June Projects with Kelly Purkey Shop

There’s a new release at Kelly Purkey Shop today and I wanted to share the two projects I made with this month’s release. The stamps and kits are all about summer fun and I was happy to work with them since we’ve been experiencing “June Gloom” here in southern California.

For my first project, I used the main TN kit called Summer Bucket List to document a week last year checking off the items on my bucket list. We spend a lot of time at the beach and at the pool – both as a family and solo for me, since I am avid swimmer. Many of the photos from the week were taken at both locations and I think I made at least 6 trips to the pool and beach that week. 🙂

When I first saw the TN papers, I was drawn to the large “Here Comes Summer” page. I cut down that page to use in a 4″ x 6″ pocket (layered over some white cardstock) and adhered a small photo of my daughter in the pool.
Since I was documenting my summer bucket list, I had to use the stamps from the kit to make a journaling card, with the completion dates. I used white embossing powder to make “summer bucket list” stand out on the dark blue paper. 
I loved the circle patterns on the papers and stamped some of the sentiments over the circles and cut them out using a circle punch to use as embellishments on other photos.
Lastly, I cut out phrases from the fill-in-the-blank TN page to further embellish my photos. A few puffy asterisks from my stash completed the spread!
For my second project, I documented a recent week this year where I thought summer was starting to show up. Spoiler: Summer was just teasing me because it was sunny that week and then it was back to clouds the following week!
For this spread, I mixed cards from the main project kit, Fun Times, with the LLP kit, Summer Adventuring. We visited the beach twice that week and had fun collecting shells so the gorgeous Seashells stamp set by Life Love Paper was perfect to use. I loved playing with the different shells on my title page!

We also acquired a bike for my daughter which was exciting so the 3″ x 4″ card and matching sentiments from the Summer Adventuring kit was perfect for documenting that.

I used one of the journaling cards from the Fun Times kit to type some notes about things that happened during the week. The Sun’s Out stamp from Life Love Paper was great for adding an embellishment to the otherwise plain card. I popped it up with some foam tape.
A few more stamps and labels and my week was done! Thanks for checking out my projects and let me know if you have any questions!

  12. I have noticed that credit restoration activity needs to be conducted with techniques. If not, you will probably find yourself endangering your position. In order to realize your aspirations in fixing your credit ranking you have to ascertain that from this moment in time you pay all of your monthly fees promptly before their scheduled date. It’s really significant for the reason that by not accomplishing so, all other measures that you will decide on to improve your credit position will not be useful. Thanks for discussing your strategies.

  35. What an enlightening video on “The Importance of Sleep and Mental Health”!

    It’s remarkable how something as fundamental as sleep can have such profound
    effects on our mental well-being. This video beautifully highlights
    the science behind
    sleep and its crucial role in maintaining mental health.
    The tips provided on improving
    sleep hygiene are not only practical but also easily integrable into daily routines.

    It’s a reminder that prioritizing sleep is not just about physical health but is equally
    vital for mental resilience and emotional balance. Kudos to the creators for shedding light
    on this often overlooked aspect of health. Looking forward to implementing these strategies
    and experiencing the positive changes in my mental wellness.

  37. I’ve been surfing online more than 3 hours today,
    yet I never found any interesting article like yours.
    It’s pretty worth enough for me. Personally, if all website
    owners and bloggers made good content as you did,
    the web will be much more useful than ever before.

  39. Right here is the right web site for anyone who really wants to understand this topic.

    You know so much its almost hard to argue with you (not that I
    actually will need to…HaHa). You certainly put a fresh spin on a topic which has been discussed for years.
    Wonderful stuff, just great!
