Project Life Week 42

Here is week 42:

Left side: flowers, Cracker Barrel, repotting my succulents, and a beautiful sky.

I stamped these leaves and sentiment (from the Chic Tags November embellishment kit) onto a Jade card. 

Right side: a night out with a friend, a bonfire with Joe's family, a massage, a visit with Dad and Harley, and my autumn wreath.

More of those leaf stamps, this time on a Chic Tags November kit Project Life card.

These wood veneers are so cute.

This wood veneer frame turned out nice:

I love this picture of Harley. She's so cute!

I finished doing Week 43 tonight, and I've got a couple more weeks to do and I will be caught up on PL. I like it better when I'm caught up. How about you?

I've linked up at The Mom Creative's Project Life Tuesday - go check it out and get more PL inspiration!

December 30 Days of Lists

So guess what? There's going to be a special December edition of 30 Days of Lists. Registration is now open!! It's a great way to capture what's going on in your life RIGHT NOW.  The prompts won't necessarily be holiday related, but you can interpret them however you like. (I'm leaning towards making them all holiday lists).

It just takes 5 or 10 minutes a day. No matter how busy you are, take the time for yourself. How fun will it be to look back on these lists in a few years?

I'm going to be making my lists on 3x4 cards. I may end up adding them to a December Daily. If I don't, I could put a binder ring on the cards and make a mini album. Or I could add them to my current Project Life as inserts each week. However you do it is fine - there's no wrong or right way to do 30 Days of Lists.

Want to join in on the fun?

December Daily Cards

I made these cards for the Project Life Card Swap - the theme was December Daily! I love the "This is Magic" stamp that was included in my Oh Deer Me October kit. It was the perfect sentiment for a fun holiday card.

I considered using a doily on the card, but I ended up using my Cameo to cut a snowflake for the card. I love the red star washi tape.

I had two colors of foam stickers, so I made half the cards with the light green and half with the dark green.

Have you started your December Daily yet?

Hello Autumn Wreath

I made this fall wreath using Basic Grey's Persimmon collection. I used every sheet in the collection - I love them all!

I started by arranging rolls of paper in a circle and hot gluing them. I used shorter rolls to make a second layer on top. And then I realized I hadn't kept a sheet of paper to make something to cover up the gaping hole in the middle. (Yikes!!)

Luckily there were some coordinating shapes available in the Silhouette Cameo store. I got this cute pumpkin and "Welcome Autumn" sentiment. I just printed the sentiment onto scrapbook paper from another line - I think it matches well enough! Then I cut the pumpkin shape and put it over the middle of the wreath. I added a couple of star and arrow stickers from the Persimmon collection and considered it done!

Here you can see the dimension:

Project Life Week 41

This week I got a mani, we ate at Waffle House, I had a (yucky) work meeting, and we saw a double rainbow. We went to Atlanta for the weekend and had fun at the Georgia Aquarium, the World of Coca-Cola, and Six Flags. I also got to go to Archiver's on the way back home. Great weekend!

Left side: more Amy Tan Cut and Paste and some hidden journaling. I mostly let the pictures do the talking this week - not a ton of visible journaling.

Right side: mani, bumper cars, tickets, and some of the products we tasted at the World of Coca-Cola.

I added some Simple Stories "I love summer" stickers to this card. This ride is called the Sky Screamer. I mostly kept my eyes closed on this one!

I'm linked up at The Mom Creative's Project Life Tuesday this week. It's a great source of inspiration!

Christmas Card Ideas

When I heard about this great card drive, I told Mom about it. Cards are being collected and will be distributed to elderly patients in nursing homes. Mom and I got together this past Saturday and made 11 cards to send. Most of these cards are pretty simple and didn't take long for us to put together. We stamped various sentiments inside each card. We came up with some of the cards on our own, and used our Pinterest boards for inspiration as well. Check them out here and here.

On to the cards!

I think this one ended up looking sort of vintage. It's one of my favorites:

This Christmas card is bright and fun!

This one is so pretty:

Mom added some glittery paint to a few of the berries to give this card some extra pizazz.

I made this one quickly with a die cut and 4 triangles for the corners. I used a large square paper punch and trimmed the squares in half to make these photo corners.

I love the dimension on this one. I used stamps, buttons, circle bunches, a die cut, and snowflake stickers.

I love how these candles turned out. Mom cut the flames for me.

Don't these ornaments look like they're hanging off the branches? Too cute!

Mom made this beautiful religious card.

I made this one more masculine, since there will be men receiving the cards too.

I love the black and white on this card Mom came up with!

 

If you would like to participate in this card drive, there's still plenty of time. Cards are due November 28. Please consider sending one (or more!) in. These cards are sure to brighten someone's day.

My Everyday Life Project Life cards

The other swap I participated in during October was titled "My Everyday Life". I decided to make a card that could be used to document the dinners you had during the week. I started with gray and pink list cards card from the Project Life Blush kit:

Added some adorable Lawn Fawn stamps:

And spelled out "dinner" with some cool Amy Tangerine alphas.

Quick and simple!
