Aloha Friday Inspiration

Hi all - I realized that I never properly introduced myself!!


My name is Kelli, but I am often called "cee" (it's a long story) and usually go by "kel". I am a 30-yo happily married mother of 2 boys, lovingly referred to as Big A (9) & Little A (5) on my blog, Scraps & photoGRAFFS.  I am also mama to 2 puppies and one pretty(-old) little kitty, all adopted from our local shelter. All 5 kids are rotating subjects of my scrapbooking pages and inspire the supplies I pick up for my papercrafting.

I love to read, work in my garden (which my puppies have literally eaten up!!), meditate, make/listen to music, cook/bake and study. 

wait, did she say study?!? 

haha! One of my life goals is to be multilingual and I am barely conversational in both Japanese and Korean, teaching myself and learning as I go.  I am also on a short break from college, where I am pursuing concurrent degrees in History and Asian Studies.

I have been papercrafting since 2003 when I got pregnant with Big A. I like to call myself 'a scrapbooker who also makes cards,' but might also have to start calling myself a cardmaker to justify my stamp collection!  I also knit, sew, and will probably start crocheting because I can't get myself to give away my grandmother's crocheting yarns
!!

Here's this week's Aloha Friday Inspiration using Sewing Kit:


Mahalo Nui Loa.  만나서 반갑습니다. さよなら.
Thanks so much.  Nice to meet you.  Bye

Next week we'll be introducing our other DT member.  Only 2 weeks to go before we start our Aloha Friday Challenges, I'm excited!!

Aloha Friday Inspiration!

Howdy howdy!! Kelli here again with a quick post and card to share.  My younger son (whom I call Little A on my blog, Scraps & photoGRAFFS), turns 6 tomorrow so I have barely had time to sit down and craft this week.  I've been doing the only other thing we crafters seem to do... CLEAN UP.  haha!!  I'm definitely the type who crafts until I run out of space and am FORCED to clean up. What type of crafter are you??

I'm using one of those ADORABLE Funny Buns for this card.  How cute is he? And can I be proud of myself for only using scraps & leftover embellishment bits for this card??
