Don't Forget Happy Day LO for a Sketch n Scrap challenge

 Good morning and welcome to my blog. Happy May and Happy National Scrapbook Day! It's our holiday and I plan to enjoy it scrapbooking! So lets start off the month with a special sketch for today from Sketch n Scrap blog 

I had fun creating just an everyday layout with this sketch I used a cutfile for the heart and had some fun stenciling too.

This microwave became an addition to the apartment in April 2025 even thought I bought it late 2024, so it sat in the box for a few months before finally getting put out on the counter. The spatula holder has moved since this picture was taken. I used some old Simple Stories 24/7 collection for this.

CKC - April 2026 Kit Reveal - Whats Cookin'

 Good morning! Happy May! Welcome back to my blog, busy busy busy lately with work so not got to enjoy the weather as much as I would have liked last month. It's the 1st so that means it's a new month and a new kit to counterfeit. You'll find the hop list at the end of the post :) 

 Let's kick off the month with our inspiration... the Echo Park Mom's Kitchen collection. While this kit has a very specific theme as always we encourage you to make it your own. 

Misty is our host this month and this is what she says about her choice: There is a story behind this kit choice! I chose this kit as nod to Thanksgiving when I was supposed to host in November. However, schedules changed and I swapped for May hosting. I decided this kit could still work with bolder colors heading toward summer. Plus with Mother's Day in May the title of Mom's Kitchen felt just right. So glad it worked out.
 Let's take a look.

Here is my kit for May:

What's Cookin' 

Here are the papers

Instead of the tags in the sketch I used this fun cutfile. Playing along with Kit Conspiracy this month and this week its a pirate style collection so I made sure to get these pictures scrapped from my Lake Seneca Lake cruises day trip.
