You Are So Very Loved

Sharing a layout made for Come On Get Crafty's Everyday. Life. Documented series. I used PL cards to make a traditional page. But as you can see, you can definitely use the embellished cards into your pocket page protectors.

It was very easy to add several photos by using the cards in a grid design. I added a vellum background I cut with my cameo. It helped to ground the photos and add visual interest.

I love these photos of Tony & I but if you look closely at our faces you can see that it was 90 something degrees and 100% humidity! Holy cow it was so darn hot! Although well worth it because the pictures we took in this location are some of my favorite of the day.

 

May PL spread

Hey everyone today I have a PL layout over on the COGC blog for their Everyday Life. documented series.

May was crazy busy for us! Let's see... We had Aly's prom, my birthday, Sophia's spring musical, Mothers day, a romantic bday weekend away, AND a complete bedroom redo! Needless to say I needed to use an insert. AND more so a glass of wine!

Right side, left the title card nice and simple

Left side, which I left mostly photos because nothing could compete with my daughters beautiful prom :)

Insert - front and back

Made a little pocket to hold her ticket and table place card

My Mother's Day was FAB & my kids spoiled me rotten

Notice the new Birthday shoes. They came in handy because my husband took me away for a weekend and I got spoiled rotten again

My daughters beautiful corsage which included a piece of her gorgeous dress

Home really is where the heart is

Thanks so very much for looking!

 

Project Life Week 3

I am soooooooooo loving PL!!!

Project Life Week 2

Love getting all these little moments in an album. Really wishing that I started PL years ago.

Also love getting my kids to write on the cards!

Project Life Week 1

So this is officially my first project life spread I ever created. I was hooked! As the weeks pass I'm sure I'll work out all the kinks & get into a flow.

Oh & the SC kit rocks!

Project Life Cover Page 2013

Ok I'm in....LOL Finally jumped on the Project Life bandwagon & I am loving it!!!! I'm on week 3 now. I originally thought that I wouldn't have enough to fill a week & was just going to do monthly. Well low & behold I have way more to remember than I thought. I also didn't think the kids would let me take pictures of their everyday either & boy was I wrong. They too are totally digging this. I even got my husband to bring home ticket stubs & even took a camera with him to get a shot & he took 5!! LOL

Anyway, like I said, I'm all over this!! I am using the Studio Calico PL kit. I also have Becky Higgins PL Clementine, Seafoam & all 3 childhood additions with plans on getting Honey, Kraft & Midnight when they are in stores in the Spring. 

I also love using Chic Tags & Elle's studio! 

                   AND 

ALL MY STAMPS FINALLY!!!!!

In the 3 weeks doing this I quickly learned that I prefer the white bases as opposed to the creams. Just my personal preference. Although I love this page I wish it was white based. The stick people represent our lives this year. Tony & I still in our honeymoon stage LOL. Alyssa will be graduating High School. Michael will be graduating Junior High. Sophia is growing up too fast but is still my baby girl. I even included our pets. Bugsy the bunny, Dribbles the turtle, Hercules the Gecko & our parakeets Tinkerbell & Larry Bird (On a sad note; our crazy Larry Bird is in heaven now but is still part of the family)

Looking forward to being able to have a glimpse into our everyday lives because these moments are just as important as the BIG stuff! :)

I am very blessed & I am grateful for that!
