Week In The Life 2016 - Wednesday in album

Hey hey Monday, errr... I mean Tuesday. Boy is it just  me or does everyone have the same problem with Tuesday turning into Monday when Monday is a holiday?? Oh, good so its not just me. I'm all about being off on a Monday, but then Tuesday sure kills it for me. LOL Want to share Wednesday with you today.
This day just happened to be our 11 year anniversary, so it was a little different than any other Wednesday, not completely but a little. We both had to work so thats all like a normal day, but I got up to a super sweet and mushy card from David!!
Lumch consisted of chips and a Mt. Dew today. This is pretty normal for me so I'm glad that I document it. Got home to find David of course on his phone. ;)
Went out to dinner to celebrate, got back home to Gunner who was not happy that we basically got home from work only to turn around and leave again. Poor thing. And thats it for Wednesday. I've realized that it really doesn't take a lot of photos to tell your story, Just a few throughout the day really is all it takes. Now thats not to say that next year, if I do this project, and we're no longer in the camper or I have a new job that I won't want to document way more. But for now this works for me.

Week In The Life 2016 - Tuesday in album

Hello Monday and Happy Memorial Day. I;m back sharing Tuesday today. And it pretty much looks like Monday as far as how the pages go. I did start with the two 4x6 page protectors then the four 3x4 one.
For the title pages to start off each day I'm using one of Ali Edwards digital elements. Love the way it looks with the full page photo.


 I also cut up a Becky Higgins page protector to add these last few photos.
 And that's what Tuesday looked like.

Week In The Life 2016 - Monday in album


 Hello & Happy Sunday!! Ya'll I am so excited that I have actually completed my Week In The Life album just a couple weeks after the project. As you know that has NEVER happened! 2016 is my third year doing this project and it took months to finish 2015 and I still have finished 2014. I do have plans to finish 2014 just not sure when. ;) So over the next few days I'll be sharing my album.
I ordered Ali Edwards Week In The Life kit and who knows, maybe that's the reason I actually finished this album so quickly. Every other time I've done this I've never ordered the kit, but who knows.
Our days are pretty much the same most of the time with a few extras thrown in now and then. Of course this year we are living in the camper so it's different in that respect.


Monday really was all about the weather. Pretty sure I repeated myself on the weather, but I'm rolling with it. And that's what Monday looked like.

Celebrating 11 Years - mini album

Hey hey, hope you're having a great weekend so far. I know I am. We just got home not to long ago from a quick 24 hr little getaway. We didn't go to far or do anything that was to special, but we still had fun.


 I got this super cute itty bitty instax album (it's the cutest thing ever) and I knew that I wanted to use it to document our 11 yr. anniversary. I picked out some papers and used the tag die from Studio Calico to use in it. My original plan was to use pictures from our actual anniversary (May 11), but we both ended up having to work so we just went to dinner. I took a few pictures then, but we decided to use our little getaway as part of celebrating too, so I'm using some pictures from that.




I tried doing some embossing on a couple of the pictures and even though the embossing powder got a little messy, I still like the way looks. Just need to practice it some more. I picked up a Rangers emboss IT pen and used that for the XOXO and a Kelly Purkey stamp on the bottom one.

Pretty sure I'm going to need one of these cute little albums in every color. This was a very simple and quick mini album and I can't wait to do another one!

Project Life - Week 13

Happy International Scrapbooking Day! Hopping on real quick to share week 13 this morning. This was the week that I also document a day in the life, so there's a few more pictures than usual.
To document a day in the life I used a baseball card size sleeve, Ali Edwards Day In The Life kit and her digital layered templates.
 I took a lot of pictures throughout the day, but in the end I just picked the ones that I really liked and the ones that really represent what a normal day looks like around here.


I'm still loving that time/date stamp from the kit. I'm sure I'll be using it all the time.
And that's a wrap on week 13, my first insert for the year and my first time documenting a day in the life. I'm off to hopefully get some more creative time in today. Hope you have a great weekend.

Project Life Week 11 & 12

Hello hello and TGIF!!! Boy who else is excited that the weekend is finally here? I know I am, but then again I'm always ready for the weekend. Wanted to share weeks 11 & 12 today to hopefully get kind of caught up on sharing project since next week starts Week In The life and that will take up all of my time . 
 For whatever reason week 11 had very few photos. Not sure if it was just a busy week or I just didn't feel like taking any photos. Either way that's how life goes sometimes. But that full 12x12 photo makes me happy so in the end I'm more than happy with how the spread turned out.
Another large photo to start off week 12 and I love it too. The weekend was pretty busy with taking some SR. picture for two of my nephews and fishing and riding our side by side. This spread screams Spring and fun and sunshine to me. Love it!!!! Tomorrow is National Scrapbooking day and I've got plans to hopefully get caught up on some more of my projects so that I can give my full attention to documenting a week in the life. What about you, any fun scrapbooking plans this weekend?

One Little Word March

 Hey, hey happy hump day! Wanted to share my March One Little Word album today. The prompt for the month was to create a vision board. I went back and forth on how I wanted to do this. I thought I would do like Ali and some of the others in the class and do an actually board, but in the end I decided on something simple that I could just slide right into my album. Who knows maybe once we are out of the trailer and have more room I'll go back and do a board to hang in my office. But for now this is what worked for me.
Added the saying right onto one of my photos. I love doing this to make a big impact. I added the 3x4 cards to remind me to use my word, be open to my word, believe in my word.
To trust in my word, focus on my word, and to make my word visible. I'm really loving this class and the idea behind it. Looking forward to using my word the rest of the year.

Hello, Monday. Now that I've completed my Week In The Life album I'm playing catch up with my Project Life album. I know I've said it before, but man I hate being behind on this project or any project really. But life gets busy and hello if you're not living life then what to do you document?!?! Anyway I wanted to share week 9 today.

And thats a wrap for week nine. Hope you're having a great Monday.
