December Project Life

Ok! Last seasonally inappropriate Project Life spread! Woot woot! This wraps up 2015 and I think I'm going to continue this monthly format with occasional 12x12 layouts. It's worked pretty well for me.

First pages of December:  I mostly used the Cottage Project Life kit for this layout.

Left side: Lego's, essential oils, the decal I made for Joe's truck, chicken casserole

Right side: our fancy new movie theater, a selfie, piano, a trip to Biltmore, Speedway in Lights. 

I found a 12x12 cut apart sheet in my Christmas stash and used it to document several Christmas and Christmas Eve related activities (addressing cards, Honey Bear on Christmas Day, our tree, my new car stereo, and some of our wrapping paper). 

And here's how it looks beside of my Christmas Day 12x12 layout.

Holly Jolly Christmas

Joe and I went over to my parents house on Christmas Day. My brother was in town and we all had dinner together. Mom surprised us by making some photo booth props for a family picture. I used a sketch and came up with this - a busy (but fun!) layout.

I cut this title out on my Cameo. The background paper is from Heidi Swapp and most of the smaller papers are from MAMBI.

I love this little bow, snowflake, and flair cluster.

I've been hoarding this stitched present shaker for a while...

This is a Heidi Swapp banner. I added the star, snowflake, and tree.

Ok - just have my December Project Life left to share!

November Project Life

November's page start out with the New Truck layout and an insert. I trimmed down a larger 12x12 page protector to make this insert.

Insert: Thanksgiving, a card for a friend, and the finale of our bathroom facelift! We got the room painted and I hung up my new shower curtain.

Back of insert and right side of layout: I used the Cottage Project Life kit from Becky Higgins.

Back of insert: a quick overnight trip to Dollywood and Gatlinburg. We took a pic in a giant snow globe, saw the Christmas lights, and had some awesome meals at Loco Burro and Crockett's Breakfast Camp.

Right side: our trip to the All Things Silhouette Conference in Peachtree City, Georgia. This event needed its own page for sure!

Valentine Card

I made hubby a Valentine card. I saw the "Lucky in Love" sticker and thought it was perfect since we're going to Las Vegas to celebrate our 5th anniversary!

I mixed some Crate Paper and another Valentine collection from my stash. 

I had to include a little bit of sparkle 💜

Hope you had a great Valentine's Day!

New Truck layout

Hubby got his first new truck! That's definitely a 12x12 worthy event! After extensive research, he got a 2016 Ram 2500. It's perfect for his tree business and for our camping trips. This truck has so much more power than the old one - can't wait to see how it tows the camper!

I used Simple Stories Pumpkin Spice, some Ali Edwards journaling cards and embellishments, and wood veneer on this layout. The tag that was attached to his keys didn't exactly match... so I tucked it in a little bag behind some paper. 

The "first" is from an Ali Edwards Story Kit last year. 

Had to include the date, so I used an October Afternoon die cut arrow and a roller stamp.

Any tips for making masculine scrapbook pages? I think this one turned out ok, but it's kind of hard to do!

October Project Life

I was able to do October's Project Life pages with 1 12x12 and a slightly smaller insert.

Left side: a pic of our neighborhood (Joe took it with his drone and you can see it better here), cleaning out my closet, FaceTime with my Mom, a day trip to Dollywood, and a special yoga class.

Insert: a long weekend in Atlanta (best hotel view ever here), a deluxe movie theatre, and Six Flags.

I can't get enough of that neighborhood pic:

How cute is this card?? I received it in a Project Life card swap a year or two ago... I've been saving it for the perfect fall page. I believe the girl made it out of washi tape, then put it through her embosser. Love!

Back of the insert: our camping trip to Roan Mountain and celebrating Halloween with my coworkers.

And here's how the insert looks with the Hello Autumn layout.

Fall sure is the best (and most beautiful!) time of year.
