Top Ten 2020 Crafts

2020 was the year that my crafting fell off a cliff. I just didn’t do much crafting at all… Let’s see what I actually did accomplish:

1. Big Sentiment Christmas - Hands-down my favorite Christmas card that I made this year!

2. Silver Falling Snowflakes - I also really loved this Christmas card that I made!

3. You’re All Heart - Just look at these gorgeous fun heart cards!

4. Week in the Life 2020 Project - I completed this year in the year and apparently early in the pandemic. Interesting project.

5. December Daily 2019 - Another project that I really love doing every year. Hoping to continue into 2021.

6. Abstract Slip - This was such a beautiful simple card using some of my favorite colors!

7. Week in the Life 2019 Project - I reached back into 2019 and got this one done. Still really love this project and will continue into 2021.

8. Merry and Bright DSP - One last Christmas card that I loved making!

9. March Memory Planner Pages - I got stuck about halfway through the year, but I did get a few months complete.

10. An Elegant Cake - One last pretty card for 2020.

Week in the Life 2020 - Saturday and Sunday

For 2020’s WITL, I wasn’t planning on doing it until late summer or so. But then I thought that documenting a week during the height of the pandemic and quarantining might be interesting. I ended up creating almost a time capsule for future years. For my base pages, I pulled paper from a variety of stashes, using the Days of the Week puffy stickers as my color guide For insert cards, I used some Week in the Life cards from Ali Edwards and lots of random cards from my stash. Today’s post features Saturday and Sunday.

Project Life January 2019

I finally got my 2019 Family Project Life album started this past week. I know, I’m so far behind! But I have a plan to get caught up. I’ve already organized most of the photos in my photos app. I just need to print, journal, and embellish. To help me, I’ve changed up my format this year. For the past two years, I did weekly spreads. They were fine and worked well for those years. But I noticed that I wasn’t consistent in taking photos every week in 2019 and that we visited the same places over and over (OCM, Romp n Roll, etc). I decided to go to a modified monthly format. For each month, I will have a number of miscellaneous pages including photos from around the house and random things. The remaining pages will each be dedicated to a place that we frequent or a big event.

For January, I have four pages of miscellaneous photos and such, including a page of our grilled cheese experiments. I then have one page dedicated to Romp n Roll and one page dedicated to the Children’s Museum. I purposefully left off embellishments on our event pages and focused on the miscellaneous pages. I plan on using the same format through the year.

Supplies used: I found an entire stack of Simple Stories year journalling cards and embellishments completely unused in my stash. I will be pulling primarily from that set for all my journalling cards this year.

Week in the Life 2019 - Saturday and Sunday

For this year's WITL, I kept pushing my week off until finally fall came and I picked September 16th - 22nd. I had a random album in my stash and used that. For my base pages, I pulled paper from a variety of stashes, but I did stick to brighter colors. For insert cards, I used some Week in the Life cards from Ali Edwards. I love the coordinating colors. Today’s post features my cover page, Monday, and Tuesday.

December Daily 2019: Part 2

Warning: Photo Heavy Post

Another December Daily album. I once again went to a 6x8” album for my pages. The base pages all came from the same kit Santa Stops Here from Bella Blvd. Instead of doing a page for every day, I took all the photos and events and made an album. I really love my color palette for this year’s album. Plus I used a ton of scraps, journaling cards, and embellishments from my stash.
