inspired me to start learning brush lettering myself. Her practice sheets are beautiful and have helped me to improve very quickly! They are a great place to start learning brush lettering. Thank you Kelly!

I found Kellycreates on Instagram and found a new love for hand lettering! these work sheets are amazing, Definitely worth your money, I highly recommend them :]
I am so ready to learn this lettering! I have been itching to start a new hobby, and this makes it so much easier to do so! Thank you for creating this!
I followed Kelly’s practice sheets a little each day. At first I thought “this looks terrible, it’s never going to happen”. But I kept at it, 10 minutes a day and little by litte I started to see progress and now I am in love with the results. I have even rewarded myself with a set of new pens! I am so thrilled to have this skill that I LOOK for ways to use it 😉
These are so neat — I looked through other worksheets and the letters weren’t nearly as perfect. It’s best to practice with perfection as the example! I look forward to buying more of the worksheets!
just purchased this bundle and the upper case as well. can’t wait to get started learning this beautiful lettering so excited I found your page have been wanting to learn calligraphy for many years!!!
Just purchased this and the drill and lower case bundle. They are hot off the press and cant wait to get home and start practicing!! have been wanting to learn for so many years hoping this will push me in the right direction so glad I found your sight!!!
I absolutely LOVE these worksheets! My first brush pens came in the mail today and I cannot stop writing. Kelly’s worksheets provide a great place to start when learning to create proper strokes and letters. Thanks for inspiring me, Kelly! Can’t wait to learn the small brush pen styles when my Tombow Fudensoke pens arrive!
These drills are awesome and a staple in a beginning letterer’s arsenal. You can’t get the other sheets and leave out the drills. As I practice my letters, I find myself making little mistakes over and over. I go back to my drills and it fixes my mistake every time.
This worksheet set is a MUST-HAVE! Most of the letters you’ll be drawing (not writing, as Kelly says!) will be lowercase letters. You can’t brush letter without these worksheets. They are amazing. Everyone has their own style, but these get you started so that you can, one day, play around with letters more. In my opinion this is a quicker way to brush lettering expertise than if you were to just pick up a brush lettering pen and go at it. Definitely purchase this worksheet set – I would highly recommend it.
This set is perfect for beginning brush letterers! The strokes are long and wide, giving you ample space to really get the hang of using your new brush pen. I like the instructions included that offer helpful tips as you go on your lettering journey.
I purchased this bundle deal because I knew it was exactly what I needed to get going with brush lettering. I don’t think anyone could get very far without their practice drills and being able to utilize lowercase letters. If you’re going to get a bundle, I would highly suggest this one.
I recently bought these drills as more of a starter kit to see if I would like brush lettering and would have the time/patience to pick up this skill/hobby. So far, so good! I’ve only practiced a handful of the letters, but the drills make it very easy to practice. Kelly also provides a list of helpful hints to try and help you get started, which I also found to be great!
I absolutely love these drill worksheets. I would be lost without them! I print them on regular printer paper and then use tracing paper over them. Works great!
I am loving these worksheets Kelly!! They are a wonderful guide for me, as I’m a beginner at lettering. I use them every day when I practice my lettering.
Having the drills and the exemplars has made my brush lettering journey so much more fulfilling! The tips she provides are really helpful in refining your practice, and I feel like I have more confidence in my technique. I also appreciate Kelly for personally reaching out to me to make sure I was able to download the worksheets without any issues. I definitely look forward to downloading the uppercase letters!
Years ago I taught a calligraphy class to friends in my women’s club using only italic alphabet and calligraphy pens. It was a great success and I enjoy using the beautiful lettering on my annual Christmas cards.
Now that i am retired I decided to branch out and try some new alphabets. And then I found Kelly! The worksheets are so helpful and a great support when first starting out. You can teach an “old” woman new tricks! I’m 75 and still learning. Thanks to Kelly, I have the support and encouragement I need. Love the tips that keep you from getting stuck!
I downloaded the free worksheet to try after seeing you on Instagram. I have ordered the pens from Amazon and cannot wait to give it a whirl. You write beautifully!
This is my first try at brush lettering. I love using the worksheets with my new Tomball pens! It’s very relaxing for someone like me who always has a project. I am practicing as much as I can though I don’t feel very confident yet. I watch your video while practicing to remind me of all the components of creating good letter forms. It’s all so new to me but that’s the point of learning, right?
I love these! I thought I would never be able to learn fun lettering, but this really helped my non-artistic self. I still feel like I’m not very good, but the more I practice the better I get. It’s really all about practice, and these worksheets make it easy. I use them with a tracing pad so it’s super-easy. Love!
i just came back from new York with hundreds of dollars spent in calligraphy pens (tombow, sharpie, and one other I cant remember the name)! I would love love love to win ANY of your sheets!
I am loving my purchase so far. I’ve tried to work on it a lot over the weekend and I’m up to the ovals. I am not sure how good I will eventually be, but I’m having a good time so far. I have high hopes!! I downloaded a whole lot of free sheets previously but nothing compares to your worksheets. I LOVE that I can use tracing paper and use the sheets over and over. Thanks so much!!
Thank you Kelly for these fabulous worksheets! I purchased the Lower Case Alphabet and drills bundle, as well as the Uppercase Alphabet. Wow! This is exactly what I had been looking for!! Although I have a long way to go, my writing is already improving! Thank you so very much!!
I can’t believe how easy these sheets make learning brush lettering. I have been obsessed with learning for over a year now. After spending at least $100 on books and tools with instructions, I still felt I was no better than when I began. After finding Kelly on Instagram I immediately purchased this bundle. This is exactly what I was looking for, a simple, straight forward and easy to follow guide. I have been thrilled with the outcome and can’t wait to see what I will add to my collection and knowledge next. I also love the monthly bonus sheets and Kelly herself is truly an inspiration. Thank you so much!!!
I have been admiring brush lettering for quite sometime and have read reviews and looked into different tutorials and by far Kelly’s workbooks and drills have been more helpful than any! She has helpful tips at the beginning and little insites to success! She mentions it as an art and not as just writing, that has helped tremendously in slowing down and enjoying the process! I would definitely buy again!
Kelly so excited for you! It has been so fun following you from the beginning, just before you became a Tombow Senior Ambassador! Here’s to many more blessings in 2017!
You’re super talented, and really good at the hand-lettering. SO much for me to learn, but I look forward to it for sure. I always want to continue to learn new techniques. Thanks for the fabulous inspiration.
Thanks for taking part.
Blessings,
Karen Letchworth http://www.karen-mycuprunnethover.blogspot.com

Lettering is so difficult for me as a lefty… I would love the chance to win and get some practice in! Thanks, and congratulations on making your hard work pay off! 🙂 Happy New Year!
Thank you so much for sharing your creativity and artistry; you inspire me so much. My crafting goal for 2017 is to try to create at least once a week. Doesn’t seem like a lot but balancing work, my family, and taking care of my mom leaves little time for anything else but crafting freshens my soul so it’s important.
Kelly, what a wonderful giveaway! You were the one to inspire me to start brush lettering and I am so grateful! It is my new favorite art form. I love getting your monthly newsletter and I hope I get to meet you some day!

do a fabulous job.

Beautiful lettering. I have never tried this art but my friend practices everyday and has gotten quiet good at it. My handwriting is so poor I would have a long way to go.
One of the things I want to learn and incorporate into my paper crafting is hand lettering. I was so excited to come across your blog on the hop! I’m signing up! I’ve been leading a class on Bible Journaling and this is where I want to use it the most.
I did calligraphy with pen and nibs years ago but not brush. Love the stamps with your lettering. Thanks for the chance to win one of the wonderful prizes. The best to you in 2017.

I’m new here, and as a life-long calligrapher I’m loving your work, Kelly!
Looking forward to learning more brush calligraphy from your website and emails 🙂
I have been enthralled with calligraphy for years. I wore mu ink proudly. no instruction other than what was on the box. this is an awesome opportunity, plus your stamps are gorgeous.
Happy New Year!! So glad I found your blog & have become a subscriber. I’m crazy over hand lettering & just need the proper supplies to get started. I would love to win. Thanks for the opportunity.

Oooh, I love your lettering…and your giveaway that might help ME to learn how to do this too! Best wishes for a happy, healthy and prosperous New Year!
Happy New Year Kelly!!! I stopped viewing Periscope so haven’t caught you “that” way lately, but see you on IG and the blog of course. You had a great year and taught us all so much – if not lettering, then surely how to smile and laugh when we needed it. Can’t wait to see what your focus is for 2017!
Happy New Year! Wow what a fabulous job you do on lettering, gorgeous. Thank you for participating in the blog hop and giving us a chance to win a great prize.
What a generous prize. I love the look of brush lettering and use letter stickers. Learning to do my own brush lettering would solve the lack of vowel problem. Checking out your store. Thanks for having me.
Such an exciting prize – I have always wanted to know how to letter better!! Thank you for this awesome chance!! Love your work – you are so gifted and talented!! Happy New Year to you!!
How exciting for you, Kelly, and congratulations! I’m envious because I would LOVE to learn brush lettering. Your cards are just delightful, and your prize is one of the best. Thanks for the chance to win!
Wow! I’m new to your blog. Your lettering is amazing. After seeing your work, I want to work on lettering. I used to write in calligraphy many, many years ago. I’m so glad I found your blog!! Thank you!!
I am a brand new visitor to your blog today, and I have decided to follow you by email. I would LOVE to win this as I am just getting started with learning how to do more brush lettering techniques! I have learned a lot of very formal calligraphy styles and now it’s time to use a more free flowing style for cardmaking! I’m looking forward to seeing more from you in 2017! Have a warm and wonderful New Year!
Michele
Thank you so much for your contributions to the crafty community! Thank you for taking part in the Seasons of Giving Blog Hop and for the chance to win such an awesome giveaway!! Happy 2017!
Kelly, Your calligraphy is amazing! I’m signing up to follow your beautiful work. Wishing you much happiness, good health and much success in the New Year!
Hi! Besides cardmaking, I’m also practicing handlettering. In fact for me they complement each other. I’m from Portugal and there aren’t many stamps in portuguese so instead of stampin sentiments I’m writting them.
This might be my favorite prize offering on this entire hop. I have been attempting lettering and it isn’t going so well. LOL! I would love to really learn to do it properly and these guides would be such a great way to begin that process! You do such gorgeous work, Kelly, you really do. Your lettering is truly inspiring. Thank you for being awesome! Happy New Year!
I have recently been undergoing chemo and radiation, and God has required me to “slow down” a bit. Your worksheets have been very therapeutic and calming for me as I rest. Watching YOU write is very peaceful and I thank you for sharing your talent with us. Bless you.
You are the one who got me hooked on the brush lettering, its so elegant. Sometimes I just dont think I’ll get it but i keep practicing. great giveaway. Have a wonderful 2017!
Your lettering is so lovely. My mother did calligraphy that was beautiful but I have yet to try anything like that. Perhaps this year will be the year to start. Speaking of starts, winning this incredible prize would be just the thing to get me going! Thank you for the chance to win it.
I’m a new visitor and am thrilled to find you! I love lettering and have done a little bit. I am interested in your practice sheets, so I’ll be back to your shop! Thanks so much for sharing your beautiful work!
Happy 2017! Thanks for participating in such a fun hop. I’m trying to get into brush lettering with pens and nibs but it’s not looking too pretty yet haha. Keep up the fabulous work.
So glad to find you. Look forward to following you and seeing all of your fantastic work. Thanks for being a part of the hop and the wonderful prizes. Wishing you continued success in 2017.
I am so thankful I found your page! I’m a mother of four sons, plus a husband, which leaves no time for myself. I always loved calligraphy so he was no surprise when I started itching to learn. I came across your page and I’m officially hooked. Really looking forward to learning all the techniques I can! Thank you for your time and blogging!!!
Super work beautifying the world and teaching people to be relaxed and creative, Kelly. Only some of your super powers, my friend. You are a beacon of light. I’m glad to know you and your mom and dad are watching over you with pride and glueing love.
I always stop what I’m doing to watch your videos. I will make it a point to read your blog (it slipped my mind that you had one) and now I realize that I’ve been missing out. Happy new year!
Wishing you all the best in 2017 and thanks for the great prize you are offering. I’ve always wanted to learn how to do this type of writing and the stamps are awesome.
Calligraphy, and hand lettering has been on my bucket list for such a long time. Your tools look like just what I need to learn. Found out about you on Creative Scrapbooker Magazine’s facebook page.
Wowwwww so kind of you for this opportunity to win!!! You are so talentuous! I’ll be so honoured to stamp your lettering on my scrapbook layout!
I wish you all the best for 2017!
Your handwriting is incredible and something I could watch you do for hours! Thank you for sharing you talent with us! Wishing your online shop great success! All the very best in 2017!
Wow Kelly!
I can sit and watch you do your lettering all day!
It is so therapeutic!
I am new to lettering, I used to do calligraphy many years ago.
I can not wait to get back into calligraphy and learn lettering and new writing skills!
I’m so excited!
Thank you for your beautiful blog!
Happy New Years!

Congrats, again, on your stamps – I remember when they first came out… they’re lovely! I enjoy seeing your posts on IG, tho I don’t get over here often enough to comment on your lovely work. What a fabulous prize… thanks for the chance to win!
Despite being in the Royal City Calligraphy Guild, I am not brush letter proficient. Your prize would entice me to break out my supplies and get practicing! All to best to you in 2017, and thanks for sharing this generous gift with us.
I just stumbled across your YouTube tutorials and discovered the fabolous world of Brush Lettering while looking for an outstanding way to create a beautiful wedding card for my best friend (where I will be maid-of-honor! ;)) – I can say I am totally amazed and fascinated! I can imagine it to be my new favourite hobby! I would love to take part in your give-away. Thanks for sharing your passion in such a great and understandable way,
Hi Crystal, Mostly I use Tombow Dual brush pens, Sakura Koi Coloring Brush Pens, and Kuretake Brushables or Scroll& Brush. For small brush tips, I like the Tombow Fudenosuke and the Pentel Sign Brush pens. There are also many more brush pens on the market that are great, but I don’t have them all ha ha. Hope this helps!
Hi Lisette, I actually don’t practice much with Sharpies. Mostly I use Tombow Dual brush pens, Sakura Koi Coloring Brush Pens, and Kuretake Brushables or Scroll& Brush. There are also many more brush pens on the market that are great, but I don’t have them all ha ha. Hope this helps!
Hi James, You can learn by buying a brush pen (either large tip or small tip) and then getting a set of my practice worksheets that are printable tracing guides. You will love them. Just click the SHOP tab to see them. I recommend Bundle 1 or Bundle 2 for beginners, depending on the brush tip size. Hope this helps!
Love this application of brush lettering and Tombow pens! I would not have thought to use the pens on a wood surface! Thanks for the inspiration Kelly!
Gorgeous! I picked up a wood box and used it to test different gold pens on it for a gift. Some did bleed. What would you use to prep the wood surface before lettering on it??
I used some Modge Podge on it after, but it wasn’t the glossy one so it looked a little dull. I need to grab a good glossy top coat.
Thank you Teresa! This is the first time I have used wood for lettering, so I recommend contacting Walnut Hollow about prepping the surface. I’m sure they are familiar with lots of products that are suitable.
Thank you so much for sharing this video on flowers with tombow. I appreciate your honesty and love your technique. I recently purchased a set of 96 and had this wish to do watercolour flowers with them. I was thinking I had wasted my money but I now feel inspired as I love watercolour and flowers. Once again a big thank you for sharing.
What a beautiful comment….thank you Marcella, you made my day. I love using Tombow Pens for watercolor art, but I haven’t been doing much of it lately because the lettering has taken over my life ha ha (in a good way).
Sue Anna, lefties can use any kind of brush pen and do beautiful lettering. I know many talented lettering artists who are left handed. Just practice and you will learn how!
Thank you for your amazing writing style. I do my own journaling and would love to have better penmanship. Hello from CSM and I and thank you for the inspiration
Kelley ,Kelley, your new stamps from CHA rock.Lettering is something I’m just starting to learn and yours are just the jump one needs.I hopped over from CS to let you know .
Love your stamps and the script. I am experimenting in ink with a calligraphy pen but haven’t been brave enough to use paint yet. Love your work, your cards are lovely!!
Just popping in to say thanks for participating in CSM’s big giveaway! I will definitely have to look at your lettering worksheets as I would love to get back into lettering etc!
Congratulations on writing a book. I have just started brush calligraphy and searching around I must say I like your approach the best. A book will be another way you can teach people the “Kelly Creates” way 🙂
Congratulations Kelly!!!!! Your book will definitely be on my list!! That is so amazing for you and as the saying goes, “never give up on your dreams”.
I enjoyed “meeting you” at the Christmas giveaway Creative Scrapbooker Magazine had, so this is an added bonus. Thanks so much. Your stamps are gorgeous!!! I am a stamp addict, never enough 😉
Thank you Vickie! The best way to get started is to find some brush pens and smooth paper. Also I recommend my worksheets… Bundle 1 for large brush pens or Bundle 2 for small brush pens is where beginners should start.
Wouldn’t ZIG clean color brush markers fall into this category? Seems They are very popular among you designers so wondering why not included. Thank you for your work and sharing.
Janet, there are lots of different brush pens I didn’t include, and the Kuretake Zig Clean Color brush markers are very nice. I didn’t include them because the brush pens with actual bristles are more challenging to use for beginners. But I do love them!
Thank you Kelly – I stand in front of the pens at the scrap store and go through confusion, excitement and back to confusion. I watched the video and am working in confident next time!
Thank you so much for the video it helped alot and you also inspired me in handlettering/brushlettering and watoercolor… im gonna use your guide worksheet paper. thank you so much.
i looooooooooooooooooooove your videoes and you are so good at handlettering and you inspired me in handlettering art.. but i cant afford the expensive pens!
could you do a video were you try cheap/afordable handlettering pens, brushpens…? please
Thank you for your kind comment! A lot of brush pens only cost a couple of dollars, depending where you live. But I will do a video about faux calligraphy which you can use with any pens. Coming soon….
Love your techniques…..you make it look so easy!!! Being a retired teacher, I was looking for something to fill my time and learning a new method of writing is doing just that! Thanks for all you do and I can’t wait to see your new book!!!
I love working with my Tombow markers. I’m always interested in the color combinations other artist have worked with. Would you please give us the numbers of your ‘rainbow’ markers in this post.
You make it look so easy Kelly. I love calligraphy and used to do it a bit years ago. I am happy to start doing it again and you are a great teacher. Love watching your video’s!! You have a great voice for them.
Thanks again
Sue

Hi Julie, lots of lefties are talented lettering artists. And there are also a lot of lefties who use my worksheets. It doesn’t matter which pen or worksheet you use with your left hand, but you will have to adjust the position of the paper and the push pull technique on the brush pen.
I would use these to help my daughter learn to write fancy script. She is 8 and already has beautiful cursive writing. I would love to encourage her to expand her creativity.
It would be the world for me to get these pens. I would learn how to write just like Kelly because she is my inspiration and I want to be just like her when I grow up. I would write letters to people in my school to make their day when they are sad.
If I won these marvellous brush pens I would use them to diligently do my brush pen drills and homework from Kelly’s Lettering sheets which I purchased yesterday. I would also use them with my newfound skills to finally make my BuJo look more beautiful!
My daughter loves using pens and markers to create things. She is very good at it. She would probably use them to do her thing and possibly enter as a 4H project. Thanks
These pens are gorgeous. Couldn’t get enough of your Instagram video just now! If I won them, I’d use them to work on an alphabet book I’m making for my kids and some cousins and friends. The colors in both of these are brilliant!
Hi all!! I would use these amazing pens to create graduation invitations and for thank you notes for those that attended my graduation celebration from Elmira College! I will be graduating as a nurse with a bachelors so it would be so helpful to win these pens, because I am a college student at the moment! Maybe I can send in my loan bills with beautiful calligraphy! Haha!
I would use these on my scrapbook pages, for titles and decorative touches. I think they’d work great for adding touches of colour to some stamped images as well. Great colours.
I like to create art for my friends and family, especially birthday cards. So if I received these pens, they would definitely go towards making some nice cards and they’d help me practice my calligraphy.
I Ahave never used brush pens but always wanted to, they just don’t seem to widely sell them here, plus I’m a uni student so funds are scarce! If I won I would definitely make the most of them, I find writing calms me down an awful lot. I have pages and pages of just random words written down and find learning new cursive to be rather therapeutic, for me personally. There’s just only so much you can do with a normal ball-point pen and basic calligraphy pen,so these would be great!
Great blog by the way!
Oooo these are gorgeous (for a pen, right?) If I won these pens, I wood make more signs for my craft projects and homemade thank you cards. I love giving people personal, handmade things, so instead of buying thank you cards, I figured why not make my own???
I would love to win these pens so I can practise my calligraphy. This brand doesn’t exists in Paraguay!! And getting them in Amazon is a lil expensive because of shipping..
Hi, I’m Sarah I’m a senior in college majoring in illustration. I want to practice more with type and design. I love the way you write and would love to practice with them using the same pens you use. Thank you!
I would love to use these pens to practice my lettering. I have been practicing my strokes and letters but I haven’t really practiced lettering words or quotes.
It’s been a while that I have been planning to purchase a marker and template sheet to start learning calligraphy. If I win the pen I will definitely jump start on this dream 🙂
I would use them to help me learn how to be a letterer. I have just started and your videos are so much help! I am hoping to purchase your thick brush pen worksheets for my birthday this month!
Just starting hand lettering. Hope to become proficient enough to create gifts! In meantime, as meditation practice. I love the watercolor, ombré quality of these pens. Hope their beauty will inspire exceptional discipline in practicing!
I would use these pens for learning how to write. I’ve tried before but i don’t have the right pens for them. i would also let my sister use these for writing because she is amazing at cursive!
I would love to continue to do brush lettering, I love the colours these pens come in. I took a class with you, last November and love to do lettering. Thank you if I should win these. Elaine
Nothing in particular ? I wanted to learn something new to de-stress after work and your worksheets have been a huge help. I imagine these are much better than the ones I’ve been using!
i’d use them to improve my lettering, im not a huge fan of the pens i have now, but i dont have much money, and considering that lettering is one of my only hobbies i would absolutely love to have pens like these
Initially I started with greeting cards, I began to do calligraphy,lettering and brush lettering in order to add more of a personal touch to my cards. Unfortunately, due to unemployment, I lost amy stamps, markers, inks, embossing powders & equipment, colored pencils, cardstock and embellishments all stored in a storage unit. So, they would help in building my resources up again.
I’d love to win the Marvy “Color In” brush pens for planning. It has become a huge hobby of mine to take my planner to the next level with hand lettering, sticker kits, and scrapbooking elements. Thank you for the review and opportunity!
I am just learning brush lettering and have purchased your practice sheets, so I guess I would practice brush lettering using these new pens.
Thanks for sharing and for the chance to win.
First I would like to thank you for sharing your comparisons. My son was attracted to calligraphy since gradeschool. I got him a traditional dip ink pen which he has used ever since and recently did all of his wedding invitations himself in calligraphy. I think he would be over the moon if I could give him the small barrel Marvy pens as he has a condition (essential tremor) and prefers the better control he has with smaller barrels. Thank you for the opportunity to share.
I have just gotten “hooked” on making greeting cards. I would like to do my own writing vs “stamping”.
A brush-pen is totally fascinating! So delighted to find you!
I am having a baby in September and getting married in August of 2018. I’ve always wanted to create my own invitations and write my thank you notes but my handwriting could use some work. I would use this to create beautiful work for my showers and events coming up. I’ve always wanted to learn calligraphy but I’ve never known where to go. Thank you so much!
I would use these pens to practice my calligraphy for my scrapbook cards and pages, and to also colour my colouring book pages and to colour in any stamping things Ive made for my cards or scrapbook pages. Would love to win these.
I recently started to learn brush lettering as I got tombow brush pens for Christmas! I would love to keep practicing and try out a different type of pen. 🙂
Wow, it seems that everyone on here would do calligraphy and card making with them. So would I, but I would also like to learn how to draw Manga characters too. I even have the nice marker paper to use them on! Thanks for the chance to win and thank you for your generosity too. 🙂 Great giveaway.
I would love to be able to hand letter on my cards and layouts. The pens would be wonderful for learning and practicing. Thanks so much for your give away.
I would use these pens to practice which I’m finding very challenging but can’t help but love the feeling of seeing me produce a beautiful script every now and then. Live love love your work!
The Le Plume II pens are gorgeous! I would use them to practice my brush calligraphy as they would be my first real set of brush pens! My husband and I are moving this week, so I would have an entire day to just indulge in these pens!! Really hope I win and that this giveaway is open to Americans.
I would love to use these pens for a mixed media journal and scrap booking, which I do often. Plus it would be a great way to work on my brush writing.
If I was one of the lucky winners of these fabulous pens I would use them to write messages in my handmade cards 🙂 Thanks for the chance to win, Kelly 🙂
I work for a Learning Center and I love to find new and creative ways to draw attention to the information we try to get across to the parents and the public.
Practice 🙂 I want to practice more with actual brush pens. I just got my first real one but have been too cheap to get anymore. I’m going to start saving up to get some more. If I won I would use them for lots of more practice.
I would love those pens. Thanks for offering a chance to win. I would use them in a monthly bible art journaling I attend and assist at my Church’s art ministry program.
Ooooh!! I’ve been eyeing these and wondering! Thanks for the review! I would use these for lettering art for my kids. The bright colors would be perfect t.
If I win, I would use them to make art and show the world! More specifically art like callligraphy about the verses in the Bible, love and motivational quotes!
I would love to have some of these pens as my fiancé and I are getting married in the near future and we are on a very tight budget, so the invitations and a few other things have to be made personally by my family and I. These would be perfect to make them absolutely gorgeous!
I’m an artist and I love expanding my range of capabilities. Calligraphy is something I’ve always wanted to explore and incorporate into my work. These would be a lovely start!
I would use these as I begin learning the art of brush lettering. I would love to be able to experiment with different types and brands of brush pens. Thanks! 🙂
I would share these Awesome pens with my two daughters. Both are artistic and love to draw and write. We recently started a hobby of painting rocks and writing encouraging notes or painting something beautiful to brighten people’s day. Random acts of kindness! ❤️
I would love to win these to start writing calligraphy. Bought some resently and wanted to start but they were bad quality so I am on the look out of a set to learn.
I would love to win the Color In pens so that I can continue on my journey of lettering, which I just recently found joy in doing. I appreciate the opportunity. Thanks!
I am new to brush pens and I have only one on hand, would love to learn the beautiful art of calligraphy and brush pen writing to go with my craft making. While my cursive is pretty good, it is no were near the beauty I see in all the beautiful writing. I have other pens for artistic drawing but not for writing. Thank you for sharing, I loved watching all the wonderful events at CHA and only wished that I could have been there.
I would use these pens to decorate for my wedding and sign the cards for our invitations! There is a real endless possibly for my wedding with these pens.
I’d definitely be using these to letter some invitations that a friend asked me to do! They would also greatly improve the quality of my calligraphy – the pens I’m working with now are all right, but nothing like what these sound like.
Oh wow – I would use them to create hand journaled titles on my pages, and create my own background pattern paper – I love the pattern per that has nothing but words!
Hi Kelly! Love your page! I recently have been stressed at work. Anxious and overworked I stumbled upon a book called The Four Agreements. It helped me put my problems into perspective. I don’t consider myself an artistic person but I love writing/calligraphy. Your Women’s March post has inspired me to want to create 4 pieces all relating to The Four Agreements. A combination of words and imagery that would be daily reminders of the books’ simple yet profound teachings as well as my ability to keep creating what inspires me.
I’ve tried the Color In markers in pastel. I really like them. I’d love to try these colors too, and of course try the Le Plume II. I’d use them for brush lettering!! You can never have too many markers. 🙂
I just purchased some of your worksheets and drills sheets – I’m having so much fun! I’d love these pens to try other pens as I only have a few brush pens so far .
I would like to use them to improve my calligraphy and find out different styles with em. Also I’m planning to take up a 30 day challenge, lettering God’s words….. Also these sets and all others too are way too expensive in my country…. I would be happy to win this giveaway?
I, too, have started brush lettering not that long ago due to lack of good pens in my city 🙁 so this is a great opportunity for me.
Also i would use them to make my comics characters “sound” more interesting with different colours and fonts of their phrases.
I would really love to have these pens! I would use them to do some lettering in my bullet journal to decorate. I’ve wanted these pens for a while so i would love to win them:)
I would love to use these on all the holiday gifts I do for my children’s teachers and my son’s therapists, as well as other fun projects and just for fun!
If I get these gorgeous brush pens I’ll use them in my upcoming first bujo. I’ve done Chinese calligraphy before but I’ve never done brush lettering in English so this will be a new experience for me! Plus I’m not starting university until probably September so I have a lot of free time on my hands
If I won the color in pens, I would love to use them to make a statement for addressing my wedding invitations and also use them on the invitations themselves! They are just gorgeous.
I’ve recently starting practicing lettering and calligraphy, and I’m moving in July, so I would use these pens to make posters to decorate my new place with!
I have just started art journaling and am interested in learning how to do hand lettering for writing on the pages instead of using stamps to put a sentiment on the page. I have been practicing with markers I have but they are not brush markers. I think brush markers would produce a much nicer look.
i would use this to show other people how to do brush lettering, and to show anyone that if they think they don’t have any gifts that they can try brush lettering!!!!
Hi Kelly! I am only beginning to learn brush lettering, I have even purchased some of your learners worksheets. I would love these pens as I only have one black pen right now and I would love some more variety! I am a college student so saving money to buy more pens takes a while. I’ve never had a hobby or been good at sports so I feel like I finally found something I love! Now I just need the materials to enjoy it! Thank you for your consideration!
I would use these pens in my classroom to help encourage handwriting as a hobby for my students. So many of them rely on computers and never truly learned script or cursive. As I try to decipher their writing week after week, I always think of the line from “Steel Magnolias” that goes something like “You have the handwriting of a serial killer.” hahaha! I’ve been encouraging them to write in cursive and I think using these pens as an incentive/reward for trying would be helpful!
Wow i would love to win the Colo in markers as i am about to venture into the world of lettering. Thank you for the chance to win and good luck everyone.
I would use them in my bullet journal to practice my lettering. I have always wanted to do my own sentiments and make my cads even more personalized. A good goal, I think!
Once upon a time I was very creative and crafty, I have recently returned to my artistic roots and have been researching lettering. I would love a set to start this fantastic journey.
If I can win this wonderful brush pens, I would like to use it for my school purposes. Because I don’t have enough money to purchase this kind of products. I believe that if I can win this, I can improve my creativity and I can use this to improve my projects on school. Thank you for giving us a chance. More power! Thank you. 🙂
Oh my giddy aunt how much would i like to win these pens? (either set) LOADS, LOTS & even more than that. Hubby bought me some gorgeous calligraphy fountain pens and inks about 6 years ago, and unfortunately they have been kept in their gorgeous boxes till just last week. Things happen In life that takes you down a route you had no intention of going, well I’m back on my route now, so the calligraphy pens hubby got me came out just last week and I loved every minute of doing calligraphy. I’d love to learn it from the beginning and have signed up for classes after easter. Whoop whoop time for me now yippee ☺
I would use these markers for creating water color cards by inking up my stamps with them, spritzing with water and stamping. Thanks for the fab giveaway!
Oh, I would love to add these colors to my collection of brush pens. I am working on learning brush lettering but only have black at the moment. Some color would be nice!!
I would use these pens to add to my scrapbooking, card making and everyday paper crafting. I love the joy of peoples faces when you do something just for them….and how personal this would be!
I would love to win this pens because I’m starting with hand lettering and I need to practice a lot! I have discovered the calm that hand lettering offers and that is a perfect way to let the creativity flow!!
In my country there are so little options of brush pens, that I have to stick with some that are no flexible at all, or spend too much to get some good ones!
I would love to use these to perfect my writing to eventually hand-make all of my wedding invitations and certain decorations we are planning kn implementing!
I absolutely love the look of your lettering. I want to learn how to do this myself. I am a scrapbooker and cardmaker and I would use these on my layouts and cards. I also think some wall art would be fun to create. Thanks for the chance to win the giveaway!
My love of calligraphy from 30yrs ago still shows in my handwriting. I would love to use the markers for cards for patients & my co-workers. A beautiful handwritten card can open a heart for just a minute, but that minute lasts forever. I hope I can will these to help start my supply 🙂 thank you!!

