Project Life Week #3

Hello friends!  I know it's been a while since I shared a Project Life spread with you but I just haven't had the time to work on it these past few weeks.  That's what I love most about this process though...I don't let it bother me if I get "behind" and I just work on it whenever I get the chance to.  I have a really cool app on my phone called Day One that helps me keep track of the journaling too so that helps. ;)

Anyway, I have a new spread to share with you today!  This week I changed it up a little bit and used less pictures so that I could include some longer journaling, a really cute quote, and also to have a couple of blank cards to play around with, which I stitched on!  Talk about fun...

Aren't they great?  Each time I finish one of these weeks, I just stare and stare at it, lol.  I guess that means I love it though and I'm really enjoying working on it, so yay me!  It was really awesome pulling out my stitching supplies because it's been WAY too long since I did some stitching on my projects and I love how it looks!  I'm planning on ordering the new Amy Tangerine kits (have you seen those???) to try out so I'm sure you'll see some of those designs soon...

MMD Sketch #31

Hello!  There's a new sketch from Miracles Momma Designs that I'd like to share with you today and it's AWESOME...

 

 

 

 

Supplies: Crate Paper Paper Heart Collection - Romance, Delicate, Petals, Delivery; Tim Holtz Distress Ink - Walnut Stain, Spun Sugar; Studio Calico Mister Huey - Classic Calico, Piglet, Pretty Pink; AC/Dear Lizzy Neapolitan Roller Date Stamp; Cocoa Daisy Stamps - Feathers; Paper Smooches Stamps - Geo-Graphic; One Little Dreamer Stamps - Happy Ending; EK Success Embossed Curved Border Punch; My Mind's Eye Lost & Found 3 Enamel Dots - Ruby; Cricut Title; A Little Pot Font

 

As soon as I saw the sketch I was totally inspired! I had these 3 Instagram pics of my hubby and I on New Year's Eve that worked perfectly for it, and all of the layers inspired me to mix in some different colors with my patterned papers. I even did some stamping in the background to add another layer which turned out great! I really love how it all came together and I seriously think I need to scrap us more because we make good looking pages, LOL! ;)

 

How do you like the sketch?  If you get creative with it, please be sure to link us up over at the MMD blog so we can all check it out!  Thanks so much for visiting me today...

Project Life Title Page

Hello friends!  I have some exciting (well to me anyway, lol) news to share today...I'm doing Project Life this year!  I was inspired by a couple of sweet friends of mine who are doing it (thanks again Suzanne & Sandi!!) to try it myself and I'm SO glad I did!  I'd like to share my title page with you today...



Supplies: Crate Paper Paper Heart 6x6 Pad; Tim Holtz Distress Ink - Walnut Stain; Studio Calico Mister Huey - Clay; Ali Edwards Stamps - This One, Sweet Baby, Days Of The Week, It's In The Details; Cocoa Daisy Stamps - A Day In The Life Sentiments & Symbols; Beary Sweet Stamps - Point & Click; AC/Dear Lizzy Neapolitan Roller Date Stamp; Fiskars Round & Round Circle Punch - Extra Large; Fiskars Twinkle Twinkle Star Punches - Large, Medium; Stampin' Up! Butterfly Punch; Martha Stewart Heart Confetti Punch; Tim Holtz Tiny Attacher; We R Memory Keepers Corner Chomper; Doodlebug Loopy Lou Alpha Stickers - Bon Bon; My Mind's Eye The Sweetest Thing Enamel Dots - Bluebell (Smile), Tangerine (Together); Washi Tape - Bella Blvd, October Afternoon, Misc; Just The Way You Are Font

 

How fun is that??  I found a really cute 8 1/2" by 11" album and got some baseball card protector page inserts to use inside of it.  They have 2 1/2" by 3 1/2" openings and it's such a fun size to work with!  There are 9 pockets on each page and since I tend to take alot of pictures, this gives me the option to use more of them if I want to each week.  I also decided to use all Instagram pics and through Snapfish I figured out a way to get them perfectly sized for this album so I'm feeling like it was meant to be. :) I'm absolutely loving this process so far and can't wait to share more with you!
