Pages & Weeks...

Ok, so I've caught up on Project Life today and yes it's simple and yep I'm now keeping it this way, as looking back I prefer the pages where I've kept it simple. I've also photographed my latest 2 layouts (I have another on the go but 1/2 doesn't count)

You'll have to excuse the photos but as it got darker the photos got worse, but the layouts are away now and I don't want to pull them out again to try and get them better quality - after all I have the originals. lol

Pages first - can you tell I've been on a Boy spree?

This first one came together so quick it sat on my desk for quite a while until I convinced myself it was done....I love washi tape. :D

This one was done last week when crafting with a friend, I can't believe she's gone on holiday for 2 weeks, so I have to self motivate myself to get some more layouts done.

Right, that's my 2 layouts, now it's Project Life catchup:

Week 26 was a busy week, with both a Prom and a Birthday so an insert was included to showcase more photos.

 Week 27: Blog prizes, Duke of Ed, Brass Concerts, Cake and Volunteering.

Week 28: New Camera, meals out, Ice cream, painting for teacher and much more..

Week 29: Pool time fun (love the picframe app), water balloons, school fayres, getting followed on twitter.

Week 30: My nephews first tooth, the royal baby (well it's got to have a mention), play doh elephant, meal out and ice skating.

If you got to the end of this picture long post then well done. I'll try to keep more up to date and therefore not as picture heavy.

Weeks & Weeks...

Weeks and weeks of Project Life now. I've still got a few to catch up and hopefully the photos will be here tomorrow for them, then the plan is to keep up, but we'll see how that goes.

Week 22:

Card games, kids dumping stuff after school, meeting a band, work in the garden and pictures from Oz.

Week 23:

Painting faces with eye shadow, prom dress shopping, day trip out, birthday meals, alton towers, new bike, carnival day...whew, what a busy week this was. I was writing tiny to fit it all on.

Week 24:

Games in the garden, doing things to help others, meals out, bruised knee and many other things..

Week 25:

Crafting, Fathers day (insert included), views while out, resting in the sun etc.

More weeks to follow soon (I hope)

Pages & Pages

Here are some of my latest layouts. I do have a couple more to photograph and A LOT of project life to update you with, but one step at a time.

A few more recent pictures this time, well sort of. These are a couple of years old but seen as I'm up to 2007 on the kids albums it's recent.

Megan and her Nan had a pancake cook-off, and even though some didn't turn out great they all got eaten.

This layout I'm not so sure about, but it's done now so I must move on. Kate this year at her dance rehearsal.

I prefer this one of an impromptu shot I got while Kate was changing into her tap shoes at practice. A lot of mess was caused making this one, as it involved DIY thickers and glitter, but I love the effect.

It's Arrived!!!

Well it arrived a couple of weeks ago, but I'm a lazy blogger.

My prize from Scrapbookers Inner Circle mega giveaway.....the cinnamon edition of Project Life in all it's glory. I won the first prize to be announced on Becky Higgins blog and have been patiently waiting for it's release. It was an edition that's caught my eye since I first saw them.

Firstly I got a message from my boss at work: Is this yours? To which of course I said yes...I'll be there in a bit. - Trust it to arrive on my day off and at the end of it too.

Once I got the beauty home, I took a few this is what it looks like pictures....before opening. Then my first view.

After that it became, ooo's and ahhh's. Isn't it just lovely? The album is actually a brown which doesn't show well on the online pictures, and the details are gorgeous. Carys and I went through every single card and piece of paper commenting all the way through.

My plan for all this loveliness is to use it to document our trip to Australia later this year. I figure I can easily fill a double spread a day, which with memorabilia etc should make a nice fat album. I can't wait.

More blog posts coming up soon, as I have layouts to share and Project Life catch up, along with my last Australia trip.
