Hello everyone! I haven’t been that great about keeping up with my blog this month but I have actually been creatively busy, so I’m going to blame it on not having internet, STILL!!! I have been working on a couple of things and I can’t wait to share very soon! (Seriously cannot wait!) (Extremely excited!)

Today I am sharing two new Project Life layouts from our Vegas trip. We had such a blast on this trip and I’m happy I finally was able to document it!

For my first layout, I used Becky Higgins Design H and 6×12 pocket pages. I also used a couple of inserts from the Fine & Dandy Digital Edition. You guys know I always include black & white inserts to my layouts but I wanted to stay away from that because these pictures are so bright and colorful. It’s always good to change it up, right?

I have been using the picture of New York, New York for a lot of examples on how I like to edit my photos and it was nice to finally put it in my album. I used Christine Herrin’s Ready Jet Set Digital Stamps for an extra touch on that photo. You can see a before and after of that picture here.

I used the same pocket pages for my second layout. I added a stamp from Kellie Stamps and journaling on a white tag. For the inserts, I used a couple of 3×4 filler cards from Stampin Up Moments Like These Digital Edition and Project 52 2016 Digital Edition (had to throw some black & white in there!) To get the poker chips on the inserts, I used Scotch Permanent Mounting Squares.

I hope you guys enjoyed this quick post, I promise not to take too long for the next one!

Hey guys! As of right now I’m still working on Project Life layouts from APRIL! We’re already in August and I’m not done documenting April. Either time is flying by too fast or I’m lazy as hell. It could also be that I took too many awesome pics that month (Vegas!). Check out a couple of more April layouts below, and no these are not the last ones for that month!

For this layout I used Design I and Design H pocket pages from Becky Higgins. I also used the Everyday Edition Core Kit. For the 4×4 pockets I just grabbed some of my favorite 4×6 inserts from the kit and trimmed them down.

On this layout I used only Design H pocket pages and I used inserts from the Wander Edition Digital Kit and Everyday Edition Paper Pad.

I ordered a stamp set from Christine Herrin a while back and this card was included in the package and I’m so glad I kept it because it was perfect for this layout. Yay freebies!
I’m seriously trying to catch up because I have other projects I’m working on and I can’t wait to share those with you! Soon!

Project Life: April ’16

Happy Fourth of July! I have been MIA this past month but by now you guys know my situation. I’m trying to look at the bright side though, instead of always being on my computer in the other room surfing the net, now I’m spending more time with my family – on my phone surfing the net. It’s all on how we look at things!

I should be posting my June Top 5 but because my last post was my May Top 5, I figured I should post some Project Life first.

For my first layout, I used the Becky Higgin’s Project 52 2016 Calendars Digital Kit again for my monthly cover and I also used the Project 52 2016 Digital Kit. I used my fuse tool for both pages, on the left page I fused the bottom of a Design H page (made a 4×6 into two 3×4). I also took a 6×12, the right page, and fused it into thirds to fit three 4×6 photos. This isn’t a very happy layout because it covers the ducks leaving and my childhood home going up on the market. Sad stuff, but it’s something important to me and as hard as the beginning of April was, that’s something I will want to remember.

On my second layout I decided to use the Wander Kit. I’ve used this kit before but I just love Christine Herrin’s style and I thought it went perfect with these pictures as well. The pictures on this layout are from the Stanton Old Sorehead Trade Days, something us West Texans look forward to three times a year. It’s a big craft/trade show with awesome food and the best freaking beef fajita burritos. Ever. Period. The end. In all the land.

I can’t wait to blog about the rest of April because I will be documenting about moving and going to Vegas! I’m just hoping we will be bestowed the privilege of high-speed internet very, very soon. Fingers crossed… and at this point my legs, arms, and eyes are crossed as well.

Project Life: March’16

Hello everyone! Today I am sharing my first two layouts for March. I was planning on sharing them sooner but you guys know my situation, no internet and no craft area equals a sucky situation. Anyway, the reason I bring that up is because when I made these layouts, we still had the ducks and I was able to take this awesome photo of Shadow (before he tried to bite me). So cute (ducks can do no wrong in my eyes)!

Here is a before and after of the picture:

For the first layout I used Becky Higgins Pocket Pages Design H and 6×12. I’m still using the Project 52 2016 Calendars for my monthly cover, and I used cards from the This and That Digital Value Kit. I LOVE this kit!!!

On the second layout I used the same Pocket Pages, but I used my fuse tool to make the bottom 4×6 into two 4x3s. For this layout I used the Everyday Edition Core Kit as backgrounds for my Instax pictures. I had my two 6×12 pictures printed at Persnickety Prints.

That is it for now. I hope you guys enjoyed today’s post and I hope to be back with some more layouts soon!

Project Life: February’16 (Part Two)

Hi there! I hope you guys had a nice Easter weekend!

Today I am sharing my last two Project Life layouts for the month of February. I was really excited to hear Christine Herrin had designed a kit for Becky Higgins, I love all her designs. The “Wander” core kit was perfect for documenting AJ’s first solo marathon.

I’m trying to embrace my handwriting… Still not loving it, doesn’t look as good as other people’s handwriting (ahem, Kelly Purkey) but it’s unique in it’s own way…

For my next layout, I went with the Becky Higgin’s “Currently” core kit. This kit was designed by Peppermint Granberg, another favorite designer of mine. I love the colors and patterns on this kit.

This layout shows the progress on our new house and AJ’s first driving lesson. The ampersand flair button I used for this is from Scrapbook and More, designed by Janna Werner.
