My Trip Book- Even More Catching Up!


Here's the problem I always seem to have: I go on a trip, take a ton of pictures, return home and develop my hundreds of pictures, tell myself I will scrapbook them later...then never get to them. Until recently this has been my anthem. Prime example- my trip to the city of hustle and bustle, NYC. I went on this trip in 2009 with a group from college. I'm ashamed to admit that I didn't do much scrapbooking in college. In fact, I don't think I did any...so I have some catching up to do. This project has been looming over me ever since I've decided to really get back in to scrapbooking. While I'm scrapbooking my most recent adventures (probably because I have the strongest memories of those) , I look at that pile from NYC and tell myself, "you can get to that one later." So finally "later" came and it was time to tackle the project that's been sitting there staring at me.

I've decided to post some of the pages I've completed. As I've said before, I'm really bad at remembering (or saving) the names of the products I've used. Sorry!

At first, I wanted to make this page super patriotic and lots going on. Then I remembered the mood of when I was visiting. I decided the pictures said so much that I didn't want to take anything away. So I kept it simple. The USA flag sticker is something I remember! I just purchased this as Michael's. It's called "A touch of Jolee's- Patriotic Flag Stickers". The cute little tag came from K&Company's Americana Collection






I'm totally in love with these Me & My Big Ideas button stickers! I've used them quite a few times in this scrapbook.  Another thing I'm in love with? The stamp! I just purchased it at Micheal's. It's from Recollections and it was brand new to Michael's this week!
I am proud to say that I finally purchased my first Project Life Core Kit! Yay! Thanks to PL, they now sell a few kits at Hobby Lobby. So of course I snagged up the Honey Edition...I'm in love, again. (I think I need to find something else to say instead of "I'm in love".)
Seriously? Who doesn't love Amy Tangerine? Thanks Amy making this adorable paper! And that washi tape? We can thanks Joann Fabric's dollar bins for that one. 
I love using pictures, but I'm a huge fan of using tickets, brochures, maps, etc. Gives it a nice little punch. Oh, and do you like the journaling card? Target is now carrying some scrapbook supplies! I picked up a pack of We R Memory Keepers journal cards. It's part of their "Albums Made Easy- Memory System". These bad boys came in a pack of 18 (double sided) and cost less than $2!

    I love those NY flair buttons so much! Not to mention the cuteness of all the washi.

    PS I've come to the conclusion that I need to acquire more stamps. I mean... I already have SO many, but... I need more sentiment stamps. And a clever way to store my clear stamps. Ideas for storage?

      That's where you got me! I love my clear stamps but have struggled with storage. Right now I have them in the photo boxes from Michael's. May not be the best, but at least they have super cute designs!

Dreams Do Come True

Ferris Bueller was so right - Life moves pretty fast. You don’t stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it. My life has been busy, so I've done a horrible job at blogging. BUT NOW I HAVE SOMETHING FABULOUS TO WRITE ABOUT- The proposal at Disney World! *Warning* This post could make others nauseous with the overwhelming amount of cuteness and romanticness (is that even a word? Is now.) Read at your own risk. But really, you should read. Because it's cute. And I said so. It all started back in January when Brandon drove to my parents house to tell them the news and ask for their permission. Immediately my parents asked how they could help. Minutes later, my mom brings out my Grandma Irene's engagement ring and tells him she'd be honored if he could somehow use it. After weeks of Brandon e-mailing my mom, he had the proposal all figured out. Just look at that cheesy smile! My mom put the ring in her purse the night before we left for Disney. My da

My Creativity Has Returned!

Note to self- whenever I want to accomplish something, post about it on my blog. I have finally accomplished some scrapbooking AND some wedding planning. Look at me go! It just took a little bit of guilt from posting about it...and TA-DA! So where to begin? I've accomplished so much. Ok, well really not a lot...but compared to the last 2 months it's A LOT. Let's start with some scrapbooking shall we? But not right away. First we need to admire my lovely salsa I canned this weekend. Yes. I also canned salsa this week. No big deal. I received an e-mail from my dad asking if I was coming home. It was followed by CANNING IS FUN! I NEED YOUR HELP. He must have been desperate. And I knew I would get to keep some for myself so I figured why not? So let's take a minute to admire all of those tomatoes I juiced, the peppers, jalapenos and onions I cut (and shed tears for), and the minutes I spent over the warm stove stirring this deliciousness. Best part- it's all home

I DID IT! Last PL 2013 Post

Image
Whew. I did it. I can check one of my 2014 goals off the list. I finished my 2013 Project Life album. Like always, I started out strong. Then towards the end I lost momentum. I just wanted to be done. Maybe I'll go back and add more to the pages, change them up a bit. But for now it's finished. And I'm happy. week of November 10-16- I'm sure you noticed my lovely eye picture- sorry about that. But this week was more about pictures, and less about journaling. I used cards from WRMK for this page. The "notes" journaling paper at the top is from the $1 bins at Target- what a find! week of November 17- 23 - More eye pictures...sorry (or am I?!). This week we celebrated Thanksgiving with Brandon's family since we were going to be in Hawaii the next week. Like usual, I forgot to take pictures at Thanksgiving. One day I'll take a pictures...one day. How cute are those little turkey and fox stickers?! Thank you Michaels $1 sticker books :) w
