Kellie Stamps | Can't Stop Won't Stop

 Today I'm sharing a layout made using the digital stamp set OBSESSED available now from Kellie Stamps.

When I saw this stamp (even with the typo) I immediately thought about how much we love the silly snapchat face filters. I could literally make a layout of silly snapchats every week.

I sized the photos to 2x2 and offset them so I could stamp the date on the edge. I added some chipboard pieces along the edges as well.

When I see things stamped over and over like this, in my head its just repeating over and over again. Kind of like a mantra, but more like "these faces are hilarious and we'll never stop".

This post is super short because my internet is being really wonky lately so it's taken me longer than usual to get this up. The NEW sets of Kellie Stamps are being released later this month on JULY 27th so mark your calendar and follow Kellie Stamps on Instagram to see what we're up to (here).

Kellie Stamps | June Release

This month Kellie released one digital set, two physical sets and a set of stickers. The physical sets are available now for pre-order and the digital set can be purchased and received within 24 hours. If you pre-order the planner set you'll receive a free pencil.

Here I used the digital set OBSESSED and added happiness in a cup straight onto my photo and printed it out. This photo was included in my Week in the Life album (see it here).

 Here I used the OBSESSED digital set again and added them to the white half of a photo along with some journaling. I love how it looks with the words slightly overlapping the stamp. This was also included in my Week in the Life album.

Kellie also has a planner stamp called JOT IT DOWN available for pre-order. Here I used the "work" stamp to add a little bit extra to this card to add to my Week in the Life album. The pages I used it on won't be posted for a week or so, so below is a picture of it in the album.

Here's a peek at my Sunday pages from my Week in the Life album. I used the work card on the bottom right to document being at work.

 I also used the new JOT IT DOWN physical set that can be preordered (here) in my planner. I use a Get To Work Book (available here) and I love it. I shared this sneak on Instagram a few weeks ago.

I love the simple black white and grey colours of the Get to Work Book and generally write in black and stamp with black ink. It looks a little messy, but also a little clean. I love the simple colours and sometimes my life is this messy.

Sometimes I don't finish my action items because it was raining on and off all week and I just ran out of time. Maybe I'll bump them to next week, or maybe I'll just see how it goes. Sometimes my to do list is shifted around or repeated for the whole week. Sometimes I just let things go.

Thank you for coming by to see my simple projects using these stamps. I have some other projects to share as well, but the first half of the month was busy and I haven't had a chance to add finishing touches to share them. Have a wonderful day!

Kellie Stamps | May Release

Today I'm sharing my layout for the Kellie Stamps May release. This month I used another acrylic word from a past Story Kit (I love the big white title) and (this digital stamp) from Kellie Stamps which is also available as a physical pre-order until the 15th (here).

When Kellie told me she was releasing a label stamp I almost jumped for joy. I think I was at work when I saw the announcement I was just so stoked to be able to play with labels and have a purpose.

This layout tells the story of my niece asking if we can make a craft before she even says hi to me. I told a super short story and used the colours of the digital Craft Story Kit (no longer available but you can get the digital stamp HERE). I also used the physical stamp set to stamp a few sentiments on some of the labels.

Originally the date had been stamped on the top label, but I felt that the layout needed a frame and the date got cut off. I love how the stitching adds that little bit of texture to the layout. Even on the "STUFF" label where I stitched over the word.

I didn't stamp on all of the labels and my stitching wasn't always straight but I love how it turned out. I've been really into embracing all the white space lately, which is a huge deal because every art class I've ever taken has insisted that you have no white space.

I hope you all have a great weekend, and a Happy Mother's Day to all you mom's out there.

Kellie Stamps | April Release

Today I'm sharing a layout that makes my heart happy. I used pieces from a past Story Kit from Ali Edwards (I literally never use it while it's still available and I don't know why). I also used the cross stamp from this digital set of Kellie Stamps.

This layout took me a little while to put together, but once the pieces came together I couldn't stop looking at it.

I put all the pieces in a vertical line and kept everything pretty simple. I think the background paper could have been a little simpler, but I really wanted to use this paper that I made. I love that the red pieces stand out against the black and white.

I backed the hexagon heart this piece on white paper to keep it from blending into the background. I just stuck it on white paper and roughly cut around it. It's not perfect, but I love how it separates the two pieces. I also love the acrylic word. I've been using them on a lot of my projects lately, and I love them so much!

Thank you for coming by to see this spread. It's super simple and just documents my niece trying to write "Auntie Alex". She's only 5 and given her very small knowledge of words she did a really good job. I can't wait to watch her writing develop!

I also used the April release in my Day in the Life album (here).

Day in The Life | Finished Album

Today I'm sharing my Day in the Life album. I used pieces from the past AM/PM Story Kit from Ali Edwards (you can find out more information about the story kit subscription here), the Day in the Life kit (here) and Kellie Stamps from the AM TO PM, COFFEE and RAD. I made my album from two pieces of chipboard, some binder rings nad some yellow paint. I love how it turned out. I threw in some extra pieces from my stash as well, and love how all the pieces came together.

I did all of my journaling on 4x4 pieces for each section of the day (morning, afternoon, evening). I used the times on each of the photos, and wrote a sentence or two about what was happening at that time. I'm not adding any journaling between the photos, so leave a comment if you have any questions. Enjoy!

I had so much fun doing this project, and I absolutely look forward to doing it again later this year. I love the opportunity to document a day in my life with more detail than I normally would. It's also a great opportunity to make a mini album and try out some new things and see what works and what you don't like. I hope you have a wonderful day!
