January Scrap-A-Long 2013

Firstly, Kiki Love Creations wants to send out the best of wishes for a fun and creative New Year! We plan to have 2013 filled with more crafts, posts, challenges and more!

This year one of our goals is to get you, our readers, more involved! For those of you who love scrapbooking and card making, this is the place to show us your creativity following each monthly challenge. I will be uploading my work at the end of each month and you can as well by uploading to our Linky Party or by emailing us if you would prefer us to upload it for you. You can find this month's Linky party here.

So enough talking about that, let's get to the good stuff! I would like to learn more about my readers so this month will give us all a better idea at who we are and what's important to us.

1) Your page will revolve around the title: 

'Me and the Things I Love'

•  The title doesn't have to be on the page but is a guideline as to what your page should be about.

2) You must have at least one picture of yourself on the page. 

3) Your page's main color will be your favorite color.

4) Your favorite season should be incorporated somehow.

Side notes:

• This page can be done in any size.
• This page should really describe you.

When your done with your page, feel free to upload it here  or email us at kikilovecreate@gmail.com to have us upload it for you. And feel free to include a description with your picture to introduce yourself! Voting will start January 25th 2013 for your favorite to get a possible feature spot!

Also don't forget to grab a button whether it be to keep up to date on the challenges or if you are participating.

A Little About Me

I am a mother of two boys and a wife to an amazing husband! I work for the local school district so during the school year, I will most likely be less active but the summer months allow me to dedicate more time to this blog! 

As for my crafting, my husband actually complains that I have 'too many hobbies' but its what I love to do. I love to crochet but I also love to scrapbook and make cards. I run a crochet store through Etsy.com and a Facebook page just for my handmade crochet items. Please feel free to check it out at http://www.facebook.com/myphotojewelry. Most my items revolve around my other favorite hobby!

I love photography!! Most of my crochet items are for photography props but love to make anything my hook allows me to! I'm hoping to be a registered photography business within a year and I believe photography can be an art in itself. I love to capture any special moments the camera will allow me to see!

Learning new crafts and being creative with the supplies I have is always a fun challenge to me! My mother and I have crafted together for several years together and always loved to find challenges for each other. So when Stephanie came to me with the opportunity of creating a crafting blog, I jumped at the chance. This is one of her many great ideas and I'm honored to be a part of it.

Outside of my crafting world, I love to spend time outdoors. There is a family cabin that my family and I love to spend time at no matter what season. In the warmer months, I love to sit out in the backyard while my children play and crochet! And I love crafting with the oldest one and making homemade games (the younger boy is only one so I haven't really done any crafts with him yet.) As this blog ages, I will be sharing the numerous things my children and I love to do together, including our fun handmade games!

Again, we encourage you to not just be a reader but also to challenge us!! Tell us what you want to see, tell us what you want to learn.... we'll try to become the 'crafting, hobby and so much more' blog that you can't wait to see what comes from us next!

Until next craft....
