Project Life - January

So let's talk Project Life!  Warning...this is a long post and photo heavy! 

Last year I posted my title page for 2011 but never got a chance to post any of my pages.  Like I said before, life just got in the way of my hobbies! :)  If you read my original post you will see my process and how I use Project Life to capture our story.  This year I've decided to post those 2011 pages each month respectively, and then after completing my 2012 pages for that same month I will post them as well.  Hope that makes sense. :)

So here are my pages for January 2011:

 Title page (see original post here)

First page starts with New Year's Eve.  Photo sleeve on right side is from We R Memory Keepers.  

I used two different Ali Edwards journals on these pages along with some stamping. 

Definitely need more practice taking photos of my pages in the photo sleeves!  :)  Not sure why these are so blurry...

I placed a picture of the cards that I made during the month for special occasions in a 6x6 page protector. 

Back side of the previous birthday card.

Bottom left - I used two journal cards in this 4x6 slot and added a photo to go along with the story of that day.

 Two page spread on celebrating a few January birthdays along with another birthday card. 

Used an overlay from Ali Edwards for the top left photo.  I love her overlays! :)

Included the 8x10 photo from my son's team photo shoot. 

One of the reasons why I love Project Life...I am able to incorporate full layouts in my album.  Here is an 8x8 layout of me cooking with the girls! :)

Left - back side of the previous 8x8 layout. I used a Cathy Zielske Story Guide layout to interview my daughter. 

WOW...that was a lot!  Thanks for stopping by.  :)

Happy Holidays...

Hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas and spent some quality time with family and friends!  

Here is holiday card that was inspired by Karen's card from Altered Scrapbooking using an old sketch (#29) from Cas-ual Fridays.  I took it a step further by cutting out four more snowmen and adhered them with pop dots for some dimension.    

DP is from MME Wonderful Winter paper stack and sentiment is from PTI's Stylish Sentiment; Holidays. 

Christmas Joy & Cheer

I can't get enough of MME Lost and Found Christmas collection!  Here is another quick card...still keeping my holiday cards simple.  :)

Sentiment from PTI's Stylish Sentiment stamp set.  Added a bow and some rhinestones and this card was done!!!  :)

MME Merry Christmas 2

Here is another quick and super simple card using MME Lost and Found Christmas collection.  

This card is very clean and simple!  Just the way holiday cards are supposed to be!  :)

MME Merry Christmas

Another quick and simple holiday card using MME Lost and Found Christmas collection.

I inked the edges of the card base and the tag, adhered the ribbon, added glitter to the background paper to mimic the tag...and this card was done!  :)  Very simple...

MME Happy Holidays

Here is another card that was made using MME Lost and Found Christmas paper.  

There wasn't much to do on this card.  I simply cut around the design on the paper, inked the edges, added 3 red rhinestones to the top right hand corner and adhered it to PTI dark chocolate cardstock...and rounded the top corners!  :)

I will enter this card for the current Jay Gee's challenge:

MME Season's Greetings 1

Here is another holiday card that I created using MME Lost and Found Christmas papers.  I am in love with this collection, in fact it was really hard for me to cut this paper. I made four cards from one sheet of 12x12 paper.  Will post the others later...still have to photograph them. 

Sentiment from PTI, Stylish Sentiment; Holiday and of course, red rhinestones for that Christmas bling!  :)