Well, I would do all sorts of things with these pens. They would be GREAT for making pretty envelopes when sending cards to people. My scrapbook/art pages would benefit from some lovely markers. Thanks for considering me!

I’ve been surprisingly super stressed out over college and midterms and impending finals lately, and then I came across your Instagram and website. Seeing your brush videos made me want to learn calligraphy to release my stress and develop a new hobby:)
I would use these beautiful markers in my card making and for practicing lettering that I would share on Instagram with other creative. I love a good brush marker these look very smooth ?
I’m into card making and scrapbooking and these pens and learning the technique would enhance my creations so much! Would love to learn how to do this!
I’m very new to the hand lettering game. Lately, I’ve been under a tremendous amount of stress and I’ve found that practicing calligraphy has helped me cope/keep my calm and focused. its so relaxing after a long day to just unwind and let your creativity flow
I stumbled upon your instagram account and have been in love with beginning to learn the basics of brush lettering. looking forward to use my new found hobby and learned skills when sending greeting cards to friends and family. i love the personal touch and thought of a receiving a beautiful card or note in the mail.
I would love to win these Pens! I am an aspiring Medical student and love staying organized and rewriting my notes. I would use these as a way to help me rewrite my notes and continue to study hard!! All my notes have script written on them- it keeps my mind at ease and makes studying fun!
My daughters and I are just getting started in brush lettering. I LOVE these colors, they would be perfect for us to get started. Thanks for the chance to win.
My 9 year old son and i recently learned calligraphy at homeschool co op in Bangkok Thailand where we’ve been living since my son was 8 months old.
It is not a very popular activity here tberefore its very difficult to get hold of the pens. The teacher who gaught us calligraphy bought ners online.
If i get to win these, my son and i will be delighted!!!
Thanks!
I would love to learn to use these. My son and I are beginning homeschool in the fall and I would love to incorporate this as an art lesson. I love this!!! Thank you for blessing someone special!!
I would absolutely love these; I have been meaning to get brush pens to practice my lettering, but with a wedding to plan, I can’t afford the extra expenses. I would be ecstatic to win! Thank you so much for the opportunity!
I would love to have these! My mother got sick and I had to use money for my daughter’s wedding for her so I’m trying to make as much as I can. Love your work!
My nephews and I each have special projects we do one on one together and my nine year old nephew saw your brush lettering and requested this be our special learning activity. Spending time with him alone doing something we are both so interested in fills my heart and this would be perfect!
These pens look great. I would love to win them for my daughter, Jen. Jen has severe anxiety and has struggled her whole life. I thought calligraphy would be helpful for her and purchased your starter kit and so many other accessories. Wow, has she taken off and does beautiful work. We all look forward to her handmade cards. Calligraphy has helped my daughter in so many ways and I would love to share this win with her.
These pen sets are gorgeous! I just love colorful pens of all kinds! I used to do a lot of complicated calligraphy with bottled ink and pens, but haven’t done much for a while. It’s just such a mess. But these new pens are amazing! I would love to use them to create beautiful sentiments on cards. I love the new casual fonts that are popular now and I would love to work on a few and use them in my cardmaking! Thanks for a chance to win!
Take care!
Michele
I would use these pens to create beautiful stationery and artwork! I’m always on the hunt for great brush pens and would absolutely love to try these out. The idea of a big flex AND gorgeous colors is SO appealing and exciting!!!
How exciting! Some of us Western Canada Crop Circles gals are getting together this weekend for a scrap retreat (Shar Strachan and Cheryl Ashworth) we most definitely have to listen to this while we scrap!
Can’t wait to try these brushes. First and foremost I would use them to practice, practice, practice. As a lefty, I’m struggling to get the brush to react in a controlled way when switching directions. Of course, I’d also use them in my everyday projects and in my art journal.
hm, i received your newsletter on april 15th. deadline for your mega cool giveaway was april 7th… i little bit difficult to have a chance for it.
anywhere, i would use them to practice and make lovely cards for friends and family and for me.
I am moved by your memories of your mom. As I see on this old picture of your mom her smile and yours are just the same. You looked so happy together! Lucky you! I wish you many many nice memories! Greetings from Poland, where we do pysanky as well 😉 Lusia
I see that you have a book coming out. Yeah!! Will it really not come out until December of this year? Will it include practice worksheets? I cannot afford what would be upper and lower case practice sheets in both small and large brush tips. Any ideas for those that cannot wait until your book comes out for affordable practice sheets?
Hi.. great video! Can you tell us how you store your Tombow markers? I threw the original stand away as I was always frustrated with trying to get the markers in straight. Mine are now in a pencil case and it works pretty well, but would really like something that stands up.. ideas? Thanks!
Thank you for sharing about your Mom! I love the photo of you two. She reminds me of my mom (who will be 83 next month). She was also the one to get me into crafting … when I was about 21.
Hope you had a wonderful Mother’s Day with your children. 🙂
Kelly, I know this is late, but I just found you recently upon purchasing my ScanNCut2. I am touched by the story of your Daughter especially because of two reasons: My Nephew’s only son was born in Aug. 2014 and he was totally deaf. He now has two cochlear implants but his life is not going to be normal as he also has sight problems. The other reason is that our Daughter Amy, born in 1996 was diagnosed with Anorexia on 20th Aug. 2014. She is still struggling very much and very far from recovery. The pain is beyond description. I find craft is my way of escape at times. Love and hugs,
Anita
I have only been able to purchase these. These are the best for learning calligraphy! I’m really glad I got my hands on these and I will be planning on buying more!
Hi Mariana, all my worksheet sets are digital downloads that you print yourself. Nothing is shipped. People from all over the world can use them to learn!
Your cards are beautiful! I have been wanting to make some watercolor cards so it was perfect that I came across your blog. I was wondering about using the markers on watercolor paper for lettering. Does it work ok or do you use other paper for your cards?
Heidi, I use very smooth hot press watercolor paper for cards OR smooth Bristol paper because rough paper and regular watercolour paper will damage the brush tips with friction.
Oh wow, Kelly!!! Gorgeous items and amazing gift ideas! So love each and every one of these artisans and their creations! Thank you so much for sharing with us! <3
Oh my! So hard to choose! They all are so talented and make gorgeous things. If I was to choose, I think I would love that “sisters” bracelets for my and my sisters.
Thanks Kelly for great handmade gift ideas! That is the best kind to give and get. There is one thing I love more than pens and art supplies and that is jewelry! But because I just ordered a bracelet from Ashley last week I think I will go with the True Leaf bag, that I would love to win ?. I will definitely be adding these creative women to my places to shop!
These are all gorgeous! I absolutely love handmade items. They are so much more special to know that someone worked so hard to create that beautiful piece. I would LOVE to win a Clair Ashley bracelet! They are definitely my style!
Thanks for spotlighting all these fabulous artists. I’m always on the lookout for quality handmade products. I must say Ashley’s bags are my faves since bags in general are my guilty pleasure…
I love the Christmas Eve tradition our little family has. Being an American expat in Sydney, Australia, I have to find special ways to make a blistering summer feel magical and christmasy…so we make s’mores, roasted marshmallows and all, and each choose one present to open from under the tree. 🙂 And it is magical! Xx
I have Two favourite Christmas traditions, I can’t choose between them. The first one is that the day before Christmas we all together decorate the Christmas tree, and the second one is that I’ll be making Christmas candy I love being crafty with food!
My favourite tradition is eat “roscon de Reyes” with hot hot chocolate in my mama’s house. Love the flavour and it’s only available on January the 5th-6th to celebrate that three wise men are coming to to town!
Christmas is the most wonderful time of the year!! During December we decorate the whole flat and spend so much time wrapping gifts and writing christmas cards, I love making gifts more than receiving them! <- best tradition!
This pens are soo great by the way!!
My favourite Christmas tradition would be watching heaps of old Christmas movies with my son on Christmas eve and choosing one present to open and enjoy together. I will miss this, this year as I am in hospital having intense Chemotherapy to fight Cancer. I have tried to write all my Christmas cards with brush lettering this year which might just be a new tradition as it was super fun!
I can’t find where to comment. My favorite Xmas tradition is on Christmas Eve. After all the eating, games, and music we begun to open our presents at 10pm to be done by midnight p. At midnight we hug each other. The next day we just wake up late. ?
Each year on Christmas Eve, my family and I go over to my grandparents house for a family dinner. I love spending time with them and baking Christmas cookies.
Ensuring I watch the faces as my loved ones open the gifts I have spent the time to buy, make or create for. It is never a “free-for-all”. I don’t want to miss a moment!!
My favorite Christmas tradition is the one my husband and I are creating by experiencing it in another country! Normally, my favorite tradition is opening gifts Christmas morning with my parents and hubs in my Mom’s neck of the woods. So excited for new traditions!
Making Christmas cookies with my grandma! As a kid I would sit on her table and have fun making the icing and a mess of course! Now that I’m older and she’s passed on I make cookies with my fiancé, friends and my goddaughter!
Favorite Tradition: cooking and baking with my mom on Christmas Eve, then our entire family crammed onto the couch watching “how the Grinch stole Christmas”(the one with Jim Carrey) followed by “a Christmas Story.” Our all time favorite Christmas movies. 🙂
Our family has a Santa Claus Party every year. We started in 1972 and the tradition continues. Santa brings all of the kids a gift, we tell stories, and we enjoy looking at our Christmas stockings. To date, we have 41 and each on is special.
After coming back from Church my family and I open one present on Christmas Eve before going to bed. It’s alwqys fun planning out which present everyone gets to open!
I love how we spend Christmas Eve with my husband’s family. There are 12 grandkids, and LOTS of adults. We all have a blast and look forward to it every year!
My favorite holiday tradition with my husband is to take out our mattress and move into the living room and basically have a slumber party re-watching Dr. Who episodes and gearing up for the Dr Who Christmas special :D.
My favorite Christmas tradition… Hmm hard to pick which one. We had one for a period of time which was all the cousins got together at a local bar on Christmas eve to catch up. Then afterwards we’d go to the Christmas eve service at church. Now we’re all spread across the country so I miss this tradition
Favorite Christmas tradition is dress up with my family all in matching Christmas pajamas while we have breakfast and open presents! We always take a photo which is used for the next years Christmas cards 🙂
My three are still little but our fav tradition is putting reindeer ‘food’ out on Christmas Eve so they will have something to nibble on while Santa raids the plate of cookies inside. My kids love making it and putting it out on the grass. ♥️??
My favorite Christmas tradition is driving around looking at all the lights! Hoping on those nights there is a light snow fall to create a winter wonder land!
My favorite tradition is definitely decorating with my sister! We always put up the lights outside our house on Black Friday while listening to Christmas music.
My favorite tradition handed down only 2 generations but so much fun and love put into it every year… Personal, not personalized but specific, hunted for ornaments for each of my kids! That way when they move out they have a treasure box of growing up ornaments that represent something special about their childhood! One example…my youngest was only a few months old when the movie Happy Feet came out, by the age of 16 months he couldn’t get enough of it so for his 2nd Christmas I found him a dancing Mumble…to this day age 11 it is one of his faves and it represents so much of who he is…
Every year, since I was a child, we have always dressed up and gone to my grandma’s house on Christmas Eve. We would spend time with family, eat amazing food, and open a few presents early. I was (and still am) always in charge of passing out the presents. We would drive around and look at all the beautiful Christmas lights and decorations. When we would get home (to my parents house) that night, we would leave out cookies and milk for santa. Christmas morning, I make cinnamon rolls and hot chocolate with my mom and we open presents in our pjs. Then we have a nice relaxing day spending time with all our family.
This year is extra special because I am bringing my fiancé home to celebrate with us. It is the first year him and I get to celebrate together and the first year I can share my childhood memories with him. I’m so excited.
Waking up to open stockings and presents. We make a big breakfast as a family, then spend the day watching Christmas movies and preparing Christmas dinner. After dinner, we sit down and watch White Christmas as a family, aka the best Christmas movie. Lots and lots of family time!
Our favorite Christmas tradition is having hot chocolate with candy canes (stirring and swirling as the candy melts). Looking forward to continuing the tradition with our first grandchild that’s on the way! Congratulations on your new line of products – what a wonderful opportunity!!
I definitely enjoy Christmas Eve since we have a tradition of giving each other a small gift as well as popping some Christmas crackers. Our big gifts are saved for Christmas day, but Christmas Eve is when we all gather together, have Christmas music playing,and play Christmas trivia games or treasure hunts!
Waking up Christmas morning and having breakfast with my hubby, then waiting for the kids and grand kids to come over and spend quality time with them. Then I cook a big Christmas ham with all the fixins and we eat then watch movies.
Mine is having my babies open one gift on Christmas Eve. It’s always new jammies and they’ve caught on now that they’re older but still go along with it, LOL!! 🙂
– April W
As my children grew to adulthood I struggled to find a way to keep the child in them alive. For the last 5 or so years we each don a Santa hat while I set up my tripod and set the camera timer to continuous shoot. Initially I thought this would be a nice way to document each Christmas as the years flew by. What I didn’t expect was that my kids (ages 30 and 33) still have quite a bit of the child they used to be inside! They always find a way with their antics to make each “photo shoot” special. It’s a day full of laughter and shenanigans that we look forward to every year!
Mine is enjoying time spending with my family and dearest people. Moreover, the cold of winter is also a special tradition for me, all i want to is sleeping and not caring anything
Hi Kelly, one of our favorite traditions growing up was all decorating the tree together with Christmas music on. Now that I have two children of my own we did it this year with them, both of them are toddlers. I’m understanding how hard my mom and dad worked to make it seem so effortless and magical every year!
Hi! I’m following you and your art from Argentina! My favourite Christmas tradition consists on dressing up as Santa just to see my nephews’ face sparkling with joy and excitement. Love seeing their faces full of admiration year after year.
My favourite Christmas tradition is putting the outdoor Christmas lights up with my father the day after Thanksgiving. We get all of the lights up and then count down to plug it in once its dark and watch all the decorations and lights come to life. Christmas lights and decorations are my favourite part of the holiday because they make my home feel extra cozy, inviting and pretty.
Cara Rosalie’s watercolor botanicals are so gorgeous!! I am in awe of her talent, and how wonderful of you -Kelly – to help showcase other artists and makers – such a great way to build community!!
My favorite tradition is opening Christmas pajamas on Christmas Eve. My parents did it when I was young and I do it with my kids. I hope my kids choose to continue this when they have kids of their own.
My favorite tradition is making Polish pierogies from scratch with my daughters and husband. Using my grandmas receipe, passing the tradition down so my daughters will continue with their children.
Kelly, I am so thrilled for you!!! These pens look like a true dream. Our family hangs stockings for Santa to fill in the middle of the night. Also curried fruit and homemade cinnamon rolls for breakfast. Congratulations!
On Christmas Eve, my husband, daughter and I all get in our new Christmas pajamas, make hot cocoa and popcorn and snuggle together on the couch to watch The Polar Express. Then off to bed the little one goes until Santa comes!
My kids are little (6 & 2), so we are still establishing our holiday traditions. My favorite thing, though, is being at home on Christmas morning, seeing the excitement on their faces as they get to open presents.
My favorite tradition is making recipes with my kids that my grandma made with me like pfeffernusse. And Christmas lights and hot chocolate with my family.
I love setting up my Nativity set that was my parents and I always set it up every Christmas and now I have it and my daughter and I set it up together
Each year, my parents let me and each of my brothers pick out an ornament. Their hope is that we’ll all build up an ornament collection to take with us when we move out!
My favorite Christmas tradition is spending time with my family and having a Christmas party, playing games, watching movies, and eating snacks. Then getting up early Christmas morning and making breakfast while the kids open their gifts.
My favorite Christmas tradition is that every year I love doing the wrapping so much that my loved ones always save their wrapping just for me. And this year I started practicing brush lettering for the name tags. I feel like it will become an added tradition
My favorite tradition is watching “It’s a Wonderful Life” with my boys on Christmas Eve afternoon, and then going to our candlelight service at our church afterwards.
Some of my favorite Christmas traditions are to decorate house and the tree as well as driving around looking at the decorative lights. Also this was one of the major holidays my family would get together have a big dinner, okay games and just spend time with each other
We have a Jesus Cake every year. I have baked the same cake for 32 years. The manger with Baby Jesus from our Nativity is our topper. We gather around and sing Happy Birthday to Jesus! Many friends and family have gathered around to sing with us through the year. Now my niece bakes her own Jesus cake for her sweet family! The tradition lives on!
MY favourite chrismtas tradition: each year my mom would take me and my sister to the store to pick out an ornament for the tree. It’s really cool looking back and seeing what we were into each year (one year I got a crayon ornament because I loved colouring, one year I bought a grinch ornament cuz it was my favourite movie etc) and I actually carry on this tradition with my 4 year old son now!
We love to drink (more like sip) some of our homemade Coquito (Puerto Rican eggnog) while we open presents. Yes, the kids drink some, but theirs is rum-free.
My mom passed away 18 years ago and she loved Christmas. On the first weekend of December, we decorate the house, listening to Boney M Christmas, just like my mom did. My kids and I also bake many of my family’s favorites from when I was growing up.
I didn’t grow up with Christmas traditions because I am Jewish, but I married a Christian, so we now do both Christmas and Hanukkah. I love having a Christmas tree and my collection of menorahs in the same room, they are beautiful together. ☺
As a young family we pick out our yearly Christmas ornament together. We also go nuts decorating our house with Christmas lights and decorations, then go for a drive looking at the neighborhood lights.
My favorite tradition is driving 7hrs to the country side to visit my family, and having an international Christmas dinner plus going to mass and putting the baby Jesus in the manger, I have to admit it makes me melancholic this tradition because I remember when I was a little girl, but it makes me happy to enjoy one more holiday
My favorite tradition is spending the day before baking away with my daughter while listening (and by that I mean singing, and sometimes dancing, along) to our favorite Christmas music!
Our family now that we’re older instead of gifts for everyone we do a big drive for the Salvation Army. We gather coloring books and crayons for the kiddos, hats,gloves, scarves, socks,hot hands and coats that we donate to the families staying there over the holidays. We go caroling and come home and eat a big deal together. I love it way more than the days of gift exchange. Ü
I am a Hindu but enjoy celebrating Christmas.Every Christmas, my family and I go to shopping malls and 5star hotel lobbies and admire the Christmas decorations. We also vote for which one was the best!
My favourite Christmas tradition has always been participating in carol singing. People from different parish communities of the church come together and visit all the communities singing carols and distributing goodies to the children.
My favorite tradition is playing Christmas carols at our family’s Christmas shindig. My grandpa on guitar, brother on drums, myself on piano, and everyone else singing/clapping along. It’s the best!
My favourite Christmas tradition is playing charades with my husband’s side of the family, and Trivial Pursuit with my side of the family. My 9 year old daughter won the Trivial Pursuit challenge last year with her new Harry Potter Trivia set, beating her Mom and Grandpa!
My favorite Christmas tradition is making dinner with my family and then sitting at the table having conversations about our year since a new year is around the corner. We also usually go to church all together after dinner, which is something very special to me.
In my culture is very common doing “parrandas” kind of like corolling but has a lot of beats is common to go to houses at midnight to bring joy because that is the definition of Christmas for us. Also love the get together with all my family.
First we drive around with hot chocolate looking at the lights, a when we get home we open one gift (which is always a new set of pj’s) and have a movie campout with the kids. ❤️
Opening presents with my momma the moment “Santa comes” (12:01 am). Now that I am married and living about 10 minutes away, I put my jammies on and driving to her house every Christmas Eve to open presents at midnight
My favourite Christmas tradition is also the one that has me wishing I didn’t do it every year LOL! When my kids were small, my Mom started making donuts for Christmas… Mom passed away in 2010 and I couldn’t imagine letting the tradition end, so I dutifully make 15 dozen donuts every December (just made them yesterday)
Being from a very small town in western Kansas, our wheat was stored in tall, grain elevators. They have a red, blinking light at the top. On our way to my grandma’s for Christmas dinner, my dad always said that was Rudolph.
My favorite Christmas tradition is spending the whole day surrounded by family. Playing games and not feeling stressed. Watching my children’s eyes light up is absolutely amazing!
My 2 best friends and I come together at my house and spend the day Christmas baking and catching up. One lives across Canada, so its nice to see her. Soon our daughters will be old enough to bake with us.
My favorite family tradition is going out to eat on Christmas Eve, then having the family gather at my house or my sisters ( we alternate years!) and open presents. We open one gift at a time and usually each gift has a story that goes with it. It takes hours to open all the gifts, but I enjoy every minute of it!!
My favorite Christmas tradition is making homemade ravioli, meatballs and Italian wedding soup. We have done it for as long as I can remember using my mom moms recipe. But for health reasons I now have to have my own special gluten free versions. But the memories are always there <<<-
My favorite christmas tradition is putting up the tree and decorating it with hubby!
Also enjoying “Nochebuena” with the family, which is the evening of the 24th.
Christmas Eve pajamas. My brother and I always got to open one present on Christmas Eve. It was always new pajamas. I continued this tradition with my daughter, then added my son in law, and now my grandson.
Christmas music and lights and spirit of the season in general Has it’s magic to it…everything lightens up internally and externally during this time of the year.
????
My favourite tradition is our community Christmas party. We have a potluck supper,we sing carols, and Santa Claus comes to give candy bags and small gifts to the children, big and small!
My favorite tradition is taking my kids picture on the steps in their pjs before they see their gifts. Looking back at these pictures over the years is priceless. Even though my kids are now in their 20’s, they still ask to have the step picture taken.
I absolutely love sitting down in front of a fire on Christmas Eve with my little family reading ‘Twas the Night Before Christmas. Our tree is lit as well as the lights decorating our house. This will be my daughters second Christmas so knowing that there are many traditions and memories we will make just melts my heart ♥️
Your collection and knowledge and ability are mesmerizing! I could watch you write for hours! Congrats on your sa collaboration!
Spending Christmas Eve at my aunt’s house, eating tamales, drinking Mexican hot chocolate, spending time with the family and getting to open one special present, usually from my grandmother. I cherish these memories as my grandmother passed away the week before thanksgiving.
Love getting together on Christmas Eve and going to church with my family then going back to my parents to play games and of course…eat all the yummy Christmas baking! 🙂
I love spending time with my family. We usually watch old films of times past. Most family members have gone on to a better place. Love reminiscing and sharing with my family!!
My favorite holiday tradition is playing Mrs. Claus to my husband’s Santa. Especially on Christmas Eve at walk through lights in our small community. The family who display the lights accepts donations and then buys toys for the local children’s hospital.
Every year on Christmas Eve my family all pile in the car to ride around looking at Christmas lights. Then when we get home we fix hot chocolate and each open one gift. We did the same thing when I was a kid so it’s great to carry on the tradition with my kids.
Every year my brother and I get to pick out a new ornament at the store to put on the tree, so when we move out we already have ornaments to put on our tree ??
Now that I’m retired, I’m blessed to be able to go visit my son’s family out of state. It’s fun to spend time with my young grandchildren and watch them open their presents o very early in the morning. Then we have brunch.
My favorite Christmas tradition:opening one gift on Christmas Eve…it’s always pajamas, but I’m excited about them each year. Another tradition which has become a favorite memory as well is getting a scratch off in my stocking from my mom!
Enjoying the excitement of my kids and making Dutch Babies for breakfast (the kids called them egg frisbees). Now I get to do that all over again with the grandkids.
Delete if it has saved twice, I can’t see it… stupid internet ?.
My favorite Christmas tradition is baking with my mom and my sister, more often than not with just my mom since we live closer. It’s a time of laughter and tears and fun bonding time. I will treasure these memories forever. ?❤️
Spending Christmas Eve with my family where we still make our traditional Italian wedding soup for dinner then go to mass together. Once we are home it’s new Christmas pajamas and reading T’was the Night Before Christmas from my original childhood book! ?
My favorite Christmas tradition was putting up the nativity scene and changing the days on the sweet little fabric advent calendar we had. It had a little fabric mouse you move from day to day! My sister actually bought me the same one last year and now it is a tradition i do With my family!!
Thanks for this wonderful chance to win!
Christmas was always a hard time of the year for my family growing up so we didn’t make any traditions that stood the test of time. However we started a tradition recently of working on a puzzle together and it’s a tradition I look forward to sticking to, especially as us siblings get married and have children and grow our puzzle team bigger!
My absolute favourite Christmas tradition growing up was being able to open up one present on Christmas Eve, which was always our Christmas jammies that we would wear that night. And of course spending time my family while enjoying the best meal of the year !
Every year since the year I moved away for college, my parents wait to out the ornaon the tree until I come home. No matter how late the night is,it always makes us smile.
Eating tamales with my huge family on Christmas Eve. We will be without my Grandma for the first time this year so we know we have to keep this tradition alive to honor her.
My favorite Christmas Tradition is yet to come to fruition. It’s a goal for my little family at Christmas. After 10 years I think this year will be the first time it happens. I am thankful and blessed to have my family. Excited to see how it goes.
My favorite Christmas tradition, at least, for myself, is re-reading the Christmas books from the Geronimo Stilton series I loved when I was younger. I don’t know why. I just really like doing that every Christmas. It brings back memories, y’know? ???
There is a family in my small hometown who has always decorated just about every inch of their yard for Christmas. Each year on Christmas Eve, there is a steady line of cars to go see their lights! It was my favorite tradition as a child, and now it’s my favorite tradition as an adult, to take my kids to see the “Galea’s Christmas lights” on Christmas Eve!
My favorite Christmas tradition was attending Christmas Eve service with my nan every year. I miss it so much and so I am carrying it on with my kids and someday my grandchildren.
One of my favorite Christmas traditions is going to the mall to see Santa… With a small budget and continuing growing little kids we don’t go shopping at the mall often (our shopping is mostly done at wal-mart lol) so going to the mall and seeing all the decorations is one of my favorites.. it’s always so frustrating standing in line, and bribing the kids to sit on Santa’s lap just for a quick picture, but I sure do look forward to it… We always get blizzards from DQ on the way home and drive around to see all the houses done up too!! Thank you for the chance to win your awesome products.. can’t wait to get some of my own!!
Our family always has a movie night to watch “White Christmas.” It started before my husband and I even had kids and after all these years (25+) we know the songs and punch lines and I still get teary in a couple places. 4-part harmony, “Snow, snow, snow, snowwwwww!”
My favorite Christmas tradition is baking Christmas cookies with my family and driving around listening to Christmas music and looking at all the lights
I love decorating the tree as a family and enjoying all the memories the ornaments bring! (I am also very excited about this new line of brush lettering supplies!)
We live in Hong Kong and we go to hotel Christmas buffets every year for past 30 years! We also put up our tree way back in November and all we listen to in the car is Christmas songs hahahaha. Many congrats for your new line of pens!! They really are a dream come true!!
My dad and his 8 brothers were all musicians and had their own singing group. Back in the 1950’s they recorded an album of standard Christmas carols. We listen to it every Christmas season. It’s how I learned all the carols. Sadly they’ve all passed away. But their music is always with us!
For my daughter and I, the Renegade Craft Fair in Austin kicks off the holiday season. Opening one present on Christmas Eve is a tradition carried over form when I was a kid.
We always go looking at the different houses decorations. Some people go all out with the whole house decorated flashing with coordinated songs. They usually collect for a needy cause and it’s always a festive spirit.
My favorite tradition is pretty new to my boyfriend and me. We hide the presents in our apartmemt where they would be stored. For example, if I got him a new video game, I would put it in his stack of video games for him to find. It adds an extra level of suspense, and it’s awesome to hunt and try to find them. We have so much fun on our Christmas scavenger hunt!
I always enjoyed the Christmas Eve one gift tradition my family did. I like doing it with my kids, and I can never wait to give people the gifts I got them so I usually give my family their gifts on Christmas Eve as well. I just love seeing their faces.
On Christmas morning before we eat breakfast or open presents we sit down together in front of the Christmas tree/fireplace and read the Christmas story together out of the Bible. Then we would say a prayer of thanks and open presents. 🙂
My favorite Christmas tradition is a tradition we started recently where we as a family travel somewhere for Christmas. Last year we went to San Diego, and the year before that New York.
My favorite tradition is decorate all the house with my mom and sister.
I like the baking maraton too 🙂 in which i make all the pays and cakes that we eat on christmas and new year.
My mom put christmas music and i bake while she makes dinner
My favourite Christmas tradition with my family would be sitting together and having a great dinner! We would also play our favourite Christmas songs, one being “Last Christmas”!
My favorite Christmas tradition is by far how my family celebrates Christmas Day. My grandma has 4 sisters, they all have kids, and now their kids, kids are having kids. There are about 80 of us that get together on Christmas and laugh so hard and eat amazing food. One of the older cousins even dresses up like Santa and hands out gifts to the younger cousins! I think it might be my turn this year to be Santa! ?
My Christmas tradition is believing that something magical is about to happen. I always believed in Santa, and so I always have magical events in my life on Christmas Eve.
Our family’s Christmas tradition is to have a family slumber party! We gather on Christmas Eve, eat, play games, and enjoy one another. On Christmas morning, the women cook Christmas brunch and the men clean up once we’ve all had enough to eat!!
My favorite Christmas tradition is decorating the tree with my family. For the first time this year, I got to do it in my appartment with my boyfriend since we now live together ❤️
Saving up my vacation time all year and having the holidays off with my son! Hope to start a new tradition by writing on my Christmas cards with your pens!
I have a Swedish Tea Ring coffeecake recipe I have been making since I was a kid – I’m almost 60!!! And of course, spending time with family & friends.
Every year my mom and i make sand tart Christmas cookies, an old recipe we’ve had from my grandmother from when my mom was a kid. We make around 50 cookies and give them out to all our friends and family! We also always do a white elephant with my whole family and watch A Christmas Story!
Our Christmas family tradition is that at midnight we have a baby jesus and we sing welcoming songs and pass him around for everyone to give ‘em a welcoming kiss, basically celebrating his birthday!
We keep a family journal that we write in once a year on Christmas. Everyone who attends our big family celebration contributes, even the little one who draw or scribble. The one rule is we like everyone to at least sign in, and then they can write about thoughts, prayers, milestones, losses, thoughts…anything at all.
My favorite tradition is one my husband and I are starting this year with our boys (ages 2.5 years and 5weeks) of making a birthday cake for Jesus! Excited for this jew tradition. I am also excited for your new line. If I don’t win I’ll have to put these on my Christmas list.
It’s really hard to pick just one. But I would have to say my favorite Christmas tradition is putting up the Christmas tree. Our tree was never themed or a certain color scheme. We always had a hodgepodge themed tree, so it was always fun pulling ornaments out of the Christmas box. I love the feeling you get when unwrapping each ornament one by one. That nostalgic feeling is the best!
My favorite Christmas tradition is attending a 9-day series of evening/dawn masses or what we call “simbang gabi” before the actual Christmas day. And after, eating with my family some puto bumbong and bibingka, a Filipino food that usually seen or being sold during Christmas season ❤️
As a muslim, I don’t celebrate Christmas personally, but it’s important for people to acknowledge and understand that everyone has a different background and lifestyle hence why there are some Muslims who celebrate Christmas and some who don’t. Whether a Muslim celebrates Christmas or not doesn’t really bother me – I’m too worried about my own life!
On Christmas holidays, I don’t really do anything. It’s not too different to a normal day. If anything, we either see family or make the most of the classic Christmas movies that come on TV! I speak on behalf of many when I say that it’s not only frustrating but also upsetting when people make an assumption that I’ll be against a festive holiday because of my own beliefs. Christmas is a wonderful time of the year – decorations lace neighbourhoods and cities, and the cold weather in conjunction with the warm spirit of people who have come together to celebrate is such a beautiful thing to witness.
Although I don’t celebrate Christmas, I still love the atmosphere and appreciate it. Especially on the gifts exchange part and dinner gatherings among my close friends who celebrate Christmas.
Every year me, my mom, and my sister-in-law get together and bake cookies, goodies, and treats, then we pass them out to neighbors and friends. It’s my favorite time of year!
We have many traditions I love including hunting and chopping the perfect tree, dated ornaments every year, making and frosting cookies. My favorite though was always photos with Santa. It is tougher to maintain them now that my children are married but we now have a new granddaughter so we can start new traditions.
My favourite Christmas tradition it’s put all the stuff of christmas with my mom and my dad, i love christmas time. And when it’s the day I love spend time with all my family, it’s a special time for me opening the presents the night of the 24th bc I’m from Argentina and we dont wait to the next day to open the presents, we open them at 00:00
My family always went to listen to my dad play trumpet in his brass choir at midnight mass (even though we weren’t Catholic ☺️). I loved getting dressed up and getting to stay out so late. We also got to open one gift each that night which made it that much more special!
My grandma is Norwegian and absolutely loves lefse. She taught all of my siblings how to make it and now every year we make abou one hundred for thanksgiving and Christmas! It is such a fun, tasty, and exciting tradition!
My favorite tradition is watching as many Christmas movies as possible during the season with my 2 kids. And decorating our Christmas tree while playing Christmas music!!!
My favorite tradition – we all go to mom’s house Christmas morning. The kids are excited and tell what Santa got them and the parents are all exhausted from being up all night! But it’s perfect!
We have many- to keep Christ in Christmas. The one that made the day easy was the kids received three gifts each at home. Representing gold, frankincense and myrrh.
My favorite Christmas tradition is the Christmas morning breakfast. Everyone gathers in the kitchen to help make pigs-in-a-blanket, monkey bread, and breakfast casserole. It is great to have all the help in the kitchen.
My family always goes over to my aunts on Christmas Eve to celebrate with my dad’s family, celebrates with just the imeadiate family christmas day, and then the sunday after christmas with my mom’s family. It makes it extra special to be able to draw the holiday cheer out for a week and see all the family too.
I love our annual family Christmas Party! Something our parents started and we have continued the tradition with our kids. So much fun and memories made.
The Christmas tradition we have is staying up until midnight then opening our presents! Love the whole line! Can’t wait to try it all out! Congrats Kelly!
I’m from Philippines but i’m working in Japan for 3years. My husband is also working here in Japan for more than 10years. We have a daughter and She’s in Philippines right now. I left her when she was 6months old and went back here in Japan for work. Now this Christmas season, I and my husband will be going home in the Philippines for a very long time because we want to celebrate Christmas with our family especially with our daughter. The feeling of celebrating Christmas here in Japan is different when we’re in the Philippines. Our hearts and happiness will always be in our homecountry most especially when celebrating Christmas season. And we’re very excited to go home very soon. ?
Our whole family dresses in our pjs on Christmas Eve and watches national lampoons Christmas vacation. Then Christmas is filled with tons of food and feasting ?
I love the family togetherness and the memories made that last forever .
I taught calligraphy to my art students and now I am learning again for myself. What
a treat. So doing my own cards with this new writing is great.
My favorite tradition is reading a story every night with my family and the doing an activity together. I love that we slow down and get really intentional about our time together. I’m excited about your new products! Congratulations!
One favourite tradition is Snickerdoodles! These are a favourite cookie among family and friends and I bake dozens and dozens of them every year as they never last long and everyone asks for them.
Write and send the christmas cards to family and friends is the first traditionand the must for me on this season. When you wish hapiness and blessings to others sincerely, that is Xmas
Every Christmas Eve our family plays games to win our Christmas pajamas! Even as a kid this was more fun than Christmas morning! So many laughs and memories from these days. Now that my daughter is here, I am so excited to continue this tradition for her!
My favorite Christmas tradition is picking a new ornament with my children each year. We mark the year and their initials on each ornament. Our plan is to take these ornaments and give them to each of our children when they have their first Christmas tree in their own home.
Each year Our family chooses a country to celebrate its Christmas Eve. We research their foods, decorations, and traditions. We find music, stories ornaments, and of course make a meal.
I love driving around all of the suburbs of Adelaide on Christmas eve checking out all of the stunning Christmas lights and displays at peoples homes. Some people have their whole garden covered in lights and displays, while others have fewer lights but still alot of effort had gone into them. I try to leave a little money where we stop to help them pay for their display. Some streets have every house lit up like Christmas Tree, lol. It’s great to park the car, get out and talk to these people and spread a little Christmas cheer. Thanks for a fabulous giveaway.
First, congrats on the line! Very exciting! Second, my favorite tradition is our family movie night. We make all our favorite snacks and watch a few movies.
My favorite Christmas tradition is Christmas Day, opening presents at home with my immediate family, going to my uncle’s house for Christmas dinner, opening presents all together with them, and then finally playing board games together till late at night.
My favorite family Christmas tradition is watching the classic kids Christmas specials with my family… Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer, The Year Without a Santa Claus and Frosty the Snowman.
Thank you Kelly for putting together such a great collection! Happy Holidays!
My favorite tradition was holding a Christmas Eve party with friends and family. We would play games and Santa always showed up with a small gift for all the children.
I grew up with four siblings, and every year we would gather around the table with supplies all around, and create Christmas cards for our grandparents, long before the days of stickers and glue sticks! We were in Hawaii and they were on the east coast, so had a long way to go!
I think one of my favorite traditions is spending the day after Thanksgiving in our pajamas, listening to Christmas music while we decorate and then lounging around watching Christmas movies. ?
My favorite Christmas tradition is decorating the tree with my mother. We have many antique Christmas ornaments that she cherishes. My father always buys the biggest tree he can fit in the house, and then we decorate the tree with ornaments passed down through generations. The ornaments are delicate and don’t sparkle the way they used to, but they hold so much love and history.
As an expatriate here in Dubai and I see to it to spend Christmas with my parents; one of the Christmas tradition I love is that Family reunions/get together, where from the grandparents upto the youngest grandchild are present and we are all able to catch up what is going on our careers, families, life and etc. and another tradition I love is the midnight meal we call it noche buena in the Philippines. And of course the 9 nights of Church mass before Christmas is a big part of our Christmas tradition which again families are gathered to go to church and hear mass for 9 nights. Last but not the least, the exchange gift.
I love your new line!!!!
My favorite Christmas tradition is cooking the Christmas dinner alongside my family members. From smoking a turkey to making the sweet potato pies the way my mom does. It is also a time where we pass down the “family secrets” on how to cook like my parents. But most of all it is the joy of being with family and sharing the love, memories, and laughter.❤️
My favorite Christmas tradition is going to the Christmas Eve service at my church and at the end we all sign Silent Night with the lights off all holding lit candles. It’s one of the prettiest things I’ve seen and will forever be my favorite tradition!
My favorite tradition on Christmas is that the day of Christmas Eve we play a game all the family together, is really fun and fantastic to be together.
My favorite traditions are with my husbands family, since we don’t have children yet. Every Christmas Eve, we have a big lobster feast and drink egg nog by the fireplace. We then go to a midnight candlelight service. On Christmas Day, we get up early to make Churros and Bacon for Breakfast before opening presents! It’s the best!
Celebrating Three Kings Day with my children. Something I did as a child growing up in Puerto Rico and now I’m teaching this to our kids as part of our culture’s Vhristmas celebrations.
Another tradition I like is doing the White Elephant gift exchange with my friends. We started out as around 10 people and this year will be around 20-25 of us
A tradition that I have had since my children were small is to see that they receive a Xmas stocking of chocolates. They are now 43, 40 and 38. The tradition continues with their children, my 7 gorgeous grandchildren. Love the special time that Xmas brings.
I have many favorite Christmas traditions. My favorite is to go to church on Christmas Eve with our children and grandchildren then have homemade pizza at our daughter’s home. I also give our grandchildren a gift to open with Christmas pajamas, hot chocolate, and a special Christmas book!
Spending time with family but our new one is giving our girls a new pair of Pyjamas on Christmas Eve and then Hanging out in them for much of the next day. Congratulations on your new line!!
My favorite Christmas tradition is an odd one but my family likes to watch the musical Oklahoma when we decorate the Christmas tree. I get to hang my favorite decorations as we reminisce about the memories that each ornament brings back. It’s quality family time around the holidays even if the movie isn’t festive itself it doesn’t feel like Christmas until we’ve watched it 🙂
Too many traditions to choose a favorite! Every year though we pick family names then everyone gets $1 to go to the dollar store and pick something out for them. It seems silly but the little kids pick the most thoughtful gifts! An example being a bottle of vanilla because they overheard my mom saying she ran out. Seriously, so adorable!
My favorite Xmas tradition is going to my parents house Xmas morning to find a note on the tree my dad wrote. He sends us on a wild goose chase to find notes all over the house and yard to find our “big” gift. Even though I usually know the gift and I’m 36 years old. We HAVE to run around or it is just not Christmas! My kids LOVE it!
Our family’s favorite tradition is each of us gets to open one gift on Christmas Eve. We are impatient people and the kids loved being able to play with new toy the night before. Plus, they went to bed easier, that made us and Santa really happy.
My favorite tradition is cooking dinner on Christmas Eve with my husband and kids and now son in law, watch Christmas Vacation and wait until midnight so we can give out gifts one at a time. Taking time for every gift to be appreciated. Our goal is to make one gift so memorable and touching and make at least one person cry with joy.
My favorite tradition is making fig cookies together with all of the family. The recipient has been passed down generations and originated with my ancestors in Sicily!
My Italian American family celebrates the Feast of the Fishes, and I love seeing everyone from my mom all the way down to her great-grandchild gathered together for the evening.
So excited and happy for you Kelly! You are an inspiration to all of us following our dreams 🙂 my favorite Christmas tradition is baking cinnamon rolls and drinking coffee with my mom before everybody else wakes up on Christmas morning <3
My favorite Christmas Tradition since having a family of my own, (beginning 5 years ago), and becoming a wife 7 years ago has to be putting on matching Christmas PJs on Christmas Eve, my children waking up super early in the morning waking my husband and I up to run downstairs and check to see what ‘Santa’ has brought. My son is 4 (soon to be 5 on the 20th) and my daughter is 1 ( 2 in feb), and this is actually the first year where I won’t be putting the gifts under the tree until Christmas Eve night after they fall asleep. I really want this year to be super special for them. I love being able to create my own tradition with my own little family now. Have a Merry Christmas everyone.
Always loved opening one present on Christmas eve. I follow the same tradition with my kids. I’m sure my parents hoped that it would keep me from waking everyone up before the break of dawn to open presents on Christmas morning.
My favorite Christmas tradition is on Christmas morning turning on the tree lights, the family sitting together and one of us reading the Bible passage regarding Jesus’ birth. It brings the day into focus for us.
My favorite tradition is eating a Ukrainian wheat dish called Kutya. My mom makes the best version ever! Congrats on your own line of lettering goodies!
I love decorating our tree each year and listening to the family reminiscing about each ornament, where it came from, what it meant to them, and how the last ornament each year put on the tree is always the Grinch… because he finally found the true meaning of Christmas.
My mother in law hosts each advent Sunday as an evening with family and friends. We light her Christmas pyramid, feast on appetizers and treats, and enjoy each other’s company with Christmas music playing in the background.
Making cookies with my two girls and grandson with Christmas music in the background. Then we make cookie trays to share with our neighbors. Christmas joy!
My favorite Christmas tradition is making the cookies to leave out for Santa. The whole family gets in on the fun, rolling and cutting the dough, then frosting and decorating them.
My favorite Christmas tradition is cooking and baking all the recipes I grew up with handed down from my grandmother, my mother and my aunts for Christmas Eve.
Congratulations on your new line of products. Wishing you much success.
Hello I m from INDIA ….
My favorite traditions about Christmas is family gathering the festival bring family together and by spending time the bond gets stronger
We started a tradition of playing Christmas light bingo while looking at Christmas lights. I think right now it’s starting new traditions with my kids and husband.
My favorite Christmas tradition is spending it with family by playing our favorite card games like Hand and Foot or Up and Down the River! We always have the best of times.
I like to decorate Christmas Tree! It bring me back to my childhood:) when i was waiting for a gift from Santa:) and ate a lot of oranges with candies!
My favorite family Christmas tradition is having the family all together chrismas morning and making a huge breakfast! Listening to the Christmas music with a log on the fire place, it’s all so cozy!
My favorite Christmas tradition is to give some food and toys to the deaf and dumb children and also to give clothes to the needy people. It gives us so much peace and happiness. I love this…
Christmas baking has always been a favourite, with each side of the family having their own traditional baking. I now live away from all of my family, but they still manage to send me Christmas baking
Growing up we always went to Vegas for my grandpa’s birthday on the 23rd. We would spend a few days up there and come home Christmas eve. In the evening we would drive around and look at Christmas lights and when we got home we always had an early Christmas present. It was always a comfy new set of pjs and a new movie on VHS to watch. We got to drink hit cocoa and watch our new movie before going to bed. It will always be one of my favorite memories.
I love putting up the christmas tree as it is usually a team effort and listening to my dad play his christmas carol CD on repeat haha and then just enjoying the time spent with family
My favorite Christmas tradition is decorating the tree. We have collected many ornaments over the years (and on various vacations) and it is like taking a trip down memory lane. Some ornaments may have great stories of how they were acquired, some are just silly gifts from white elephant parties, some from our own childhood, an

