DIY projects, thrifty home decor and easy crafts
I’m not going to join in on any bandwagon with the Chick-fil-A controversy, but I will say that one of our favorite activities of the summer is Cow Day, where this company gives away free meals to anyone dressed as a cow. I love it #1, because it’s free food and #2, I have an excuse to take silly pictures… Read More
This is one of my favorite layouts for 2012 so far. My niece actually took the pictures (with my camera), and they are of her children and my youngest two at a local splash pad. This is my fourth year doing Project Life, and I’m just now starting to branch out a wee bit in creativity. I have not been… Read More
This is my last Project Life June layout. I don’t worry about being caught up so much anymore. (And actually I’m pretty caught up. I’m just blogging a month behind.) Since I’m doing more of a weekly/theme layout I am tending to do layouts a month at a time. I may spend some time pulling together journaling, and of… Read More
I love the ease of Project Life, my yearly memory keeper for our scrapbooks. I’m also enjoying grouping more of my photos into themes or events. This week’s layout is from June and shows a random collection of photos from the month. Usually these photos are ones that didn’t make it into a weekly layout. The left layout shows a… Read More
First I have to say these are terrible pics of my Project Life pages from June! I shot them at night and couldn’t get the light right. The original pics look much better! With that said, I haven’t worked on any pages since last month. I did a whole month’s layouts in one evening. I love how they come together… Read More
For this week’s Project Life layout I thought I’d add a couple of layouts from years past. 2009 was the first year Becky Higgins produced a Project Life Kit. I dilly dallied so by the time I was ready to order they were sold out. Not to be daunted, I bought sheet protectors at the craft store and made by… Read More
For those of you who may wonder why I share my scrapbook pages each week, go read my Project Life philosophy and how I’m incorporating it into my albums this year. I was burned out earlier in the year with the picture a day idea since I’ve done that for three years now. Changing it up by focusing more on themes or… Read More
This week’s Project Life layout is still from the month of May and is from the week we went on vacation. This vacation was a gift from my friend Barb and her family. The left side of the layout features memorabilia from Kitty Hawk, NC and a list I made for 52 Lists in 52 Weeks. Since I’m doing my… Read More
This week’s Project Life pages are from May and are a wide variety of pictures from the month. Again this week I included one of my 52 Lists in 52 Weeks as journaling. I have only used a fraction of my lists on my Project Life pages, but I love that I’ve made these lists. They are a fun reflection of… Read More
