Project Life Weeks 10 and 11

Hi there!

It has been a while since I've shared a Project Life post. I am currently working on Week 14 (last week) but I think the last time I shared was week 5 or 6. I thought I'd just pick some of the recent weeks to show you and try and do a better job of getting back on track. Seems like I'm doing a lot of that recently.

So here is Week 10.


Dinner out with my family, a hockey game with my hubs.


An ice cream cone for a lousy day, some weekend activities.


I cut a slit in the top of the page protector to make room for the ticket stub from the hockey game. Also finally got my Silhouette Cameo working, so some of the elements I used this week were from that - like the Wednesday journal card and the 'Memories' 4 x 6 card on the second page.


I used lots of elements from Elle's Studio on these pages. Here I've used the Daily Tidbits, the Date Tidbits, and the Lil' Snippets: This Week. I love their stuff!

Here is Week 11.


Right around this time I decided it was no longer convenient for me to print my pictures at a retail store, I actually felt like it was keeping me behind a bit. So I purchased an Epson PictureMate Charm photo printer and have loved having it. I also started adding some digital elements to my photos with help and inspiration from Ali Edwards.


Page two usually ends up being the weekend's activities. Dinner with friends and a trip to a local nature preserve.


Here is some of my digital journaling, overlaid right onto the photo. Love doing this.


More products from Elle's Studio. Here are the Collected Large Journaling Tags and the Collected Tiny Tags. Love the coordination!

Thanks for stopping in, I hope you like seeing my Project Life as much as I enjoy doing it - really has been so fun!

Oh! Just one little thing before I go.

One of my cards was chosen as an Honorable Mention for the Paper Crafts Stamping Royalty contest! Seriously. I am pretty excited about that. And on top of that, PC readers get to choose their favorite. So if you are so inclined, I would love for you to head over to the Paper Crafts Connection blog to check out the contest. Vote for your favorite - if it happens to be my card, that's great - but the other ladies have created AMAZING cards that you should see!

Have a lovely evening, friends!

Thank You Friend

Good morning, all!

I have a few housekeeping things to get to before I share today's card.

First off, thank you all for the overwhelming support during Embellish Magazine's first blog hop! It was very successful, and I am pleased to announce that one of the winners was chosen from the comments on my blog!

Congratulations, Jackie! You have won an assortment of May Arts Twine. Head over to the Embellish Magazine Blog to claim your prize. Thank you all for participating - I hope you've checked out Embellish Magazine's premiere issue!

Moving on.. thanks also to all of you that stopped by yesterday for the WMS Design Team Blog Waltz - I hope you were inspired by some of the earlier WMS releases! And in case you haven't heard, WMS is teaming up as a product partner with Spellbinders! So not only will you be seeing more nestie-friendly stamp sets coming out, you will also be able to purchase the coordinating dies right in the WMS store! How is that for convenience, huh?

And finally, a little happy news of my own. My card was chosen as one of the winners in the Paper Crafts Magazine Phone Book Challenge! That put a smile on my face. My fellow DT member Belinda's card was also chosen! Congrats, Belinda!

OK! I know you're at the edge of your seats now ;) Here is my card for today, made for a very dear, wonderful friend.

I used elements from the Asian Gardens set to create this card. The large flowers were inked first with Pixie Dust VersaMagic and then Cardinal VersaColor just around the edges to get that graduated color look. Pigment or chalk ink is great to use for this technique.

I hope you have a great day - thanks for sticking with me. I am so thankful for all of you!
