Project Life....Newbie

Hi everyone...Happy November 1st!  

I have a new obsession...it's PROJECT LIFE!  I know it's been out there for a while, but I've been reluctant to start another crafting project since I have a hard time finishing my projects. There are so many unfinished projects just collecting dust on my shelf.  And right now is not the time to start a new one.  It's terrible and a bad habit of mine.  But of course, I can't help myself.  So now, I'm a Project Lifer!
I'm starting from my birthday month(September); when I've caught up, I'll work on previous months with just highlights.  I am super excited and can't wait to share what I've done so far.  I'll share my cover page with you now....

The cover page was done using the Honey core kit.  It's the very first core kit I purchased along with the coordinating album. I love how quick the pages come together...I can embellish as little as I want or just "glam" it up.

Happy Halloween...Witch Hazel

Hi everyone!  I've been away from my craft room for some time, but happy to say that I am back to start crafting again. 

I just wanted to wish everyone a Happy Halloween and share my card using this week's sketch from The Paper Players. 

This card is not a standard card size because I wanted to make sure the postcard fit.  It measures 5 1/2 x 6...an odd size I know.  Didn't want the card to be completely flat, so the banner is curled at the ends and the tag adhered with foam tape.   I added the Halloween washi tape I purchased at Michael's.

Supplies~
pp: Witch Hazel {October Afternoon}
tools: fishtail dies{MFT}
others: enamel dots{MME}; embellishments from Witch Hazel collection{October Afternoon}; Halloween washi tape{from Michael's}

DT: Stamptacular Sunday~

We have another great challenge for you to try at Stamptacular Sunday...."DOILIES galore"!  So use any type of doily you have and create a project or card.

For my card, I used a heart doily die as the base card.  I cut a second doily and used the center as a layer.  The papers were edged with walnut stain distress ink.  For the banner, I scored each side and adhered with foam tape for dimension.

Supplies~
paper: Serendipity{Basic Grey}
stamp: You and I{Verve}
tools: nesting doily hearts, heart doily{Lifestyle Crafts}; I Heart You die{Verve}

DT: Unscripted Sketches~ Hello Kitty

Hi Everyone!  This is the last sketch for 2012 at Unscripted Sketches.  Thank you for participating and sharing your talent with us!  We look forward to having you join us again in the new year.

I used the Hello Kitty paper pad and matching embellishments.  Some of the corners were rounded with my corner chomper.  The chipboard embellishments were adhered with 3D glue dots.  This is my first project using my Hello Kitty stash.  I was able to snag some Hello Kitty goodies at Michael's.  I remember going to the mall and would always stop by the Sanrio store...I still stop by now and then to look at all the pretty merchandise!

Supplies~
