060123 CKC June Kit Reveal & Blog Hop

 

 Welcome, June!

Master Forger of Ceremonies Tara has chosen a bright & breezy inspiration kit for June, but first let's meet her Guest Designer Stacy! Here is her Instagram account.  Leave her some love!

 My Name is Stacy James - I am the mother of two adult daughters, 29/30 Brittany and Caitlyn and two grandchildren Harper 3 and Tommy who will be 2 in July! My husband Dan and I live in Saint Paris , Ohio and have two crazy pets Max who I call my baby dinosaur because he’s an English Mastiff and grows more everyday, and Jack a Persian who looks like Wilford Brimley! I’m a full time adjudicator for the state of Ohio - but I am also a full time memory keeper ❤️ I’ve been scrapbooking since the late 80’s and have taught at stores (when they were everywhere) and now am proud to be on a couple amazing design teams - Traci Reed and Syncopation . You can more often than not find me on my Instagram daily and weekly on my YouTube since Anna has taught me how to utilize it ❤️! As for my style - it’s whimsical,colorful and wordy … I am a huge fan of the story . I truly believe that though we all love the ephemera and the pretty- without the story - the who, the what,and the why, we lose the grit! Because I’m 25+ years when someone grabs the album if they don’t know who is in the photo, where it was why it was taken what will they see? Pretty flowers and strangers. So my style in a nutshell is making sure my stories don’t leave strangers on pretty pages ! I can’t wait to play this month with all of you ❤️❤️❤️ 

Our inspiration kit is a digital kit from Weeds & Flowers Supply Co!  Tara says:  This is a new kit club to me and I thought that the kit that I chose was very summery with its bright colors and fun icons!  Here's the direct link to the  The Friendship Collection kit:

 

Tara has posted all of the detail pictures on the main CKC June Kit Reveal post

As always I begin with the papers.


 

I have a few less papers but chose some washi tape in similar patterns to substitute.

Here is the rest of my kit:


Yes - it's a whopper! I just spent the month of May doing a LayOut A Day (LOAD) challenge. I used up my May CKC kit including an entire BasicGrey collection pack that I included, so this month I added the two bright collections seen on the right.  My entire flair stash is in here to save fetching it every time I scrap. Three packs of floral diecuts & all of the whimsical, bright & happy elements I could find! I included an alpha stamp set as well as a floral.

I can't imagine killing this kit without the LOAD challenge, but I'm definitely in a new rhythm of daily creating, so we'll see!

Now be sure not to miss a stop on the hop:

 


Be sure to come back tomorrow to the CKC main blog for the Just the Gist of It post from Tara to help you get inspired for your own kit!