Good luck and so glad you’ve got a blog now!!

June 8, 2011 at 12:34 pm (14 years ago)You are so funny… yet I feel bad that you are stressed! This definitely does not make me look forward to the teenage years. And now why I see why you have so little time to scrap. Having teens will keep you busy! Tell him that you have to drink all of his beer because he is underage. LOL Many hugs xoxo
Sandi Smith
June 8, 2011 at 2:12 pm (14 years ago)Good for you Kelly…learn to enjoy and savor that one day a month. It provides you with a little “me time” which we all need from time to time. It will also make your family realize just how much you do for them. Enjoy my friend and soak in that bubble bath until you shrivel up like a prune!
Sandi
Natasha
June 8, 2011 at 2:18 pm (14 years ago)LOL!! You always make me smile. :o) Enjoy the time alone and RELAX!! How lovely it is to not have to cook or clean or be a chauffeur! Read a nice book and take a long bubble bath. xoxo

Pendra
June 9, 2011 at 10:15 am (14 years ago)Oh sweetie your sense of humor is what is gonna keep you going… it seems like the world will end with teenagers right now, but believe it or not there will come a time when you will tell this story and laugh and really think it is funny! It might be when he is a grown man with teenagers of his own and comes to you for advise… and you just laugh!!! I wouldn’t go back for anything but life is short and he will grow up… I know because I now have a teenage grandaughter doing the same things and when her mother (my daughter) calls… I just laugh!
Natasha
June 9, 2011 at 10:51 am (14 years ago)Hahahaha! That is too funny! Where DOES she get it from??? Hmmmmmm… LOL. I was doing the same until I realized that I had YEARS worth of magazines that I never once reread a second time. :o)
Sandra D
June 9, 2011 at 11:48 am (14 years ago)You forgot to mention that she has also inherited your stunning good looks. I love the line “ready to laugh at her own mistakes”. Wonder where she gets that from?

June 11, 2011 at 9:29 pm (14 years ago)You are tooo funny! I will be married for 35 years on June 26th and I think about a month into our marriage I announced that we needed a wife… well this model is starting to breaking down now, so he may seriously be giving that some thought soon! And I love to hear that somebody else starts organizing/cleaning whenever Hoarders comes on, I thought I may be the only anal intentive out here!
Michelle

Sandra D
June 12, 2011 at 4:15 pm (14 years ago)Truer words were never spoken. Every modern woman needs a wife or two. It would be very interesting to hear what your daughter thinks about the 4 wives/1 husband situation.

He looked at me like I was trying to kill her…I’m really surprised he even taught me after that! lol

Honestly, I just want us to make it home alive. . . where I break out the White Zinfandel.

June 19, 2011 at 6:40 pm (14 years ago)Amen! This Father’s Day morning, Bob got a call from Chris (who now lives in an apartment 3 miles away with 2 other “boys”) that his car would not start. Bob went right over and the car started. I’m glad Chris gave his Dad a present yesterday (courtesy of Mom transferring money electronically into his account so he’d have the funds).

June 20, 2011 at 7:04 am (14 years ago)I think Mark Twain also knew that other parents need consolation while waiting for their smart children to get smarter. The photo of your husband and BG is fabulous.
Michelle

June 20, 2011 at 4:06 pm (14 years ago)Oh my word, this is the first (and likely only) time I’ve ever heard the concept of sister wives described in a way that I could thoroughly get behind. Seriously entertaining post – thank you for the much needed chuckle! 🙂
Big hugs,
Jessica
~Melissa~
June 20, 2011 at 4:07 pm (14 years ago)Haha… you’re too funny. I have a 13 year old son who is already too cool for everything. I’m dreading when he turns 16 and I being the genius that I am decided to have 4 children, so I still have to go through it 3 more times…what was I thinking…lol
Darlene S.
June 20, 2011 at 7:48 pm (14 years ago)Haha! How clever of you to think that! Now I want a sister wife! 😉

Cindy Gay
June 28, 2011 at 6:04 pm (14 years ago)Love the layout of your kids. You know the oldest girl looks like you! Great design. Like the chippies. Great photos with the kids heads all tiled in the same direction.

Sandra D
June 30, 2011 at 8:47 am (14 years ago)Oh yes, those long lazy days of summer. You have so aptly captured the ups & downs of having the children out of their regular routine. When you are serving the cocktails, mine is the pretty pink one!

I adore your random.org technology and the generator. I almost spit my coffee onto the computer screen. LOL.

TTYS and enjoy your weekend! xoxo

janine
July 13, 2011 at 12:13 pm (14 years ago)LOL—this story kind of reminds me of one winter when my dad followed footprints in the backyard, only to discover a case of beer buried under the freshly fallen snow. My 16 year old brother was so busted….lol My brother is 50 now but still it’s one of our favorite ‘busted’ memories. I won’t even go into any of mine =)
janine
July 13, 2011 at 12:23 pm (14 years ago)I must be the paranoid one of the group. I always clean a hotel bathroom room before I will even consider stepping one foot in the tub…lol And, I’ll admit this here but nowhere else, I even bring my own towels. I have my own idea of what ‘clean’ is and, even on a vacation (or a business trip), I can’t escape it. I know how much this makes me sound like a germ freak—but honest I’m not–all I need is just one second of thinking how many butts those towels have come in contact with, and I can’t stand it…lol
janine
July 13, 2011 at 12:34 pm (14 years ago)This quote from Mark Twain is so true. I often thought the same kinds of things as I got older. It seems the older I get, the smarter my parents get. I had a (much younger) coworker ask me recently if there was anything I missed about my teenage years. I told him (and that my Dad could verify it) the one thing I missed was knowing everything and having an answer for everything. It seems the older I get, I realize there are days I don’t know jack.
janine
July 13, 2011 at 12:43 pm (14 years ago)I checked out the interview. Your pages are absolutely beautiful!!
janine
July 13, 2011 at 12:46 pm (14 years ago)I just purchased this paper a couple of days ago and went searching online today to check out some projects with this beautiful paper. Google is how I found you =) LOVE what you made!! I also love your blog—your style of writing is fantastic!
janine
July 13, 2011 at 12:57 pm (14 years ago)LOL—love the Photoshop work. I still don’t get the Justin Beiber thing. It’s official, I’m getting old.
janine
July 13, 2011 at 12:58 pm (14 years ago)OMG, I just fainted. This is outstanding!!
Cindy Gay
July 20, 2011 at 1:42 pm (14 years ago)Love it all! (especially the road rage!)
Tasha
July 20, 2011 at 8:41 pm (14 years ago)mmmm… Earl grey with milk and sugar. Just my style! Although I also love my coffee and wine… Have you tried cream of earl grey – it is a loose leaf tea that is fantastic! This was a fun post – hope the trip was good and that I see you soon. 🙂
Micupoftea~
July 21, 2011 at 11:49 pm (14 years ago)Hello, Tea sister!!!!!!! Thanks so much for mentioning me.

You crack me up! and tell Mila , that years ago I lived in a house that was infested with European earwigs…and I too taped them to the walls { not because I was afraid to touch them but just as a form of TORTURE to the little buggars!}heehee. That is one inventive and creative little girl you have there Kelly!

