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!

Week In The Life 2015 (Saturday & Sunday)

 Hello, hello and happy Saturday! I actually finished my 2015 Week in the life album!!!!!! Before the next on starts on May 9th!!!!! Ya'll I really am excited that I got it done. And I really want to go back and finish my 2014 album too. It's a goal of my to get it done by the end of the years.

I didn't do anything amazing with the album as you can tell by the rest of the album and I'm totally ok with that. At this point all I cared about was getting the stories and memories and our routines down in this album. So if you want take a minute to finish looking at what our Saturday & Sunday looked like.

Wohooo!!! So glad that this project is complete and on the shelf. Now that I finished it and looking back on my uncompleted 2014 album I've figured out a few things for this project for 2016 and I'm really looking forward to documenting a week in our lives this year. Not to mention that the super cute kit that I ordered from Ali Edwards will make it that much easier to help me complete it a lot quicker or at least that's the reason I keep telling myself that's why I ordered it. :) Are you joining in this year?

Valentines Mini Album

Hello and happy Tuesday. I hope y'all had a fantastic Valentines weekend and of course day off yesterday (if you were one of the lucky ones to be off). I had an extra long weekend, 4 days and I was NOT wanting to go back to work today. I was pretty productive this weekend and managed to actually start and finish our Valentines mini album and have almost completed my December daily album too.  A very good weekend in deed. And if you haven't had enough love, hearts, pink and flowers from the weekend then get a cuppa whatever you drink and have  a look at this super simple, but full of love mini, its a long one.

 

If you made it to the end, thanks for hanging in there. That's a lot of love in one mini album. I have to say I'm shocked that I actually started and finished this album all in the same weekend that it covers. Having a Monday off and not getting out of my pj's made for very productive day. I even managed to finish up my December daily album. I'm so ready to get some of my unfinished projects done and put up. Hope you have a great day. Thanks for stopping by.
