Life Documented...yes indeed! It still feels surreal, living in a pandemic and trying to be as 'normal' as we can! Who would have envisioned we would be trending #stayhome #covid19 #quarantine, am I right?!!

Well for some of us it means getting to those 'projects' and 'to-do lists' that we've been putting off because we didn't have time...boy have the tables turned on us now!

I don't know about you but I've been home pretty much full-time since March 11th...so that is what... 4 weeks!? 

We listed my house two months ago and now that we've stopped showing, I can bring in the bins of scrapbook product I've been meaning to do something with! (LOL) 

So I've been cutting and prepping and creating some pre-cut Kwik Kits to add to my mobile store...now that there isn't a mobile store needed in this current new 'normal'...I figured I could show them off here! I have a limited number of each of these kits, so if anyone would like one, let me know!

This layout is featuring a new cut file in our Cricut Everyday Moments Collection. Pair this with some older paper packs I've been collecting called Dotty for You!

The Sweet Life $11.50

Ok, so how cute is this?!!! It's all cardstock but LOADS of Cricut cuts! Also from our new Cricut Everyday Moments Collections.

 Magical $16.50

So who would've known I had some oldies but goodies in my stash?!! I didn't! This layout sat on my workspace and started as one thing and ended up here...can't wait to add some photos of John in his garage with his '66 Chevelle!

 Man Cave $14.95

I've added another cut from the Cricut Everyday Moments Collection, the Star outline is a fun one and I think this paper line was called 'Rock'On' ? maybe...

Hooray for You! $11.50

Message me on Facebook or by email if you'd like to grab one of these Kwik Kits, first come first serve as I do have limited numbers of each.

You should have arrived from Kim's Blog

I played with the Celebrate Today Cardmaking kit and my watercolours! It was fun and easy to create these cards using the guide in this card kit and as usual, they always look far more fabulous in person!

I die cut these balloon dies with the exclusive card kit first and then I used my watercolour inks and my water brush to create the background on the stamped image.

This layout was the featured one in our Celebrate Today Scrapbooking kit...you may think this collection is centred around birthdays but I've used this to highlight my daughter's recent Graduation from her nursing program!

I've added our Story By Stacy stickers to add the LPN. I absolutely love those tiny alphabet stickers!

Can you see these sequins behind the vellum? How cool an idea is that!

Our newest Workshop kits are FABULOUS! If you haven't checked them out yet, you need to!

Here's all the images included in this stamp set...

...add some sequins, watercolour pencils and water...helped to have some of the Twinery twine on hand too!

 I've also used our Rectangle Stitched Thin Cuts (which are so popular, they're on backorder!) I'm a huge fan of this I Heart Us paper collection and the bright cheerful colours as well !

Our watercolour pencils are fantastic to use on their own or add water using our waterbrush to give you a true watercolour effect.

If you came from Corinna's Crafts then you are in the right place! 

I'm loving these CTMH halloween papers even if I don't have any little monsters at home anymore...well sometimes they are little monsters but they aren't so little and they don't dress up and embrace Halloween like they used too ;)  

Here's the new sketch from Let's Scrap Sketches...I was playing with the layout design in this sketch and just kept getting stuck...so I rotated the sketch and my layout evolved from there :)

My little pooches do embody the 'Monster' qualities sometimes...

I'm pleased with how it turned out. Remember that a sketch is supposed to inspire you...often times the layout design will evolve around your photos and papers and embellishments :)

The 'double' and stars are the new glitter chip bits in our Jeepers Creepers Complements package...along with some super fun stickers...

The purple is our new 'Pansy' colour...lovin' it <3 font="">

Your next stop on the Cross Canada Hop is Michelle!