You’re such a treat. Thanks so much for dropping in on me. It gave me the chance to visit you. I’ll be back again.lol
Cindy Gay
July 24, 2011 at 4:41 pm (14 years ago)BOF definitely takes after her Mother! We put crime scene tape of DS1’s door one time. . . he rarely exited the room so it probably took him a while to realize it!
Have a good week and watch out for those mosquitoes!
Paula
July 24, 2011 at 10:21 pm (14 years ago)LOL! I can’t believe that was her choice!! I guess you can’t fault her for having an innovative solution to the problem.
Sharon
July 25, 2011 at 3:06 am (14 years ago)You have the best sense of humor, Kelly! I guess your daughter got it from you!!!!!!!
Sharon
July 25, 2011 at 3:10 am (14 years ago)Thanks so much for the blog award, Kelly!!!!! You are just too sweet! And I love your secrets – I drink coffee, not tea, but I know that I am addicted! Waaaaaaaah!!!!!
Thanks once again, my friend!
Renee VanEpps
July 25, 2011 at 4:19 am (14 years ago)OMG that was a fun post Kelly! The crime scene tape was hilarious! You’ll have to buy her several rolls of Scotch Tape for her stocking this year. Label them… Or make her a little scotch tape cozy 😉 But I have to agree with you… Wouldn’t a fly swatter or spray be easier!!?? Funny child 🙂
Renee VanEpps
July 25, 2011 at 4:25 am (14 years ago)Kelly I’m so surprised and grateful, thank you kind lady for thinking of me!!!!
I know what you mean about the driving! ;)wink wink! I’m really NOT an agressive driver, but I wont sit idly by, letting people “DWS – Drive While Stupid”. I have to gently show them the ways of the road 🙂 LOL. I’m off to try and think of my seven things, I don’t know how easy that will be but I will let ya know! Have a great week Kelly!!! Thanks again

July 25, 2011 at 9:18 am (14 years ago)Funny post Kelly. Smart girl you have there – if line with the crime scene scenerio, she was using the “tape method” to preserve the evidence and also to warn the other mosquitos about what could happen to them.
Izzyb
July 25, 2011 at 5:42 pm (14 years ago)Kelly, I love the way you take the goofiness of kids and shine a light right on it! Your post really made me laugh. You have great comedic timing. Love all the photos that illustrating your points. Wonderfully written. Loved it!
Izzyb
July 25, 2011 at 5:48 pm (14 years ago)You are sweeter than strawberry shortcake, Kelly! Thank you so much. I loved reading your random facts but when I got to #2, I had to think that maybe you could use a little alcohol to make it through the rearing of those kiddos of yours!
Izzyb
July 25, 2011 at 6:01 pm (14 years ago)Your posts make me smile like no other. Brilliant!
Wendy Rasbach
July 26, 2011 at 7:16 am (14 years ago)Kelly, I think you have another calling as an author…the next Erma Bomback, maybe? I’d buy your hilarious accounts of family life! 🙂
scrapbookertink
July 26, 2011 at 8:54 am (14 years ago)Too funny, the solution, buy her her own tape sorted, LOL!
Sharon
July 26, 2011 at 1:11 pm (14 years ago)Kelly, I look to you to start the biggest hair from the 80’s award! We should all post photos from that time and measure who’s was the biggest!!!!! LOL!!!!!
Gabrielle Pollacco
July 26, 2011 at 2:16 pm (14 years ago)Oh my gosh!! ROFL!!!!! That is hilarious Kelly!! Your youngest sounds exactly like mine!! I love that you got pic’s of the whole adventure! I needed a good laugh today,….it’s nice to know that I’m not the only one that struggles with the kiddies off on summer holidays! rofl!! xx
Vaibhav
February 23, 2012 at 3:54 am (13 years ago)Thanks for the ideas. There’s always something new to learn and improve on in this mad internet world. Uptiming is surely something to keep an eye on. mosquito killer
Natasha
July 26, 2011 at 2:27 pm (14 years ago)LOL. You are sooo sweet!!! I can just picture you on the road racing an old lady! Hahahaha! What an image!! Thank you for the award!! xoxo
Pendra
July 27, 2011 at 5:38 am (14 years ago)Kelly you make me laugh every time I visit you! I think you need to have your own online show… think about it a stand up comic on the online stage of the world. We could charge a cover charge and of course I would be your manager… we would be RICH!
Pendra
July 27, 2011 at 5:40 am (14 years ago)I’m telling you… RICH, we could be RICH! FUNNY, FUNNY, NUTS but FUNNY!
Micupoftea~
July 28, 2011 at 12:45 am (14 years ago)What a treat..how fun! So, is that your page you are holding? Is that the scotch tape culprit pictured in the LO? lol~ Glad you got to meet Ingvild.
xoxo
Lee-Anne
July 28, 2011 at 12:55 am (14 years ago)Beautiful layout and happy for you that you could enjoy Ingvild’s layout class. Ingvild is such a nice lady. I was her helper today at our store but unfortunately I couldn’t take the class as I was working in the store today, but I did see the layout that the ladies created and she did give a little demonstration of all her awesome tools. I can’t wait to buy her craft knife and her 5 in 1 distressing tool when they are available for sale. Isn’t it great that we can all have this nice little community who share our passion? It’s always so nice to make new friends. Glad I met you 🙂
Sandi Smith
July 28, 2011 at 3:38 am (14 years ago)Lucky you Kelly….I am sooo jealous!!!! Ingrid is my all time favorite artist.LOVE what you created!
Pendra
July 28, 2011 at 6:18 am (14 years ago)Awwww Kelly I am just green with envy… I just admire Ingrid’s work so much. Her new tools look amazing. Your layout is truly lovely… oh what fun! Thanks for sharing your experience with her and your beautiful layout!
Noor Nahdi

I love the way your layout turned out and I can’t wait to get some of the pictures we took and to post them and my work on my blog! Thanks so much for stopping by my blog and I hope you’ll come visit the Scrapbook Studio if you’re ever in Stoon!
Izzyb
July 30, 2011 at 9:58 am (14 years ago)Oh you lucky ducky! What a gorgeous layout. I love all the new tools you spotlighted and how genius is that ink design? Great pic of you, Kelly.
Sandi Cl~
July 31, 2011 at 7:00 pm (14 years ago)Wow, you lucky girl! I did a Ustream class with her but it must have been awesome to do one in person! Love how your page turned out!
Cindy Gay
August 1, 2011 at 2:45 am (14 years ago)Just too cool! And your layout and daughter are lovely!
Gabrielle Pollacco
August 1, 2011 at 6:41 am (14 years ago)Ohhhh Wow!!!! Your l/o is GORGEOUS Kelly!!! I love love love that iron fence stamp….Im going to have to go on a hunt for it!! How cool to see a pick of you beautiful ladies together!!

Natasha
August 2, 2011 at 3:51 pm (14 years ago)LOL!!!! I don’t know if I should continue reading your blog because you scare the hell out of me with your stories! Is this what I have to look forward to?! LOL. Buy a few more bottles of hair color because it ain’t over yet! LOL
misty
August 2, 2011 at 4:14 pm (14 years ago)Oh my goodness…I’m with Natasha! I don’t think I can handle the teenage years! Funny stuff!
Micupoftea~
August 2, 2011 at 4:25 pm (14 years ago)Ummm, on the one hand this is funny! On the other, he not only puts others at danger he puts himself in danger. In the last 4 years of driving my daughter to high school, I have been rear ended and sideswiped by TEEN drivers near the high school!!! Two different accidents I had to take my car in for repairs.grrr… I am so glad dd has graduated so I can stay away from the HS!!! LOL~ Some 16 yr olds are mature enough to drive, but most are not. Get out the hair color, it is going to be a bumpy ride! xo
Cindy Gay
August 2, 2011 at 6:05 pm (14 years ago)I’d like to say it gets better. . . . . at least you can talk to your on line friends about it!
Renee VanEpps
August 3, 2011 at 4:33 am (14 years ago)HA!!!!!!!!!!!!! OMG .. How could he NOT be looking at anything when shoulder checking???!!!
And the ‘my bad’ for no.2 is hilarious. I am scared that this is my future as well!! hee hee..
Lee-Anne
August 3, 2011 at 12:40 pm (14 years ago)I have two that are now adults and married so I feel for you and know your pain. I still have an 11 year old at home. What was I thinking LOL. Just kidding! I love him dearly, but why can’t they just skip the teen years and go from 10 to 25 instantly? Chin up Kelly.
Ivana Camdzic
August 4, 2011 at 8:51 am (14 years ago)O boy! In a really that’s-just-how-it-goes kind of way, this is just hilarious! It was not that long ago that my lil brother was taking his driver’s test, and I had sworn that if he passed I would become a hermit – for fear of losing my life should I ever be in a 500 foot radius of his ill-operated car…Much to my surprise, when he failed the test TWICE, he somehow changed his outlook on what driving really means. Funny how things just have a way of working themselves out 🙂
scrapbookertink
August 4, 2011 at 11:44 am (14 years ago)Wow, how exciting, your layout is stunning.
scrapbookertink
August 4, 2011 at 11:45 am (14 years ago)LOL, this is too funny, DD is starting in October, god help me!
Sandra D
August 4, 2011 at 12:16 pm (14 years ago)Kelly, you are a brave and patient Mom. My version of Mom’s driving school would have been shut down after the first or second incident. Please remember to give me a call when he is on the road so I can stay home (just kidding).
Chantal Vandenberg
August 4, 2011 at 2:31 pm (14 years ago)Yikes!!! Funny post though! 😀
reneabouquets
August 7, 2011 at 4:41 am (14 years ago)Guess what Kelly? My son is now one of those teenage boys out there driving! Yep, he hit the road 2 days after his birthday that was June 25th. I am so lucky, Draven is the total opposite of what teenagers are supposed to be. He is very responsible and drives better than me. I loved this post-so funny! So many of my friends are going through this so it is very relatable! I found a great hair color that lasts a lot longer than the others, if you would like the name of it-lol!!
Lisa Barrie
August 7, 2011 at 10:22 am (14 years ago)OMG Kelly, I’m sitting here with my 12 year old DD and tears of laughter are rolling down my face. I am seriously dreading this too! I wish you the best of luck and new tires are expensive..just let the air out!
Pendra
August 7, 2011 at 10:45 pm (14 years ago)I went through it with two teenagers years ago and I went completely white haired… now my grandkids are starting to drive… YIKES, I think my hair is actually starting to fall out!!! So quit gripping about hair dye… I gotta go look at wigs! Love ya gal, you keep my heart pumping with all your great humor!
Pendra
Pendra
August 8, 2011 at 12:58 am (14 years ago)Oh Kelly… you are so sweet! I just got your message about the loss of my Mom. Your kind words and friendship mean a lot to me and I so appreciate you and your wonderful sense of humor. There are so many amazing people out here in blog land and I am ever so grateful to have found you. You are ever so sweet. Thank you my friend.
Pendra
Brenda Cazes
August 9, 2011 at 5:56 pm (14 years ago)This is too funny….and a little scary seeing as we live in the same city!! I was laughing out loud as I read them, but number one has got to be my favorite! Thanks for the laugh today – I needed it!! – Brenda
Izzyb
August 10, 2011 at 2:52 pm (14 years ago)You sure know how to bring the funny, Kelly. I wanted to laugh, but then, before I know it, my own son will be driving. Maybe I should just print this out and put it in his baby book now.
By the way, when I was a teen, I told my Dad that STOP stood for Squeal Tires On Pavement. He was not amused…
reneabouquets
August 12, 2011 at 4:24 am (14 years ago)OH wow, that layout is a stunner! Lucky you to meet such a scrapping Icon, I am definitely jealous! I know you were just beside yourself getting to meet her, and by the way you looked beautiful-great photo of you and her together!
Marivic (Berry71Bleu)

Sharon (Fritchey)
August 14, 2011 at 2:05 pm (14 years ago)Ahhhhhhh Kelly1 What a wonderful moment for you! I sooooo wish I could have been there! So, now you have to come to PA to teach a class to us, ok???!!!
Pendra
August 14, 2011 at 2:19 pm (14 years ago)You are soooo funny… still think we could make it on the road, just saying!! I received my goodies from you in the mail and just wanted to say thanks… I don’t own anything Bo Bunny, do you believe that? Well I do now… thanks sweetie!
Limor Webber
August 14, 2011 at 2:49 pm (14 years ago)LMAO!!! you crack me up!!!!

Shirley
August 14, 2011 at 5:19 pm (14 years ago)Made me laugh out loud. You have a gift my dear, dear friend.
Cindy Gay

Sandra D
August 14, 2011 at 7:39 pm (14 years ago)Another great post. Love the combination of humour & instruction! You are gorgeous before and after the “surgeries”.
Micupoftea~
August 14, 2011 at 10:31 pm (14 years ago)Yep, cropping makes photos look better and/or focuses onte best part! Valuable info 🙂
Micupoftea~
August 14, 2011 at 10:33 pm (14 years ago)Kelly…forgot to say that it looks like you had a great time with your special guy! xo
Lisa Barrie
August 15, 2011 at 6:57 pm (14 years ago)So darn funny!! I have to remember this next vacation!
Renee VanEpps
August 16, 2011 at 3:08 am (14 years ago)I agree with Shirley (you have a great gift), and Sandra’s funny comment LOL!! But it’s true, you are gorgeous and hilarious chica 😉 And don’t feel bad – I could only wish to have your arms! Your blog is such a perfect mix of everything, so happy you are here now!!! And I have to apologize for not doing my part of the Sweet Blog Award you gave me (yet). Going to start dreaming stuff up right now LOL! TTYL
Tasha
August 16, 2011 at 12:25 pm (14 years ago)What a fun post! Where did you go (between Kelowna and Vernon?) I only ask because my Dad lived in Oyama for a million years (but recently moved to Vernon). It is 20 minutes between Kelowna and Vernon but so small that no one ever knows where it is… Is that where you visited? I love it out there – Wade and I talk about relocating ALL the time. I am sure you had an amazing mini vacation. I love the wineries there – arent they beautiful?!
Noor Nahdi
August 16, 2011 at 1:17 pm (14 years ago)Funny one!!! Waiting to see your LO’s sweetie 🙂

August 21, 2011 at 8:02 am (14 years ago)Hi beautiful gal,
You have no idea how homesick these great travel pics are making this Okanagan raised girl right now! 🙂 Looks like you a stellar time there, that’s wonderful!
Thank you very much for your lovely comment on my scrapbook blog this morning about my anniversary card. Visiting the Okanagan, you were hanging out precisely where my parents still live 🙂
Big hugs & joyful weekend wishes,
Jessica

August 21, 2011 at 5:39 pm (14 years ago)OMG I’m cracking up! What a great post! Love your writing style and your projects too! Have a wonderful day!
Wendy Rasbach
August 22, 2011 at 12:15 pm (14 years ago)Wow, Kelly! Your layout is gorgeous! Good for you finding a way to get out of fussy cutting that paper. 🙂 I think it’s quite a work of art, and your friend will love it.
P.S. I rather enjoy the teenage horror stories. They make me giggle…probably because I don’t have teenagers yet…(yet)
Lisa Barrie
August 22, 2011 at 12:20 pm (14 years ago)Just stunning! I love the gold accents on the white washed embellies!! I’m definitely looking forward to some more storytelling too!
Karen Jones
August 22, 2011 at 12:56 pm (14 years ago)Incredible! Loving your blog.
Michelle
August 22, 2011 at 2:00 pm (14 years ago)Wow! stunning LO Kelly. It is so rich! Love all the fussy cutting …God bless Kim I’d say LOL!The weaved ribbon frame is beautiful! and I do that cut out the center thing too ….especially if I don’t have a second sheet ! great minds think alike!
Sandra D
August 22, 2011 at 2:57 pm (14 years ago)Beautiful job of creating a gorgeous layout and then teaching us how to recreate one for ourselves. The bird and butterflies are the perfect additions to this nature-inspired page. The sheer ribbon really adds another dimension and is the perfect girly finish.
Sandi Smith
August 22, 2011 at 3:26 pm (14 years ago)Just beautiful Kelly…love every detail. I too cut out the centers of my paper and please don’t change a thing about your blog…your stories always make me chuckle!!!
Cindy Gay
August 22, 2011 at 5:13 pm (14 years ago)It’s very pretty Kelly and I like the part about the dauber metallic paint.
Sabrina
August 22, 2011 at 7:18 pm (14 years ago)Absolutely beautiful!! 🙂 Thanks for sharing this, Kelly!
Vicky Alberto
August 22, 2011 at 8:16 pm (14 years ago)I love your stories and teen horror, LOL… love your layout too! I only fussy cut flowers if the project demands it otherwise I rather make 3D flowers 🙂
Micupoftea~
August 23, 2011 at 12:08 am (14 years ago)Ahhh, so elegant, Kelly! I LOVE LOTS of pics too~ Great close-ups of the punching, lacing and MF pieces. Your work is always so detailed and eye catching. Have a great week 🙂

August 23, 2011 at 4:46 am (14 years ago)Wow Kelly, this is so beautiful!! Yes, I love looking at the photos to see all the up close gorgeous elements!! Those MF resin pieces are so pretty, will have to get some (and some gold paint!).. Been wanting to try the Distress Stains 🙂

Izzyb
August 28, 2011 at 3:42 pm (14 years ago)Oh, I fear the day this happens to me, Kelly! But at least now I know what to expect and I hope I can handle it with half the grace and aplomb that you have. Loved the story in pictures and especially the wonderfully sweet pic at the end. Hugs to you!
Izzyb
August 28, 2011 at 4:01 pm (14 years ago)Hee! You are much braver than me, sweetie, because I would have never posted the original with the errant arm, lol.
Loved your post as I always do. You are such a terrific storyteller. Glad you got away from the munchkins for a little R and R.
Sandi Smith
August 28, 2011 at 5:44 pm (14 years ago)I know how you feel Kelly…my oldest just finished college and has been working in Iqaluit for the last 2 months.But he comes home on Thursday…YAY!!! Bet you are looking forward to your scrappy friend coming to visit!!
Cindy Gay
August 28, 2011 at 5:55 pm (14 years ago)Oh Kelly–I’m with you on all those emotions. Time for DH and you to go out on a date!
Michelle
August 28, 2011 at 6:22 pm (14 years ago)awww…what’s worse ? the fear? or the sadness? Totally love the last pic with his grandpa! hugs!
Sandra D
August 28, 2011 at 6:51 pm (14 years ago)What a sweet & touching story. You have such a masterful way of sharing your life with us. You have done a great job raising your son and that will help him make the right choices.
Lee-Anne
August 28, 2011 at 7:50 pm (14 years ago)Hugs Kelly! I have been through it and it’s hard for us moms sometimes to accept that our kids are growing up. They are becoming independent, but they will always need us. My two older kids are now married and I am seeing this now.
Micupoftea~
August 28, 2011 at 8:49 pm (14 years ago)I hear ya….my dd takes her test in 2 weeks. I will take pics too 🙂

August 28, 2011 at 10:30 pm (14 years ago)yikes – makes me want to go kiss my babies (but I don’t want to wake them, LOL).
Renee VanEpps
August 29, 2011 at 4:25 am (14 years ago)OH Kelly!!! I just want to give you a big hug you poor girl!!!! I’m all teared up for u 😉 !! Congrats to BG for getting his license! Now if he’d only quit scaring his mom! And I loved the irony of walking hom LOL. Big hugs, take care, can’t wait to see your next post ~
Walter Hunchak, Founder
August 29, 2011 at 6:13 am (14 years ago)I absolutely love the photo of BG and GBG. Brought tears to my eyes. Permission request to cross post to my Facebook page.
Lisa Barrie
August 29, 2011 at 9:00 am (14 years ago)Oh gosh the time is just going so fast! My DD is stuck in NYC coming home tomorrow and this is the longest I’ve been away from her. I can’t imagine what I’ll feel when she drives away. It kinda sucks. I love the wheel barrel pics, so darn cute!!
Limor Webber
August 29, 2011 at 10:24 am (14 years ago)Thanks for the laugh but most of all for the good cry! I totally get how heart wrenching it would be to see your baby boy drive away… hugs to you my friend! I do not look forward to having my kids grow up LoL!!! Hannah is going into Grade 1 on Thursday and I am already getting emotional.
Hugs!!
Limor
Paula
August 29, 2011 at 7:46 pm (14 years ago)Congrats??? Total roller coaster of a ride for you right now. Just know that you have given him the tools to be a good person and make the right decisions (hopefully *wink*)
I’m so going to be a mess when my boy is at this stage. I’m sad (and happy) he is starting preschool in a week!!
reneabouquets
August 31, 2011 at 4:02 am (14 years ago)Oh Kelly, great big, in the same boat as you, momma hugs-Lord knows we need them! Loved those photos and your story, especially the part about him having to walk that day-lol!
Sandi Smith
August 31, 2011 at 1:10 pm (14 years ago)Just beautiful Kelly…love the little sign and every other perfect detail!!!
Luz Maria Bruna
August 31, 2011 at 3:40 pm (14 years ago)What a fabulous work on this PRECIOUS layout my friend!!
Micupoftea~
August 31, 2011 at 5:20 pm (14 years ago)Sweet and a lovely vintage feel. I especially like the hand stitching. The punching and doily add femininity and daintiness. WHat a treasure the photo is for your family heritage album! Your pages always have wonderful touches. Chicken ‘wire’ is perfect on this LO~
Cindy Gay
August 31, 2011 at 5:25 pm (14 years ago)Ok you party girl! This is a great layout starting with the priceless photo. Great shadow box style framing with the punchwork and chicken wire. The sign (title box) is very creative and the stitchery also very nice.
Michelle
August 31, 2011 at 6:12 pm (14 years ago)Wow oh wow Kelly! this is GORGEOUS!!! I’m awed at all the wonderfully creative details on this LO!!!This is so sweet and touching! No wonder your mother loved it! the frame title is awesome!!!! and so is the double frame shadow box! I keep going back to look at all the gorgeous little details!
misty
September 1, 2011 at 9:12 am (14 years ago)This is amazing kelly! I loooove that frame. I’ve never seen anything like it!
misty
September 1, 2011 at 9:18 am (14 years ago)Oh dear Lord girl! I know this was funny but I actually felt a little teary eyed because I envisioned my son, and I imagine it is very hard to swallow!!! I mean I’m not even wanting to send him to kindergarten next year…not because I want him around 24/7 because I could use a break…but because time is flying by way too fast and although I know its supposed to happen, it still breaks my heart!
misty
September 1, 2011 at 9:19 am (14 years ago)oh yeah! Congrats to your “baby” boy!

September 1, 2011 at 3:31 pm (14 years ago)Awe! Makes me want to hug my baby boys and tell them not to grow up another day… ok, well get potty trained – and then stop growing!! 😉
Luz Maria Bruna
September 2, 2011 at 9:20 pm (14 years ago)Wow Kelly this is fabulous!!! Big big congrats my friend!!
Kay
September 2, 2011 at 9:57 pm (14 years ago)Congrats Kelly…fabulous news & one very fabulous masculine ‘teen’ page. I agree; the title & whole style screams teenager! Loved it all!
Melissa
September 2, 2011 at 10:14 pm (14 years ago)WOW! How completely awesome is that! I know a celebrity! You rock, girlie!
Melissa
September 2, 2011 at 10:15 pm (14 years ago)Absolutely gorgeous!!!! Just a stunning layout!
Renee VanEpps
September 3, 2011 at 7:26 am (14 years ago)YAY!!!! Congrats Kelly! Your work is beautiful and you are definitely cover-worthy!!! Love the gorgeous LO, especially the cool title work!
Michelle
September 3, 2011 at 8:25 am (14 years ago)BIG congrats Cover girl! So proud of you! HUGS!
Jessica Cangiano
September 3, 2011 at 8:43 am (14 years ago)That is so awesome, Kelly! I’m honestly doing a big happy dance for your right now. Canadian Scrapbooker is my favourite scrapbooking magazine and I eagerly look forward to buying it each month. Now I’ll be a million times more excited for the fall issue, knowing you were behind it’s fantastic cover.
Hugs hugs & happy congrats,
Jessica
Jeni O'Connor
September 3, 2011 at 3:51 pm (14 years ago)Kelly!!!!! A front cover! That’s awesome news. I’m soooo thrilled for you. HUGEST CONGRATS!
Fabulous layout and even more so as It’s not your size. I’d feel the same. But you created an amazing lo.Maybe it’s something about understanding the crazy Canadian hockey love. lol
Sandi Smith
September 3, 2011 at 5:22 pm (14 years ago)Big congrats Kelly…your layout is gorgeous and you definitely deserve to be a cover girl!!
Cindy Gay
September 3, 2011 at 7:23 pm (14 years ago)You did a great job Kelly! Now you have to put Boy Genius’ picture there!
scrapbookertink
September 4, 2011 at 5:49 am (14 years ago)Wow, super congrats, amazing layout for a teen, love it, take care, Doreen x
Lisa Barrie
September 4, 2011 at 8:55 am (14 years ago)Wow!! That is incredible, you must be so proud!
Paula
September 4, 2011 at 9:58 am (14 years ago)OMG! You did stitcking on your page!! I am so impressed by this since I know you laugh at me so much when I am doing it. And you used a tool to do it!!
Way to go (LOL)! Great layout Kelly.
Sandra D
September 4, 2011 at 4:43 pm (14 years ago)Congrats Kelly on what is sure to be only the first of many covers designed by you! You are on your way to being a scrapping star – and not the chipboard kind (he he). Thanks for sharing your good news – your friends, fans & followers are thrilled with your success.
Sharon (Fritchey)
September 5, 2011 at 7:06 am (14 years ago)Woohoo Kelly!!!!!!!!! I KNEW I would see your work on a cover some day! You have such amazing talent! Now, when can I come to your house for a class??????
I am interested in that sketch, too! TFS!!!
P.S. I love that photo of you holding the cover – you always make me smile, my friend!
Sharon (Fritchey)
September 5, 2011 at 7:06 am (14 years ago)Such a lovely page!!!!!!! You are amazing!
Sharon (Fritchey)
September 5, 2011 at 7:07 am (14 years ago)Yep, it happens quickly, doesn it, Kelly? I love your page, your last photo, and everything here! TFS!!!
Izzyb
September 12, 2011 at 3:50 am (14 years ago)This is awesome! I don’t know if teens still say that….I think I may be aging myself. But awesome fits. The layout, the cover, your accomplishment. I love the page you created. Teen boy pages are especially hard to do and you rocked this. LOVE that pic of you holding the mag, lol. I am thrilled for you, Kelly.
Izzyb
September 13, 2011 at 4:41 pm (14 years ago)This is such a fun fall page. A delight! Your description of how this layout came about really made me smile. Indeed, the “fail” part of the title certainly and rightfully belongs to the teens! We moms have to stick together.
I think a fall pic of Kelly and hubby might be in order, esp now that BoyGenius is driving and BabyoftheFamily is fast becoming a teen and DramaQueen is surely going to resist a family photo shoot….
I love this Bella Blvd collection. You used the chipboard in such cute ways. I picked up a bit of this line the other day. Loved BB’s fall line last year too. Wonderful work, Kelly.
Izzyb
September 13, 2011 at 4:44 pm (14 years ago)I was looking through your blog tags and saw that “Justin Bieber” was a tag of yours. Curiosity got the best of me. Hee! Really cute story. Love the photoshopping!
Michelle
September 13, 2011 at 5:38 pm (14 years ago)Funny funny! Love that the “Fail’ is all off kilter Kelly…it adds to the chaotic feeling of this LO. Great take on the sketchy challenge! and you’re right …sometimes it really is a relief to do a Lo that’s not all technique heavy. Great LO!!!
Sandra D
September 13, 2011 at 7:25 pm (14 years ago)Such a cute layout Kelly. It is ironic that the photos are the stars of a layout about the trials of getting a “good” photo. Love the papers (especially the wood grain) and the fun embellishments. What a good mom you are to include the hearts!
misty
September 13, 2011 at 9:43 pm (14 years ago)Great layout! I love your trees and the photo’s crack me up just thinking about the entire process! I can relate when trying to do photoshoots of my sisters kids…someones always mad and NO ONE ever pays attention to the photographer!!! Definitely the fault of the subjects not the photographers. 🙂
Cindy Gay
September 14, 2011 at 2:56 am (14 years ago)Love the trees and the alphas and the photos. . . you’re certainly not a failure at anything!
reneabouquets
September 14, 2011 at 3:50 am (14 years ago)I love that you took not so perfect photos, and turned them into a perfect layout! A sense of humor is a must for those of us with teens, and I love yours!
Pendra
September 14, 2011 at 7:53 am (14 years ago)Wow Kelly, this page is stunning! You have the patience of a saint and nerves of steel because I would be a nervous ninny, (spelling???) cutting up that beautiful paper. But it came out GORGEOUS! I just adore the ribbon weaving around the photo! Thanks for sharing how you do what you do! It means a lot to this newbie!
Pendra
September 14, 2011 at 7:59 am (14 years ago)Ooooh Kelly… my oldest Grandaughter is gonna graduate High School this year, I have been through this with my kids and now my Grandkids. I have totally white hair now, and I blame THIS moment with each and every one! Love that you documented this… save it for when his kids start to drive, send him this photo, he will get it then!!! hehehe… it is sooooo fun!!
Pendra
September 14, 2011 at 8:06 am (14 years ago)Way to go girl!!! I knew you had it in you… and I knew you when! hehehe! I know a Cover Girl! I am so happy for you… you and your work are so amazing and so deserving!
Pendra
September 14, 2011 at 8:19 am (14 years ago)What a beautiful tribute for a wonderful photo! I bet your Mom was so thrilled! My Mom just passed and I have found some amazing photos of her as a little girl, this is a wonderful idea for these treasured photos! I have been away from my home and supplies for months and months and I am having scrap anxiety… but I am storing up ideas, and this is at the top! Thanks for sharing the most inspiring and creative projects!
Sharon Pelech
September 14, 2011 at 11:21 am (14 years ago)You captured the essence of that moment! I was not sure why giving up the keys was such a big deal for me too… but having to let go of the child is exactly what it is about. Of course R didn’t see it that way! And then there came the “first” accident… another story! Sharon
Shelly Anne
September 14, 2011 at 4:47 pm (14 years ago)This is AMAZING!!! Congrats Kelly!! So excited for you and wonderful job.
Sue Sykes
September 14, 2011 at 9:10 pm (14 years ago)Congratulations, Kelly! I loved your layout when I saw it! WTG!
Char
September 15, 2011 at 5:33 am (14 years ago)Super cute LO Kelly! Too funny! I have many photos like those, but somehow I never think to scrap them! I did see the Sketch contest, but I’m not sure I”ll have time this month to enter anything. Hope you do well though!
Bellaidea
September 15, 2011 at 6:01 am (14 years ago)very cute fall layout, if you like fall please visit us soon at PIT /more info on my blog :)/
Lisa Barrie
September 15, 2011 at 7:23 am (14 years ago)Years from now you’ll remember that day for it’s imperfect perfection, much better than some stuffy posed photo anyway! The placement of all the pps is so perfect and that’s not easy!
Sandi Smith
September 15, 2011 at 7:27 am (14 years ago)Gorgeous work Kelly and I think your photos were a success as they are a very accurate portrayal of every day life!
Noor Nahdi
September 15, 2011 at 9:12 am (14 years ago)Such a fun take on the sketch!!! Love your creative imagination 🙂
Sharon (Fritchey)
September 16, 2011 at 11:19 pm (13 years ago)Kelly! This layout is amazing! I love your take on the sketch! I especially love your sense of humor and exactly who failed what in your layout!!!! LOL!!!!! Thanks for sharing a little bit of your talent with us!
Nancy H.
September 17, 2011 at 2:55 pm (13 years ago)Oh my word girl!!! super congrats on the COVER spot!!!! WOW! you go girl!!!!! that is beyond AWESOME!
WillieburgScrapper
September 17, 2011 at 3:04 pm (13 years ago)This is such a great project! The details are AMAZING!!! Love the chicken wire corners and the real wood sign- the cross stitch is the perfect corner on the sides there- what a fantastic way to match a wonderful photo! pinned onto my Pinterest account!
scrapbookertink
September 18, 2011 at 8:05 am (13 years ago)Gorgeous take on the sketch, love the pics and the colours you used, take care, Doreen x
Izzyb
September 20, 2011 at 6:22 pm (13 years ago)Oh, my stars! This is one amazing creation. Please tell me you submitted this to Scrapbooking and Beyond. The spring call is due Oct. 1. This is right up their alley.
Brenda Cazes
September 20, 2011 at 9:05 pm (13 years ago)WOW!!!! Congrats Kelly! That is sooooo exciting! I can’t believe I’ve looked at that cover so many times and had no idea it was YOUR layout. We all knew it was just a matter of time before your talent landed you a cover! Congrats again!
Alia
September 29, 2011 at 4:35 pm (13 years ago)Ah, Glad you’re home!! 🙂
Lisa Barrie
September 29, 2011 at 5:40 pm (13 years ago)So glamorous!
Cindy Gay
September 29, 2011 at 6:02 pm (13 years ago)Bob always says trips like that are an “adventure” (you’re along for the ride. . . not much you can do. . .I’m thinking by the shape of that hanger they probably used it to unclog the sink. . . thank goodness for hand sanitizer!
misty
September 29, 2011 at 8:05 pm (13 years ago)You are cracking me up! You are such an amazing writer!! I totally felt like I was there with you but kinda glad I wasn’t. lol Were people looking at you strange taking pics of the keys? so funny…hope the next trip is much more appealing!
Renee VanEpps
September 30, 2011 at 6:14 am (13 years ago)Wow, it’s like another world there! I’ve never been to an unclean Safeway! Sounds like the trip from &^%$! Glad you commanded your way outta there! OH, that was bad wasn’t it! Really bad!
reneabouquets
October 1, 2011 at 6:01 pm (13 years ago)Oh this was just what I needed! Such a humorous take on your road trip. You have a wonderful writing style, you always draw me right in.
This trip sounds like some of ours through Oklahoma. It is so bad there that my motto is, don’t stop to eat, drink, pee or sleep until we get to Arkansas boys!!
Jeni O'Connor
October 4, 2011 at 3:45 am (13 years ago)I think I know that Safeway. It’s somewhere down on the backroads of many places I’ve visited.
Kelly you are such a treat for the soul. I think you were supposed to go devining with that key “charm”
Love it all!
Jenix
Natasha
October 11, 2011 at 1:27 pm (13 years ago)Ahem… And you say MY supply lists are long? LOL. Fabulous layout! Love the pumpkin seeds and I thought the photo was part of the paper!! Gorgeous photo! xoxo

