We took a lot of pictures with Logan and Dana this week. We had a fantastic time with them, love our kids. We also learned a crazy new game, not for the weak. We had a great weekend this week.
This week I only used two stamp sets this week, Recollections' "Splat" and Cloud 9 Design's "Dog."
How exciting, we never get snow so almost all our pictures are of snow this week! We also had a wonderful “date” day that couldn’t have been better. And the sweetest thing this week was a text from Logan. Really great week! I used Technique Tuesday’s “Avalon Capital Letter Large” and “O Christmas Tree.”
Week two was not that exciting and I’m afraid my pictures show that. I was sick most of the week so many of my pictures were “living room” pictures. However, at least I took some and I’m still doing PL so that’s ok. This week I used PL products, some Luxe Designs papers, and some Lily Bee Design “abc stickers.” I can’t get over how simple it is to keep up with each week.
I really like getting mail, I think most people do, so I’m going to try to send my son a card at least twice a month while he’s away at college. He is getting a “Gaming” minor and is a comic book guy so for his first card I used Lawn Fawn’s “Critters Ever After,” Stupendous’ “Dragon Tower,” and Doodlebug Design Inc. stamps. A little coloring with Scholar Colored Pencils and it was done. Sorry, not sure why sometimes my pictures don't turn.
Our first week of the new year was, to quote my friend, bittersweet. Our son moved away to college and while I’m very proud of him, wow, I miss him so much more than I ever thought I would. So week one was busy getting him moved and settled in, it was also a time for us to settle in as well. I really believe it’s the little things that add sparkle to life, and we were very lucky to have some of those too.
For week one I used Spellbinders Nestabilities’ “Small Deckled Rectangles,” Tim Holtz’s “Good Thoughts,” and Hampton Art’s “PostScript Calendar.” Quick, easy, and one week down…so far so good. :)
You know, I didn't do it when my son was younger, or when he was doing drumline and all those other fun guy activities. As a matter of fact, I didn't even know it existed. However this year, our first year as "empty nesters" I'm doing it! Project Life here I come. I really like the Turquoise Edition and I'm trying out different pages, but so far I think I like it. I'm not sure how exciting it's going to be though I hope it will help us get out and do more, kind of a win/win situation.
So here is the first page of our Project Life Twenty 13!
Besides PL cards I used Unity's "Love you to Pieces,"Technique Tuesday's Ali Edwards' "The Story" and "Favorite Memories," and Lawn Fawn's "Smitty's ABCs" stamps. Can't wait to show you week one!
Sorry I haven't posted much this year it's been a little crazy, I promise to try harder from now on! :)
This is one of our Christmas cards from last year. We were on a “retro” kick and our cards really reflected that. We even had a white tree with retro colored ornaments! I used Cuttlebug “Traffic Jam” embossing folder, Lawn Fawn “Say Cheese,” My Favorite Things’ “Home for the Holidays,” Rubber Soul’s “Big Pine,” Studio G stamps, and Souffle pens. I know, I really went wild with a lot of different brands of stamps, but they worked so well together. I made quite a few different cards so you’ll be seeing more Christmas cards each week.
