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!

  10. I?m impressed, I have to say. Really hardly ever do I encounter a blog that?s both educative and entertaining, and let me inform you, you’ve hit the nail on the head. Your idea is outstanding; the issue is one thing that not enough people are talking intelligently about. I’m very pleased that I stumbled across this in my search for one thing relating to this.

  11. It is my belief that mesothelioma is most lethal cancer. It contains unusual characteristics. The more I look at it the harder I am confident it does not respond like a real solid tissues cancer. If mesothelioma is actually a rogue virus-like infection, so there is the chance for developing a vaccine and also offering vaccination to asbestos exposed people who are vulnerable to high risk regarding developing long run asbestos related malignancies. Thanks for revealing your ideas about this important ailment.

  15. Kanye West has established his place as a music
    legend, and his influence extends far beyond hip-hop. Ye posters
    have become incredibly popular among fans and design aficionados everywhere.

    Starting with his initial releases like “The College Dropout” to his trailblazing albums like “Yeezus” and “The Life of Pablo,” Kanye’s album
    covers have always been memorable. These artworks are
    usually reproduced as wall art, which encapsulate the spirit of his creative vision.

    Collectors love these posters not just for their artistic value, but also for the
    emotional connection they carry. A Kanye West print can transform a living room into a music shrine, adding character and personality.

    Each poster tells a story of Kanye’s evolution as an artist.
    The “Graduation” art piece, with its bold design, symbolizes the joy of accomplishment, while the “808s & Heartbreak” design, with its sparse aesthetic, expresses
    the intense vulnerability of the music.

    Whether you’re a devoted follower of Kanye’s music or simply appreciate unique posters, there’s a
    Kanye West poster out there for you. These posters are great additions for family who
    share your passion.

    Ultimately, Mr. West posters are more than just art pieces;
    they are manifestations of a music legend. Purchase one today and add to your collection a piece of artistic brilliance.
