Project Life: Week 9

First of all, I'd like to thank Shimelle for not just her inspiration but for having picked my take on her Starting Point again as one of her faves; and for all the feedback I received on my layouts, for your time and your nice thoughts. For someone who considers herself always a novice on scrapbooking, your time and thoughts are very well appreciated, and will always serve as my motivation to be the best novice scrapbooker I can be. Thank you so much! One of the best things about this hobby, you gain nice friends from the distance...

Moving on, like I mentioned on my previous post, I am sharing my Project Life, week 9 here...

I was able to record as much of the Leap day on the 29th and made a Life Capsule.

Whoever finds this cannot open the envelope until the next Leap Year!

Most of the journaling is kept inside, and one page made simple. Still working on the

photos for my March PL and I'm afraid it won't get done before April kicks in. Oh well...

Time to get shopping at SC so will see you again. Happy crafting!



Poject Life: Weeks Missed

Finally! I had them on my camera but didn't have the chance to download the photos until last night. So here are my missing weeks from the last posting. So glad to have started this album (did I mention that before?). If there's anything that will motivate me to record those daily photos, it will be the same kind of project. Thank you to Ms. Becky Higgins and her hubby for coming up with such a brilliant idea. Little do they know how my little world is filled with gratefulness because of this: my daily ordinary photos made into extraordinary, and my hoarding of little things finding a place and getting organized in a very pretty album! So here it is....

 Week6 was foggy almost the whole week and I had great photos of the fog that didn't make it here....

 I enjoyed stamping Ms. KP's babies all over this week on my album and found it really cool on pps too!

 This was taken later but was able to catch-up "A Day in The Life". Pretty much what our day to day is like.

 Still thinking of inserting a page of journaling the daily life in our little family on the island....

 This was the weekend I enjoyed most: crafting, blogging, making a whole list of my favorite things....

 I met Vancouver Sun when I first landed here in Canada and had kept me company on those "alone" times.

 Our Valentine's celebration was almost a week of eating chocolates and having dinner out of the ordinary.

 We must have broken the record: we never went out for dinner twice in a week but we did this week!

 But of course, his is always the best meal made ever. My honey makes the best homemade breakfast!

 Week8- whew! I made it and still enjoying this project. Funny, when you get started, you can't stop...

Is this a blurry photo or do I need my glasses? I think it's time to renew my prescription. My boss thinks I scare people away whenever he catches me squinting in front of the screen at work, very seriously...

 This is the weekend we visited "Top Bridge" the first time this year just for the sake of photo shooting.

 I'm a happier hoarder because I see pretty on junkies I hoard when I see this! I love photo sleeves!

And of course, Sunday is mom's day. Actually this was a Saturday at her place, but we seldom get get to visit together now since we got our own place. She would come for a coffee then goes to the gym with my honey, or just hang out with us for a while and catch up. Thanks mom and thank you to all the moms out there who always make sure that everything is alright. Until my next Project Life, hope you get the chance to visit your mom too, no matter what day of the week. ( I really think my photos are downloaded on a low resolution last night, I still see blur and this screen is clean. I'm finally awake with a sip of my 2nd cup so, oh well.)....

January PL in Full and more....

 Yes! I finally completed the four weeks. Yoo hoo!

 I did a collage of my Instagram photos as closing to my January...

 And here's my welcome page for February...

 I meant to do inserts like these in the middle of the week...

 I have yet to finish the ones for week 2 and three....

 I love my first week of  February layouts.

I had to document this as part of the photo a day challenge:

CREATIVITY TAKES COURAGE by Henri Matisse

I just had to remember that when in a rut,

keep going, keep the mojo going, keep the juice flowing.

JUST DO IT!

Thanks for your visit....

Project Life- Week1

JUst wanted to share my week 1 and week 2 is on its way. Still have to finish some photo printing and that will be on the way. So wanna look?

 So this is the back page where we left off last time...

just a photo right after we did the toast on New Year's eve with out friends.

It was our first New Year to celebrate it outside our home together.

For the inserts, I just printed my365 photos on a cardstock

as an overview of my first and a half week. I love that Jenni Bowlin day stamp

and it comes out so well with instagram photos using Tim Holts Distress ink.

 I'm so glad that I ordered more of these AM thickers @ SC!

 The back page.... with brief journaling like my365.

And this will be my first week and my little word...

 I got these journaling cards fr Peachy cheap which I will use till I run out!

 And this is our 1st Saturday of Jan in 2 spread,

which is all about our company's annual party...

and all the tidbits I hoarded at the party and the resort we stayed in.

I have the big poster of the party's announcement

as an insert which I haven't really finished.

I think I got carried away printing photos with my Polaroid here

but it's the process that matters. I am enjoying every bit of it

and as much as I can take photos, I will because I know,

that there will be times that life will get in the way.

Well, I guess that's it for now.

PS>There are these boxes laying all over when I got home

that my honey was showing me. Hmm, can you guess?

till tomorrow....

Project Life Begins!

Yoohoo!

Yes, I'm officially in and there's no stopping me. I'm usually good at starting projects but going through the project this morning, it hit me that this is my type of project.

Things I like about it:

1. Sleeves and different sizes of sleeves where I can just insert anything and call it done!

2. My polaroid printer helps a great deal! It might be too expensive but I get the photos done right away and I don't have to wait for days to have them printed in bulk. Thanx, hon!

3. I can even cut my 6*8 or 8*8 photos which I usually order when in good deals and fit them in the sleeves like Ms. KP's idea here. Thanks, Ms. Kelly. You are a big part of the motivation I am in right now and thank you for such a great idea!

4. I didn't get any kind of pp's as far as the kit but I ordered lots of sleeves and the Clementine album. I just want to go through my stash and maybe get more blades for my trimmer and get those going.

5. And yes! got my starting page done and 1st week is almost on its way + 2nd week in progress. Thank you for all the inspiration Ms. Becky Higgins. I get to see lots on your tweets and just full of ideas out there.

The lighting isn't that good in his office...

But it's done!

And here's one in progress.....

Be back for more soon....

Have a great weekend and happy scrapping me!



Sneak a peek on my project!

 Are you kidding me?! Project Life?! I can't believe it!!!

 And it's addictive...

 I can't stop myself...

 I love that I have all these pretty Amy's goodies...

But this is all for now, I will share the whole 1st week

once I get my photos done properly.

Right now, this is the state I'm in and I can't find anything!

I had to move to my honey's office to work peacefully.

Will be back once I get this all sorted out.

Specially with another SC box that just came in yesterday.

Peace....
