Project Life * Week 1 *

Hello and welcome to my take of project life. Here’s a peek at my cover page.
 Week one…a fun filled week!
Last year I bought Becky Higgins project life kit. In February I lost interest and there it sat. So when I decided to take a second run at it I choose to work with the old kit. I still love the papers and colors. Plus its way easier knowing everything will match. It takes all the guess work out of it.
I need to keep it as simple as possible because I know myself…if it takes too much time I won’t be able to keep up. Although I will be mixing in stuff I have on hand, along with bits and pieces of stuff I collect throughout the year, the bulk of it will be based on the kit.
Happy scrapping!



I love scrapbooking!

This week I have been catching up on my December daily album and preparing project life 2012. I’m so excited to start project life this year! Last year I started it late so I felt a little unprepared and rushed. But not this year! I can’t wait to start! This glass bowl sits on my table and is the collecting spot for all my new/products I want to use in my book. It’s super easy since I can see through it.

As for my December daily it’s in progress. This is the first year since I started doing DD that I didn’t work on a single page until after Christmas. Next year I am for sure going back to doing a page a day. It’s way easier! This December just got away from me.
Even though I kept a journal of my daily activities/what I wanted to document each day I feel like details are lost. I love looking back through previous years books to see similarities and differences.
I’m very sad Christmas is over, like very sad but it will be here again before we know it! Enjoy your last few days of December!

Oh December

So far this December has been fun, busy, and full of projects! For some reason I have had a really hard time getting started on my December Daily. Which is weird because I have been waiting for December first so I could start it since like October! Hopefully today I get inspired and start driving on! One thing I have been doing (a tip for those of you have a hard time like me) is everyday take pictures and keep a journal of which pictures you want to use for each day. That way you don’t forget what you wanted to journal about. 
 Here is a glimpse of a tree I made to hold all of the cards we receive.  
It was inspired by a photo I saw on pinterest. Using old wood and cut offs of crown molding my husband had laying around I painted each one different. Added a star and some lights and whala! A place to hang all my cards. Let the cards roll in!

Here is the tutorial of how I made the background for my ‘Choose’ canvas. I’m really loving this technique and it’s SO easy. The hardest part is waiting for things to dry! (sorry for the bad lighting)

It’s done! I am so thrilled to have it complete and I’m happy with how it turned out. Here’s some sneak peaks of it:


Poncho’s trying to figure out what is taking my attention away from him 🙂

It’s been rainy and cloudy here today so it’s making it hard to take good pics. Hopefully tomorrow will be sunny so I can get some fab pics 🙂

One more day

Just one more day until December! I’m super excited to get started on my December daily album. I remember last year loving it. The process that worked best for me was everyday writing down what I had done that day and what stories I wanted to share. After that I printed out my pictures. If had time that night I added them to the book otherwise I had everything ready so I could add them easily the next day.

Dum, dum, dum….here it is. Finally got it put together! There are a few things I need to finish up, but I still love it. (to see the pictures bigger just click on them)




















It’s about 8 1/2 X 11 and I used my bind-it-all to bind it. This size worked well for me. It allowed me to add many pictures to the pages if I needed to. There are a few things I will do different next time. When I oringinally put this together I added all the numbers to the pages ahead of time. Next time I will wait until I’m making it to do that. There we days I alotted a lot of space for but didn’t need it and then other days the opposite. Next Christmas I will for sure do it again!
