June 2010 Kits

This is my very first month launching my scrapbook project kit website!  This is so exciting for me and a dream come true.  So many people over the past few years have encouraged me in this direction and I finally decided to take the plunge!  My goal is to bring you the scrapbook and paper craft kits you are looking for.  So please post here on the blog or contact me via e-mail at any time with your feedback.  I want to hear from you! 

So, lets take a real look at the June kits.  How about we start with the Good Eats Recipe Mini album kit?  The love the old fashioned feel of this book and the fact that it is the perfect size to have out while baking.  How many times I've had out a large cookbook that just kept getting in the way!  I love the fact you just flip to the page you want and start cooking one of your favorite recipes.  My book is a collection of recipes from my grandmother, mom, and friends.  So many yummy and treasured recipes are in this book. 

Each page has it's own unique style and design!  You will find clipped pages, lower pocket pages, and side pocket pages, right along with single recipe card pages  This is a great scrapbook kit to get your creative juices flowing.  You can actually fill this little book with a lot of recipe cards since it has the pockets and clip.  That means you can fit several recipe cards into one pocket or under the clip allowing you to maximize your space.  The photo above is one of my mom's cookie recipes that she shared with me many years ago.  There is something that is very special to me seeing that recipe in my mom's own handwriting.  See why hand journaling is so important? 

The second kit for June is the Summer Birdhouse project kit.  Wooden birdhouses have to be one of my favorite things to alter.  I love the fact that you can make them seasonal because there are always birds around.  So this one is for summer and as you can see in the photo above I have it displayed proudly on my fireplace mantle.  I actually create seasonal displays year round (spring, summer, fall, and winter) and a birdhouse is a wonderful part of a seasonal display.  What do you think?  Should I offer seasonal birdhouse kits over the course of the next two years?  So may a winter birdhouse kit? 

As you can see in the photo I have added a bird to the perch.  Although this is not included in the paper crafting project kit I wanted to show you how I add the bird to my seasonal display.  Right now we seem to have cardinals everywhere and my 6 year old loves to spot them so I thought she would have great fun seeing one in our living room each day.

Please feel free to leave me a comment and let me know which kit is your favorite!  I love hearing from you!

Happy Crafting!