October 11, 2011 at 1:51 pm (13 years ago)Love this Halloween design it amazing
Michelle
October 11, 2011 at 4:38 pm (13 years ago)Oh wow…awesome Kelly..and as you said about me….I can attest that this LO is even MORE gorgeous IRL! Nice addition with the Magenta leaves {wink wink}I gave you that punch??? Jeez..aren’t I a great friend hahah. Now you’ve inspired me and I must get my ar….errr…butt in gear and get something posted to the sketchy challenge!
JULIANA
October 11, 2011 at 7:45 pm (13 years ago)I totally love your layout! So many fun details!
Izzyb
October 12, 2011 at 3:54 am (13 years ago)Wow wee! First, I LOVE babyofthefamily’s costume from last year. I wonder if you had her dress that way just so you could scrap her…..? She perfect for that Graphic 45 Alice line. Please tell me you did! Secondly, oh my word, your page! That spooky tree and the big moon are the BEST! Love it, love it! A perfect Halloween page.
Izzyb
October 12, 2011 at 4:00 am (13 years ago)Hee, my poor dear! Now, I will have nightmares about bathroom key. Ick! Well, at least the power didn’t go out while you were in there. Though then you would have missed the message on the wall….Love the parting shot. Your trip really did lack glamour, I’m afraid, but you got a great blog post from it!
reneabouquets
October 12, 2011 at 4:47 am (13 years ago)Love all the foliage and leaves in your sketch layout-you layered them up fabulously! I love seeing your dark side come to life! I also love your little Mad Hatter up top, she looked amazing. I wish she could realize that she will have so much more fun being original and creative than just another pretty face, but unfortunately the world seems to be making our little girls feel that way at a younger and younger age. Hope you guys have a hauntingly fun Halloween!
A SASSY SCRAPPER
October 19, 2011 at 12:32 am (13 years ago)Great design, Kelly!….and YES, I still love that picture of your DD! You really did rock the diecuts and make them work for you, Girlfriend! Super job with the design and all the wonderful embellies that you made! AMAZING!!!
Renee VanEpps
October 21, 2011 at 4:40 am (13 years ago)HA! Love it Kelly! I know my turn is coming, mine’s only 4, but time does fly… Everytime I think nothing can shock me these days, I see something like that tag on the shirt! What the ____?!! Anyway, as I read your through your post, my thought was that you really should try to publish your writing. ( You may be like DUH RENEEE, been there done that! ) But I think your writing would be so perfect @ places like Paper Crafting Magazine’s blog, or any of the other major blogs.. since you’re so good at papercrafting and writing.. match made in heaven!
Sandra D
October 21, 2011 at 7:46 am (13 years ago)Hi Kelly,
Love the post & the photos. It really sickens me to see the lengths the retailers will go for shock value. The values that seem normal today are outrageous! It is after seeing things like this that I am happy my dd does not love to shop. Your analogy about the cruise is so apt – we are sailing on chopping seas with a broken rudder! The really scary thought is I don’t know who is the captain most days.
Michelle
October 21, 2011 at 8:17 am (13 years ago)baaahhhaaaa. I sooooooooooo feel your pain! and that comment about the undies?? Oh how true is that ! as Chelsea likes to say [ only half as a joke I think] “My Nana thinks I wear satan’s panties!”LOL and I thought I was a rebel in high school when I wore the first mini skirt out of all the girls! haha Why do retailers need to sexualize our little girls at an earlier and earlier age ? and I’m SHOCKED at that pill tshirt! Whoa…what the heck is that all about?
Tasha
October 21, 2011 at 8:39 am (13 years ago)Guess I should be thankful for boys only! 😉

October 21, 2011 at 7:25 pm (13 years ago)Is Boy Genius any better? I’m not sure. . . Did she buy and think with “PINK” written across the back side?
Gabrielle Pollacco
October 22, 2011 at 3:15 pm (13 years ago)You always give me a good laugh Kelly! Coming her is god for the soul….nice to know that I’m not the only one the breaks out in hives thinking about back to school shopping! Even more fun…try shopping with 2 girls who spend their whole time weighing out what is fair, who got more…oiy! You’re such a good writer…love reading your posts! xx
Micupoftea~
October 23, 2011 at 5:44 pm (13 years ago)HAHAHA!! You gave me a good chuckle! When I walk into Hollisters it takes a few minutes to get my hearing back after we leave! Luckily, my dd does not like shopping, and chooses clothing quickly! lol~ We end up going to better lit places like Forever 21 where at least we can read the tags! She prefers feminine and classy styles, not midriff baring, thank goodness. Love your sense of humor…THANKS for visiting my Haunted Halloween Tea!
xoxoxo
Sandi Cl~
October 23, 2011 at 7:08 pm (13 years ago)So, who says we have to scrap chronologically .. or on time? LOL Fabulous page .. and the design was certainly worth keeping! Love that DA tree .. gonna have to get one of those! Hope you have a great week!
JULIANA
October 24, 2011 at 6:41 am (13 years ago)While I was in Chicago recently I went into a couple of these stores and pretty much turned immediately around and left because of the loud music! I guess I am officially getting old! LOL!!!
Izzyb
October 24, 2011 at 4:10 pm (13 years ago)Another fabulous and funny post. It’s kind of scary – perfect for Halloween! Love your writing. It’s definitely a treat!
Micupoftea~
October 24, 2011 at 10:47 pm (13 years ago)your pages always have fabulous details and wonderful panache! Love the grungepaper and Stickles. How clever of you to mark your punch to do the edge border. Glinda looks magical, indeed. You made me laugh …just why WERE YOU standing next to Ms. Green face??! Hmm?
Sabrina
October 24, 2011 at 11:47 pm (13 years ago)Wow Kelly, this is so technical, thanks for sharing!! Your layout is gorgeous with all the right colors! The semi-circle punch is brilliant!! Well done!! I learned a lot from this post, TFS again! Have a great week, Kelly!! Take care. xoxo.
Sandi Smith
October 25, 2011 at 2:02 am (13 years ago)Wow Kelly…amazing work once again….LOVE it!

October 25, 2011 at 4:07 am (13 years ago)wowsa Kelly! This is fabulous. Love all the texture/dimension, not to mention cool pics! The semi circle punch is a great idea – TFS!
scrapbookertink
October 25, 2011 at 5:26 am (13 years ago)Wow, this is so amazing, love all the details you have spent hours getting right, saw Wicked a few years ago over here and have just seen The Wizard of Oz recently loved both of them. Waterstone’s the online book company has the most amazing scanimation book out on this, you might be interested, take care and the teacup basket is from http://www.candigifts.co.uk which is a UK based website, Doreen x
Michelle
October 25, 2011 at 9:27 am (13 years ago)That yellow brick road is a stroke of genius Kelly..simply gorgeous! and what a great tip of marking the back of your punch so you have the same depth every time you punch the edge…I’ll certainly have to remember that tip! 🙂 Awesome fussy cutting and glinda is just sparkly perfect! Fab Lo my friend!
Kay
October 25, 2011 at 2:49 pm (13 years ago)How cool is this!!! I love how you went about creating the yellow brick road. I just saw Wicked this past weekend! So this page ‘called’ to me! The close ups is what I really enjoyed…I got to see all those fabulous techniques you used…awesome work!
Kay
October 25, 2011 at 2:52 pm (13 years ago)What a VERY cool Halloween page! You created the night scene from It’s the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown…complete with the great big pumpkins! Linus would be right at home here. The DA tree against the large moon…it just all works together perfectly…love it!
Cindy Gay
October 25, 2011 at 6:04 pm (13 years ago)Well Kelly–it’s still great even if Baby of the Family did not cooperate. You should get her back and clone her face onto the Wicked Witch. I love the brick wall and the entire layout! Hey, you’d make a good Dorothy………
Luz Maria Bruna
October 25, 2011 at 7:20 pm (13 years ago)Kelly this is absolutely fabulous girl!! You really made a fantastic work on this project!!

misty
October 25, 2011 at 9:51 pm (13 years ago)WOW! What a great post! Not only because of your awesome layout itself but your step by steps are so helpful!!! Now you have me convinced that I need a sizzix…I have a cricut that I rarely use and didn’t want the sizzix to be the same story! Thanks for sharing Kelly…
Pendra
October 26, 2011 at 1:02 pm (13 years ago)Hey Kelly, I haven’t visited in awhile and I see you are the same goofball, but boy your work isn’t goofy! This is beautiful, I love how you share the how to’s! I just got a BigKick and the brick embossing folder… I didn’t know you could put the ink right in it, I learned something new today! I am in awe of how easy you made it to do the postage edge… I didn’t know that it would be so easy (of course I haven’t tried it yet)! Thanks for sharing and keep up that great work… you are always an inspiration to me and I learned a lot from you today!
Crafty Hugs,
Pendra

October 28, 2011 at 2:21 pm (13 years ago)Your work on this layout is fantastic. I am exhausted just thinking how many hours you must have spent to get every detail perfect. The sparkle, the steam punk gears and the fussy cutting all add up to a “wickedly-amazing” art piece.
Char
October 28, 2011 at 3:13 pm (13 years ago)Wow, it was great seeing all the details on this page up close! Tons of inspiring ideas for me!
natalia
October 29, 2011 at 1:59 pm (13 years ago)wow, it’s so amazing, I can’t making scrapbooking cards:( I don’t have a precision like you:) Ipreffer soutache or felt flowers. Before Christmas every year I always try to make a christmas cards, but they are so ugly. It’s a pity that my friends get ugly cards:P
take care, Natalia
Jeni O'Connor
October 29, 2011 at 10:52 pm (13 years ago)Kelly this is just awesome crafting. I love the way the two pages are brought together so beautifully by the road trailing across. LOL had to laugh at your “baby” not wanting to be Dorothy Can you blame her?
Great pic of you two witches. LOL
Crystal
October 30, 2011 at 4:51 am (13 years ago)Love this post! I’ve been there.

Seriously!And while you know the window /blue one is my fav , I gotta tell you that the way you used the rosette die cut to make that Christmas tree is astounding. It amazes me how you keep coming up with unique ways to use these products..YOU should send that one to Tim himself…I bet he’d be mighty impressed with that use for his diecut! Outstanding work my friend!
Char
November 7, 2011 at 7:08 am (13 years ago)Wow! Talk about impressive! It never fails to amaze me how many different techniques you use to create. I can’t wait to soak up some inspiration from you!
Sandra D
November 7, 2011 at 9:54 am (13 years ago)Hi Kelly,
What beautiful cards. You must be so proud of how you challenged yourself and came up with such a magnificent result. Michelle’s idea is brilliant – Tim would love to see what you have come up with!

I couldn’t love these more. Beautiful, Kelly. Loved the tip, too, on using distress stains to color ribbon. I usually use mists, but I like the look of the stains better. Great job, too, with all the photos. Just wow.

November 8, 2011 at 8:01 pm (13 years ago)Your attention to detail is amazing, Kelly. You humble me! Crafting at its finest. I have the 8×8 paper pack of this collection and I would love a good Oz Halloween character to photograph – and scrap – too. Darn that baby of the family! But you sure made Wicked work. This is just remarkable. I need some new tools, I see….

Thanks for swinging by my blog today- I know that was a scary page- got it out of the way and have moved onto brighter material today. 😉

I just looked out my studio window..and realized there is not much colour out there today. Love the bright fun layout… Now I think I need to add some colour to my house, lol. P.S. Great pics of Mexico!

Sandra D
January 12, 2012 at 12:57 pm (13 years ago)Your blog post reminds me of the question I ask myself every winter: “Why do I live here when there are places that have decent weather all year round?” Love the photos from Mexico – they have a real happy feel. The layout is a great example of using colour and simple embellishments successfully.
Cindy Gay
January 12, 2012 at 7:08 pm (13 years ago)Beautiful colors in your layout and Mexico. I too like the pine trees in your back yard! Glad you had a great trip!
Kay
January 12, 2012 at 7:22 pm (13 years ago)I so enjoyed going through those pictures. About two years I was in Mexico myself with the hubby & this brought back memories. Our hotel wasn’t as colorful as yours though!! It was so bright! I’d need shades 24/7 there–but it was oh so pretty! Loved all your different takes and that pretty layout you wrapped your post up with. Glad to see you had a great vacation!
Renee
January 13, 2012 at 4:18 am (13 years ago)I wondered what the feathers were! She is gorgeous Kelly! You best get out yer rockin’ chair and shotgun as my father in law always says ROFL. I think he will set up a permanent station on our front porch when Emily turns 16 😉 Anyway, THANK u sooooooooo much for bringing a little piece of Heaven to me today – these pictures are so beautiful and summery.. reminds me also of the time I went to Mexico as a child, so much shopping!!!! If I went there today I would bankrupt myself lol! P.S. LO is gorgeous, love the dyno tapes and all the journaling words! And I was laughing at your “glamourous birch trees and WOW’s when describing your house (even though your house IS pretty, but yeah.. the humor cracked me up!) Hugs!
Izzyb
January 13, 2012 at 10:57 am (13 years ago)It looks like you had a wonderful, colorful trip, Kelly. Great pics. Which city did you visit? And I have to say: your backyard may not be colorful, but it is spectacular! What a view.
Great layout. I love the punches of color against the neutral background. BOF is lovely. They do grow up too fast. Sniff, indeed.

Your home in Canada looks amazing but where I live it doesn’t snow (it takes about 4 hours to see snow when the time of the year is right lol) I think I would love a holiday there – especially for Christmas!!! Love your LO and my your daughter has grown up!! Take care my friend – and thank you for my little message on SB.com – haven’t been around much – must get back to it though.. xxx Kaz

January 27, 2012 at 10:36 am (13 years ago)LOL! I chuckled all the way through this post. I’d say you got the last laugh, Kelly. Love all these fun pics of DQ and the hand. Perhaps you should have offered her a few of those tropical libations….Now, those would have relaxed her. Or maybe you had the right idea after all. Just keep those for yourself! Great post.
Charlotte Brochu
January 27, 2012 at 10:44 am (13 years ago)Too funny Kelly and sadly too true! LOL! I have several of these kinds of photos, not to mention the “eye rolling” photos!

Lee-Anne
January 27, 2012 at 11:28 am (13 years ago)Hehehe I can totally relate. That is why a lot of my photos for scrapbooking are flowers, nature and landscapes because my two older kids are grown up and married and live 3 hours away and my son, that is still at home is 12 and gives me the hand. LOL. As long as it isn’t the finger I’m happy LOL.

scrappyhappymom
January 27, 2012 at 1:28 pm (13 years ago)This is too funny only because it reminds me of my daughter! To get back at her, I scrap those photos, lol. Next time she will smile, lol. My daughter calls me often and says “MOM, why did you scrapbook that picture of me..I look horrible”… My rule is, when my camera is in hand and I’m pointing it your way, your going to end up on a layout!!!
Sandi Smith
January 27, 2012 at 5:47 pm (13 years ago)Loved your post Kelly…too funny. I go through this with my son…Claudine has not quite reached this phase yet. I think you should definintely do that album!

January 27, 2012 at 5:49 pm (13 years ago)Oh my gawd! You crack me up Kelly! Tell S that while she has a beautiful hand she has an even more beautiful face and should let her momma take more pics of her!!!! I do love the pic of her with the camera up to her face…its really cool. Thankls for the giggles sweetie! Hugs
Cindy Gay
January 27, 2012 at 7:08 pm (13 years ago)Oh that’s funny. And she’s so pretty, she should let you take her picture! At least it wasn’t the obscene gesture! You could scrap the one of her with the camera though. . . something to work with there!
A SASSY SCRAPPER
January 27, 2012 at 9:57 pm (13 years ago)HILARIOUS, Kelly!!!! I feel your pain, my friend! I, too, have gotten “the hand” many times and have to make an appointment for a photo shoot! LOVE this post (I know…..there’s not a post on your blog that I don’t love). It MADE MY DAY!
Sue Sykes
January 27, 2012 at 11:12 pm (13 years ago)Too funny, Kelly! I have one of each – my son either runs at the site of the camera or makes a goofy face and my daughter jumps into EVERY photo with a big cheesy grin… It’s embarassing when a photographer doesn’t have any good photos of their own children! LOL!
scrapbookertink
January 28, 2012 at 5:17 am (13 years ago)LOL, I can relate to that, do some layouts with the hand, she won’t like it and you might then get some pics next time for layouts, take care, Doreen x
Sharon
January 28, 2012 at 6:04 am (13 years ago)Absolutely histerical, Kelly!!!!! I am still laughing!!!! I know exactly what you are dealing with – I have a 17 year old! We are getting ready to go to Disney World in April – I bet I get a lot of the same shots and will need the same “medicine” that you used on vacation!!!!!!!! Thank you SO MUCH for these giggles!
Renee
January 28, 2012 at 7:23 am (13 years ago)ROFL!!!! This is so funny Kelly! I remember doing ‘the hand’ so much at that age! And we didn’t even HAVE digital cameras so you can imagine how pissed my mom was using up so much costly film! By the way missy – got my prize package – thank you so much! And I really loved that handmade card, what a gorgeous envelope and design!
misty
January 28, 2012 at 7:34 am (13 years ago)Ha! Too funny…I really think you should do the mini album!
Lynne J
January 28, 2012 at 8:07 am (13 years ago)I just love your sense of humour, Kelly! My DD loves the camera, but then hates 99% of the pics after…my DS groans whenever I haul out the camera, but the only one in the family who does the hand thing is hubby! I think you SHOULD scrap her hand album; might make her think twice next time(and I love the shot of her with the camera)
Connie Nichol
January 28, 2012 at 8:25 am (13 years ago)I think the mini album is a great idea! Hopefully your DD will pass out of this phase soon. Have you tried bribery???? It often works with younger kids if you pay for pictures. LOL
Wendy Rasbach
January 28, 2012 at 9:33 am (13 years ago)Kelly, I laughed out loud about being lucky to get three fingers instead of just one. These pictures cracked me UP! I’m considering myself lucky that my girls are just 9 and 6 yet. Hopefully I have a good long time before they start giving me _the hand_.
Thanks for the smiles! 🙂
Krista
January 28, 2012 at 9:49 am (13 years ago)Ha! Thanks for the giggles!
Krista
January 28, 2012 at 9:57 am (13 years ago)I love your take on this sketch! and your daughter did such a great job on her snowman!
Miae
January 28, 2012 at 10:24 am (13 years ago)Gads you are funny! You’ve got some serious photo evidence of this ‘problem’ and I do agree you should present it all in that mini;) Cheers!
Nancy Hanttula
January 28, 2012 at 10:41 am (13 years ago)OMG! I love it…”A Year in the Life of your Hand” – LOL! too funny!!!
WillieburgScrapper
January 29, 2012 at 7:41 am (13 years ago)Yes this calls for a bit of scrappers revenge- a mini book sounds perfect. She really is quite beautiful- perhaps you can try to shoot on a timer so she doesn’t know it’s coming? Lola is only 2 and a half but she’s been running away from photos or giving me “the forehead” for about a year now. I usually need a Margarita to get over it too- especially after a big “family” photo where everyone is complaining about the actual photo but then gets angry when I don’t send them a copy. Hugs from one shutterbug momma to another!
karennarelle
January 30, 2012 at 3:01 am (13 years ago)you should definitely do it.
Laurie
January 30, 2012 at 1:33 pm (13 years ago)Dooo itttt! That would be soo funny!!!!!!

It seems winter has arrived in Edmonton, Its been a great one this year.. Loved it.. having to drive out to St. Albert for my physical therapy twice weekly I was loving the perfect driving conditions. But we’re in Alberta we know that can’t last!! We finally dug ourselves out of all the snow this weekend, but barely as our front end truck blade broke… It was almost panic!! NOW WHAT!!! lol hubby fixed it no problem. One problem living in the country no plow comes by and cleans the road lol Once again.. beautiful job on your new layouts, I wish I had as much talent!! You are truly amazing. Sherry

Izzyb
March 13, 2012 at 7:43 pm (13 years ago)Well, first, a big yahoo on being named among the G45 finalists. No one who frequents your blog is surprised by that. I’m constantly amazed by the G45 projects you feature here. Like this one! LOVE the “school days” layout. So creative. The little girl peeking over the photo is just the cutest touch. As for your card, it’s delightful. I’ve never heard of fabric paper but now I want some! Enabler!
scrapbookertink
March 14, 2012 at 11:58 am (13 years ago)LOL, Kelly loved your story about the pickles! Your farm layout is amazing, that glassine paper is amazing on the leaves, need to try that. Your daughter is a cutie, how quick they grow up mine are now 17 and 15! Take care, Doreen x
Miae
March 14, 2012 at 12:34 pm (13 years ago)That’s a wonderful family photo of the girls! I wish I had photos of my mom as a girl back in the “old country”- Korea:) Your two pages are very different but so well done! Love the pink and fun of the first (cool banner by the way) and your second with it’s chippie and banner has modern heritage all over it! Beautiful takes on the sketches Kelly:)
Lee-Anne
March 14, 2012 at 2:07 pm (13 years ago)Absolutely love your farm layout! Your family photo is awesome too. Nice story too!

March 14, 2012 at 2:34 pm (13 years ago)Gorgeous LOs Kelly! Great take on the sketch. Loved the story of the pickles …I hear ya…I’ll never be able to do all the stuff my mom did! I certainly don’t consider myself lazy but Mom can still run circles around me. { well NOT run per say haha…like your Mom ,I don’t remember ever seeing her run either!] Loooove the three generation photo..what a good looking bunch of girls! Hugs, Michelle
PS I seem to be on a banner kick lately too. Are we channeling each other?????

Shell

WillieburgScrapper
March 17, 2012 at 10:15 am (13 years ago)I love the banner photos in the first page and the color but the second page is SPECTACULAR!!! The vintage photos, the detail and layering- the color- just amazing! If you don’t mind I will pin that second page to my chipboard pin board on Pinterest? I’t’s incredibly inspiring. Thank you so much for swinging by my blog today- that Echo Park collection is just so beautiful- I didn’t do it justice this time but I have many pages to go- it’s my favorite right now. 🙂

Izzy Anderson
March 22, 2012 at 8:02 am (13 years ago)These are both just beautiful. I absolutely adore the heritage page. I never knew I “needed” chicken wire chip but gosh if I don’t want some now! That’s such a sweet photo there at the end. Love your writing your posts are always a joy to discover.
misty
March 23, 2012 at 1:36 pm (13 years ago)I’m with ingrid…I got a little teary eyed seeing the 3 generations of pickler’s pic! I love both of these pages and I’m always a fan of how you draw us in with your writing!

You are the second person that didn’t make it that really should have 🙁 Enjoy your break and congrats on the teaching gig!
Lee-Anne
April 2, 2012 at 9:44 am (13 years ago)Congratulatons on being the guest instructor at Scrapbook Your Heart! I went for the first time last year and had a fantastic time. Too bad I can’t go this year, but I know you are in such great company with Allison and Christy!
So sorry about the G45 team. I was rooting for you and Karen Zueger. You are both perfect for the team. Unfortunately in this business there is some rejection, but that doesn’t make you less of an artist. It is their loss for sure. Please don’t give up and do try again next year. You go girl! I believe in everything you do!
Vicky Alberto
April 2, 2012 at 9:58 am (13 years ago)I still think it’s all great news because even being considered for G45 is HUGE!

April 2, 2012 at 10:38 am (13 years ago)what great layouts, Kelly. I especially love the heritage one with the photos of your mom. What a wonderful way to showcase those old pictures, really love the amazing texture you’ve added with the glassine and chicken wire. Thanks for the inspiration!!!

Sorry to hear about the Graphic 45, but what an accomplishment you had making the Top 30 there. Not many can say that. There’s always next year! Hope you enjoyed your Spring Break!
Lesley
April 3, 2012 at 9:35 am (13 years ago)I was not surprised that you were chosen as G45 finalist….. BUT was really surprised they didn’t select you for their team. As others have said, it’s their loss! Keep creating with your great ideas, and congratulations on being invited to be an instructor at the retreat. Focus on the positive!

Izzy Anderson
April 4, 2012 at 4:09 am (13 years ago)Oh, a retreat! How wonderful, Kelly. Those folks really tapped the right person. I know you will be an amazing teacher and really inspire the participants. Plus, I am sure they will laugh a lot in your class. I am already green with envy that I am not one of them…..Re: G45. Oh, so close and yet so far. Bummer! I thought *for sure* you would be chosen because you are the bomb diggity! I sound like your mom here, but I am proud of you for trying out. It required a certain boldness the way the audition process worked and of course you rocketed right into the top 30 as I knew you would. Tis their loss for sure, but now you have time to do other totally fab things like this retreat. So, yay! Now you have time, freedom and new gigs. Congrats, Kelly.

April 27, 2012 at 3:19 pm (13 years ago)Oh, this is beautiful! I love embossing foil. Have you seen the no more shims mat? Its awesome, I embossed coins (don’t know that I will use them) and an old piece of screen from an old door. You should google it if you haven’t seen them yet. I got mine at http://www.susanascustomartandcarddesign.com

Michelle
May 2, 2012 at 8:39 pm (13 years ago)Oh dear…I see I’ve fallen behind in my blog commenting! 🙂 Love this Amazing Lo Kelly. The foil tut is awesome. I can see I’m going to have to break down and get some alcohol inks….I was never really sure what to do with them so wouldn’t invest in them. You always have something new and so interesting on your Los Kelly!
Michelle
May 2, 2012 at 8:41 pm (13 years ago)Loooooooove these cards Kelly…especially those adorable rolled flowers! The dies add such a lovely edging to the rolled flowers don’t they? I really like how you tucked in the ribbon bow behind them. Sweet little touch that gives it that something extra!
Jody
May 3, 2012 at 7:17 pm (13 years ago)Love your cards! I totally need that die! Isn’t it great to have those around…it just makes everything fall together! Great job!
Izzy Anderson
May 6, 2012 at 7:37 am (13 years ago)Oh, I am not a flower girl generally, but how I love those. You did a wonderful job with the flowers. That’s a great die. I love the beveled edges. Of course your cards are wonderful, too.

