Playing with my Art Freckles Kits ~ Love their kits!

One of my favorite places to buy kits is at Art Freckles!!! Shannon puts together some really amazing, original kits with ephemera she creates herself! So cool....and my girls love that she includes candy! They are equally as excited as I am when those kits arrive!

Here are a few pages created recently with some past and present kits!

A few projects made a few weeks ago

A couple of journals for the girls to use this summer! Great for journaling about their summer vacation!

Decorated wooden pencils boxes I made for the teachers' year end gifts! Stuffed them with gum, mints, and all kinds of goodies!

The Last of The Wedding Challenges

It's been so much fun participating in the Wedding Crop! Great challenges by the hostess, thanks so much! Here are the last few I completed!

I have to note here that the paper choices (the 2 larger squares and the wide strip down the left side of the layout are lifted from a DT member at Art Freckles. Then I went in my own sort of....direction...but I thank Kim for the inspiration)
Made my very own lollipop flowers here! Love those things!

I Love the Rain....

...But I love rainbows even more!!! This is the view from my back deck this evening! I wish I was able to get a shot of it all in one view...but it was HUGE! ....quick pic, I was getting raindrops on my lens!!!

A Few More Pages for the Wedding Party Crop!

I laugh as I post these 2 pages....of the same child! She's always so silly and smiley and usually very giggly!! This birthday page is made with some awesome supplies from the newest Lovebug Kit and is for one of the Wedding crop challenges. This page is for the weekend challenge, something old, something new, something borrowed and something blue. This page is a "scraplift" challenge...see this thread for Carla's page that I lifted!
