NEW KNG kit... Magic of Christmas

I love, love, LOVE this kit... I know I always say that, but I really do love this one! If you would like to see what is included in the kit and another example visit...

And FYI...
we still have a few more kits left from summer
& Halloween, so get them while you still can!

Here is what I made using the kit...
Shay was 2 in these pictures... she sure has grown!

The snowman (Frosty) and the gingerbread man (Gingy) are the included precut unassembled paper piecings. The tree is part of the template that you can trace.

Popdots are wonderful to make these squares... well, pop!!

These are the things I used to spruce up my paper piecings. Of course I inked the edges, but then I used a white Zig Writer Chalk Collection to trace Gingy and highlight the scarf & hat of Frosty. I also used red Diamond Glaze on Gingy's nose and pink on the star on the tree. But what was really cool was using Snow Writer (you can get at Michaels) on the white frosting of Gingy to make it look like real frosting... so fun! You could use puffy paint too!

Here are so more things I used:
Swirl Cuttlebug Embossing Folder for the tree
Imaginese Glitter Brads for the buttons on Gingy and the tree.
Little black brads for the cole on Frosty

NEW KNG kit... A Sweet Halloween

So here is our 1st of 2 kits that we are making for Halloween, this one being more for the younger generation. It is more SWEET instead of spooky! Kids will love the cut paper piecing showing what they did on one of their favorite nights of the year, I know my little Shay couldn't stop looking at the layout after I was done! Enjoy!

paper piecings that are included in the kit!
I used pop dots for dimension...
The title is from cutout sheet and
the moon and clouds from the bonus template...
That ghost is so cute... it woudn't harm a fly!

NEW Kits N Giggles Kit... Popsical Paradise

So this is our NEW kit for this month over at Kits N Giggles. Oh, I just LOVE it!! I had these perfect pics to put on it of a day out in the backyard with the kids playing in the pool and eating popsicles with the neighbors and their cousins. Ashley did such a wonderful job with the penguin paper piecing while I designed the cutout sheet that works so nicely with the patterned paper! I was so excited that I got a layout AND a page out of this kit and I think if I would have tried harder I could have gotten another page out of it!

So head over to

Kits N Giggles
and get this kit... you will LOVE it too!

Here is my example...

I used my Cuttlebug embossing folders & Stickles
on the swimsuits that the penguins are wearing...I added the buttons from my stash...I used pop-dots to add a bit of character...

Here is my extra page that I squeezed out of the same kit.
I love these pics of my sweet little Shay...

I LOVE Stickles... can you tell?!

So Stink'n Much kit...

So we finally have another kit up for sale over at

Kits N Giggles

This one is called "So Stink'n Much" and I absolutely LOVE it!! It was SO fun to put together and easy too! The reason I love it so much is because of the darling skunks that Ashley designed... they are supposed to represent an adult and a child. I used my adult skunk as Grandpa and the child as my son. They both come with bows that can be used to show that the skunk is either a boy or a girl... super smart of her! :) And Julio and I designed the cutout sheet this time around which was SO much fun... we've never did anything like it before, we think it turned out perfect... very versitile! Here is my take... I hope you enjoy!

Grandfather and Grandson...

The kit also comes with "bonus" templates

of a tree, a mushroom and clouds!
I used my CuttleBug to emboss the tree...

I made it looks like a scene in the middle of the layout...

Hop into Spring kit

Our very 1st Kit N Giggles Kit...
Hop into Spring!

Here is my take on this kit put together
using my cute kids as inspiration!

I totally love Stickles (glitter glue)...

I put a bit on all the titles and flowers.

Girl bunny... I added the pink bow from my stash.

Here is a close up of how I detail my bunny and chick...

With an angled makeup sponge, I use a sand colored ink to shade around each piece of the bunny before I assemble her. I use a rose pink ink for the pink parts using the same technique. Then I assemble her sometimes using pop dots, sometimes not... it just depends on what look I'm going for! On this layout, I used pop dots on the nose, hands and feet and then again when I adhered her to my page. Then I take regular old colored pencils in sandy brown colors and doodle around the edges of my bunny. And for the pink cheeks, I use a little pink chalk with a q-tip, but sometimes I'll use the rose pink ink on a make up sponge too. For the white accents, I use a white gel pen and a black gel pen for the eye lashes.

After it is all assembles on the page, then I go back in a use a little Diamond Glaze on the nose, feet. As for the chick... pretty much the same thing went into detailing him just different colors of course.

I used my own buttons for the centers of the flowers!
I uses Cuttlebug Embossing dies on eggs and flowers...
Boy bunny... (no bow) hehe

Kits N Giggles

So my friend Jill (JillsPaperJems) and I are starting up a little business...

Kits N Giggles!

We are going to be making scrapbook layout kits that have our very own paper piecing in them and exclusive cut out sheets designed and created by my sister Kendra... her craft name is Daisy Doo, check her out!! We are starting off a little slow and just testing the waters to see how they do. Excited is an understatement on how we feel!! :)

How it works:

Our kits will include matching pattern paper, colored cardstock, ribbon, some of our darling paper piecing (disassembled, ready for you to put your creative touch to them), tracing templates for extras like flowers and eggs, and instructions and tips on how to get your creative juices flowin'. *Kits may vary to include more or less.

Our first kit ("Hop into Spring") is priced at $11.99 plus shipping. They are going to be priced a little differently mainly because they will include different things each time but we are going to try not to waiver too much. Hopefully in the future, we can have a set price!

Every kit, Jill and I will be putting one of them together with our own spin on them. We will then post them on our own personal blogs, so if you would like, once you purchase one of the kits, you can get a few ideas for your own. We also will be giving our tips on how we detail our paper piecing so if you need a little help in the beginning! :)

Oh and Kendra will not only be creating our exclusive cutout sheets, she has also agreed to become one of our designers!! So you will also get to see her spunky talent! ;)

Wish us luck!! ;)
