Layout - My Favourite Place

Hello!

I wanted to share a layout I completed a few days ago.  I am participating in Shimelle Laine's 'A Hitchhiker's Guide to Scrapbooking' class at Two Peas in a Bucket (so fun!).  Our first challenge was to put together a pile of supplies (starting with paper) with which to make a layout.  Take a picture of the supplies, and then take a picture of the final product!  I liked this because it took a lot of the thinking out of the actual putting together of the project.  Here is what I came up with.  Hope you enjoy!

Hello!

I have my Project Life Week 5 pages to share today!
They are super simple (sticking with my plan!!!), however I have branched out and have started using other journalling cards and such this week.  I made a trip to my LSS Stamping Bella and they had the new Elle's Studio goodies in stock...so I might have bought them ALLLLL!!!  But they are so yummy!  And they make my pages yummy!!  Haha!!  Hope you enjoy!!

Thank You Cards

Hello!

A few simple cards to share today.  My husband asked me to make him some thank you cards.  Some were to be for women, others men.  I tried to make a gender neutral card, but did NOT succeed ... haha ... so I ended up with a few of each design, one very feminine, one not so much.  Hope you enjoy!

Project Life - Week 3 & 4

I have a two week combined spread to share.  Week 3 was a touch slow, so I decided to combine them.   Love how they turned out!  I included an insert because although week 3 was slow, week 4 was jammed, and there were a few days with many items I wanted to enclose.  Hope you enjoy!

Thanks for visiting!
