A little behind....

You know the things that make me behind on projects are never big epic things, they are things like, the other week I went in to get my photos printed and somehow I managed to muck them up.
Things have been a bit hectic lately and I dunno what I did but a whole bunch of photos had been resized so small I couldn't even print them.

Then sick children and a postponed birthday party got in the way... so I am here and a little behind. But with the birthday all done yesterday I was so happy to get that one pocket finished on this page so I could share it. So here we go....

Closeup's:

One of my favourites for this week is the football related one in the second pocket down, I'm trying hard to remember to include things about the husband.

My other favourite for this week was the middle pocket. I used a super old piece of printed acetate (I placed a white piece of paper behind for photographic purposes) I love how it looks.

Thanks for coming by, I'm hoping to get another one up tomorrow.
Have a blessed day people,
Hayley

Quickie Kiddie Cards

I have had a plethora of children's birthday parties going on and I can honestly say I'm getting a little burnt out of making kiddie cards. I usually love it but like anything, if you do it too much you get over it. We had four birthday's in the weekend and I remembered to take pictures of two cards, it was almost none, hence the very average photos. The time I was going to spend taking pictures of the cards was spent running around the neighbourhood after a bunny that kept going on the road.

 I apologise for the super crappy lighting, that's what we get last minute. So I bought this huge A2 sheet of silver paper to make star's from when Liv's class did their learning celebration and I thought their was no way I would ever use it. Well wouldn't you know it I used it on both of these cards for the name plate. I did both of these on the Cameo and the Tiara was super fast, I am seriously going to cut some of them and have them ready to go.

Anyways, in case you didn't get over my bad lighting, something to cheer you up...

Adorable isn't he, now you can see why I was out trying to keep him out of traffic.
Have a great day

Rainbows and Project Life

We are having a huge week with so much going on, four birthday's this weekend alone, none of them our's but those we need to attend. Liv's is next week and I have so very much to do. I was going to have a quiet night last night and get some things done but we ended up spending most of the night in the ER with the baby. She's ok. I am relieved.

So I made Liv's invites for the Rainbow party, they are pretty ordinary really, I wanted to fancy them up a bit but that wasn't what she wanted so I just went with it.

I also wanted to share my Project Life...

 Closeups:

I love this week, even though we were unwell, hence the child asleep in her apples, we still had things to record even if it was a birthday party we missed etc. The girls particularly love looking at the denist photos. The block I have left blank with the name Janet is for someone important to us that passed away, I haven't quite felt ready to journal about yet, but I will.

I must go and play catch up now!

Have a blessed day

Project Life Share

So at this crop in the weekend I realised the way I talk about Project Life sometimes makes me sound like a crazy person. The ladies were very gracious and assured me I was just "passionate" hehe! But really after listening to myself I am really really into it, like in a trying to convert the masses way. I hope my enthusiasm is catching because I really want some other addicts, I mean scrapbooking friends to get on board. I mean some real life friends, not that you guys aren't great, because we both know you are, but you know someone I can bounce things off over the craft table. Anyways I digress...

I have a few weeks of PL to share, I am keeping up fine but I am still playing catch up with my posting..

Excuse the gap where the snow books picture is going to go, as soon as we made them, one went to kinder and one went to school and they are yet to make their way home again. My favourite for this week is of course the snow ones... fabulous fun.

And this is the following week...

Closeups...

I have two favourites for this week, the first is the football one in the middle of the second page, I enjoyed this because I don't do that much stuff about my husband and it was great to include it. The second fave is the pocket with the pixelated photo of my daughter with her friends at the school disco. You can't see but you would never believe it out of the three girls, the one who stood their not smiling but eating her chips was my daughter, the scrapbookers daughter, unbelievable! I loved this one because these are kind of things I wish I had pictures of from when I was little.

I must get moving now as I have a birthday card to finish for a party tomorrow and Liv's birthday invites to finish up.
Have a fab night

I always forget...

The reason you see so few cards shared on my blog lately is because I always remember right after I post it, that I should share it. I have a problem with posting, not the making, not the addressing, just the actual leaving the house to post the card part. Ridiculous when I go past a post box on my way to and from school. But I do. So if by chance I make it to the postbox, damn it the card is going in, even if I would so love to share it because who knows when I'll make it back. Unfortunately some of my favourites I forgot to photograph and now they are gone which is good because that is after all the purpose, but now I can't remember them.

Man I go on... anyways, I made this card for Piradee who very kindly send me some lovely washi tape and I wanted to say thanks you're awesome back to her.

Super easy card using my Amy Tangerine 6x6 sketchbook pad, I've really enjoyed that line and they are so not my normal colours. Really loving my new AC Roxie Shoreline stamps, I have used them a heap already.

I love how they have the outline and the solid, I think they're really good value.

I saw a fab card that Kimber McGray did over at 2peas for the Saturday Sketch Challenge and thought I would give it a go. Mine is pretty  much a duplicate of her's using different products. I really wanted to try her envelope look and I had a few of these glassine envelopes laying around.

It was actually really easy and I think it turned out cute, we have a ton of children's birthday's coming up so it will definately get used.

Have a great day guys,
Hayley

I actually got out of the house....

to crop! Which I haven't done since before baby GG came so it was long overdue. It isn't the easiest thing to wrangle when you breastfeed. A while ago I was chatting about/possibly whinging about how long it had been and my LSS owner came up with a brilliant plan. Yesterday at ScrappinPatch we had a Mother and Daughter crop. It was fabulous. So GG came and she was so good.

My little scrapbooking superstar.

So I had a lot of fun and a ton of laughs and even got a few pages done.

Used a bunch of Cameo stuff on here - the title, the circle border, the file folder and the orange tab. Some crate paper stickers, washi tape and paper scraps and I was done.

I will share the other's when I have a moment to do my journalling.

Hope you got some creative time this weekend!

All PL all the time

So here are another couple of weeks of my project life. I decided for the girls birthday's that I will add a birthday week insert as we usually do a lot and it just gives me a bit more room and makes them feel a bit more special. So this first insert is Sophia's birthday week. I thought for a spread where it is all about the same event that I would try using all the same collection, I like it but I think I prefer the mixed up look of the other weeks.

Closeups:

Please excuse this first pocket, that photo is temporary, this one came out much too dark and I forgot to reprint it, it's not stuck in and that is the reason for the funny angle.

Moving right along, my next spread is for the week of the 28th of May.

Closeups:

Oh I loved this week so many bits and pieces captured, just makes me feel all warm inside!

Happy memory keeping people!
