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!

  1. Howdy! This is my first visit to your blog! We are a team of volunteers and starting a new initiative
    in a community in the same niche. Your blog provided us useful information to work on. You
    have done a marvellous job!

  2. Hi it’s me, I am also visiting this web site regularly, this web page is genuinely pleasant and the visitors are actually sharing fastidious thoughts.

  3. Wonderful blog! Do you have any recommendations for aspiring writers?
    I’m hoping to start my own blog soon but I’m a little
    lost on everything. Would you suggest starting with a free
    platform like WordPress or go for a paid option? There are so many options out there that I’m totally overwhelmed ..
    Any recommendations? Thank you!

  4. It is really a nice and helpful piece of information. I am glad that you shared this useful information with us. Please keep us up to date like this. Thanks for sharing.

  5. Wow, awesome blog structure! How long have you ever been blogging for?
    you made running a blog glance easy. The whole glance of your website is excellent, as neatly as
    the content material!

  6. It’s the best time to make some plans for the
    future and it’s time to be happy. I’ve read this post
    and if I could I desire to suggest you few interesting things or tips.
    Maybe you can write next articles referring to this article.

    I want to read even more things about it!

  7. Hmm it looks like your site ate my first comment (it was super
    long) so I guess I’ll just sum it up what I had written and say, I’m thoroughly enjoying your blog.
    I too am an aspiring blog writer but I’m still new to the
    whole thing. Do you have any recommendations for beginner blog writers?

    I’d really appreciate it.

  8. Yet another issue is that video games can be serious naturally with the principal focus on studying rather than leisure. Although, there is an entertainment aspect to keep your sons or daughters engaged, each game is often designed to improve a specific expertise or course, such as math concepts or scientific discipline. Thanks for your posting.

  9. I do believe all the ideas you have presented in your post.
    They’re very convincing and can certainly work. Still, the posts are very quick for beginners.
    May you please extend them a little from next time?

    Thanks for the post.

  10. Hi are using WordPress for your site platform? I’m new to the blog world but I’m trying to get started and set up my own. Do you require any html coding expertise to make your own blog?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

  11. First of all I want to say wonderful blog! I had
    a quick question which I’d like to ask if you don’t mind.
    I was curious to find out how you center yourself and clear your mind before writing.

    I have had a difficult time clearing my thoughts in getting my thoughts out there.
    I truly do take pleasure in writing but it just seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes tend to
    be wasted simply just trying to figure out how to
    begin. Any suggestions or tips? Many thanks!

  12. Hello! I just wanted to ask if you ever have any issues with hackers?

    My last blog (wordpress) was hacked and I ended up losing
    months of hard work due to no data backup. Do you have any methods to stop hackers?

  13. An impressive share! I have just forwarded this onto a colleague who has been doing a little
    research on this. And he in fact bought me
    lunch because I stumbled upon it for him… lol.

    So allow me to reword this…. Thank YOU for the meal!!
    But yeah, thanx for spending time to discuss this topic here on your
    blog.
