Easy Family Scrapbook Ideas: Print Those Pictures!

Easy Family Scrapbook Ideas: Print Those Pictures!

By Marty Walden · 2 Comments

I was away scrapbooking this weekend, trying to catch up on my Project Life album. These weekends usually consist of a little blogging, some extra sleep, a few delicious meals and some easy family scrapbook ideas.

Project Life Ideas for the Busy Woman

Too tired and too busy to record your family memories? Think the best you can do is a bunch of cellphone pictures that never make it into an album? I hear ‘ya. I really do. I’ve been a scrapbooker for 17 years. When I first began I cropped my pictures with patterned scissors and gave people square heads instead of… Read More

Craft Room Makeover and Organization Ideas

By Marty Walden · 76 Comments

I would love to say that I am a bold, confident woman, but the truth is I’m just a work in progress. Probably a little bit like you if you’re honest. I want to be complete. Whole. No blemishes or scars. Dare I even hope, acceptable and perfect? Funny how my decorating seems to mirror my life. Incomplete. Unfinished. Blemishes… Read More

Craft Room Inspiration

By Marty Walden · 20 Comments

  Want to see how close I got to my inspiration? Here’s the reveal of my new craft room! At  the beginning of the new year, when I decided my word for 2014 was simplify, I went on a cleaning/organization spree in my craft room.  I wasn’t happy with the way the room was functioning. Since I have started blogging… Read More

Are you as hooked into social media as I am? (Hint. Hint. You can follow me on facebook, pinterest and instagram.)

Catching up on Project Life

By Marty Walden · 2 Comments

You might be asking, what happened to Project Life?  Well, you’re probably not but I’ll tell you anyway! I have been failing miserably at keeping current with my pages. In the past I have gotten behind a week or two because I normally print my pictures every 3-4 weeks. With all the blogging I’m doing I am not staying current…. Read More

Project Life Layout for October 2012

Project Life Layout for October 2012

By Marty Walden · 3 Comments

  Today’s Project Life layout was fun to put together with less photos and more memorabilia and journaling. Both pages share some “out of my comfort zone” moments. The left side layout has a couple of pics from my adventure singing from West Side Story again. What fun to sing with “my” Tony from 28 years earlier. I also included… Read More
