Holidays

It’s the holidays already over at Kelly Purkey Shop!

Els was a witch in preschool. But the trick or treating pic was in elementary school. I clearly did not have my shit together.

This gifting set is so cute, so many cute details to go along with your gifts, my favorite being the personalization of the tag stamps! This one could be used all year long!

We went to the Highland Park lot and were amazed at how expensive it all was. And the trees were all different colors. So we went to Home depot 🙂

I realized how little pictures I actually take of my tree once it’s up. Going to get the tree seems to be my favorite photo opp. 🙂 🙂

Happy first day of school to my family today, nice to have these sweet holiday memories for me to look forward to since I’m already missing everyone and missing summer! This was one of my favorite photos of all 4 of the kids this summer. Heavenly!

Edited++ One of the water holes in AZ. Looks murky but it was really refreshing. Can’t get over the backdrop to all these AZ photos. Unreal. Just so hot. Such special time with Nu. ❤

Ah, June stamp sets already? How did we get here so quickly?! I have enjoyed playing with these sets this month. These colors are just everything! So fun and happy!
And it’s been awhile, but I loved decorating my planner for an upcoming trip!

Holy cow I’m glad I wrote down what we did. I feel like we need to do that trip again.

Hi there! How is it JUNE already?! That means we are halfway done with 2016?! WHAT!!! The acrylic word, the chipboard numbers, the stamp set (make a wish and the candles) I stamped onto the watercolored tabs, the washi and the acetate circles and the specialty paper. LOVE it all!!

Kelly Purkey May release, including a kit I designed! :)

This month at Kelly Purkey’s shop, I was able to design a kit and have it come to life! I designed this stamp set and some 4×4 cards. I was inspired by the things I love most: love, home and family. I am so excited to see it and feel it in my hands and USE them! I can’t wait to see others begin to use them. I’ve seen a bit and will compile a blog post on that shortly! Kelly’s stamps and cards this month are so fun. I love the words are the greatest gift card because I am actually always telling my husband, just give me words. He has a gift with the words and I treasure them completely. So this month really hit home for me.

Here’s a little spread I made in my passport size midori. Our oldest daughter is off to University this fall and there are so many feelings that go with that, that I knew I wasn’t ready to dive in and let the tears loose! So starting small with the little passport size I love.

My new ‘Summer of Sketches’ class!

I am so excited to announce a new class I will be teaching during the summer at Studio Calico. It’s called Summer of Sketches and is enrolling now! I have an amazing set of contributors who will be joining me and we are going to be doing something fun with the class- it’ll be a sketch class in Round Robin form! It’ll start with a sketch/layout and then we will pass it on to the next person who will then interpret that sketch to their own and pass it on! I’m so excited to see it unfold! (wow, i really ended each sentence with an exclamation point)

Check out the stamp set Tina from Life Love Paper designed for the class! (Edited: I was going to delete this but how crazy that someone designed something that’s so me)

12 start-to-finish videos from Jamie, showing how she went from sketch to finished layout. Jamie will be sharing tips and tricks for adapting layouts to fit the number and sizes of photos you have, and ideas for switching them up to keep your projects looking fresh, no matter how many times you use the same sketch.
Round robin inspiration : See how each sketch changes as it passes from one artist to another! We’ll start each week’s lesson with a sketch based on Jamie’s work, then each scrapbooker will work from a sketch of the layout created by the person before them.
36 all new layouts from Jamie and her contributors
48 sketches – 12 sketches based on Jamie’s past work, plus 36 more based on the class projects.
A printable PDF of all of the class sketches
Access to a class message board and gallery, where you can share and learn with your teacher and fellow students
Weekly challenges to inspire you to use what you’ve learned
Live chat with your teacher and fellow students

I HOPE YOU WILL JOIN US! I just came back from a trip to NYC where it was COLD and rainy and I realized, I cannot wait for the summer!

Paislee Press free download for Digital SB day!

Digital Scrapbook day is next Saturday and the amazing Liz has put this set together for you, free download until Tuesday, May 3rd. There’s photo templates, available in 3×4 and 4×6 sizes, featuring hand drawn script. The individual wordart elements are also included as individual PNG files. I printed a few pieces out for an upcoming trip I’m taking and using my new Passport Size Midori Traveler’s Notebook to keep it all together. I’m beyond excited! 🙂

Edited: Jon Canlas took that photo of me and dad. Just Cam and Els came all the way down to San Diego to take pics with him that day. He asked us to come for some workshop he was shooting, I think?? We got some nice pics that day. I think Dad and Cam didn’t love them but I did. The city says NYC birthday weekend, I guess the weekend we went when Grampies got sick? It kinda looks like San Fran for dad’s bday but see that’s why we write things down.

New KP release with Christine Herrin

I'm beyond thrilled to share a peek of the Christine Herrin collection with Kelly Purkey! The stamp and kit release are live on Mon 28th at noon and you can check them out here! I haven't had a chance to play with them yet as I've had my daughter's 10th birthday party and Easter to get through but now I have a week before spring break and I intend to use my spare time playing with these goodies! I don't know why our spring break is so late, usually we have it the week before easter or the week just after easter. Anyways, I thought I was mad about it but I'm actually liking having one more week to have my schedule in place then a week of sleeping in!!!!!! 🙂 Whether you're on break or not, hope you can pick up some of these goods. As with many of KP's products, they tend to sell out, so make sure you grab them while they're freshly stocked! Happy Monday!