And, I love what @Connie Nichol had to say- anti-wrinkle cream and bifocal blues. Perfect! The sketch and your interpretation of it is perfect and simply adorable! Makes me want to try it out now!
Bellaidea

I am very, very jealous that you had such a fun weekend, too! Now when are you coming to visit PA????? Thanks for the giggles this morning!

janine
May 23, 2012 at 11:44 pm (13 years ago)It’s the same thing where I work (and probably just about any place that anyone else works). All day long, all I see are the employees playing around with their dang phones (iPhones, Droids, you name it). Even the older (40 & up) crowd has turned into a bunch of teenagers when it comes to their mobile devices. As difficult as it might be for someone to believe, I don’t own one of these devices yet. I’m still old school with my 7 year old Sony Ericsson cell phone. I told myself that I wouldn’t upgrade until my phone kicked the bucket. Well, I must have one of the only (old) cell phones on the planet that just won’t break….no matter what I put it through…lol So, in the meantime, not only am I the most mobile device challenged person on the planet, I’m also the only one at my place of employment getting any work done….lol
Alison
May 24, 2012 at 1:03 am (13 years ago)Kelly, LOVED reading your post (and the post about Mexico–or should I say the hand?? though I loved the pic with her holding the camera. very unique!!) and your lo is so fun! Love the mixture of patterned papers, and the bows are such a neat touch!
Renee
May 24, 2012 at 4:46 am (13 years ago)HA ha ha, love the post Kelly!!! You did get some great pics out of it! This LO is awesome, love the details and the row of pics on the banner (great idea!) Good luck tearing your fam away from the I phone 🙂
kdgowdy
May 24, 2012 at 5:28 am (13 years ago)Great post & pics! I’m thinking your daughter has a great sense of humour like her mother! ps-LOVE MY iPHONE!
Roxanne
May 24, 2012 at 9:13 am (13 years ago)so funny! I love that layout with the photos and the glasses. It would be hilarious to surprise her with a full album of her phone pics!! 🙂
Lynn
May 24, 2012 at 2:02 pm (13 years ago)Kelly your stories are always so honest and humorous. We call my son’s i-phone his third arm. He can play basketball and ping pong and still doesn’t miss a text. I shake my head in wonder some days. I just giggled when I saw the photos in the bathroom. What girl hasn’t done that…I’m tempted!! Next time at Urban..we are going to do it, lol. Your layout is fabulous! I love all the details. I can’t wait for your kids to get older and sit down and look through their layouts.
Micupoftea~
May 25, 2012 at 1:06 am (13 years ago)Funny story, like the LO…bows are so creative and unique, Kelly! WHen my dd takes pics of herself they come out really nice, but anytime I’ve tried it myself my smile looks forced and I look terrible! lol. Enjoy the weekend with your family. My dd just finished her school year so we get to sleep in! xo
cnelson
May 25, 2012 at 6:41 am (13 years ago)haha! My daughter is the same…she doesn’t have an iphone, but is constantly taking pics (mostly of herself). She actually did take a photography class this year and is quite an amazing little photographer now. LOVE this post and LOVE the lo!!!
Michelle
May 26, 2012 at 5:13 am (13 years ago)OMG! I know I’ve said it a thousand times before but you really DO crack me up Sweetie! Thanks for the giggles this early in the AM! Glad to see that “The Hand” will at least take her own photos! All is not in vain {or should I say it IS when it comes to teengae girls …but at least their self photo obssession gives us ample scrapping material!LOL}I know , I know …I’m always threatening to have the kids ‘ cellphones surgically removed from theit fingertips. Altho I have to confesss that seeing all those awesome photo filters makes me wanna rush right out and buy an i- phone.
Sharon
May 26, 2012 at 11:24 am (13 years ago)Your posts always make me smile, Kelly!!!! I absolutley LOVE why you hate the i-phone!!!!! Love all of the photos your dd took and how there were FOUR good ones in the bunch! And the layout you made is absolutely amazing!!!!! As always, my friend! I hope you are having a good weekend!
ingrid
May 27, 2012 at 11:56 pm (13 years ago)hahaha..fun story and fabulous page Kelly! xxx
Charlotte Brochu
May 28, 2012 at 6:31 am (13 years ago)I laughed hysterically at your post! Our daughters really should meet and compare camera photos and apps! I don’t know where they find these things!
Cindy Gay
May 28, 2012 at 5:02 pm (13 years ago)Love the bow ties (& you got a good photo of her in the layout!) Also love the picture of you and your birthday flowers (if I remember right, I think your birthday is the same as my oldest……Have a great week Kelly!
Izzy Anderson
June 1, 2012 at 7:59 pm (13 years ago)You had me at that first photo. Oh my gosh. I totally get you on this. We went on a family trip to the beach with extended family and cousin A, then 14, had her phone in hand 24/7, texting away and taking pics. It was really sad to me. But, I love the way you turned your frustration into a very funny post and totally fab page. Such fun pops of color. I always love your posts and your work. 🙂
Alison
June 2, 2012 at 12:33 am (13 years ago)This is such a fantastic lo, Kelly! I love projects like this, I think its such a neat idea to document your year this way. I especially love that there’s journalling tags behind each month on your lo! Ingenious!!
Lee-Anne
June 2, 2012 at 7:34 am (13 years ago)I absolutely love this layout Kelly! What a great idea to scrapbook an entire year to remember in this way. You have a very handsome family.
cnelson
June 2, 2012 at 8:17 am (13 years ago)Absolutely FANTABULOUS!! LOOOOOOOOVE the design of this!
Sharon
June 2, 2012 at 8:26 am (13 years ago)Kelly!!!! This is so, so awesome! I love the entire project so much! Thank you for sharing this with us. I hope you are having a great weekend!
Cindy Gay
June 2, 2012 at 6:11 pm (13 years ago)A great “year in review” page.
Michelle
June 3, 2012 at 5:26 pm (13 years ago)I love year in review LOs! especially when I’m in it! LOL. Visiting you was certainly the highlight of my year last year!{ now its your turn to visit me!} This Lo certainly hits the nail on the head with the Simple Stories challenge, Kelly! I bet the ladies who attended your class at Urban absolutely loved this awesome LO!
Vicky Alberto
June 4, 2012 at 12:41 pm (13 years ago)very cleaver creation
Micupoftea~
June 5, 2012 at 11:51 pm (13 years ago)Fun trip! Love how you did the title, and LOVE that you used the old …ack! cant think of the name of it…the round thingy with pics in it. Seriously, it is the pits getting older! lol
Happy June:)
Izzy Anderson
June 6, 2012 at 5:46 am (13 years ago)Kelly, down South when we say “it’s that time of the month” we mean that Aunt Flo has come for a visit….But I figured you probably were not blogging about *that” though I have no doubt you would make it a very funny post and I was almost looking forward to reading it. LOL.
Onto your page. Well, it’s wonderful of course. I LOVE your title work: the way you did the count and the placement. All the little pennants peeking out are adorable and all your pics so sweet. Vacations like that always seem better remembered than they were at the time…… Although 7 days in Spain sounds wonderful to me right now. My family spent a summer in England (Dad was working there) when I was 16 and my brother was 12 and I am sure my mom has similar stories….What I remember about France was wanting to order French fries….and expecting them to completely wow me because, you know, we were in France and all….
Charlotte Brochu
June 6, 2012 at 5:54 am (13 years ago)You did a great take on the sketch! It’s hard to use that many photos on a layout and yours look fantastic! I think everyone who has kids remembers times like these while travelling. I missed the Jurassic Park ride at Universal Studios because my “then too young DD” didn’t want to go on it. Oh well…now it’s just another excuse why you and your DH need to go on a second honeymoon so you can see everything!
cnelson
June 6, 2012 at 6:48 am (13 years ago)Absolutely FABULOUS!! LOVE the design!!!
carlies
June 6, 2012 at 7:34 am (13 years ago)this is brilliant love everything about it
Miae
June 6, 2012 at 4:13 pm (13 years ago)Yep, that title caught my eye;) Though I figured it was something else you’d be writing about!! Gorgeous job of getting so many photos onto one layout…using the banners and circular picture thing-a-ma-bobs (I cannot remember what they’re called!) not only frames the photos well but helps move the eyes across the photos:) You are brave for taking the 3 to Europe but I’ve traveled with little ones too and I totally agree, I never regret it!
Michelle
June 6, 2012 at 6:50 pm (13 years ago)You might not be as young sweetie ..but you are still beautiful! Love your Lo Kelly. Great take on the sketch…still nice and clean looking despite all the photos! :). I don’t know what you were so worried about! You pulled it off spectacularly! Had a great laff at the thought of Hubby getting to go into the museum and you being stuck outside with the kids…you’re too nice…it would have been ME in the museum and ROB stuck outside haha!Love the way you did your title too!
Cindy Gay
June 6, 2012 at 7:04 pm (13 years ago)The view master reels and the design are great and I’m sure it was a trip to remember.
Trisha
June 7, 2012 at 3:55 am (13 years ago)Wow, Kelly!! Amazing job on your layout for 2011. Love the Simple Stories.

Connie N

Bellaidea
June 12, 2012 at 12:42 pm (13 years ago)Hi! I have to start I feel the same about orange:)But I love Webster`s pages and I aslo liked a lot this month sketch :), can you tell me where do you buy Magenta?I can not find it in any shop near by and have olnt some old paper from them.
Vicky Alberto
June 13, 2012 at 8:32 am (13 years ago)so refreshing – I just love your style!
Izzy Anderson
June 15, 2012 at 6:24 pm (13 years ago)Solid backsides, lol. I do love the new clean and simple Webster’s. You did a beautiful job with this collection. Love the pops of orange. They are perfect. The journaling is really cute. Such a sweet pic of BotF.
yyam
June 17, 2012 at 4:15 pm (13 years ago)Wow! Your layout is beautiful! Love the burst of colours that radiate happiness! 🙂
Wendy Rasbach
June 17, 2012 at 6:16 pm (13 years ago)What a fabulous way to incorporate the bingo cards and a whole year in review in a double pager. I really love this design and seeing all of those special pictures. 🙂
Michelle
June 18, 2012 at 7:31 pm (13 years ago)Love this bright sunshiny page kelly! Thanks for showing the close up of the sun…very cool effect with the paint and glitter! and I love how you did the title!
Sharon
June 21, 2012 at 3:23 am (13 years ago)Such an awesome and beautiful page, Kelly! It really makes me feel happy for summer!!!!! TFS, my dear friend!!!!!

Izzy Anderson
June 21, 2012 at 8:20 pm (13 years ago)Totally fab, as always. Aw, look at that crafty baby of the family! Your flowers turned out great. I love your pretty pink bow. My bows never turn out that nice. Maybe that should be your next tutorial. 🙂
Renee
June 22, 2012 at 5:10 am (13 years ago)This is a gorgeous LO,love all your fantastic details! HUGE congrats on your upcoming article! I have a feeling you’ll be writing a lot for them!

misty
June 29, 2012 at 2:34 pm (13 years ago)Congrats!!! Awesome sketch and layout! Those doubles totally intimidate me and you always make them look so easy.
kdgowdy
July 2, 2012 at 6:39 am (13 years ago)“SWEET” page! I worked on my version yesterday, happy with the results, although double pages take me out of my single page comfort zone! I will post soon!
kdgowdy
July 2, 2012 at 6:45 am (13 years ago)Love this layout…saw it in store when Connie & I took a little scrapbook road trip! Loving the viewfinders!
Cindy Gay
July 2, 2012 at 5:58 pm (13 years ago)Ahh, Kelly. . . the seed packs is such a great idea. (Love “Sweet William”) DQ did a great job with her layout and you did a great job with her hair. She looked great. Can’t wait for the layout on the big glasses!
Bellaidea
July 3, 2012 at 6:18 am (13 years ago)Kelly, very nice LO and nice story!:)
Renee
July 3, 2012 at 6:42 am (13 years ago)Ha you weren’t HIDEOUS!! We all looked so dated back then! You could have looked a thousand times worse! Your DQ looks stunning! It is amazing how much older kids seem nowadays isn’t it? LOVE your LO, the seed packet idea is awesome!
Izzy Anderson
July 3, 2012 at 9:55 am (13 years ago)Holy Cow. THAT is 9th grade? How times have changed. DQ sure is a stunner. Re: the other pics…..well, you gotta love that oval frame that doesn’t quite crop into the rectangle shape of the 7th grade portrait. 🙂 You look perfectly lovely and smart in your scarfs and cowl necks. Your layout is wonderful, as always. The seed packets are super cute. Fun idea.
cnelson
July 3, 2012 at 11:51 am (13 years ago)Love the pics of your daughter!! What a beauty! Love the lo she created! Love your lo too! You do need to create a lo with your old photos. You were far from hideous…you should see my pics from that time period.
Vicky Alberto
July 3, 2012 at 3:04 pm (13 years ago)your blog posts always me me smile/laugh 🙂

Your daughter photo is so beautiful! And wowza! Thank you for sharing your photos – I had those exact same glasses!!!! The bigger the better was the saying back then! And your dd created a beautiful layout, too – I see another scrapper in the family! Thank you so much for always putting a smile on my face when I visit your blog!!!!!

Michelle
July 4, 2012 at 4:49 pm (13 years ago)OMG! you haven’t changed a bit since school Kelly! Well….except for much smaller glasses of course! I think the idea for big ….bigger…biggest LO is an awesome idea and I’m looking forward to seeing it! Serena looked STUNNING and I’m so happy to see pics of her WITHOUT her hand covering up her gorgeous face!Some of your scrappy talent has definitely rubbed off on the child. Loved the tut for the tissue paper sun. great idea. I’ll be checking out that link too for those seed packets. Beautiful work as always dear friend!

July 5, 2012 at 10:55 pm (13 years ago)Great LO…like how you made the sun, Kelly. Haha…you crack me up…gotta say you are a brave woman to post your middle school pics and I love your idea for a LO based on your glasses. Tis the age, eh? Hair coloring? My dd also wanted to color her hair in 9th/10th grade to brunette, like mine, although she is a natural blonde. She switched back by Junior yr…lol. HUGS

Miae
July 17, 2012 at 10:15 pm (13 years ago)Wow Kelly, such a pretty page! It’s a lot of eye candy with those bright, fun colors, and crisp edges! Really well done! Hope you’re having a wonderful summer!
Miae
July 18, 2012 at 8:08 pm (13 years ago)Lots and lots of wonderful details on this page! There’s a sweet, homey feel to this page with that woven background and handmade fabric flowers and it certainly complements and precious photo!!
Renee
July 19, 2012 at 4:08 am (13 years ago)Oh boy I know what you mean about turning back time Kelly 🙁
I really love your LO, all the flowers and stickers are perfectly placed, and the woven mat is so suited for this precious pic! Great work as always hon 🙂
Connie
July 19, 2012 at 6:54 am (13 years ago)gorgeous layout, Kelly, especially love the weaving and what you did with the twine. And I know exactly what you mean about time and how rapidly our parents can age and have their health deteriorate. It’s good to capture the photo memories because often your kids will not remember when their grandpa was vigorous and fun to play with.
Charlotte Brochu
July 19, 2012 at 8:18 am (13 years ago)What a gorgeous, fun and sweet layout! Love all the close ups of the details. The woven mat is really a great idea and looks fantastic on this layout! Hope you are having a great summer!
Luz Maria Bruna
July 19, 2012 at 8:00 pm (13 years ago)Woow woow Kelly this is AMAZING girl!!
Michelle
July 20, 2012 at 8:43 am (13 years ago)very cool Kelly. Love the woven photo mat! very creative. Love those denim flowers… I just threw an old pair of jeans in the laundryroom waste basket …think I’ll go dig them out and drag out my tattered flowers die!!!!
madscrappertoo

Cindy Gay
July 21, 2012 at 6:00 pm (13 years ago)Love the buttons and picture with your Dad. I remember the very emotional page you did about him in Somerset Memories.
Lisa
July 23, 2012 at 9:04 pm (13 years ago)Awww Grandpa’s are the beat!!! This page is just wonderful with the different paper patterns. You have scrapped these beautifully and love that pic!!
Alison
July 28, 2012 at 12:17 am (13 years ago)Oh dear…that’ll be me in another 13 years or so…should i stock up now??
Jani Lewis
July 28, 2012 at 12:40 am (13 years ago)LOL!
Renee
July 28, 2012 at 6:08 am (13 years ago)Oh the things I’m sure you could come up with to pay them back Kelly!!! Good luck!! I’m giggling right now, but also kind of shivering since I know I’m in for the same thing in about 8 years when mine becomes a “tween”!!!!
Shona
July 28, 2012 at 8:55 am (13 years ago)LMAO you crack me up and I remember all of that LOL!…love the hair pick hahahahaha OMG I still have mine from the 80s too hehe.
Lee-Anne
July 28, 2012 at 9:00 am (13 years ago)I totally get it! My daughter was the messiest make up person alive. But now she lives up near Edmonton and I don’t get to see her much. It is bittersweet to see them grow up and I know that they will be having their own kids someday and then they will get it all back. LOL.
Lee-Anne
July 28, 2012 at 9:46 am (13 years ago)I love your photo mat and the flowers. Such a nice layout that gives the “homemade” feel. Love your photo too.
Sandi Cl~
July 28, 2012 at 5:03 pm (13 years ago)Oh, I miss those days! They are wonderfully grown woman now but I still miss having their messes around! Thanks for the laugh!
Cindy Gay
July 28, 2012 at 7:10 pm (13 years ago)My BOF (a boy) and I shared a bathroom. He was a clean freak (took at least 2 showers a day). One day I fell getting out of the shower trying to step over…………….17 bottles of shampoos and body wash…………and less than 1/2 of those were mine.
After he got his own apartment I left some of his body wash in that shower thinking he’d be here to take a shower every now and then. It was a year later I got rid of it. Kind of sad. . . but he’s only 3 miles away. Love your story Kelly.
Sandra D
July 29, 2012 at 6:37 pm (13 years ago)Funny story but another showing of what a good mom you are! Keep sharing the funny stories – we love them.
kdgowdy
July 29, 2012 at 9:15 pm (13 years ago)OMG!!!! You make me laff!!! When you talked about the hotel soaps your hubby saves…US TOO! I swear we have years worth of soaps and shampoos! Although I don’t want silent revenge by using all Taylor’s manly scents, he DOES have a drugstore worth of products for his 17 year old body! Keep us smiling! Write on!
Jody
July 30, 2012 at 8:09 am (13 years ago)This was soooo funny! Great post! Hope you enjoyed your bath and pampering!

Michelle
August 1, 2012 at 9:41 am (13 years ago)Oh you crack me up Kelly! I feel your pain! Nothing I own is safe from Chelsea…the ultimate revenge is when she has it stashed in her room and I have to go in and wake her up to find it…especially when I have to work and its HER day off! Serves her right! LOL You are always so entertaining dear friend! I guess we might as well laugh at all this…it beats crying!
Sandra D
August 2, 2012 at 3:28 pm (13 years ago)I love the combination of colours and different types of elements you have combined.
Michelle
August 2, 2012 at 5:47 pm (13 years ago)gorgeous Kelly! I can see your inner VanGogh breaking free!Don’t you just love the freedom of doing “whatever”? I think you have inspired me to start!
misty
August 2, 2012 at 6:29 pm (13 years ago)I have 3 journals…I’ve managed to do 1 page! This is gorgeous! You really can do anything, you blow me away my friend! Oh and I love that layout too!
Cindy Gay

Izzy Anderson
August 3, 2012 at 4:03 am (13 years ago)I loved the peek into your process. Beautiful work. You’re so creative, Kelly.
Izzy Anderson
August 3, 2012 at 4:08 am (13 years ago)LOL. Yes, time for a little revenge! The soap comparison really made me laugh and the poor broken hairbrush they left you with. Aw. Great post, Kelly. So funny and true. You just have to laugh!
Izzy Anderson
August 3, 2012 at 4:12 am (13 years ago)That’s such a wonderful photo, Kelly. It really made me smile. Then I got to the end of your post and nearly cried! You’re such a great writer. Beautiful work. Love your twine flower. So fun! I love this SS collection!
marilyn
August 3, 2012 at 7:01 am (13 years ago)So much fun. I am using an altered library book as an art journal and just now getting started in art journaling. LOVE the creativity!
Sharon Fritchey
August 4, 2012 at 3:23 am (13 years ago)I have been wanting to start an art journal for awhile now, Kelly, but just haven’t gotten the time! Your page is an inspiration to us all! Thank you for sharing with us how you made it, and for sharing the other blogs! I am going to check them out!

Charlotte Brochu
August 5, 2012 at 5:49 am (13 years ago)I feel your pain! LOL! It did improve significantly when DD1 and DD2 moved, however they still visit frequently and “borrow” things! Every now and then I go to their places to see what I can find of mine and return it home!
Charlotte Brochu
August 5, 2012 at 6:01 am (13 years ago)I can see how the freedom of an art journal would be very liberating. You have done such a wonderful page! I love looking at these kinds of pages. So unique to each person.

August 7, 2012 at 3:01 pm (13 years ago)So many great ideas Kelly! I love that you share your process while creating. I don’t know how many times I haven’t had the right color embellishment and just didn’t think to alter it! DUH! Thanks for the reminder that all those bottles of mists, sprays and inks aren’t just to look at! LOL!
Sandi Cl~
August 7, 2012 at 3:52 pm (13 years ago)Great page and lots of wonderful detail .. as always!
Cindy Gay
August 7, 2012 at 6:11 pm (13 years ago)I love the picture of your daughter! Great job Mom! All the altering is well done Kelly! Thanks for the visit and comment on the vintage scrapbook pages. I too cut pictures from magazines and pasted them into scrapbooks…..most of mine though were “celebrities”. Have a good evening!
Sandra D
August 7, 2012 at 6:59 pm (13 years ago)Another beautiful layout filled with your special touches. Your tutorial should be titled: “Don’t worry if the colour of your embellishment isn’t right – you can change it!” You have included so many ways to use the Distress Ink – Tim would be thrilled.
Michelle
August 7, 2012 at 8:46 pm (13 years ago)Wow Kelly. Loooove all the altering tips. I don’t know why I don’t think of doing that kind of stuff more often! Love all your close ups too. Great page!

Love the way the photo of your DD with the white background so all the focus is on her face…so pretty. My DD will be starting high School next year and I’m feeling a little in shock right now that this is the last year of middle school. I have 9 more days til school starts here and I want to just have a few more morning of calm before I have the crazy morning routine start again. I hope your DD has a wonderful year! Hugs, Lisa
Michelle
August 27, 2012 at 9:53 am (13 years ago)OOOO Gorgeous mini Kelly!DQ looked so elegant and grown up. A beautiful lady…just like her mama!

Miae
August 27, 2012 at 12:18 pm (13 years ago)That looked like some party! Well your daughter is beautiful and you must be so proud of her! That mini album is a beautifully done, precious gift..she must’ve loved it! Your feather looked very cool too…who knew tissue paper could be so versatile? Thank you so much for all your visits and wonderful comments on my blog Kelly, they always bring a smile to my face (and thanks for the encouragement on the Faber Castell DT!) Have a great week!

Izzy Anderson
August 30, 2012 at 4:22 am (13 years ago)Congrats, Kelly. I know your class – and the album – will be amazing. I love the sneaks. Sure wish I could be your student. I’d love to learn at the hand of a master. 🙂 G45 knew what it was doing, sending you that package and sponsoring the event!
Izzy Anderson
August 30, 2012 at 4:35 am (13 years ago)I remember those gorgeous photos of your daughter. I must say that I looked NOTHING like that when I finished 9th grade. Nope. But I think I remember now that you posted your own 9th grade pic in the original post. Yup, that’s what I’m talking about! Style, baby!
Your album is just scrumptious. You have so many great details and beautiful touches. I love the idea of a vellum (or glassine) envelope at the end to hold the extra photos. Must remember that for my own albums. The feather is so cute and I so want to make one now. The bird – and the window! – are totally awesome. I hope you sent images of this project over to Prima and posted it on their FB wall. 🙂
It’s amazing to me that a 9th-grade farewell party has morphed into an almost-prom these days. Had to chuckle at the spray tan request. Oh, kids today. I feel so old!
Alia
September 2, 2012 at 1:18 pm (13 years ago)Very cute LO! Love all your techniques! 🙂

Uh, I think I’m headed over to Unity…ciao!
Sharon Fritchey

What I love about your layout: Everything!!!! But I especially like the stamped camera and filmstrip on the transparency, and the little veneer people look amazing!!!!!! Your dd is just lovely! TFS!!!!
Izzy Anderson
September 3, 2012 at 3:44 am (13 years ago)These photos of BabyOfTheFamily are so sweet and happy. She is just beautiful. Your page is remarkable. I have to say that stamps are my least used supply. I LOVE what you did here with them though and must drag mine out. You do love to enable me! That was such a clever idea to stamp the film strip and camera on a transparency. I do think I need that washi stamp set! Everything works together so well on your page. I love the potty people too. I have those and several other of the SC veneers. They are so fun and versatile. Brilliant idea to snap that frame apart to make quote brackets. I love when you include little tips like that! Great work, as always. Terrific page.
Renee
September 3, 2012 at 4:44 am (13 years ago)As the kids say Kelly – “This is the BOMB!” HA – well, hopefully they still do 😉 I have never successfully stamped on a LO, I just find it to be such a challenge! And I agree with you about the SC paper and the graphic look – I just bought the Abroad pack the other day, it’s my very first from that company!! I feel like you’ve thrown down the gauntlet and now I have no choice but to face my fears as well! Thanks for always inspiring 🙂
cnelson
September 3, 2012 at 8:55 am (13 years ago)This could not be CUTER! LOVE it soooooo much! AMAZING stamping!
Roxanne
September 3, 2012 at 9:01 am (13 years ago)This is one of my favourites of yours. You totally fooled me that graphic prints scare you. Thanks for the inspiration!!
Sue Sykes
September 3, 2012 at 12:41 pm (13 years ago)I love everything about this – the photos, the stamping, the colour palette… beautiful! Great job with the sketch, too! 🙂
Sandra D
September 3, 2012 at 1:06 pm (13 years ago)Oh Kelly – this is why you are so successful! You take a problem and face it head on until you have it completely licked. I love this layout and your clever use of those fantastic stamps. You once shared with me that you are not a fan of papers with white backgrounds and you used those too! What a great way of capturing your dd’s personality. This layout is a winner – congrats.
Lynn
September 3, 2012 at 1:48 pm (13 years ago)WOW, wow, wow!!! Gosh girl, you continue to amaze me every time! I love all the stamping. I was looking at the film strip…going “how did she do that”, and then I see your tutorials. I know it takes so much time to share every step of your layout, but I know I sure appreciate it. You did fabulous with all those things that make “you run” lol. ( I run from stripes, lol)
Michelle
September 4, 2012 at 5:53 pm (13 years ago)i hope you didn’t sniff too much ? LOL…I’m with you tho… I love the smell of Stazon! Awesome Lo Kelly! I love it!!!! So many awesome ways you used the stamps! Very creative for a so called ” non – stamper” { I think you can safely drop that title now Kelly! }You ARE a stamper!!!!:) I can see I’m gonna have to go get these stamps… I especially love the film strip one! Beautiful photos od BOF…she’s looking so grown up …sniff sniff…
Vicky Alberto

September 10, 2012 at 7:22 am (13 years ago)Nothing like sniffing ‘stuff’ to make creating a lot more…creative! I love your step by step instructions, even though I’m mostly unfamiliar with the terminology and products. I’m more of a fabric artist as you saw from my blog…but had to come back and take another look here after your lovely compliment. I think it’s awesome to begin with a layout that you then make your own. Yours turned out wonderful and is a great way to capture this special time in your daughter’s life.
Lynn
September 10, 2012 at 11:51 am (13 years ago)I was in awe of this layout when I saw it at Urban, and am now even more in awe when I see all the fine details explained. I’m in LOVE with those sunflowers. Your attention to every little details shows. This is a fabulous layout Kelly!
Charlotte Brochu

Paula
September 10, 2012 at 2:58 pm (13 years ago)As always, a wonderful job Kelly. I saw this at Urban and LOVED how the sunflowers look. I may have to find some sunflowers to take pics of the kids with just so I can use this technique on a page!
Robbie
September 10, 2012 at 3:03 pm (13 years ago)Wow!! What a fabulous layout and your attention to detail is over the top!! LOVE how you did everything and shared all the techniques! Fantastic work!!
Michelle

Michelle
September 18, 2012 at 7:55 pm (12 years ago)Well Kelly, I guess we are all guilty of whining occassionally ….our lives are certainly easier than our forefathers { errr…foremothers}. We do still have our own challenges raising kids these days that they could never have imagined. Beautiful tribute to a beautiful woman. How fortunate that you had the opportunity to share all these memories and photos with her!
Lee-Anne
September 18, 2012 at 9:31 pm (12 years ago)This is beautiful Kelly! What a nice tribute to such a strong woman.

