Project Life continues...

Hello... before I share my layouts I just wanted to let you all know that April 23 Embellish Me Happy opens and I will be hosting my April Project Life Challenge!  I want to invite you all to check it out, so mark your calendars.

I'm so behind with sharing my pages, so this is picture heavy.  Here are Weeks 7 to 13...

Week 7: I received my first Studio Calico PL kit in February, so alot of the pieces are from that kit.

I included my Valentine's Day card and some pictures on the back that I never got to insert in Week 7.

Weeks 8 & 9: this was the two weeks that I was very busy with the whole moving process.  This was the best I could do and for me it's better then having nothing for those two weeks.

BTW I got that airmail washi tape at AC Moore, it's so cool.

this is the back of Weeks 8 & 9, I love this picture so I just had to include it.

Week 10: I love typing text onto my photos and including digital elements to my layouts.

Week 11: the "We Have Laundry" picture has a very funny story to it.  My first week getting my laundry done the people lost all our clothes :(  It was horrible, but we were refunded the money and bought some new stuff.  Getting the laundry back the next week was awesome LOL

Weeks 12 & 13: not many pictures these two weeks and I somehow lost my mojo with PL.

Week 14 will be my challenge layout, so keep an eye out next week!!!  Thanks for looking :)

Home Project: Yarn Wreath

I moved to a new apartment in March.  So far we've been enjoying our new place and it's been a lot of fun decorating and getting organized.

Since I moved I've been planning different projects and I knew for sure that I wanted to make a wreath for my front door.  I started looking online for inspiration and found this awesome website.  The valentine yarn wreath really caught my eye, I especially loved the two tone yarn.

I decided to do mine in green since it's my favorite color.  I cheated and bought all the flowers and the doily I found in the dollar bins at Michaels.  I  love the way it turned out, even though my son asked why there was a tube on the front door and the fact that my boyfriend stuck his head thru the middle of it...but they're guys, what do they know LOL

Enjoy the weekend!

Project Life Update!

I'm back with a catch up of my Project Life pages and some little tips along the way.  FYI: I do one week on one side of each page protector, two pages a week is way too much for me to do LOL

Week 1 - Tip: find cute items that you get at stores or restuarants and use them in your PL album!  I got this cute postcard from Bath & Body Works and used it as my Week One card :)

Week 2 - Tip: use a little pocket on your page to hold extra pictures!  I used one to hold extra pictures I took at Ripley's Believe It or Not Museum.

Week 3 - Tip: even if you're not a "digital" scrapper, you can add images on top of your photos for added interest.  I added the Fox News Flash to the picture of Michael doing dishes.

Week 4 - this 12x12 We R Memory Keepers page protector holds 9 4x4 pictures - perfect for those Instagram pictures!

Week 5 - Tip: don't beat yourself up if you're page doesn't turn out like you wanted it to.  I really hate this page but didn't have time to go back and make it look better.  I just moved on.

Week 6 - Tip: experiment with different types of page protectors. 

Are you doing PL?  How's it going so far for you?
Thanks for looking!  I'll be back soon with more of my pages :)
