Project Life Tuesday: Week 7

36

Happy Week 7 to you sweet blog readers and Project Lifers! Can you believe we’re already 7 weeks into this? Whoa. Time flies! Ha!

Today I’ve got a special treat for you! An awesome giveaway! Yay! I LOVE giveaways!! First let me talk about my week 7 really quick.

This week I used some goodies from the Clementine Core Kit that I love and also some goodies from the Martha Stewart office line at Staples (Thank you, bestie!!). I threw in some thickers, flair and I’m loving my stapler lately so I any little bits I can, I staple. LOL! Also, this week I used cards from the kit that Crystal and I collaborated on. You can see the cards from the kit on this page – “hello there life” and “A Story from Today.”

:left page:

On the right side, I used more Martha Stewart labels, the sweet tag I created using the March Card Kit from Simon Says Stamp, another 4×6 card from the kit Crystal and I put together and I also cut out a piece from the Nashville Symphony pamphlet from our field trip last weekend and included that.

:right page:

I added a 8.5×11 page protector to this week to include the sweet cards I got for Valentine’s Day from my husband and kids. I stapled one of the 3×4 cards from our new kit to the side and added a label as well. :)

:some close ups: :both pages:

I’m going to have more details and previews of the new kit that we’re releasing up on my blog soon once it’s in Crystal’s shop, which should be later today. I promise that you’re going to love it! It’s a BIG kit FULL of cards in all different sizes that fit in multiple Project Life page protectors and they are also great to use on cards and on traditional scrapbook layouts. So many ways to use them! I’m excited to show you more.

I’m going to give away this new collection to TWO people. To be entered, leave a comment on THIS post. Everyone who links up to their Project Life below gets an extra entry! ;)

I’ll draw a winner on Friday! Good luck and have a great day everyone!! Hugs!!

Simon Says Stamp

Reply

I had the pleasure of being sent this beautiful March Card kit from one of my most favorite scrapbook sites online, Simon Says Stamp. You MUST check out this website if you haven’t already. I love ordering from Simon Says Stamp. Their product selection is great, prices are wonderful and the folks there, well that is the best thing about Simon Says Stamp – Heidi and the rest of the folks there are the sweetest that I’ve ever encountered. I’m serious. Heidi also has a heart of gold. (Love you, sweet friend).

So when she surprised me by sending me this kit, it totally made my day. I wanted to share with you the few things I’ve been able to create with the kit (so far) and to just give you all a heads up on the great store that Simon Says Stamp is and how awesome their new monthly card kits are. FEbruary’s kit sold out and March is ALMOST sold out so be sure to check out the website and pick you up one if there are any left! They will probably be gone by the end of the day! Be sure to also check out the website so you can stay up-to-date on it all so you can snag yourself an April Card Kit. I am SURE it’s going to be amazing, too! 

I haven’t had as much time as I would like to create, but I was able to whip up a simple card:

 This beautiful tag that I’m going to attach to a gift that I am planning on giving:

 And in the spirit of Project Life Tuesday, tomorrow – I even created a sweet tag to put in my Project Life Week 7 pages:

I love how soft and beautiful this kit is. Very elegant and light. It’s so easy to whip up some sweet and simple cards, tags and more. I think it would be so fun to have one of these beautiful kits delivered to my door every month! 

You can find Simon Says Stamp’s store HERE, their blog HERE, Facebook page HERE and follow their tweets HERE. They are all so sweet there and are worth checking out for sure.

I hope you have a great Monday! BIG hugs! See you tomorrow for Project Life Tuesday!!

Project Life Tuesday: Week 5

16

Happy Project Life Tuesday you guys! :)

I hope you all are having as much fun as I am with Project Life! It has been such a breath of fresh air every week! I get giddy every time I slip something into one of those little pockets! Ha! I’m a dork! ;) Anyway, here are my week five pages:

 :left:

On this page I’ve got my week five card and then a couple of journaling cards describing the photos on that side along with one of my journaling cards so that I can remember a funny thing that Caylin said. Love jotting down those silly quotes and using them in my album. I know I am going to love looking back and reading those! ;) You can find those journaling cards HERE. They’re on sale now for $1! :)

Also on my left page, I used some American Crafts embellishments (Thickers, Flair and a super cute Amy Tangerine camera sticker) and I printed out the logo to a creative workshop I’m attending in March since it was a present to myself (I had a birthday last week). ;)

:middle:

Since my birthday was last week, I used an 8.5×11 page protector and slipped the sweet birthday card from my kids into it. I’ve got to find the other cards I got and I’ll slip those in, too. Then I took one of the super cute cards from THIS kit and stapled it to the side of the protector. If you haven’t checked out those cards yet – you must! Crystal and I created them to raise money for a sweet girl named, Claire. You can read all about that HERE. :right:

The right side has more photos and journaling cards. I also included the sweet little handmade Valentine that Caylin and I made for her friends last week. We had a little homeschool group get together and everyone exchanged valentines. Caylin and I had so much fun making them together and I wanted to be sure I kept one so we made an extra one. Be sure to save one and include it in your album!

Well, those are my week five pages! Thanks so much for stopping by! I LOVE seeing everyone’s pages and being inspired!  

I’d love to see your Week 5 pages! Link up below if you’d like! Check out more awesome Project Life inspiration HERE on my friend Jessica’s blog!

Project Life Tuesday: Week 4

17

Happy Tuesday, friends!

Sorry I’m a bit late getting my Project Life Tuesday up this morning. My camera battery died last night before I took pictures of it and so I had to get that charged and then wanted to wait for some sun to take better shots of my pages.

:left page:

:right page:

Didn’t do anything different this week – just had lots of photos to stick on in and little notes to jot down. I love how my daughter started her own “Project Life” album this past week and I included a photo of it on the right page (bottom left). She is so proud of it! She was working on it while I was working on mine. It’s just another sweet thing we can do together. When I asked her if she needed to use some of my journaling cards from my core kit her eyes lit up and she was like, “YES, PLEASE!” ;) I think her album is turning out awesome. 

A whole month finished! How cool is that? No stress. Super fun and what a great keepsake already! SO excited and SO thankful I started Project Life this year. I’ll be doing it every year from now on – without a doubt.

I’d love to see your Week 4 pages! Link up below if you’d like! Check out more awesome Project Life inspiration HERE on my friend Jessica’s blog!

Hugs to you all!
