Featured Etsian Artist~kcustomcreations



~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

I was interviewed by One Little Bird!

Please make a pit stop at this lovely blog and check out my first interview.

(How exciting for me)

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~




kcustomcreations has some of the most adorable and original scrap booking pages I've seen yet.
She sells scrap booking supplies, Premade Layouts, Page Kits, Board Books, Altered Items, and cards. Great for crafty memorabilia fanatics! (or moms)

Her Veteran Books would have been a perfect give for Memorial Day (Wish I had featured her sooner!) But really, it'd be a wonderful gift for any veteran on any given day.

I haven't seen a scrapbook made into words like these, as you can tell-I'm totally swooning over these! Yes... I said I'm swooning over scrap books.. Fantastic Scrapbooks.

Out of all the Word Books, the Spring Book is my favorite. The colors and the embellishments are just delightful. It really lures you in like a Scrap booking Siren's Call.

This "12x12 Premade 2 page layout - Under Construction - Girl" is just darling! I only wish I had it for my own scrapbook when my girls were still "under construction" Seriously, How cute is that!? You Love it too! (I can tell)








~Tell me what YOU would love to use in your own scrapbooks~



I'm a stay at home wife that works part time at a local photography studio. I have been married to my best friend for 6 years. About 2 years ago we built our dream home on a lake in southwest Missouri. I have 2 grown stepchildren and hope to become a grandmother in the next year or so. Most of my days are spent in my studio creating a new layout or working on a custom project.














I have always had a creative side, even as a child. I have messed around with floral design, crocheting, and quilting. When I was in the 8th grade I made my first scrapbook. I continued doing a very basic form of scrap booking all through high school and then took about a 10 year break from it. In 1999 a friend reintroduced me to the world of scrapping. Wow, there were so many pretty papers and stickers to choose from and my love affair with scrap booking started all over again. Over the past 10 years my passion has grown into a career and I completely love it.










My inspiration comes from so many different things. My ladybug layout was inspired by a little girls outfit. Some layout designs are inspired by magazine ads, song titles, or even activities that I enjoy. But to be completely honest, I dream about many of my designs and when I wake up, I'll head directly up to my studio and create my dream. Some of my most favorite creations come from my dreams.












One random fact: My family calls me the stalkerazzi when we are on vacation because I have been known to snap at least 1200 pictures on a one week trip.

I was just randomly browsing through the great 'world' of Etsy and found these sweet store... The bootie and rattle sets melted my heart! So of course, I had to show them off and melt your heart as well!
My daughter's little piggies just keep growing so darned fast, I wonder if these can be made in her size.. hmm... (Can be made up to 12 months, I'm in luck!)
They're just too cute to pass up! I am a huge sucker for baby booties..
Which set is your favorite?


"The love of crafting was inspired within me through my mother's example. I would sit next to her for hours while she knit or crochet and soon I learned to hold a crochet hook before I learned to hold a pencil. By the age of five, I had mastered the art of crochet well enough to create my own designs, soon I learned to knit. I hope that by my example my now young children are inspired with the love of creating as I was at their age. "

"Welcome!
