Project Life Catch-Up - Week 6 - Week 9

Hello!

After leaving my camera behind on a family trip back home, I have been playing Project Life Catch-Up (not fun).  I am all caught up to week 10, however just have to finish making a label for the title card for the last week on my Cricut and it will be set to go!  YAY!  Here are some pictures of Weeks 6, 7, 8, and 9.  They are NOT GREAT, as my camera is still back home and my iPhone was not playing nice with focusing.  However, it is what it is!  Hope you enjoy!

Week 6

I added an insert (12x12) in order to include some extra pictures from my husband's trip out west to visit family.

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!

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!

Play All Day - Papertrey Ink Blog Hop

Hello!

I am participating in the Papertrey Ink Blog Hop Challenge today!  So fun....my first challenge in ages!!!

This month, in honor of the New Year, we are challenging you to pick your favorite project from 2011 and share it with all of us. To take it a step further, you are challenged to create a second card that is inspired by the favorite project you select. Your new version of an old favorite could carry over the color scheme, the layout or the stamp sets. We look forward to seeing your best creations from 2011, as well as your first projects from 2012!

The project I selected as my favourite from 2011 is a previously unshared layout of some cute little boys in my life having fun at camp.  I had supplies left over from this layout (not shocking, as I am a self-proclaimed paper hoarder), so I was able to use almost entirely the same supplies to make my card.  The sentiment I added to the card is from Papertrey Ink's 'Birthday Bash Sentiments'.  Hope you enjoy!
