This one time... Teaming up with

We have a new monthly blog post over at Cocoa Daisy called  "Teaming up with..." The idea came while we were in CHA. There were 5 of us, Stephanie, Denise, Sharmaine, Lisa and myself we all got dressed up, packed into the booth, and had a laugh in the ‘Me and My Big Ideas’ photo booth. We all have the same photo. Lisa thought it would  fun for all of us to scrap with this photo and see what we each came up with.So that’s how this new monthly feature came about.
So here are all the girls layouts.

Here is Stephanie’s layout.


Here’s Sharmaine’s.


Here is Denise’s layout.


Mine


And lastly but certainly not least my favorite little funky fairy Lisa.









That is one thing I love about Cocoa Daisy we are all so different yet connected in at least one way.  The Cocoa Daisy ladies are really good for this gal's soul.

Have fabulous Friday and be sure to come back for my crazy Saturday 7. ~MK

this one time...Sketchbook Tag sneaks

****borrowed post from Cocoa Daisy Blog to give you all the info. 
For March, we’ve put together an art-inspired kit we call Sketchbook. The trusty place artists go to commit their ideas to paper before they start working on the canvas is now a kit full of happy spring colors, textures, and shapes. Just like the small inspiration pieces that can fill an artist’s note book, we have gathered bits and pieces to give you plenty of inspiration as you create your masterpieces.
And because we’ve been selling out a little quicker than we expected, we’ve increased availability this month. We listened!
 Kits and adds on go on sale to subscribers February 28th at 9 PM EST. February is a short month, so to give our subscribers a bit more time, we’ve move back our general public purchase date to 2nd of March at 12 midnight.
Not a subscriber? It’s easy to join and you won’t ever miss out on the main kit. The past few months we’ve been selling out within hours of going on sale to our subscribers. We are increasing our kit numbers, but we don’t want you to miss out! Join us!

 LIMITED TIME OFFER
Are you worried about committing to a kit club for 6 months? Perhaps you feel uncomfortable budgeting out that far ahead? Well, we have a special offer just for you!
For a limited time, we are offering a Cocoa Daisy 3 month subscription! When you sign up for a 3 month subscription, you pay for the three months upfront. When your subscription is up, it will not auto renew (but, if you find you are loving Cocoa Daisy, simply sign up for a 6 month subscription--which will also save you some money!).
This is the perfect no hassle way to give Cocoa Daisy a try! You will be included in the subscriber pre-sale of add ons just like a regular subscriber, and your add ons will ship with your main kit.
The cost for a prepaid 3 month subscription is only $95.85 + S&H.
This special offer runs from February 15th to March 1st.


Stamps
A tag with some fun extras, a graphic set up of vintage wooden stamps, and a city map make up our March Stamp Subscription, you’re going to love them all!
Sign up for our Stamp Subscription and get a great value plus some amazing stamps, every month! You’ll get the three stamp sets shown above for only $14.50 plus shipping and handling. You can buy the stamps separately, but you’ll save money with the subscription.

this one time... the Saturday 7

Since I'm a day late and a dollar short for Friday we shall now have the Saturday 7! Who's with me?  On with the show....

1. I LOVE this CD it plays over and over either in the car or on my ipod.

2. I have been having a lot of fun with Skype lately. If you don't have it Dude get out the dark ages(i just turned my rock over lol). I love that I can chat with and see my friends here in the states and my favorite people all the way across the world. Mr.K thinks I'm crazy when I yell "hey, come here so and so want to meet you!"

3. This week we took a trip down memory lane. The girls got all the scrapbooks out on Valentine's day and we sat looking thru them all. It's funny to see how my style has but at the same time hasn't changed much.
4. I absolutely hate when you contact someone on Craigslist and they never respond back! Dude, seriously is it that hard  to remove your damn post or respond to the email? AHH! What am I Craigslist surfing for you ask? A Boxer. Yes, another dog to add to our crazy life. My Dukers is getting old and my Gma suggested it would be a good idea to get another while we have him so that the pup learns from Duke and will be there for me not to replace Duke but to pick up the pieces. Duke is a HUGE part of my everyday he's always at my side, by my feet(as I type this that's where he is), or following me to the next room.

5. I finally took some new head shot photos this week. I needed one otherwise it probably wouldn't have happened. I'm not that fond of photos of myself. I know the rundown about my kids and future generations needing photos of me but I seriously just don't like having my mug show up on camera. but since i told you i have one i might as well share right?
6. I am loving hats and scarves now. I think Christine has inspire this new accessory love. I'm making an effort to be a tad more girly for my girls sake.

