Project Life November 2015

I didn't think I would be able to finish these pages before I left for Indiana, but I somehow got them done. Well almost done. I'm missing out Thanksgiving Day pictures. I finished the journaling for those pages, I just need to add the pictures after I return home.

Page 1 featured some of the random photos laying around including Arthur riding the train and petting goat and a great pic of the lizard at the zoo.  I also had a fun before and after comparison of my crafting space. For embellishments, I added some great tags and leaf die cuts. I also decorated my November card with some washi tape.

 

Page 2 highlights our day visiting Habitot with a few friends. I added some tags and small embellishments, but kept it light.

 

Page 3 is all about our monthly trip to CDM. I cut down a sticker frame to add the "super cute" tag. I also used a ton of random stickers that fit with the color theme of the month.

 

Page 4 documents MVPA's first every Holiday Bazaar. In addition to selling Thirty-One and Stampin' Up cards (Colleen manned the table for me), I served as event coordinator. The pictures were taken by our wonderful photographer in residence: Mila. I decided to forego embellishments and leave the pictures to speak for themselves.

 

Page 5 includes our pictures from the Bay Area Discovery Museum. We met some friends for a great day in Sausalito. I added some great little word stickers and tags plus a few leaf stickers.

 

Pages 6 and 7 are marked for Thanksgiving Day.

Page 8 has more random photos from the month. I caught the two top pics at the zoo. The bottom two were taken by friend Colleen at a birthday party. I didn't want to crop any of these as they are so nice. I also chose not to embellish them.

 

Page 9 is the last page of November. Basically this is a just a round-up of the month with a few pictures that I printed but couldn't fit on another page. I'm also missing a picture of the twins in the hot tub on Thanksgiving day. I'll be printing that in December.

 

The last picture for the post is a bonus! I run Arthur's albums October to October. I like the idea of having an album for each year of his life. This may turn into an album for every two years eventually. He just had a birthday October, which meant it was time for a new album. And here's the resulting page! I've decided to stop using the Project Life Baby Neutral kit and start using the random small kid kits I've bought. I started the album with Snap's Baby Boy kit leaving out the baby specific cards. I like the color scheme of yellow, blues, green, orange, and gray. I plan on using this kit until I run out of cards (there's only about 40), and then moving on to the next toddler/little boy kit I have.

Forrest of Trees

Today's card features of forrest of Christmas trees. I went a little crazy with the Tree Punch and Star Punch and then found a design example and incorporated both. Perfect combo! My favorite party is the sparkly silver twine under the stars. Hard to see in the picture, but it really shines.

Christmas Tree Tag

Today’s card is being featured on Stylin’ Stampin’ Inkspiration. The challenge was to create a Christmas tag. I decided to layer some vellum on top of Cherry Cobbler cardstock. From there I added a simple stamped and punch tree and a sentiment. As a last touch, I had to decorate my tree with some Gold Glitz Dazzling Details. For my tag attachment, I made some ribbon using washi tape.

 

I made two tags. The second tag I turned into a card.

A Coffee Christmas

Today’s card is being featured on Stylin’ Stampin’ Inkspiration. The challenge was to create a card, any card, using any current SU products. So of course I made a Christmas card. One of these days I'll pick up a non-holiday set again... Anyways, I went a little embossing happy this week and embossed about 6 different images. Then I started building cards around those images. This is the result of the first image. I love this little coffee cup! So cute! I wanted to break up my piece of cardstock a bit, and so I added a bit of vellum. From there, I finished off the card with the gold sequin trim. It's a very sparkly card in person!

 

Here's a better shot at the pretty embossed coffee cup!

A Dotty Christmas

Today’s card is being featured on Stylin’ Stampin’ Inkspiration. The challenge was to create a Christmas card. Another card featuring the Merry Moments DSP pack. Can't you tell I love it! I again went simple with my design. I focused on the polka dot print and repeated the circles with the embossing folder and sentiment. Another simple yet cute Christmas card.

SSINKCC28: Tip Top Taupe, Early Espresso, Real Red

Today's card is featured over at Stylin' Stampin' Inkspiration and features a fun color challenge:

 

I somehow ran out of Tip Top Taupe cardstock in my crazy Christmas card frenzy. No worries, I still have the ink! And my Real Red ink just went dry and I don't have a handy reinker. Never fear, I have Cherry Cobbler! Close enough.

For the actual card, I went with this cute reindeer tag that I saw online. Yep, that's my fingerprint. From there, I added a simple sentiment and some dsp. As a final touch, I added a strip of washi tape (couldn't resist the contrasting green).
