The Key Jar

I am in LOVE with this jar that I made!  I saw it on a post from momastery (http://momastery.com/blog/2015/04/24/key-jar/) and it's a big hit!

We've been taking questions from it daily. My favorite so far? "Who do you admire?" My son said "Jason" his friend next door and my daughter said "You, Mom, because you do so much for us." Made my heart happy! I highly suggest printing these out and making your own jar.

Project Life Baseball Page

My son is just the cutest when he plays ball!  He has so much fun and is such a joy to watch.  I bought  the Becky Higgins Baseball Project life cards a while ago with the anticipation of using them for when the kids when playing ball.  I'm really happy with how it came out and it was so quick to put together!

Featured on the Sainsbury Blog

My blog has been featured on a site in the UK for DIY Christmas crafts!  I am so excited to be a part of this, if you get a chance, please check out the site: http://inspiration.sainsburys-live-well-for-less.co.uk/diy-christmas-decorations/.  My project is the Snowman door I did last year.

I am always amazed at the blogging world and how you can be connected to someone thousands of miles away in the UK through a blog.  I just want to thank Sainsbury for having me on their blog!

Rock Climbing Digital Pages

I decided to use some pre-made pages I had from Stampin UP for these two.  I love that Stampin UP lets you download .png files as well as for their software so that you can use in photoshop as well.
Here they are together as I'll put them in my album.

Project Life Pages, Week 12

Here are some new pages I did for my weekly project.  I have been slacking on this and need to get back to working on these.  Lately, I've just kind of been doing digital scrapbooking whenever I feel like it and need to get back to these weekly pages.  Anyway, I used the new Becky Higgins Project Life mini collection,  Dear Lizzy, Polka Dot Party for all the cards.  For the background I used a Jessica Sprague background that I received from her Digital Project Life class, and the template is a Project Life template from AC Digital.

Here is how they will look in my book:

Love the camera 4x6 card!

Back To School Page

Another layout for Back to School!  I love this kit from Sahlin Studio, just recently it was on sale for 50% off and I grabbed it while I had the chance.  It's called Explore.Learn.Grow.

I used a template from Mommyish for the first one the second is from Sahlin Studio's June template challenge.  I also added the film strip from Scrappin with Liz on the one on the left.

I just love the pin board background and the deep reds along with the blues, browns, and green argyle.  

More Back to School Pages

Here are more digital back to school pages I did using Echo Park's Paper and Glue collection.   I just love this collection and the colors!
I took a few templates I had in my stash and just filled them in.  The basic template on the right is a free Sahlin Studio template from May and the banner template is from Little Green Frog's July freebie template.

Back to School Digital Pages

Here are some quick back to school pages I put together using Lori Whitlock's quick Back to School template.  Lately I have been obsessed with all the cute back to school kits out there!  There is actually a free kit I used on here as well from Word Art World that is available on their facebook page through the end of August, hurry up and grab it!  It is super cute!

My son started his 1st day of preschool last week and he is just so super cute that I had to get these pages done right away!  I really love the bright red, blues, and yellow on here.

4th of July Sparkler Digital Page

Here's another page I put together using Lori Whitlock's Patriotic Picnic kit.  I just love the bright colors and patterns on this line!  They are so perfect for 4th of July and even just to use for gender neutral pages.  I also used the Sahlin Studio July challenge template, I normally don't go for 12x12 layouts with just one photo as I usually have so many to scrapbook but thought this would be perfect for my little man and his sparkler:-).  

July 4th Digital Page

I recently bought a few new digital items including this awesome kit from Lori Whitlock called Patriot Picnic.  I love all the bright red, white, and blue colors in it and the coordinating elements.  My first thought was to document last years 4th of July with it but after I downloaded my photos from this year I went with those.  I also used a template from Scrappin with Liz.

Sahlin Studio June Template Challenge

I did this one in the nick of time!  June has been a busy, fun month.  The kids and I have been hangin outside, playing on the lake, and generally having a fantastic summer!  This page is in honor of my daughter's 7th birthday party that we had last week with her classmates.
For the page I used the Sahlin Studio June template challenge, Echo Park's Hello Summer kit designed by one of my favorite designers, Lori Whitlock, and the gray chevron is from a free kit I grabbed from digi scrap addicts as part of their facebook freebies.

Digital Gymnastics Pages Using Pebbles Family Ties

Here are two gymnastics pages I did today digitally using the new Pebbles Family Ties digital kit I got from AC Digitals.  I love the yellow and blue colors in this kit and all the family references.  I know I will use this one a lot!  Today my photos are mostly of my son doing gymnastics and a few of my daughter as well so I knew the colors would be great for it!

I started with a free template I got from Scraporchard as a facebook freebie.  This was my first time creating a page off a digital scrapbook template in elements and it was a lot of fun!  I loved that I can add in my own paper and patterns.  

This template is from Persnickety prints, it's a template for Instagram pics.  I wanted something where I could add a lot of pics and immediately thought of this one.  I changed the sizing a bit and added some paper for layers, along with the snapshots brush from MDS and a banner and washi tape from the Family Ties kit. 

Spring Layout

I bought this gorgeous spring layout from Jessica Sprague a few weeks ago during one of her one buck Wednesday sales.  I love the Lori Whitlock fast pages!  All I did here was add a few brushes and a journaling card along with my photos and I was done.

Project Life, Week 11

Here is my week 11.  I used a new paper pack I got from Lori Whitlock called Life Basics.  I love the green theme for St. Patty's day with the blue thrown in.  I also added in a button, a LUCKY brush, some washi tape, and journaling card that I had as well.  I also used a 4x6 template to make the top right two photo layout to try something different.  Thanks for stopping by!

Project Life, Week 10

For my week 10 layouts I used the new Honey collection from Becky Higgins.  I just love the bright colors on this one and the cute little cameras that are added into the whole collection.  I added a craft paper behind my photos and some white stitching but the rest is from the Honey collection.  Thanks for stopping by!

Blissful Days Digital Page

Jessica Sprague is having a promotion on her page this week for Arbor Day.  If you are new to digital scrapbooking or would like to learn about it, check it out.  She has a few free classes uploaded and will be uploading more this week. She also has a free quick template.  I used it to put together this cute page from Carter's birthday last week.

Project Life Week 9

Here is my Project life files for Week 9.  I used various papers for these, including two freebie winter cards that I got a while back, can't remember from where, but I want to say Becky Higgins (if you know, please let me know).  I just love the Chevron background paper from The Lilypad Designs too!  Thanks for looking!

Project Life Week 8

Here is my week 8 Project life.  I incorporated a couple brushes in this weeks layout.  I again  used my Becky Higgins Midnight cards and threw in some digital washi tape, along with a card from the Clementine edition. Thanks for looking!
