2015 Album Title page

Friday, January 30, 2015


So even though I'm not totally sure what I'm doing with Project Life this year, I went ahead and made my title page. I used some supplies from Studio Calico and from Heidi Swapp.


I'm thinking about doing "monthly" this year. Although I love looking through my weekly(ish) albums from 2013 and 2014, I'm ready for a change. I'm ready to make more 12x12s and I'm considering combining them with pocket pages in this 2015 album. But I'm also intrigued with the fun 9x12 Project Life pages.



I had just enough of my most favorite Thickers to write out the year :)


I had to add this overlay as soon as i pulled it out of my Studio Calico PL kit.


What's your plan for scrapbooking this year?

Woodland Baby Card

Wednesday, January 28, 2015


One of my best friends had a baby a couple of weeks ago. His name is Cedar Jackson - cute, huh? His nursery theme is "woodland" and is painted a soft gray. They used teepees, feathers, and great quotes to decorate the room. I made a card and tried to stay in that theme. Here's what I came up with!


I used paper from Studio Calico and Basic Grey. I was so glad I had the right letters to spell out his name - those Thickers are some of my faves!

Thoughts on the Project Life App

Monday, January 26, 2015


Have you played with the Project Life app yet? I downloaded it as soon as it was available, but I haven't made any pages yet. I love paper too much to go digital! Recently, the Project 52 core kit came out and I loved the colors. I definitely don't need another physical core kit so I waited until it came out on the app. I really liked paying $1.99 for the kit!!

I'm trying to develop some healthier habits this year and decided to document my progress through the Project Life app. I don't know what I'll do with the pages when I'm done. I think I would be more likely to make a bound photo book out of them versus printing each page out. Some people are printing each page and adding embellishments though.


I can't believe how quick it is to make a page. Seriously. You can zoom out and change cards easily. It's easy to switch around your cards - after you fill up all the "pockets", you can hold your finger down on one of them and drag it over to another spot to switch those cards/pictures.


You can change your font, the size, the color, the alignment, etc. So simple! I haven't tried it yet - but you can also export your finished pages and open them in other photo apps. The Rhonna Designs app has some amazing quotes that I want to try adding to patterned filler cards.


And best of all, you don't have to worry about working with the back of an existing pocket page. I've gotten used to that over the last 2 year of doing physical Project Life, but a lot of newbies have a hard time getting past those limitations. 


Are you a digital or physical Project Lifer?

Living Locket

Friday, January 23, 2015


So I've been wanting one of those Living Lockets from Origami Owl for quite some time. I've looked at them in person and online, but never have taken the plunge to buy it. I had mentioned it to my mom a long time ago, but hadn't brought it up in months... so I was very surprised on Christmas morning!


They chose 7 charms for me - a diamond (my birthstone), an engagement ring and 'Love' for me and Joe, an owl, a gnome, a doggie bone (for Harley), and a pink iPhone. Perfect! I plan on picking up other charms and changing them up sometimes. They couldn't find anything to represent scrapbooking, but I'll keep an eye out!


Do you have one of these lockets? What charms would you want to include?

Yoga layout

Wednesday, January 21, 2015


I recently joined the Simple Scrapper community and I'm loving it! I'm amazed at the wealth of information in this membership - a monthly magazine, an active Facebook group, monthly Story Starters (ideas for pages), monthly Sketches and examples, chances to win a free month of membership, and more! I used a Story Starter and a Member Sketch from January to create this layout about signing up for yoga teacher training.


These doilies are from a recent Freckled Fawn embellishment kit. I used transparencies from the Grand Bazaar diecut pack on top of them.


More detail. I was able to use a few items from Ali Edwards "First" Story Kit. Can't wait to use more!


I put a transparency over top of a gold accented wood veneer leaf. I LOVE how it turned out!


I've also become an affiliate for Simple Scrapper. I joined in late November and actually won the December month Member Incentive Challenge! How cool is that? I'm also able to access information from past years. There's like 400 Story Starters!! Coming up with "what" to scrapbook is often my stumbling block. If you want to find out more, check out this page or send me a message!

Project Life 2014 - Done!

Monday, January 19, 2015


I wrapped up Project Life 2014 and made my title and end pages. I ended up with 35 two page spreads and 5 inserts for 2014. I found some of the Coral kit front and back page cards. I also used some of those Coral cards I spruced up last year. Would you believe I put them in a storage container and forgot to use them? Ha!


I was very glad to finally glue down those "2014" wood veneers. I have literally been moving them around my workspace for a year. Ridiculous.


Are you doing Project Life in 2015? I haven't decided how/what I'm doing yet. I need something to spice it up a little. Give me some suggestions!

Little Golden Deer

Friday, January 16, 2015


So I was walking through Hobby Lobby recently and saw a little paper maché deer. This was a total impulse buy... but it was half price, so I only paid $5! I've been wanting to put one of these deer heads in Joe's office, but never got around to getting one. I love how this turned out!


I forgot to take a good picture before I started painting. Oops! I used acrylic craft paint. I already had the gold so I just picked up some navy paint.


I'm going to hang it above the door in Joe's office. He likes it!
