Project Life Day!

Hey Everyone!

I'm sharing my Project Life today....

Closeups:

My faves for this week are Phia learning to peel vegetables and the bunny adventure.
I know my project life lovers know this but for anyone else, pretty much all of the stories on this page would not have made it into one of my big scrapbooks, I love that, I love that my stories are here.

Thanks for dropping by...
Have a great day

This baby...

This baby is the light of my life. I really need to start doing a bit more work on her album... oh you know... like start it, or else she is never going to know how much I adore her and what an awesome, easy, sweet, gorgeous baby she was. I will forget all the details unless I write them down, so I really need to get to it.

I participated in a challenge over at 2peas this week which was the perfect time to whip out a page. The challenge included a cutting file for the Silhouette so that was a great bonus. I adore this MME paper, this time I cut out a couple of duplicates and popped them up on foam adhesive. I also cut a few others out and added a vellum with script on it behind.

So here's my page:

I included this detail photo to show the silver paper behind the cut, you can't tell in the first flat image.

My favourite part was a quote I had written down in my journal, it describes just how I feel about GG, it just fit perfectly.
"And then my soul saw you and it kind of went, "Oh there you are, I've been looking for you".
Love that.

Have a fab day

It's project life day....

Hiya!

A quick post from me today to share my Project Life.
I've had visitors this morning, which was lovely but it's put me out of synch with my PL post. ha!
Everyone knows Wednesday is PL day. Well maybe not everyone, maybe just me.
Anyways... enough rambling...

Have a blessed day

Use your stash....

I love use your stash challenges because let's face it, it is harder to get out those older supplies when we have brand new ones calling our name. I still like most of my older stuff  and a challenge gives me a little kick to not take the easy way out. Scrappin Patch are having some challenges - posted on Wednesday's so if you're keen to join in you can find them here

The only real stipulations this week were: you couldn't have purchased any of the product this year, except for cardstock. That was actually not too hard... but I must admit I did get a couple of things out and then thought, oh they're probably too new. The newest thing I think used is those SC rubon stars and they are probably 2011.

Here is my page:

Edited to add product list:
Papers: Blue Alpha & Yellow Scrap (Ki Memories), Green (DCWV), Spot (October Afternoon), Graph (MME Lush). Stickers & Star Rubons (Studio Calico). Lettering: Alpha used for outline and numbers (American Crafts).

One thing to keep in mind when using older things, is some things actually don't keep very well. That science rubon took a fair bit of love and attention to get down. So use up those rub on's or else they may not work!


Have a great day all

Friday night cards...

Their is something extremely satisfying about end of the day crafting for me.
It's that feeling that everyone is where they need to be, children in bed, jamie amusing himself with some comedy on the tv or on the computer and me pottering about crafting.
It is the time of day when I get to exhale and although I don't wish my days away, I do look forward to it. I love the quiet and there is not a lot of quiet in my day.

So last night I made a couple of cards...

Have a blessed day all,
Hayley

Two Peas Colour Challenge

I have been enjoying the weekly challenges over at 2peas and try and squeeze one into my week now and then. This week's colour combination one interested me so I gave it a go.

This is the colour combo:

This image is from design seeds and they are awesome, if you are lacking in inspiration you can check them out here. They have every combination imaginable, makes me want to scrapbook all day long!

So here is my page....

I didn't have quite the right aqua and turquoise but I made do with what was laying around.

Detail shots:

Have a great day guys!

Lily Bee August Sketch

I really like Lily Bee and I had bought up some of their papers a few months ago and had been hoarding them. Hoarding them for some special occasion apparently ha! I have to remind myself that I really do enjoy my supplies more once they're actually on a page.

I really love their tone on tone dot papers, they are my favourite and so darn useable. So I popped over to their blog and saw a sketch that caught my eye and decided to give it a go.
There are lots of great ideas on that blog if you want to check it out go here.
Here is the sketch:

And here is my page, I actually followed the sketch a lot closer than usual, it just seems to work out that way.

 And some details:

I used all Lily Bee products, except for the two Amy Tangerine stamps (arrow and "the best") and the Studio Calico veneers that I coloured grey with my chalk ink.
I am really happy with this one, and pleased to have done a page about Jamie as it's been a long while.
Thanks for dropping by.
Have a great day
Hayley