7. Last but not least number seven. here at casa K we are movie watchers so let me list 7 movies on DVD and tell you good or don't waste your time.
1. GOOD!

2. Wasted time(Mr.K & I both didn't like it)

3.GOOD! all my kids love this and so do us adults

4. Good. This is a momma bear movie for sure.

5.AWESOME! I love anything with Clint Eastwood tho. 

6. GOOD! Both kids & adults.

7. GOOD! I love anything with Channing Tatum. Mr.K liked it too. 
we've seen others but these were the ones that came to mind tonight.  TED was funny, Cosmo something with Robert Pattinson we turned it off because it was naughty! yes that naughty and we just didn't get into the movie. The Bourne Legacy Mr.K watched and liked.
Have a great weekend!~MK

This one time... my friend Laina Lamb

I was so excited when my friend Laina Lamb emailed me asking if I'd like to create with her new dies and stamps. Laina is so sweet and is like SUPER DUPER talented!We got to chat a bit a CHA and she just radiates awesomeness and inspires you to create!
I was instantly in love with the dies and stamps that she sent!I'm not a die cutter or a stamping guru you all know that but I can tell you that these dies and stamps had me so excited I went out and bought a new machine because my old one didn't work with these wafer thin dies.  ok enough of my rambling on with the cool stuff!
I received the following goodies to create with 
 Dies
Stamps
and here is what I created

This layout about My Girl Mandie uses both dies and stamps sets. I love the look of the stacked frames.
 This fun layout from CHA with Denise & Steph again uses both dies and stamp sets.  

and a couple of mini cards using the smile stamp
Have a great weekend!~MK

This one time...It was already Saturday where'd my week go?

Yes, I think I shall start all my blog title with the: this one time... it makes me laugh because the first thing that plays in my head is the scene from American Pie where Michele tells Jim "this one time at band camp..." HA!! So immature but oh so funny so laugh!! ok on with the post...

So lets see what did I do this week that's interesting? Well....
 let's start backwards.

FRIDAY: Snowday for the kids. Movies & I created some fun stuff that will be posted so. I also got to Skype with my friend Kim Garner it was fun. I think it's going to be a weekly date.Got to talk with  D for a bit too. Missing her but I'm so glad to hear her voice a couple times a week. I got the Sweetest video text from my super fab friend Mandie Pierce. She's just so awesome in so many ways!!Totally made my day.

THURSDAY: wild goose chase to find this Sizzix Vintaj adapter only to find out no one in the area carries it. talk about pissed so I ended up making something else work. You can see part of what I needed it for in the above photo but that's all I'm sayin for now. While on my wild goose chase I saw this magazine. I still can't believe it when I see my work in print it just doesn't seem possible.Crazy! Started the Paleo diet again.

WEDNESDAY:For some reason I don't remember. I think this was one of my "Bad Days" and I slept a lot. then did the mom stuff after school.
NO PHOTO 
TODAY SORRY

TUESDAY: Doctors appointment oh how I remember this cause she just about sucked all my blood out of me. I was mad! Thank God my Gpa is a match so I know I can get hooked up with more blood if needed.Not so fond of the Doctors currently. But its ok. I rewarded myself with Chipotle for lunch. 
then this Dude and i had a little fun with photo booth apps on the phone to entertain us while we waited for the sisters. Oh and I have to point out tat I felt stylish with my little getup i wore that day. I thought oh Christine and Denise would be so proud.LOL they know their fashion and y'all know I'm totally CLUELESS


and i ended the night skyping with this goofball.LOVE My Sharmaine!

MONDAY: I slept the morning away. woke up did some work. piddled around then the crazy afternoon rush hit. I wore my super Fab boots even rocked them SoCal style with funky socks and leggings. I also too the test that all the other cool peeps on Instagram too so here it is.Think whatever I was just uh ok. 


and now on to today Saturday what will it hold for the family K? Lets hope that Mav and I sleep in as the other are off on an adventure which is all goes as planned Mr.K will have photos for me to share. cross your fingers he is a dude and he will have Miss A tagging along and she'll have a bazillion questions and be bored outta her mind so its quite possible he will forget the picture taking so then I'll have Miss A draw y'all a picture.

HAVE A SUPER DUPER FABULOUS WEEKEND!!IF YOU"RE STILL READING HERE SAY HI! 
thanks`MK