September 19, 2012 at 3:52 am (12 years ago)Such an amazing and wonderful story, Kelly! She was and is an inspiration to us all! I am so happy that you shared her legacy with us – otherwise I would never have known about her. To me, this is what scrapping is all about! Thank you, Kelly!!!!!!!
Renee

Lynn
September 19, 2012 at 7:11 am (12 years ago)What a beautiful reminder that when life gets us stressed we can remember her story. I can’t imagine all the trials she went through in her life. To lose your children and to keep on going, that is one brave woman. I’m in awe of her life. You showcased her photo brilliantly with all your beautiful details, yet kept the focus on her photo. Thank you for sharing her beautiful story and your layout with us.
Roxanne
September 19, 2012 at 7:59 am (12 years ago)LOVE this layout!!! What an incredible story. I’m so glad you got to know her and get those little stories that go along with old photos. Sometimes it is those little stories that get forgotten to be retold.

September 22, 2012 at 9:54 am (12 years ago)thanks for sharing this Kelly! You are so right….as a mother, sometimes we get a little frustrated with all the roles we have to do…but we have it so easy really. I thoroughly enjoyed reading all about your husband’s amazing grand-mother….and what a treasure of heritage photos you have! LOVE the work you did on such a beautiful tribute page to “Oma”!
Juliana
September 24, 2012 at 6:25 am (12 years ago)WOW! THis is gorgeous in more ways than one Kelly! I love the story you shared about her and I hope you will be sharing more of those photos on layouts soon!
Sherry
September 25, 2012 at 8:17 pm (12 years ago)Amazing life story. To have such loss in her life, her heart must of been ripped apart. You honoured her beautifully!! The layout is gorgeous as all your work. Your xmas cards you have in your gallery are absolutely stunning!! What a special gift in receiving one of your beautiful works of art, that delivery christmas cheer.
I didn’t even realize you have been teaching at The Urban scrapbook, I’m surprised I haven’t run into more often!… I’ll have to check out the list of your classes next time I’m in. Great to finally meet you. Maybe we’ll run into each other again someday.
Take care. And thanks for sharing this amazing life story.

Michelle
September 27, 2012 at 9:08 am (12 years ago)Can’t believe six days went so bloody FAST! We never got to do half the things you wanted to do { puffins, whales, lighthouses etc lol} I was sooooo happy to have you visit Nfld Kelly. Of course this only means that you have to come back again to see all the things we never got a chance to do on this trip. So now I guess its back to Skyping 🙁 . But I’m already making plans to come to Edmonton for next year’s Carnival! It was my pleasure to Screech you in…and you were a wonderful sport about it! Great big hugs!
Lee-Anne
September 27, 2012 at 9:08 am (12 years ago)Looks like you had a fabulous time. I lived in Fort McMurray for 5 years and met a lot of Newfoundlanders. Some of the nicest people I have met and would love to visit there. So nice for you to have such a great friendship through meeting with another scrapbooker online. Beautiful photos!
Connie N
September 27, 2012 at 9:31 am (12 years ago)reading this just brought the hugest smile to my face!!! A most excellent adventure!!! I think many of us are envious we weren’t there too, but maybe some day……… there would have to be puffins though. 😉

Jennifer Barnes
September 27, 2012 at 7:08 pm (12 years ago)It was awesome to meet you! It was like meeting a famous singer for me to have a class taught by a published designer! I can now say I scrapbooked with a pro! lol! It was the first Screech In that I ever saw and I got it all in pictures to scrapbook! Hope to see you again sometime! Happy Scrapbooking!
Micupoftea~
September 27, 2012 at 7:57 pm (12 years ago)Oh, what fun! Looks like a treasured friendship, creativity and fun all in a scenic setting! I am so glad you had the opportunity to go and enjoy yourself. Hmm, kissing a cod I could handle, but I think I’d pass on the screeching. haha~
Enjoy the end of Sept,

I haven’t seen you for a while at sb.com. so I decided to check out your blog because I miss you!! I will be a follower! The blog stuff is kind of new to me, and I have been toying with the idea of starting one. Anyway, I love the work you did with your heritage page, and the earlier autumnal post is fabulous too!

October 2, 2012 at 5:50 am (12 years ago)Kelly, so funny that you should talk about the changes in BOF. Mine was exactly the same way. She seemed to literally grow up overnight. I’m still not sure how it happened. Anyways, love your layouts and thanks for sharing the inpiration from some friends too!
francie
October 2, 2012 at 6:16 am (12 years ago)Hello, Kelly – I said that I would hop over to your blog, and here I am.

I will stop by again, another time, to say hello. Have a creative year. Hugs, Fran (Quick Silver)

October 19, 2012 at 4:52 am (12 years ago)These turned out great, Kelly. I really like the design of both. I love when you point out the details and little tips, like outlining titles with a marker. I always learn something new here! I haven’t used FP in a long time either, but I just got The Good Life and am anxious to play. It looks really fun.

Izzy Anderson
November 16, 2012 at 2:03 am (12 years ago)Wow, those photos are fabulous. You captured him beautifully. He is one handsome boy and I love that he has a big heart and big dreams too.

Izzy Anderson
November 16, 2012 at 2:09 am (12 years ago)So many wonderful details in that album! Love the cheesecloth clouds, especially. You have such great techniques and fun tips like using a heat gun to soften and mold the bat wings. I always learn something here! Love your ideas and the whole album.
Fun pics of the kiddos. Got a kick from the 50s waitress with the cell phone tucked into her sock!

November 28, 2012 at 8:52 pm (12 years ago)Gosh girl, you just can’t make a regular card now can you? lol. These are amazing up close. So many techniques…I’m in awe!
Sharon Fritchey
November 28, 2012 at 8:58 pm (12 years ago)You absolutely AMAZE me, Kelly! Each card is an awesome and beautiful little work of art in and of itself. My mom and dad always took us to see the Nutcracker, or we went to see it at “Symphony Hall” in Allentown, PA, so you really brought back some great memories for me! I love them all, but i think the one of Clara holding the nutcracker is my favorite!!! And you showed us how you made them, too! I agree with Lynn – you can’t make a “regular” card, can you????? LOL!!!

Connie
November 29, 2012 at 11:47 am (12 years ago)love them all, but I think I love the winter wonderland card with the three ballerinas the bestest!! BTW, I have the same problem with blogger rotating my photos – I had read that it was a Canon thing, and the solution is to open your files and save them as a *.gif instead of a jpg. Gif files always seem to upload and display correctly.
Lorena
December 14, 2012 at 10:59 pm (12 years ago)I’ve had the same problem with rotating photos too – and I have a Canon – yup, confirmed it’s a Blogger/Canon problem, and my solution was indeed to save as a .gif

Love that you showed me so many of your tips and techniques. I still struggle a bit with paper and embossing powders and glue. Don’t know why…but it’s not easy for me…but you make it look like I can do it with all your great pictures and how-to’s! Thanks!

December 3, 2012 at 3:44 pm (12 years ago)The green totally jumped out at me from this collection Kelly! Who the heck would think to put green with winter …but boy, does it work. Gorgeous take on this month’s sketch…that’s it … I gotta gp play with this new sketch.Soooo cool how you added the tiles to the title piece and love how it echos the angles of the banners behind the photo. Home run my friend!
Lee-Anne Thornton
December 3, 2012 at 5:22 pm (12 years ago)I totally love this layout. The colours are so refreshing for winter and I love that snowflake rosette die from Tim Holtz and the way you placed the mosaic tiles on the title. Awesome job! Love the sketch too 🙂 .

December 4, 2012 at 9:04 am (12 years ago)I so love your projects and the stories behind them. I love all your details and the close ups. Your techniques astound me. I miss those days too of going to the park in winter, skating, tobogganing, all the fun kids things we did. Now..I can maybe catch them running to their cars in winter! Maybe if we hid money in the snowbanks we could encourage them to get out and play in the snow!!!
Sandra D
December 4, 2012 at 9:39 am (12 years ago)What a beautiful & fresh layout! The green background works so well with the blue paper and really accents your daughter’s rosy cheeks. I have to say that I would rather be inside, looking at pictures of snow, than being outside in it.
Miae
December 4, 2012 at 12:29 pm (12 years ago)No snow for us but lot’s of rain! The concept of snow and playing outside still seems so fun and memorable! You page is so wintry fun! Those snowflakes are fantastic!!

December 12, 2012 at 4:03 pm (12 years ago)awwww…such a sweet story Kelly. Don’t ya hate it when you imagine these big “Hallmark moments’ [to quote you] nly to have the reality of it fizzle. lol Glad you at least got your moment in the spotlight with the sweater… I’m sure your grandchild will appreciate it. LOVE the string of Christmas lights on this and brilliant idea to cut up the flowers to make the tree and hearts! Your creativity never fails to amaze me , my friend. I guess I won’t hold my breath for a hand knit gift from you this Christmas , will I?
Miae
December 12, 2012 at 8:48 pm (12 years ago)Well I’m glad you got photos of BG wearing your sweater in the end! That is a great story too…your embellies here rock..the bulbs, the tree, the hearts…so creative! Well done festive page Kelly!

It’s such a wonderful memory and funny now to reflect upon. Great layout. You are the embellie master. Flower petals as trees and hearts? Genius! Love the Christmas lights across the top too.

December 27, 2012 at 2:43 pm (12 years ago)I love your cards (both trees) and the crackers. I made those for Bob’s Mom’s 80th birthday…(saved toilet paper cardboard rolls). She was a “Maxine” and loved Crabby Maxine, so I was able to use some of the Hallmark goodies for that.
Happy New Year Kelly!

January 2, 2013 at 7:51 pm (12 years ago)Very lovely layout Kelly! I have very strong feelings about Winter too. I just can’t seem to embrace the snow and cold. If this first page is any indication, your album is going to be outstanding! All the best to you in the New Year!

Sharon Fritchey
January 5, 2013 at 4:02 am (12 years ago)Oh Kelly! I can’t even tell you how much I love this page. Your mom is just beautiful and reminds me of a photo of my mom with her skis! Yes, she skied and I didn’t know it either. She saved her ski pants – they are amazing. And back to your layout – it is absolutely gorgeous. I can’t wait to see more from you throughout 2013, my friend!!! Have a very happy NEW YEAR with that wonderful family of yours!

Izzy Anderson
January 6, 2013 at 11:03 am (12 years ago)This is so pretty, Kelly. Love the color scheme. That pic is awesome. Your mom sure looks dressed up for a skating outing. Ah, things were different back then. How fun that the pic told you something new about her. This is going to be one amazing album. THAT, I know for sure! Happy new year!
Micupoftea~
January 6, 2013 at 11:45 pm (12 years ago)What a wonderful LO, Kelly! I love all the blue. It’s funny, but when I first looked at the blue notched strips that are striped I thought they were corrugated- the stripes give that illusion. You and your mom look alike, I bet you’ve heard that before. The glitter adds pretty sparkle and the idea to use a photo TAKEN in January is clever. HAPPY 2013, friend 🙂
Shawn
Lynn
January 7, 2013 at 5:58 pm (12 years ago)I love the photos of Drama Queen and the adorable layout! I think it’s just perfect!! My daughter doesn’t want me to ever scrap her photos either..and I say the same thing “oops” lol. Love your take on the sketch!!
Cindy Gay
January 7, 2013 at 6:34 pm (12 years ago)Great photos Kelly. (and I love the hand photo too!)

Miae
January 7, 2013 at 10:55 pm (12 years ago)No, not too cutsie…very cool! She will come to appreciate it later, I’m sure 😉 You did so well with the sketch, it’s a perfect one for getting in all those great pics!

5. WHY am I still sitting her on the computer and not in my freaking scrapbook room!>?!>! :)) Hugs

Cindy Gay
January 15, 2013 at 6:41 pm (12 years ago)Sledding pictures are hard but you got a great “cool” picture of your daughter. Neat design too!
Michelle

Deidre Clarke
January 16, 2013 at 5:47 am (12 years ago)Lovely! This is a fantastic way to use up all those items left over on that sticker sheet, cause there are always leftovers!!
Sharon Fritchey

WillieburgScrapper
January 21, 2013 at 4:26 pm (12 years ago)The old school tools are the best really. I have three different brand circle cutters right now and they are all too complicated to use when I’m in a hurry- I just have my husband cut circles out with his protractor and kraft knife skills- not even kidding. I swung by when I saw your blog on the WeR Memory Keepers post- good luck- I think you’d be a great feature! LOVE this page- the circles with layered details make for a fantastic page.
Izzy Anderson
January 21, 2013 at 5:21 pm (12 years ago)Truly, I could not love this more. This grid design is right up my alley. LOVE the negative punches, decorated so adorably, and your cool vellum snowflakes. Your winter scene is perfect. Sweet pic of BabyOfTheFamily. And, hey, she even smiled for you!
carlies
January 26, 2013 at 1:51 pm (12 years ago)So gorgeous love the design with cicles

Shona
January 29, 2013 at 2:44 pm (12 years ago)lol love the comment about the hubbys noticing the dif shades of white hehe. of course he wont LOL! this is gorgeous

January 29, 2013 at 6:45 pm (12 years ago)Awww… awesome card Kelly! Thank you so much for playing along and for linking me up! No.. I seriously doubt Hubby will notice the very subtle shading…isn’t it amazing how many shades of WHITE there are???and yes…perhaps you should send that card to Nfld….I’d really appreciate it { the cod fish however would only get it wet…he has no appreciation for paper art at all… the neanderthal! } lol..oh yah…thanks for pointing out those SU dies that I don’t have …and now HAVE to have! 🙂
Sandra D
January 29, 2013 at 7:56 pm (12 years ago)This is a very pretty card Kelly. You have done a great job of showing that a great valentine doesn’t have to include red or pink.
Micupoftea~
January 30, 2013 at 12:47 am (12 years ago)Great card, Kelly! I really like the texture and design of the all-white card…it is elegant. Your LO is so fun- looks like you had a fabulous time with Michelle. Enjoy the end of Jnaury and try to stay warm,

Izzy Anderson
February 15, 2013 at 5:52 am (12 years ago)Kelly, your layout is so sweet. Love the way you used the garland, anchored with the big butterfly. That photo makes me smile. The ’80s look + your hubby’s expression. LOL.
I watched your video. I am not a scrappy video watcher so I don’t have anything to compare it too. You did a great job. Congrats on your first one! It was fun to hear your voice! For a critique: after the music started, it felt like a long 6 or so minutes with no narration. I would have liked a speeded up section, then paused for narration on why or how you did something, then speeded up section, then paused for narration, etc. Also, I am not sure: did the video include everything you did? I think so? I would be tempted to edit out parts like opening the garland package.
Of course, you work is wonderful, as always. My next task is to figure out how one subscribes to a youtube channel….. I so want to take a class from you and this will be the next best thing. I hope you have a wonderful Valentine’s Day. xoxo

February 15, 2013 at 7:54 am (12 years ago)Kelly! This was fabulous!!!!! Loved watching your process, looks exactly similar to what I’ve been doing – just playing for fun, and trying to get myself back into the swing of scrapbooking vs cardmaking! This really is exceptional and I love that collection too, especially the paper garland! Looking forward to more videos – and the sped up version is perfect by the way, definitely don’t get bored 🙂

February 25, 2013 at 6:44 am (12 years ago)I love this blog post. Your layout is simply stunning. I haven’t reached the big “50” yet but it’s getting really really close for me! I certainly never would have thought you were 50 so I feel safe in saying that you don’t look 50, don’t feel 50, don’t act 50, therefore you’re not 50! haha
Sandi Smith
February 25, 2013 at 12:35 pm (12 years ago)Wow…you have done beautiful thing with those gorgeous papers…love them both!

March 1, 2013 at 3:02 am (12 years ago)Your placement and selection of embellishments is always superb – you always now just the right touch! My fav part is that you used gold in your layout – not a colour that you see a lot – it works perfectly with your photo! What a precious memory to showcase!

The first one is so beautiful, and the photo of your mom and her cousin is a real treasure. You made it even more of a treasure by scrapping it to perfection. What a fun title. Your second page – well – it’s just fabulous. I am loving that photo of your cousin – such a cutie pie! You used these products to perfection. And your third layout of your mom is totally fabulous. I love her dress, too. So pretty. I wish our mom’s had saved more of their old clothes. You used the graphic 45 collection beautifully. Thanks for sharing your creations with us, Kelly!

Maurise Gelman
April 1, 2013 at 11:28 am (12 years ago)LOL @ BOF! She must be that nimble to be able to tape those mosquitoes right there. If I were her, I could’ve instinctively smacked those mosquitoes! Anyway, you can use essential oils such as lemons, oranges, mints, etc around your home to keep insects away.

May 14, 2013 at 2:36 pm (12 years ago)Kelly, this is another gorgeous layout! Love the words of wisdom and how the glitter adds another dimension of texture to the page. Sometimes it takes a village (and a ranch) to create a layout.
Sandi Cl~
May 14, 2013 at 7:33 pm (12 years ago)What a fab page .. along with some help from a few scrappy friends and a few feathered friends! That Ranch looks so inviting!

May 15, 2013 at 7:35 am (12 years ago)I would look at that sketch and not have a clue what to do! Wow, you really pulled this off. Love all the quotes in the middle with the pretty photos on the side. As always, you have some fun techniques. Your stories made me smile! Baby of the Family is sure growing up!
Izzy Anderson
May 15, 2013 at 7:39 am (12 years ago)I love seeing your heritage pages. That earring as a flower center was inspired and wow, how gorgeous. I always get such good ideas from your work. The molding paste flowers are just exquisite! I love the fun scene on the Easter page. Beautiful work, all.
Izzy Anderson
May 15, 2013 at 7:44 am (12 years ago)You have the BEST photos. I adore the pic of your mom and friends on the bicycles built for two. They do know how to have fun! And the bird photos are just exquisite. Even though you didn’t take them, I admire your good taste in using them! Love all the details, textures and layers on your bird page. Those feathers rock!

I thought the same thing about the turkeys – did she walk up and pull a feather out?? Of course she didn’t LOL 😉 Dumpster diving for embellies is hilarious too ;0)

It is hard, and yes things change, but you know, it wasn’t as bad as I thought it was going to be. I love the photo of you and the kids! What a good looking bunch you are!
Renee
June 6, 2013 at 6:29 am (12 years ago)Definitely a tragedy and such an unfair part of life.. My daughter is only 6 and I’m already wishing she would slow down and stay my baby. Everyday I notice some new independent streak and it breaks my heart 🙁 Hugs to you

I always say it is my last visit but then I break down and go again. I lost count at around 45 times. Always something new to see or a great show to take in. It is also really amazing to look back at the pictures I took of my first visit in Vegas, hardly any of the casinos still stand. LOL! Anyway great blog post Kelly I enjoyed reading it.

Sandra
June 18, 2014 at 9:33 am (11 years ago)Wow, Kelly! This is one of my favourite posts ever. The blue cardstock reminds me of the big Alberta summer sky and the chicken wire stencil lends the perfect homespun accent. The photos perfectly captured all the fun of a family reunion, although most families can’t boast of a horseshoe-tossing nun. Well-done!
Gloria Moore
June 19, 2014 at 8:56 am (11 years ago)I was trying to find the Father’s Day card with the glitter. I thought it was fabulous and never thought of using foam tape for glitter. I love this idea.

Thank you very much for your lovely comment today, dear Kelly. It warms my heart to hear about young folks have a vintage loving soul. My own passion for the past took root in early childhood and I began wearing vintage fashions at age 15. It’s never too young to start! 🙂

Sandi Smith
July 16, 2014 at 9:01 am (11 years ago)Best of luck to Serena. I too am battling extreame hearing loss and Cochlear implants may a part of my future if my hearing continues to worsen. I am sure she will do fine!
Asia King
July 16, 2014 at 9:02 am (11 years ago)I can’t believe what your beautiful girl and your whole family must have been going through. I will be thinking of you guys tomorrow and in the following months, and I’m sure Serena will be enjoying all the beautiful sounds of the world again before too long! x

Lynne Joncas
July 16, 2014 at 3:04 pm (11 years ago)Kelly, I’ve seen my father, an aunt and an uncle gain their hearing and their lives back after cochlear implant surgery; progressive hearing loss runs rampant through our family and several more of us will be looking into the surgery when our hearing reaches that point of loss. My dad could make out words immediately after the implant was turned on, but that’s not always the case.My aunt and uncle both took a little longer but my uncle in particular now has excellent hearing. Your daughter will be so glad she had it done; I pray all goes well for her and that she gets the best possible results. Hugs!
Deby
July 16, 2014 at 7:38 pm (11 years ago)Beautiful story! My Grandson received his first implant after he turned 1 and the other war was done the following year. The Miracle of science.
Katherine “Kat or Kate” Blue
July 16, 2014 at 9:14 pm (11 years ago)Prayers for a successful surgery today! Each CI journey is different yet we are all still connected in some way. … it was wonderful that you scrapbooked this part of her journey, I hope to go back and do that for my sons scrapbook one day; its been a bit painful even though he has come a long way. He just had the 2nd one done in 2013 and it was amazing. Thanks for sharing your story, it truly helps others 🙂
Patty Rogers
July 17, 2014 at 12:23 am (11 years ago)Kelly, I am so happy for your family and especially Serena! My hope and prayers will be with you all as this miracle of hearing returns to Serena’s life. May this be a perfect solution for her. God bless the Klapstein family!

Stacey Vitale
July 18, 2014 at 4:08 am (11 years ago)Kelly, that is awesome! You will be so happy that you persued this for Serena. My daughter has bilateral implants. She is six years old. She got her first implant at three and second at four. She started repeating ling sounds the day of activation. Serena will do well since she has had stimulation to her right ear with hearing aids. Take it one day at a time. Wishing you and Serena the best always! Here is to a new life for your princess!

October 16, 2014 at 9:53 am (10 years ago)Hi there fellow Canadian! I found you through your post on Julie’s blog. I wanted to know about those Inca Gold medium and guess what? you did an example of it and I was so pleased to now know about what it’s like. A friend has a business out of her home and she has lots of wonderful colours of the medium and I have been tempted, but didn’t know exactly what it was like. Thanks Kelly for introducing me to it, and you to me 🙂
Have a great week.

Elizabeth
March 30, 2016 at 3:04 pm (9 years ago)So exciting! Your brush lettering is gorgeous. The time & efforts you took to create the practice sheets, appreciated. You were one of the first people I connected with on Periscope & hope to meet you & Finn in person one day!

Katrina
April 1, 2016 at 1:08 pm (9 years ago)How do I print your worksheets?
Kelly
April 1, 2016 at 2:34 pm (9 years ago)Hi Katrina! You can click on the SHOP at the top menu or LEARN BRUSH LETTERING tab at the top. There you will receive instructions on how to get the download. The two sets are available for purchase in my “SHOP”. Let me know if you need any help. Thanks!
Kelly Sta. Ana
September 1, 2017 at 8:16 pm (8 years ago)kelly, how can I downloadbthe free worksheet?? Do I need to add it in the cart even though its free??
Kelly
September 6, 2017 at 9:30 pm (8 years ago)To download the free Bouncy Drills worksheet set, you will have to go through the check out process even though it’s free. You won’t have to pay anything, I don’t use your info for anything either.
Maureen Reiss
April 7, 2016 at 9:57 am (9 years ago)Thanks so much Kelly!!
Mary Phibbs
April 16, 2016 at 12:54 pm (9 years ago)Kelly I appreciate your tutorials very much. Other instructors go quite fast and I can’t always see what they are doing on the screen. You speak at a good pace and clearly show what you’re doing. Thank you.
Cathy Cosgrove
April 21, 2016 at 11:49 am (9 years ago)Fantastic job, Kelly. I purchased the bundle and am so happy with it. Brush lettering is on my “I’ve Got to Learn How to Do This” list and I know that your sheets will make the learning process fun!
Mirjana
April 25, 2016 at 9:40 pm (9 years ago)Hello Kelly! I love this post and I love your video! Have you tried these Chameleon Pens also for brush lettering? Or are they more for coloring? Sunny greetings!!
Kelly
April 26, 2016 at 10:59 pm (9 years ago)Hello Mirjana! The Chameleon Pens don’t really have a suitable brush nib for brush lettering. But they are fun to use otherwise! Take care!
Michelle
April 25, 2016 at 10:00 pm (9 years ago)You do such beautiful work…and it amazes me how much control you have over your pen !
Karleigh
April 30, 2016 at 12:08 pm (9 years ago)Karleigh here! Thank you so much for answering our queries! Too bad they bleed out fast. They would’ve been so perfect otherwise. Thing is,I wouldn’t mind Tombows too but I HATE the colour combination that come in pack. I would love to be able to pick the colours I like instead of having to chose a pack with fixed range of colours, especially because whatever pack I DON’T end up liking is almost always out of stock. Since I order from Amazon I don’t even have the luxury of choosing individual pens.
Karleigh
April 30, 2016 at 12:09 pm (9 years ago)Oh I meant that that whatever pack I end up liking is always out of stock. Had a typo in the comment up there 🙂
Trish
May 2, 2016 at 6:23 am (9 years ago)Loved your scope over the weekend on connecting letters! So nicely broken down, as is the “Kelly way”. Wish it was on either You Tube or IG. I have an online friend that I share lettering resources with. Wish I could direct her to that great video. Thank you for great lettering to watch and great learning opportunities:)
Troy
May 2, 2016 at 8:36 am (9 years ago)I purchased Kelly’s bundle deal, as I knew having both the drills and the lowercase alphabet together would jump start my learning! The value of these worksheets (and trust me you, you get a lot!) can’t be beat, and Kelly really cares about you learning this craft. She includes an entire page of tips and tricks to really boost you from day one! You can tell that she put her love and care into this product, and I wouldn’t hesitate purchasing this again! – Troy
Michelle
May 3, 2016 at 8:53 pm (9 years ago)Stunning!
Marshall
May 7, 2016 at 2:48 pm (9 years ago)I am loving your worksheets. They really help with where to put pressure on the pen and where to let up.
Do you have a single sheet with the upper and lower case letters on it available as a reference? That would be really helpful for when I feel ready to do the letters freehand, but need to remember what each one looks like.
Thanks!
Kelly
May 9, 2016 at 8:44 am (9 years ago)Hi Marshall, Because of your comment, I am going to develop that reference sheet and send it to customers who have signed up for my newsletter. Thanks for the great idea! love it!
Marshall
May 9, 2016 at 5:19 pm (9 years ago)So cool … I can’t wait! Thanks!
Sandy R
May 8, 2016 at 6:51 am (9 years ago)Fabulous work Kelly. I love the details you added with the markers!

Cindy Gay
May 10, 2016 at 7:18 am (9 years ago)Your writing is very nice! Like the paper strips in the Grand Canyon layout!
Leah
July 21, 2016 at 3:41 pm (9 years ago)These are the first brush lettering worksheets I have ever purchased. I am absolutely loving how my lettering has improved since I have been practicing. Thank you!
Delisa Taylor
July 21, 2016 at 3:41 pm (9 years ago)Kelly’s brush Lettering Worksheets bundle is the first set of guides to learn Calligraphy that I purchased. It is by far the best purchase I have ever made! Kelly loves her craft and is very interested in teaching others this art.
Dawn
July 21, 2016 at 4:16 pm (9 years ago)These upper case letters is just what I’ve been waiting on! They are beautiful Kelly! Thanks you for all you do for us!

Mika
July 21, 2016 at 4:35 pm (9 years ago)I fell in love with brush lettering when I found Kellycreates on IG. I never thought I could learn it too. These worksheets are amazing. I place them under my tracing paper and follow along. I’ve greatly improved since I started a couple months ago and I always come back to these sheets to practice before I start free writing.
Alexandra
July 21, 2016 at 4:51 pm (9 years ago)These are a great help in learning to form the letters. Love them!
Lily
July 21, 2016 at 5:07 pm (9 years ago)I have been using these worksheets to work on my brush strokes! It requires a lot of practice but these worksheets are great for a beginner like myself!
Justine
July 21, 2016 at 5:14 pm (9 years ago)Kelly’s worksheet bundle is my first step into brush lettering, and I am already addicted! Kelly’s font is beautiful, and the worksheets are very simple to follow. I can’t wait to continue practicing!
Emily

Anne Cahill
July 21, 2016 at 6:29 pm (9 years ago)Fantastic work sheets, so convenient being able to print them off yourself and practice when you feel in the mood. I also checked out the youtube channel of Kelly’s and found lots of informative videos to watch. Will definitely be purchasing the small brush pdfs.

