Project Life 2015-week 1

Every year, we visit my family for New Year's.  This week is us just hanging out and the small things that completes the week.

Used papers from Maggie Holmes mini kit, holiday mini kit, and Citrus Twist sub kit for this week. 

For 2015, I am doing weekly layouts again.  Some weeks will have only one page.  And that is alright with me.  I'm not going to stress about not having enough pictures for that week. Like this week, didn't take too many pictures, so I created filler cards.

The bottom left pocket is a picture from an app.  My hubby does not look like that at all!  It was funny and had to put it in the album.

Project Life 2015

I can not stay away from Project Life.  It has changed my way of scrapbooking and I love it.  I probably have taken on too much, but I can't help myself.  Not only am I doing PL 2015, but also catching up on 2014  and creating some albums for my family.  I promised myself I would not get discouraged if I don't get them done; will take my time and just enjoy the whole process.  With that being said, here's the first page of my Project Life 2015 album...

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}
