Project Life.. way late! :(

 

 

I'm so behind on project life! :( Here's February.. I think I'm too being to catch up. Oh, well. I'll try..

 

 



Scrapbooking makes me so happy!

 I made a few layouts this weekend for a few challenges I wanted to enter in.

I just love Coloring with my Copics but it sure is so much fun to Scrapbook and go back and forth between the 2. Talk about getting a full taste of paper crafting!

This first one is a layout of my friends daughter on her first birthday. this little cutie will soon be my goddaughter. I just love this little girl to pieces!

I've used the sketch from the Pagemaps challenge. I'm also entering this layout in the

Gossamer Blue challenge to add a touch of gold.

I have used my Gossamer Blue Kit which has these beautiful papers from Crate Paper, and LOVE these frames and Flairs. I've also used some tags from Elle's Studio and Chic Tags, Alphas are American Crafts, stickers are My Minds Eye and balloons are Kasier Craft.

 

 

This next layout is from last year at my 30th Birthday. Ive used lots of Teresa Collins products, papers, brads and dies. I just adore the new lines she came out with at CHA. I've also used some Elle's Studio, Chic Tags, and the Flair is from Paper Bakery. The wood veeners are from Freckled Fawn.

A Few Layouts.

I just wanted to share some layouts I did this week. I'm on a roll!!

I've made 8 layouts and 6 cards in the last week since my kids have been off for Spring break.

Next week it's back to my busy routine.

Hopefully being ahead will give me motive to stay ahead..

...I'm having a blast with all my crafty things!

 

 This first page is of my oldest daughter.. about 2 years ago. :( Now she doesn't have bangs and she looks so much older without them.

This layout I made for the Gossamer Blue Scrap lift challenge.

I'm also going to enter it in the Gossamer Blue and Glitz Design Challenge.

I used Glitz Designs, Chic Tags and Elle's Studio products.

 

This next layout I made of my brother's girlfriend and I. She is so sweet and we get aong great. My kids adore her too. :) I think she's a keeper! ♥

 

I used some new My Minds Eye paper I got at the LSS a few weeks ago. I'm just loving orange lately! I popped on over to the MME blog and found a sketch challenge they are having. So I'm entering this in there.

This is another layout I made for the Gossamer Blue and Glitz Design Challenge.

It's of me and my other half.. at the Improv last month. :)

 

That's it for now. I'll be back Monday with a new challenge at Wild Orchid Crafts.



Time for a little 'Me Time!'

Hello out there in blogging land.

 

I have a scrapbook page I've been working on to show you. I love it!

I got my hair done last month and snapped a picture of me in the booth.. just so I could scrap it! :)

 

I've used some of my favorite Scrapbooking products and some newly discovered ones, too!

Heidi Swap is now on sale at Michaels.. I love how I can use a coupon.. and I love to see NEW stuff at Michaels!!I've also used some American Crafts products I found at Target.. I love that! So here's my grocery list.. shampoo, soap, toothpaste, buttons, paper.. :) hehe! I've also used my Chic Tags flair and some tags, from my buddy Veronica! Ohh on the bottom of my journaling I added a small part of the Elle's Label from a pack of her snippets. The perfect touch. I sooo need more Elle's Studio stuff!I've also used goodies from my Studio Calico Kit, Freckled Fawn, Basic Grey, Echo Park and

 Wild Orchicd Crafts.

 

I'm entering this layout into a few challenges.

Dear Lizzy has challenged to use a clear embossing technique.

Chic Tags challenge  is to use bling...

 and I've used a sketch from Elle's Studio.

 

I hope you like my layout, I really enjoyed making this one!

 

 



Project Life - January

I've decided to to do a monthly Project Life page spread. So here's my happenings from January.

I used my new Project Life Studio Calico Kit! I'm so happy I joined this!!!!!

 

I also used products from Chic Tags, Kaiser Craft, Elle's Studio, Freckled Fawn, My Minds Eye.

 

I hope you enjoy my January pages!

 

A Date Night - Layout!



Here's a layout I made of a 'Date Night' last August. Ralph and I went out to eat at Benihanas.

We LOVE Benihanas! Sushi. Mai Tai. Yummo!

 

I really love the way this turned out. I used Spring Love Digi Papers and the Spring Love 3x4 Digi Tags. The flair, triangle tag and yellow doily are from Chic Tags, Thanks you Veronica!!! I scored the yellow doily and made a rosette. The bakers twine and jute ribbon are from Wild Orchid Crafts and the adorable spotted button is by Dear Lizzy. Tell me you don't LOVE that Heart Pennant Die from La La Land Crafts. The wood arrow veeners are from Freckled Fawn and the  wood car one is by Studio Calico. Oh, and the little tag in the corner is from Elle's Studio! I took some sprits sprays and made some splatters around the paper. I LOVE the way it all turned out.

 

I hope you all like my page.

 

I'll be back tomorrow with my project for Wild Orchid Crafts!

Have a great Sunday!

Saturated Canary Challenge - Color Scheme



Project Life Week 1.

 

I'm a little behind with my Project Life project.. already, like I knew I would be.

It's ok though, as long as I take notes each week.. :)

I have just fallen in love with this whole Project Life idea. I think it's so much easier than Scrapbooking and you focus more on the memory of what you are doing. Plus, I love all the little pockets! I have used my digi-papers Spring Love and I've also made some little Tags and Arrows to match the papers AND some 3x4 Journal Cards! You can view them all in my Etsy Shop!

I also have used some tags from Chic Tags,flair buttons from ShopEvalicious, Wood veeners and alphabets from Studio Calico, Kaiser Craft Alphabets, My Minds Eye brads. Some of the brads and tags are AC - Dear Lizzy.
The image I used is the Saturated Canary Stamp, 'Lilliana'. These images have so much character and emotion I think I want to try to include one on every Project Life week. This way I can still color and see how my coloring changes over time. :)

I made this for this weeks challenge at Saturated Canary. We are having a color scheme. You need to use 3 of the colors in the pallette.

I hope you like my page!
 Have a great rest of the week!
