December Project Life

Here it is in all its glory, my complete December album. I didn't do this daily, instead I printed photos in batches and powered through with embellishing once we got back from Ohio. It was a lot of work but I love that its done.

I shot a (not so quick) video of myself flipping through the pages and talking about the design and other things. And if you're just interested in the photos, those are below. It's really photo heavy so I'll warn you in advance.

OLW 2014

I picked a word. Or maybe it picked me. I don't really know. I don't usually pick words because I never stick with them. But this one just wouldn't leave my mind once I thought of it, and I figure its a good point of focus for my year.

This year my one little word is open.

I had fun making this page using a Simple Scrappers sketch and the Studio Calico Antiquary kit that I picked up for cheap on the 2Peas For Sale or Trade Board.

I just joined Simple Scrappers and I'm so excited about it. I took Jennifer's Art + Science class at BPC and just loved her organized teaching style. She has me excited to play this year. You might just
consider joining in.

Oh and if you're wondering about my December album, I decided I want to film a quick video talking through the pages. So much easier than writing it all out. Look for that in the next few days!

cheers & besos,

Happy New Year all! I hope you had a lovely NYE. Mine was a quiet night with an absolutely amazing dinner. MT and I got all dressed up and ate ourselves into a coma. We took some great photos...that I haven't even uploaded to my computer yet. But I'll get to them eventually.

Meanwhile, I've been crafting up a storm but haven't been able to finish anything until today. My December album, yeah that's done. It's in the book! I'm in the process of editing all those photos for the blog. But in the meantime, I wanted to share a page I made today. I came up with this idea just yesterday. And I love how it came out!

If you don't know Gilmore Girls, then you don't know that Lorelai Gilmore is enamored with snow. We share this. Growing up in Texas, I haven't had much opportunity to see it. So anytime I do, it's a big deal. Matt snapped these photos of me when we were at his parents in Ohio last week.

That fabulous blue hat (got it for Christmas this year) really makes these photos pop! So blue is where I took this page. I pulled out blue and silver stuff and used paint, paper, glitter tape, glitter and a doily to back the Silhouette cut I created.

I'm fabulously happy with my first page of the year. It's really and came together so quickly. Just love it when that happens, don't you?

cheers & besos,