Charlene
July 21, 2016 at 6:51 pm (9 years ago)I really appreciate these worksheets for giving me the structure I need for my practice. The letters are so clean and and neate. I would love to jump in and start writing words and sentences but these worksheets help me lay the proper foundation and muscle memory I need for consistent letter formation. Looking forward to purchasing more!
Cassie
July 21, 2016 at 7:16 pm (9 years ago)All of these worksheets have been absolutely amazing! They make it so easy to learn how to create beautiful lettering!

Dawn P
July 21, 2016 at 8:36 pm (9 years ago)Ii have been anticipating the upper case for a while now. Kelly hasn’t disappointed with these Lovely letters. Thank you Kelly for making it easy for us to learn brush lettering!
Rebecca
July 21, 2016 at 8:47 pm (9 years ago)Kelly’s worksheets are great for beginners like me. The drills are really helpful in learning the different strokes. It takes a lot of practice to build muscle memory so it’s great you can print as many sheets as you wants.
Aubrie Howell
July 21, 2016 at 9:31 pm (9 years ago)These drills are extremely helpful with learned how to form letters and learning how to control the pressure of you pen. I recommend using all of the drills and worksheets when learning or maintaining brush lettering skills.
Michelle
July 21, 2016 at 9:42 pm (9 years ago)Like many others, I got hooked on brush lettering after finding Kelly’s Instagram page. This is the first training bundle I’ve purchased, but I know it won’t be the last. The pages were easy to download, retrieve and print. The drills are straightforward and have helped me build muscle memory. Additionally, the tips at the beginning of the practice sheets are really helpful. I refer to them often.
Ann-Marie Wikström
July 21, 2016 at 11:13 pm (9 years ago)I have been having a lot of fun with these and would really like to win som more practicing sheets!
Shea Graff
July 22, 2016 at 3:26 am (9 years ago)I purchased these worksheets after seeing Kelly’s beautiful writing on Instagram. They were simple to download and print, and came with hints and tips for how to perfect your strokes! Practicing has never been easier.
Victoria Panza
July 22, 2016 at 6:03 am (9 years ago)I loved this bundle! It was my first purchase from this website. The drills really helped me focus on how much pressure to use depending on the stroke I was doing and they helped make learning lowercase a lot easier. It’s so nice to come home after work and sit down to relax by practicing with these worksheets!
Kimberly
July 22, 2016 at 6:24 am (9 years ago)What a great way to be introduced to brush lettering with a small brush pens. I’m glad I went for the bundle as the drills are a really nice warm-up before starting to learn to handletter ABCs and words. I also appreciated the full page of tops and tricks that was included. Overall, definitely a worthwhile purchase for the beginner in brush lettering!
Mayela Lameda-Lyver
July 22, 2016 at 7:27 am (9 years ago)I bought the brush lettering lower case alphabet yesterday and I’m super happy with my purchase. This is exactly what I wanted. I was looking for practice worksheets that you can go over the letters to create muscle memory. I can’t wait to start filling up the pages.
Thank you Kelly. I’ll be purchasing some more of your work sheets. I love to support my fellow Canadian entrepreneurs.
Mayela Lameda-Lyver

July 22, 2016 at 9:27 am (9 years ago)I was mesmerized by Kelly’s instagram (kellycreates) and it inspired me to start learning brush lettering myself.

Samantha
July 22, 2016 at 10:06 am (9 years ago)I think this bundle is a wonderful start to my new hobby! Thank you for creating this so others can learn, and make beautiful things!
Jeralyn Johnson
July 22, 2016 at 10:10 am (9 years ago)I followed Kelly’s practice sheets a little each day. At first I thought “this looks terrible, it’s never going to happen”. But I kept at it, 10 minutes a day and little by litte I started to see progress and now I am in love with the results. I have even rewarded myself with a set of new pens! I am so thrilled to have this skill that I LOOK for ways to use it 😉
Nina Wakefield
July 22, 2016 at 10:24 am (9 years ago)These are so neat — I looked through other worksheets and the letters weren’t nearly as perfect. It’s best to practice with perfection as the example! I look forward to buying more of the worksheets!
Carrie
July 22, 2016 at 10:50 am (9 years ago)just purchased this bundle and the upper case as well. can’t wait to get started learning this beautiful lettering so excited I found your page have been wanting to learn calligraphy for many years!!!
Carrie
July 22, 2016 at 10:53 am (9 years ago)Just purchased this and the drill and lower case bundle. They are hot off the press and cant wait to get home and start practicing!! have been wanting to learn for so many years hoping this will push me in the right direction so glad I found your sight!!!
Mallory
July 22, 2016 at 11:30 am (9 years ago)I absolutely LOVE these worksheets! My first brush pens came in the mail today and I cannot stop writing. Kelly’s worksheets provide a great place to start when learning to create proper strokes and letters. Thanks for inspiring me, Kelly! Can’t wait to learn the small brush pen styles when my Tombow Fudensoke pens arrive!
Katie
July 22, 2016 at 11:36 am (9 years ago)These drills are awesome and a staple in a beginning letterer’s arsenal. You can’t get the other sheets and leave out the drills. As I practice my letters, I find myself making little mistakes over and over. I go back to my drills and it fixes my mistake every time.
Katie
July 22, 2016 at 11:40 am (9 years ago)This worksheet set is a MUST-HAVE! Most of the letters you’ll be drawing (not writing, as Kelly says!) will be lowercase letters. You can’t brush letter without these worksheets. They are amazing. Everyone has their own style, but these get you started so that you can, one day, play around with letters more. In my opinion this is a quicker way to brush lettering expertise than if you were to just pick up a brush lettering pen and go at it. Definitely purchase this worksheet set – I would highly recommend it.
Katie
July 22, 2016 at 11:42 am (9 years ago)This set is perfect for beginning brush letterers! The strokes are long and wide, giving you ample space to really get the hang of using your new brush pen. I like the instructions included that offer helpful tips as you go on your lettering journey.
Katie
July 22, 2016 at 11:44 am (9 years ago)I purchased this bundle deal because I knew it was exactly what I needed to get going with brush lettering. I don’t think anyone could get very far without their practice drills and being able to utilize lowercase letters. If you’re going to get a bundle, I would highly suggest this one.
Joy
July 22, 2016 at 12:31 pm (9 years ago)I recently bought these drills as more of a starter kit to see if I would like brush lettering and would have the time/patience to pick up this skill/hobby. So far, so good! I’ve only practiced a handful of the letters, but the drills make it very easy to practice. Kelly also provides a list of helpful hints to try and help you get started, which I also found to be great!
Tracy
July 22, 2016 at 2:09 pm (9 years ago)I absolutely love these drill worksheets. I would be lost without them! I print them on regular printer paper and then use tracing paper over them. Works great!
Tracy
July 22, 2016 at 2:20 pm (9 years ago)I am loving these worksheets Kelly!! They are a wonderful guide for me, as I’m a beginner at lettering. I use them every day when I practice my lettering.
Angel
July 22, 2016 at 5:57 pm (9 years ago)Having the drills and the exemplars has made my brush lettering journey so much more fulfilling! The tips she provides are really helpful in refining your practice, and I feel like I have more confidence in my technique. I also appreciate Kelly for personally reaching out to me to make sure I was able to download the worksheets without any issues. I definitely look forward to downloading the uppercase letters!
Holly
July 22, 2016 at 11:38 pm (9 years ago)I purchased this bundle to learn something new. Thanks for the great deal!!!
Phyllis
July 23, 2016 at 11:19 am (9 years ago)Years ago I taught a calligraphy class to friends in my women’s club using only italic alphabet and calligraphy pens. It was a great success and I enjoy using the beautiful lettering on my annual Christmas cards.
Now that i am retired I decided to branch out and try some new alphabets. And then I found Kelly! The worksheets are so helpful and a great support when first starting out. You can teach an “old” woman new tricks! I’m 75 and still learning. Thanks to Kelly, I have the support and encouragement I need. Love the tips that keep you from getting stuck!
Sharon
July 23, 2016 at 2:23 pm (9 years ago)These worksheets are great and fun. I’m still not very good at it but I feel I’m getting better. Good way to start for a beginner like me.
Beth
July 23, 2016 at 2:58 pm (9 years ago)I downloaded the free worksheet to try after seeing you on Instagram. I have ordered the pens from Amazon and cannot wait to give it a whirl. You write beautifully!
Dawn
July 23, 2016 at 5:16 pm (9 years ago)I Love these drill worksheets. They have helped me start off with a great foundation for handlettering.
Diana Dunklau
July 24, 2016 at 7:45 am (9 years ago)This is my first try at brush lettering. I love using the worksheets with my new Tomball pens! It’s very relaxing for someone like me who always has a project. I am practicing as much as I can though I don’t feel very confident yet. I watch your video while practicing to remind me of all the components of creating good letter forms. It’s all so new to me but that’s the point of learning, right?
Emily S.
July 25, 2016 at 7:08 am (9 years ago)I love these! I thought I would never be able to learn fun lettering, but this really helped my non-artistic self. I still feel like I’m not very good, but the more I practice the better I get. It’s really all about practice, and these worksheets make it easy. I use them with a tracing pad so it’s super-easy. Love!
cait
July 26, 2016 at 3:09 pm (9 years ago)i just came back from new York with hundreds of dollars spent in calligraphy pens (tombow, sharpie, and one other I cant remember the name)! I would love love love to win ANY of your sheets!
Julie
August 2, 2016 at 8:48 am (9 years ago)I am loving my purchase so far. I’ve tried to work on it a lot over the weekend and I’m up to the ovals. I am not sure how good I will eventually be, but I’m having a good time so far. I have high hopes!! I downloaded a whole lot of free sheets previously but nothing compares to your worksheets. I LOVE that I can use tracing paper and use the sheets over and over. Thanks so much!!
DeeDee
August 15, 2016 at 8:28 pm (9 years ago)Thank you Kelly for these fabulous worksheets! I purchased the Lower Case Alphabet and drills bundle, as well as the Uppercase Alphabet. Wow! This is exactly what I had been looking for!! Although I have a long way to go, my writing is already improving! Thank you so very much!!

September 29, 2016 at 1:09 pm (8 years ago)I can’t believe how easy these sheets make learning brush lettering. I have been obsessed with learning for over a year now. After spending at least $100 on books and tools with instructions, I still felt I was no better than when I began. After finding Kelly on Instagram I immediately purchased this bundle. This is exactly what I was looking for, a simple, straight forward and easy to follow guide. I have been thrilled with the outcome and can’t wait to see what I will add to my collection and knowledge next. I also love the monthly bonus sheets and Kelly herself is truly an inspiration. Thank you so much!!!

Thank you Kelly!

November 8, 2016 at 1:15 pm (8 years ago)I have been admiring brush lettering for quite sometime and have read reviews and looked into different tutorials and by far Kelly’s workbooks and drills have been more helpful than any! She has helpful tips at the beginning and little insites to success! She mentions it as an art and not as just writing, that has helped tremendously in slowing down and enjoying the process! I would definitely buy again!

Crystal
January 17, 2017 at 6:32 pm (8 years ago)What brand markers/pens do you primarily use?
Kelly
January 26, 2017 at 10:54 am (8 years ago)Hi Crystal, Mostly I use Tombow Dual brush pens, Sakura Koi Coloring Brush Pens, and Kuretake Brushables or Scroll& Brush. For small brush tips, I like the Tombow Fudenosuke and the Pentel Sign Brush pens. There are also many more brush pens on the market that are great, but I don’t have them all ha ha. Hope this helps!
Lissette
January 17, 2017 at 9:03 pm (8 years ago)Do you have a list of the markers you use aside from the sharpies??
Kelly
January 26, 2017 at 10:53 am (8 years ago)Hi Lisette, I actually don’t practice much with Sharpies. Mostly I use Tombow Dual brush pens, Sakura Koi Coloring Brush Pens, and Kuretake Brushables or Scroll& Brush. There are also many more brush pens on the market that are great, but I don’t have them all ha ha. Hope this helps!
James
January 18, 2017 at 2:39 am (8 years ago)Hello Sir,My names is James.I live in Myanmar.I want to Learn Brush Letting Paper.How can i do?Please sir.
Kelly
January 26, 2017 at 10:55 am (8 years ago)Hi James, You can learn by buying a brush pen (either large tip or small tip) and then getting a set of my practice worksheets that are printable tracing guides. You will love them. Just click the SHOP tab to see them. I recommend Bundle 1 or Bundle 2 for beginners, depending on the brush tip size. Hope this helps!
Helen Gullett
January 18, 2017 at 6:29 am (8 years ago)Kelly, do the brush tips okay to write on the wood surface? they surface won’t ruin them? Just curios 🙂 Fabulous projects!
Kelly
January 18, 2017 at 12:15 pm (8 years ago)Helen, the wood is surprisingly smooth but I used older Tombow pens on it just in case. I would not use my ‘good’ brush pens that I reserve for paper.
Michele K. Henderson
January 18, 2017 at 7:03 am (8 years ago)Wow! These are really gorgeous! I love the way the woodgrain reveals through the color! Thanks for sharing a great technique!
Laurie M
January 18, 2017 at 7:34 am (8 years ago)Love this application of brush lettering and Tombow pens! I would not have thought to use the pens on a wood surface! Thanks for the inspiration Kelly!
Michelle Marks
January 18, 2017 at 11:39 am (8 years ago)My fVorite thing is the wood rings you drew on afterwards….they remind me of fingerprints and make me think of someone’s hand on my heart¡
teresa toledo
January 23, 2017 at 11:09 am (8 years ago)Gorgeous! I picked up a wood box and used it to test different gold pens on it for a gift. Some did bleed. What would you use to prep the wood surface before lettering on it??
I used some Modge Podge on it after, but it wasn’t the glossy one so it looked a little dull. I need to grab a good glossy top coat.
Thank you for any help on prepping!
Teresa T.
Kelly
January 25, 2017 at 5:19 pm (8 years ago)Thank you Teresa! This is the first time I have used wood for lettering, so I recommend contacting Walnut Hollow about prepping the surface. I’m sure they are familiar with lots of products that are suitable.
Marcella blackwell
January 26, 2017 at 4:46 pm (8 years ago)Thank you so much for sharing this video on flowers with tombow. I appreciate your honesty and love your technique. I recently purchased a set of 96 and had this wish to do watercolour flowers with them. I was thinking I had wasted my money but I now feel inspired as I love watercolour and flowers. Once again a big thank you for sharing.
Kelly
January 26, 2017 at 6:42 pm (8 years ago)What a beautiful comment….thank you Marcella, you made my day. I love using Tombow Pens for watercolor art, but I haven’t been doing much of it lately because the lettering has taken over my life ha ha (in a good way).
Sue Anna
January 27, 2017 at 5:06 pm (8 years ago)How hard is it for lefties to use these markers
Kelly
January 31, 2017 at 9:53 am (8 years ago)Sue Anna, lefties can use any kind of brush pen and do beautiful lettering. I know many talented lettering artists who are left handed. Just practice and you will learn how!

Kelly
March 6, 2017 at 12:34 pm (8 years ago)Thank you Vickie! The best way to get started is to find some brush pens and smooth paper. Also I recommend my worksheets… Bundle 1 for large brush pens or Bundle 2 for small brush pens is where beginners should start.
Janet Ingraham
March 7, 2017 at 10:22 pm (8 years ago)Wouldn’t ZIG clean color brush markers fall into this category? Seems They are very popular among you designers so wondering why not included. Thank you for your work and sharing.
Kelly
March 8, 2017 at 1:46 pm (8 years ago)Janet, there are lots of different brush pens I didn’t include, and the Kuretake Zig Clean Color brush markers are very nice. I didn’t include them because the brush pens with actual bristles are more challenging to use for beginners. But I do love them!
teresa toledo
March 8, 2017 at 12:49 pm (8 years ago)YOU ARE BY FAR MY MOST FAV! WHEN I STARTED I ONLY USED THE TOMBOW, I LIKED THE SOFT TIP. I ALSO LIKED THE PENTEL TOUCH PENS.
SINCE I HAVE GOTTEN SO MUCH BETTER, I CAN USE ANY PEN NOW AND I LOVE IT. I FEEL LIKE I PRACTICE MORE THAN I WORK! LOL
THANK YOU!
Kelly

Kelly
April 2, 2017 at 3:11 pm (8 years ago)Hi Julie, lots of lefties are talented lettering artists. And there are also a lot of lefties who use my worksheets. It doesn’t matter which pen or worksheet you use with your left hand, but you will have to adjust the position of the paper and the push pull technique on the brush pen.

Chiara Morgan
April 3, 2017 at 1:58 pm (8 years ago)I Ahave never used brush pens but always wanted to, they just don’t seem to widely sell them here, plus I’m a uni student so funds are scarce! If I won I would definitely make the most of them, I find writing calms me down an awful lot. I have pages and pages of just random words written down and find learning new cursive to be rather therapeutic, for me personally. There’s just only so much you can do with a normal ball-point pen and basic calligraphy pen,so these would be great!
Great blog by the way!
Esther
April 3, 2017 at 2:02 pm (8 years ago)Oooo these are gorgeous (for a pen, right?) If I won these pens, I wood make more signs for my craft projects and homemade thank you cards. I love giving people personal, handmade things, so instead of buying thank you cards, I figured why not make my own???

April 3, 2017 at 3:53 pm (8 years ago)Initially I started with greeting cards, I began to do calligraphy,lettering and brush lettering in order to add more of a personal touch to my cards. Unfortunately, due to unemployment, I lost amy stamps, markers, inks, embossing powders & equipment, colored pencils, cardstock and embellishments all stored in a storage unit.

Janet Ingraham
April 3, 2017 at 4:03 pm (8 years ago)First I would like to thank you for sharing your comparisons. My son was attracted to calligraphy since gradeschool. I got him a traditional dip ink pen which he has used ever since and recently did all of his wedding invitations himself in calligraphy. I think he would be over the moon if I could give him the small barrel Marvy pens as he has a condition (essential tremor) and prefers the better control he has with smaller barrels. Thank you for the opportunity to share.
patricia
April 3, 2017 at 4:05 pm (8 years ago)I have just gotten “hooked” on making greeting cards. I would like to do my own writing vs “stamping”.

It helped me put my problems into perspective. I don’t consider myself an artistic person but I love writing/calligraphy. Your Women’s March post has inspired me to want to create 4 pieces all relating to The Four Agreements. A combination of words and imagery that would be daily reminders of the books’ simple yet profound teachings as well as my ability to keep creating what inspires me.

Stacey
April 4, 2017 at 4:21 pm (8 years ago)I would use these pens in my classroom to help encourage handwriting as a hobby for my students. So many of them rely on computers and never truly learned script or cursive. As I try to decipher their writing week after week, I always think of the line from “Steel Magnolias” that goes something like “You have the handwriting of a serial killer.” hahaha! I’ve been encouraging them to write in cursive and I think using these pens as an incentive/reward for trying would be helpful!
Colleen
April 4, 2017 at 4:23 pm (8 years ago)I would use these awesome pens on my scrapbook pages.

Mine are now in a pencil case and it works pretty well, but would really like something that stands up.. ideas? Thanks!
Kelly

Anita Christian
June 27, 2017 at 4:13 am (8 years ago)Kelly, I know this is late, but I just found you recently upon purchasing my ScanNCut2. I am touched by the story of your Daughter especially because of two reasons: My Nephew’s only son was born in Aug. 2014 and he was totally deaf. He now has two cochlear implants but his life is not going to be normal as he also has sight problems. The other reason is that our Daughter Amy, born in 1996 was diagnosed with Anorexia on 20th Aug. 2014. She is still struggling very much and very far from recovery. The pain is beyond description. I find craft is my way of escape at times. Love and hugs,
Anita

November 3, 2017 at 5:08 am (7 years ago)Your cards are beautiful! I have been wanting to make some watercolor cards so it was perfect that I came across your blog. I was wondering about using the markers on watercolor paper for lettering. Does it work ok or do you use other paper for your cards?
Thanks for sharing!
Kelly
November 13, 2017 at 9:29 pm (7 years ago)Heidi, I use very smooth hot press watercolor paper for cards OR smooth Bristol paper because rough paper and regular watercolour paper will damage the brush tips with friction.

That way when they move out they have a treasure box of growing up ornaments that represent something special about their childhood! One example…my youngest was only a few months old when the movie Happy Feet came out, by the age of 16 months he couldn’t get enough of it so for his 2nd Christmas I found him a dancing Mumble…to this day age 11 it is one of his faves and it represents so much of who he is…

December 11, 2017 at 7:21 pm (7 years ago)Every year, since I was a child, we have always dressed up and gone to my grandma’s house on Christmas Eve. We would spend time with family, eat amazing food, and open a few presents early. I was (and still am) always in charge of passing out the presents. We would drive around and look at all the beautiful Christmas lights and decorations. When we would get home (to my parents house) that night, we would leave out cookies and milk for santa. Christmas morning, I make cinnamon rolls and hot chocolate with my mom and we open presents in our pjs. Then we have a nice relaxing day spending time with all our family.
This year is extra special because I am bringing my fiancé home to celebrate with us. It is the first year him and I get to celebrate together and the first year I can share my childhood memories with him. I’m so excited.

Daphne
December 11, 2017 at 7:23 pm (7 years ago)As my children grew to adulthood I struggled to find a way to keep the child in them alive. For the last 5 or so years we each don a Santa hat while I set up my tripod and set the camera timer to continuous shoot. Initially I thought this would be a nice way to document each Christmas as the years flew by. What I didn’t expect was that my kids (ages 30 and 33) still have quite a bit of the child they used to be inside! They always find a way with their antics to make each “photo shoot” special. It’s a day full of laughter and shenanigans that we look forward to every year!

It was my favorite tradition as a child, and now it’s my favorite tradition as an adult, to take my kids to see the “Galea’s Christmas lights” on Christmas Eve!

December 11, 2017 at 8:03 pm (7 years ago)One of my favorite Christmas traditions is going to the mall to see Santa… With a small budget and continuing growing little kids we don’t go shopping at the mall often (our shopping is mostly done at wal-mart lol) so going to the mall and seeing all the decorations is one of my favorites.. it’s always so frustrating standing in line, and bribing the kids to sit on Santa’s lap just for a quick picture, but I sure do look forward to it… We always get blizzards from DQ on the way home and drive around to see all the houses done up too!! Thank you for the chance to win your awesome products.. can’t wait to get some of my own!!

For example, if I got him a new video game, I would put it in his stack of video games for him to find. It adds an extra level of suspense, and it’s awesome to hunt and try to find them. We have so much fun on our Christmas scavenger hunt!

Everyone who attends our big family celebration contributes, even the little one who draw or scribble. The one rule is we like everyone to at least sign in, and then they can write about thoughts, prayers, milestones, losses, thoughts…anything at all.

December 11, 2017 at 8:19 pm (7 years ago)It’s really hard to pick just one. But I would have to say my favorite Christmas tradition is putting up the Christmas tree. Our tree was never themed or a certain color scheme. We always had a hodgepodge themed tree, so it was always fun pulling ornaments out of the Christmas box. I love the feeling you get when unwrapping each ornament one by one. That nostalgic feeling is the best!
Mariko Garces
December 11, 2017 at 8:19 pm (7 years ago)My favorite Christmas tradition is attending a 9-day series of evening/dawn masses or what we call “simbang gabi” before the actual Christmas day.

Fadilah
December 11, 2017 at 8:20 pm (7 years ago)Hi Kelly!
As a muslim, I don’t celebrate Christmas personally, but it’s important for people to acknowledge and understand that everyone has a different background and lifestyle hence why there are some Muslims who celebrate Christmas and some who don’t. Whether a Muslim celebrates Christmas or not doesn’t really bother me – I’m too worried about my own life!
On Christmas holidays, I don’t really do anything. It’s not too different to a normal day. If anything, we either see family or make the most of the classic Christmas movies that come on TV! I speak on behalf of many when I say that it’s not only frustrating but also upsetting when people make an assumption that I’ll be against a festive holiday because of my own beliefs. Christmas is a wonderful time of the year – decorations lace neighbourhoods and cities, and the cold weather in conjunction with the warm spirit of people who have come together to celebrate is such a beautiful thing to witness.
Although I don’t celebrate Christmas, I still love the atmosphere and appreciate it. Especially on the gifts exchange part and dinner gatherings among my close friends who celebrate Christmas.

We have a daughter and She’s in Philippines right now. I left her when she was 6months old and went back here in Japan for work. Now this Christmas season, I and my husband will be going home in the Philippines for a very long time because we want to celebrate Christmas with our family especially with our daughter. The feeling of celebrating Christmas here in Japan is different when we’re in the Philippines. Our hearts and happiness will always be in our homecountry most especially when celebrating Christmas season. And we’re very excited to go home very soon. ?

Some people have their whole garden covered in lights and displays, while others have fewer lights but still alot of effort had gone into them. I try to leave a little money where we stop to help them pay for their display. Some streets have every house lit up like Christmas Tree, lol. It’s great to park the car, get out and talk to these people and spread a little Christmas cheer. Thanks for a fabulous giveaway.

My favorite Christmas tradition is cooking the Christmas dinner alongside my family members. From smoking a turkey to making the sweet potato pies the way my mom does. It is also a time where we pass down the “family secrets” on how to cook like my parents. But most of all it is the joy of being with family and sharing the love, memories, and laughter.❤️

December 11, 2017 at 8:50 pm (7 years ago)My favorite Christmas tradition is going to the Christmas Eve service at my church and at the end we all sign Silent Night with the lights off all holding lit candles. It’s one of the prettiest things I’ve seen and will forever be my favorite tradition!

December 11, 2017 at 8:51 pm (7 years ago)My favorite traditions are with my husbands family, since we don’t have children yet. Every Christmas Eve, we have a big lobster feast and drink egg nog by the fireplace. We then go to a midnight candlelight service. On Christmas Day, we get up early to make Churros and Bacon for Breakfast before opening presents! It’s the best!

December 11, 2017 at 8:59 pm (7 years ago)My favorite Christmas tradition is an odd one but my family likes to watch the musical Oklahoma when we decorate the Christmas tree. I get to hang my favorite decorations as we reminisce about the memories that each ornament brings back. It’s quality family time around the holidays even if the movie isn’t festive itself it doesn’t feel like Christmas until we’ve watched it 🙂

December 11, 2017 at 9:00 pm (7 years ago)Too many traditions to choose a favorite! Every year though we pick family names then everyone gets $1 to go to the dollar store and pick something out for them. It seems silly but the little kids pick the most thoughtful gifts! An example being a bottle of vanilla because they overheard my mom saying she ran out. Seriously, so adorable!

December 11, 2017 at 9:05 pm (7 years ago)My favorite Xmas tradition is going to my parents house Xmas morning to find a note on the tree my dad wrote. He sends us on a wild goose chase to find notes all over the house and yard to find our “big” gift. Even though I usually know the gift and I’m 36 years old. We HAVE to run around or it is just not Christmas! My kids LOVE it!

Evelyn Rivera
December 11, 2017 at 9:07 pm (7 years ago)My favorite tradition is cooking dinner on Christmas Eve with my husband and kids and now son in law, watch Christmas Vacation and wait until midnight so we can give out gifts one at a time.

December 11, 2017 at 9:13 pm (7 years ago)My favorite Christmas Tradition since having a family of my own, (beginning 5 years ago), and becoming a wife 7 years ago has to be putting on matching Christmas PJs on Christmas Eve, my children waking up super early in the morning waking my husband and I up to run downstairs and check to see what ‘Santa’ has brought. My son is 4 (soon to be 5 on the 20th) and my daughter is 1 ( 2 in feb), and this is actually the first year where I won’t be putting the gifts under the tree until Christmas Eve night after they fall asleep. I really want this year to be super special for them. I love being able to create my own tradition with my own little family now. Have a Merry Christmas everyone.
Zoya Fuller
December 11, 2017 at 9:14 pm (7 years ago)Always loved opening one present on Christmas eve. I follow the same tradition with my kids. I’m sure my parents hoped that it would keep me from waking everyone up before the break of dawn to open presents on Christmas morning.
Carolyn
December 11, 2017 at 9:15 pm (7 years ago)My favorite Christmas tradition is on Christmas morning turning on the tree lights, the family sitting together and one of us reading the Bible passage regarding Jesus’ birth. It brings the day into focus for us.

December 11, 2017 at 9:18 pm (7 years ago)I love decorating our tree each year and listening to the family reminiscing about each ornament, where it came from, what it meant to them, and how the last ornament each year put on the tree is always the Grinch… because he finally found the true meaning of Christmas.

December 11, 2017 at 9:24 pm (7 years ago)My mother in law hosts each advent Sunday as an evening with family and friends. We light her Christmas pyramid, feast on appetizers and treats, and enjoy each other’s company with Christmas music playing in the background.

In the evening we would drive around and look at Christmas lights and when we got home we always had an early Christmas present. It was always a comfy new set of pjs and a new movie on VHS to watch. We got to drink hit cocoa and watch our new movie before going to bed. It will always be one of my favorite memories.

We have collected many ornaments over the years (and on various vacations) and it is like taking a trip down memory lane. Some ornaments may have great stories of how they were acquired, some are just silly gifts from white elephant parties, some from our own childhood, an
