Project Life - In Progress

 Mid way through the year, and my first Project Life post for 2014.  I've enjoyed playing around with some new supplies, and using up old supplies too.

For this week I printed out my photographs smaller than I wanted, so I cropped a couple of them smaller and created an arty card for them.  I've already dated all my "week #" cards so I had to go with a yellow theme. 

My pink bathmat matches with the pink patterned paper.  Loved playing with some new alphabet stamps, and adding some more decorations to the Simple Stories papers instead of just slotting them in.

I do my weeks from Monday to Sunday, but do this on the Saturday, so I just have to add some photographs from the Sunday and I can move onto the next week.

Project Life FREEBIE Cards

 What do you think? Trying to find my 'voice'...

Both are FREE for your personal use.

Liberation Day

Liberation Day 2013

Thursday 9 May 2013 will mark the 68th anniversary of the Liberation of Guernsey from the occupying German Forces after five long dark years. Liberation Day continues to be an important and poignant day in the history of the Island. Families, friends and visitors to Guernsey celebrate the priceless concept of freedom and enjoy a day filled with the pageantry of Church and Military Vehicle parades as well as wide range of entertainment and activity for all age groups.

 Not just a day off work.  The day when the Germans left Guernsey and we were liberated! Thinking about how to do this as an insert for Project Life.

Garden Filler PL Cards - FREEBIES

I've been looking for some garden themed scrapbook elements and they are a little difficult to find so I thought I would create some filler cards for Project Life.

Project Life - Week Nine

 On Monday I went to get my fourth tattoo (insert). Love it! This is my scrapbook related tattoo... a couple arrows and the word 'explore'.

To remind me to 'explore' the world... my life...

Our dog (Sunner) had a stroke on Tuesday and died on Thursday... sad day. I took Friday as a 'holiday' and scrapped about her.  This photograph is the only one I could find of her at the moment.  I made a simple art card with some Studio Calico hexagon stickers, a velum polaroid frame and some red brads.

I got some new glasses on Saturday. Ones with re-action lenses so I won't be squinting and getting as many headaches when the sunshine makes an appearance.

I'm loving the Project Life movement.  It's interesting to see all the little things you do weekly instead of just the bigger things that make it into the scrapbook album.  I really love the different sized page protectors I got too.  I know that a few months ago I thought it was a mistake to start my first Project Life with the pressure of each page is different instead of Design A. 

Loving PL!  And love looking at other peoples! Share your/your favorite PL blogs!

Project Life - Week 7 and Week 8

 Week Seven.  Was a loooonnnnng week at work.  I created some art cards "Do More of What Makes Me HAPPY" with some Amy Tan papers. 

Week Eight.  I was walking to work on Monday or Tuesday and the thought "I am Worthy" popped into my head... not sure why but I knew I would include that in this week's project life.

I challenged myself to use my big camera everyday this week too.  Used some clear Day of The Week stamps and took a photograph. (Stamps aren't just for stamping! They can stick/cling to mirrors too for some great photographs).

My new Winter boots arrived.  I decided to get some new warmer winter boots (for next winter?!) since it didn't make sence to have freezing cold toes and needing to wear three pairs of thick socks...

The insert is full of photographs of me getting my third tattoo.  I took the day off work and Mom had a half day so she could take photographs for me.  It's a beautiful tattoo! (I'm in love!)  I had to include a screen capture of the comments from Jo-Ann on Facebook!

Project Life - Week 5 and Week 6

 Week Five.  Little Layne's birthday (but we had to celebrate a little later because I was sick, then Mom was sick...)  Even when I am sick and feel all yucky I still think I should do something! productive!!! So I attempted so slowly tidy a little of the craft room.

 And I am still aiming on tidying a little bit more of the craft room...

Week Six... I got a heater for my bedroom... meet my new fur nephew Spot (inset), played with fake tattoo paper.

Loving Project Life!
