April Projects with Kelly Purkey Shop

 

This month’s Kelly Purkey Shop release just went live which means I have a couple of new projects to share with you! This month’s release included the Hometown Love main kit and the Grow TN kit, as well as some fun additional stamps. You can view the entire release here.

I filled out a couple of gaps in my 2017 Project Life album making two pocket page spreads with the kits and stamps from this month.

For my first project, I went back to Week 48. It was a pretty normal week where we went to our usual places around home so I thought it would be perfect for using the Hometown Love kit.

There’s a new stamp in the shop called Cake Shop designed by Life Love Paper and it’s super fun to play with and make little buildings! I used it to make a little bakery 3×4 card to accompany the photo of my daughter at one of the bakeries we frequent.

I loved the 4×6 map card from the kit and knew I had to use that in my spread. I adhered some lovely camel-colored letter stickers along one of the map lines to spell out our city, and then layered some stamps and labels to bring in some additional color.

I also used some of the papers and stamps from the TN kit called Homebody. The hand-drawn furniture seemed to fit in well with this week’s theme! 

Another must-have stamp from this release is Journal Lines. There are several journal blocks to choose from, as well as several arrows. I used two different journal stamps as both a layering tag and a journal spot, and I used one of the arrow patterns throughout the cards in the spread, which I thought was a fun way to tie the spread together. 

For my second project, I documented part of Week 16 from 2017. This was a week in Spring where we visited some flower fields, worked in our own garden, and had some flower photos from some hiking we had done — all perfect with the Grow kit!

Even though this is a TN kit, the cards totally work in a pocket page spread. I cut down the card with the “Spring” repeated words, turned it on its side, and used that as a background for my photo.

The stamp set contains some buildable elements, which I used to create the potted plant, combining it with a couple other stamps and making a 3×4 card with it.

Kelly talks about repeating design elements in her own spreads and I tried to do exactly that by layering the letter stickers with the days of the week paper, and repeating this trio on three of the photos. I agree with her that it helps the cohesion!
I printed my journaling on vellum for this week and adhered it onto the pretty yellow flower paper, so I could use more of the pattern, instead of just cutting off a strip or two.

Thanks for checking out my projects and I hope I could provide a little inspiration. 🙂

P.S. Here’s a look at some of the “in progress” scenes I stamped with the Cake Shop stamp.

SO cute, right??

  1. Hey people,

    I’ve been checking out the world of virtual casinos lately, and I’ve gotta say — it’s surprisingly fun. At first, I was super skeptical. I mean, how do you even trust an online platform with your cash, right? But after doing a ton of research (and trying out a few questionable sites so you can avoid that mess), I figured out a few things that distinguish a legit casino from a complete fraud. First off, if you’re new to all this, here’s the golden rule: **regulation is key**. If a casino doesn’t have a proper license (like from the Malta Gaming Authority or the UKGC), just run. No bonus is worth the trouble of never seeing your funds again. Also — and I know no one wants to — go through the small print. That’s the only way to know what kind of hidden traps they’ve slapped onto those so-called “amazing” bonuses.

    Now, let me share a site I’ve been using these last few weeks. It’s been a breath of fresh air. The interface? Super clean. Payouts? Fast as hell. And the game selection? *Wild*. Slots, live dealers, blackjack, even some unique stuff I hadn’t tried before. Check it out here: vinci spin . What really won me over was the help desk. I had a tiny issue with a bonus not working, and they got back to me in like no time. Compare that to other sites where you’re just ghosted by support — yeah, no thanks.

    Also, if you’re into bonuses (and who isn’t?), this place offers some juicy ones. But here’s the trick: don’t just chase bonuses. It’s smarter to get reasonable terms than a huge bonus you’ll never be able to withdraw. I’m not saying you should go and drop your rent money — please don’t. But if you’ve got a little extra fun budget and you’re looking for a chill way to spend an evening, online casinos can totally deliver. Just keep your head on, control your bankroll, and don’t treat it like a side hustle. It’s for fun, not for a paycheck. Anyway, just wanted to drop my experience here in case anyone’s interested or trying to find a good place to play. If you’ve got your own stories or even some horror tales, I’m all ears — love talking shop about this stuff.

    Good luck out there, and may the odds be ever in your favor ??

  2. Hey people,

    I’ve been getting into the world of internet gambling lately, and I’ve gotta say — it’s a total blast. At first, I was super skeptical.

But after digging deep (and trying out a few dodgy sites so you don’t have to), I figured out a few things that set apart a legit casino from a complete fraud. First off, if you’re new to all this, here’s the golden rule: **regulation is key**. If a casino doesn’t have a proper regulatory certificate (like from the MGA or the UK Gambling Commission), just run. No bonus is worth the risk of never seeing your money again. Also — and I know no one wants to — read the T&Cs. That’s the only way to know what kind of wagering requirements they’ve slapped onto those so-called “amazing” bonuses.

    Now, let me share a site I’ve been using these last few weeks. It’s been a game-changer. The interface? Super easy to navigate. Payouts? Quick — like 24 hours quick. And the game selection? *Wild*. Slots, live dealers, blackjack, even some unique stuff I hadn’t tried before. Check it out here: plinko game app download . What really won me over was the help desk. I had a tiny issue with a bonus not working, and they got back to me in like 10 minutes. Compare that to other sites where you’re just left hanging — yeah, no thanks.

    Also, if you’re into bonuses (and who isn’t?), this place offers some juicy ones. But here’s the trick: don’t just go crazy over promos. It’s smarter to get reasonable terms than a huge bonus you’ll never be able to withdraw. I’m not saying you should go and blow your whole paycheck — please don’t. But if you’ve got a little extra fun budget and you’re looking for a chill way to spend an evening, online casinos can totally deliver. Just keep your head on, set a budget, and don’t treat it like a side hustle. It’s for fun, not for a paycheck. Anyway, just wanted to drop my experience here in case anyone’s curious or trying to find a decent place to play. If you’ve got your own stories or even some horror tales, I’m all ears — love talking shop about this stuff.
