Project Life Layout from March

As I mentioned yesterday I have been doing a lot up in my craft room trying to finish projects up so that I can work on my sons birthday party stuff.  Part of that has been catching up on the last few weeks of my Project Life album.  I printed out over 100 photos from the last two weeks and really wanted to get them scrapbooked and documented while it was all fresh. The day to day photos I am still documenting the Project Life way and when I have more photos, say for a big even like an Easter egg hunt or a birthday party I am doing 12x12 scrapbook layouts still. Here is an example of one of the Project Life layouts I did for March.  It came out cute and I love all the "little" things I am recording in my album this year!

This is a look at my album.  I love that each photo has a story!

This is one page of the week.  I printed out the journaling cards from Imagine using my Imagine More cartridge.  I used Cricut Craft Room to size them so they fit into the slots in my album and I changed some of the colors to go with my color scheme for that week. 

 My other page, I had a few large 4x6 squares that needed dressing up so I did a banner and some balloons in one.  I love how this came out!

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!!

April Calendar Page

I have been doing some mad crafting these last few days trying to finish up all my projects so I can prepare for my sons 3rd birthday party next week.  This includes catching up on Project life and putting together a few scrapbook pages.  My Imagine has been working overtime!  Here is one thing I did, my April Calendar page (finally, right?)  With spring break and Easter this kind of slipped away from me.  Better late than never!

I used my Imagine to print the background paper, using the Imagine More cartridge.  I then used the Designers Calendar to print the grids along with the "April" title.  April was filled in with a pattern from the Imagine More cartridge using Cricut Craft Room.  I also cut out the banner using the Close to my Heart Art Philosophy cartridge and filling it in with a patter from Imagine More as well.  I LOVE that I can do that and have all my paper to coordinate so well!

My April filled in with the Imagine More pattern.  The ribbon was from the last Stampin UP Salebration catalog.

 This is a CTMH stamp that came with my Art Philosophy kit.  We celebrate 2 birthdays (my husband and son) in April and of course, Easter so I wanted to mark that on my page.  The flower and button are also CTMH.

Thanks for stopping by, tomorrow I will post a recent Project Life page layout I did.

Love Bugs Banners for Kids Blog Hop

Hi Everyone and Happy Saturday!  It's an exciting day around my house as it's my daughter's 1/2 birthday!  LOL, okay she is 5 1/2 and boy is she excited, you'd think it was her real birthday!  Anyway, thank you so much for visiting my blog today, hopefully you have come here from Tammy at Tambo's Creations, if not and you want to start at the beginning of this awesome hop, please head on over to Ellen at The Cardmonkey's Paper Jungle.

This time we have almost forty very talented crafters who have come together for a two day hop to showcase handmade banners that will be donated.  The banners bring smiles to the faces of all the children that are cared for at this facility and I am so happy that I could do that as well!

Okay, onto my banner.  I used my new Cricut Imagine (love it) to create this banner.  The cartridges I used were Yummy for the banner and patterns, Imagine More for the butterflies, and Storybook for the letters. I used a Tim Holtz die for the Rosettes with Stampin UP Chocolate Chip paper.  I also used pink twine from the Twinery to tie it all together.  The theme of this hop was "love bugs", I thought it would be fun to use butterflies as my "bugs" on the banner:-)

 Thanks so much for stopping by today!!
