How Did I End Up Here?

Photo a day

For April. Still going!

Happy Tuesday!

Project Life Simple Stories Style!

I love using Simple Stories for my PL! The cards are perfectly sized, and add so much color and fun with minimal effort. That's my style.

Finished last week's PL Saturday on NSD, plus 7 layouts. SCORE. Yesterday I was creatively tapped, and didn't even find time to photograph said layouts. You win some, you lose some. Happy Monday!

One. Sick. Week.

First, Jenna is sick all weekend, and comes home from school Monday still struggling with her cold. Then Tuesday night my throat starts hurting, and by Wednesday it was ON FIRE. UGH. I'm not a fan. Staying home today to get some rest. Maybe in between tissues I can create something. Wish me luck. Sharing the last project life week. I am almost through half a year. Need to buy a new album, as this one is almost full! It was a simple layout . . . it's all I've got right now. Staying caught up is much more important than creating a masterpiece. Still.

Happy Friday!

Project Life - Week 22

Still going strong! I should have done more with this week, but I didn't have a ton of time so I went with a fast week. I'd rather just get it done some weeks. I still have my scrapbooking when I want to be meticulous.

Hopefully tonight I get a chance to do last week. I'm almost halfway through a year! On a related note, I've kept up with Photo a Day since the beginning of the year. Kind of cool, no?

Have a great Friday!

Project Life Week 20 and 21

It's hard to believe I have been doing this for 21 weeks!!! Wow, time flies.

Week 21 was all about Simple Stories! I used the "Fabulous" collection, and I tell you I've never completed a week faster. And if you know me, you know I am all about fast. It's the only way this project will ever work for me. I so admire the work of others with their very detailed, super-embellished weeks. But I'm not that girl.

When my friend Elaine came over and looked at this week, she touched every pocket wondering If I had made each card. Nope! Just cut them out and job over!

Week 21 was Cobalt week, with a lot of Washi tape. I seem to have developed a Washi addiction appreciation, so I used it a lot this week.

Started working on week 22 last night. Enjoy your Thursday!

Project Life Week 18 and 19

Major catch up time, not with completing PL, but with sharing it.

Week 18 my focus was on using Smash products. I bought a few of the books and really wanted to use them.

While I like the look of the cards, and felt they needed minimal embellishment (yeah!) the width bothers me a bit. Live and learn!

And week 19 was all about Clementine and a bit of Sass thrown in.

Because Jenna wears that same Columbia jacket every day the pics all look the same. But that's us!

OK, tomorrow I will post the next two weeks. Enjoy your Wednesday!

Project Life - Week 17

Still going! But this week I fell a bit behind, so did not spend a lot of time adding a lot of detail. I don't like going into the next week behind, so I just got 'er done. It's OK. Some weeks will be like that. And if I stress about being behind I think I'll enjoy the process less. KWIM?

Included some of Jenna's school work, and a ticket from a raffle. Again, nothing special, but a week documented I wouldn't have otherwise.

Enjoy your Monday. Is that oxymoronic?

Snow Day Celebration!

OK, I have to admit I may have to apologize to February. You see, my hatred has run deep for a lot of years. But this February has been surprisingly beautiful, and has included my favorite thing in the whole world, A SNOW DAY! I needed this day to catch up, as my weekend is pretty full. Life is good, friends.

Speaking of life, here is my PL from two weeks ago. I finished last week and will post next week. Today? It's all about creating. And laundry.

I busted out my Silhouette for this week. And more for the following week. I am feeling better about the purchase. I HATE buying things and not using them. HATE IT.

Check out my girl with the magnifying glass. What a goon! Oh, and sorry for the glare.

Enjoy yourself today. And February? I forgive you.

Another week down . . .

and another week documented. I sat down to print pics from last week and will work on this week's spread a bit each night. It's a manageable task for the weeknights when I'm not as creative.

Happy Valentine's Day! And no, it doesn't make me like February. Not even the chocolate.

Project Life Week 13

Here's two weeks ago! Didn't take many pics that week, so this is what I came up with. Again, mostly PL kit stuff. Brought out some old Sassafras goodness, which was fun!
