Project Life 2013: Week 11

Good Morning all. I have a project life spread for you today. This is Week 11, this one sat on my desk for a few days before I finally got a chance to finished it. It came together really quick, but got held up with the week card and typing up the week in review card. Now this 2 page spread is from March 11-16, 2013. March 17 will be a page on it's own we had our annual Easter Egg Hunt.
Here is the 2 page spread:

Lots of things happening this week including the choosing of a new Pope thought it was best to add that too. When I was doing this week there was also a challenge over at Two Peas in a Bucket to use vellum so I had included that in 2 spots on the layout also. I used Simple Stories Documented papers through out the spread except for the one green piece that I had gotten in a swap, with filling the plastic eggs up and Buddy's main picture gave it a nice pop of color.
Left Side:

This side included the week card and a weekly review card. Card I made for my grandson Bradley's birthday, you can find the details on the card here. Buddy and his squirrel, birds in the feeder, Jake in his dog house and National Potato Chip day.

Right Side:

This side included the new Pope, Dave helping out a neighbor and what we did on Saturday the 16th.

A closer look to the picture of Buddy so proud of him that day, but he seemed to be humble about it. Also a swap box I got together for a swap and the goodies I put on the outside of it.

Ah my favorite chip had to get a bag and a picture for National Potato Chip Day

A little bit on the new Pope and the vellum that I added to the page that I found on a vellum sheet of quotes. First time I think I used staples to attach something.

Dave helping our neighbor clean up her grape vines, makes her yard look good and not an eyesore for us to see. Of course Dave's shadow is right behind him our Buddy dog.

Saturday the 16th took over the rest of the page, I included a block that was going around face book about 3/16 and the reference to John 3:16 one of my favorite passages. Our trip to Surplus Outlet to get more candy for the hunt on Sunday, we got caught in a snow storm going and coming out of the store. The bags of candy and us filling them. Also the movie we saw Saturday night-Battleship-love Netflix for the monthly subscription home delivery to be able to see all the movies that we haven't had a chance to see yet at a decent price.

If your thinking where's Sunday well it's a bit hard to just choose 1, 2 even 5 photos from that day, our 2nd annual Easter Egg hunt with the Grand-kids, but had some fun with the kids too, so there will be an insert coming yet for that day to include in the week.

Thanks for stopping by today, I'm slowly getting the year done and enjoying the process of Project Life. look forward to getting into spring in the next week's spread my favorite season. I hope your enjoying your Project Life too....

Project Life 2013: Week 10

Good Morning all. I have a project life spread for you today. This is Week 10, slowly advancing but sticking right with it, just need a bit of me time to catch up. Week 10 was just a week of the everyday stuff and a glimpse into spring.
Here is the 2 page spread:

This week was so jammed packed that I didn't do a week in review but the highlights of the week are mentioned throughout the spread. When I was doing this week there was also a challenge over at Two Peas in a Bucket to use frames so I had included 2 of those in the layout also. I used Simple Stories Documented papers through out the spread
Left Side:

This side included the week card, update on my finger and a new cereal I tried (very good). Smash page, color and cut using a frame from making memories 5th Avenue die-cuts, a cute happy chart to tag up with the happy mail.  A before and after picture of the lighting going up for the plants to grow.

Right side:

Thursday night was a full night of TV shows and one of my favorites was celebrating 500th musical performance so I got the clipping about it out of the TV guide. Bible study and crafting was a big part of the week. Jake our older dog enjoying the heat for the cook-stove. Included a little Friday night fun on facebook with one of the groups I belong too. Saturday was a gorgeous day, the weather was nice enough to hang laundry out and did some cleaning with a playlist of albums that I was listening to and the bible study for that particular day was very overpowering and I included that. Sunday did some blog posting, did a smash page and worked on PL.
It was a beautiful week with highs in the upper 50s and low 60s for the first full week of March and framed a picture of the crocus popping up out front (framed with making memories Glitter Clears glitter pieces).
Some close ups:

Project Life 2013: Week 9

Good Morning all. I have a project life spread for you today. This is Week 9, week 9 consisted of a couple of huge events and the everyday stuff.
Here is the 2 page spread:

Left side:

The week in review I put on the week card cause there were so many pictures this spread. Monday night I smashed my finger oh what a way to start out the week. I wasn't paying attention when closing up the garage door for the hubs and my finger was in one of gaps and didn't feel it till it was just about closed. Started to panic but drew out of it to concentrate on opening the door back up to get my finger out. Also did a smash page that morning before going into work you can find the details here about this page. Tuesday was random shot of big pile of laundry needing folded. Wednesday Bible Study Fellowship went really well today and while eating lunch a heck of a snow storm came in so got a picture of the snow on Jake.
 Right Side:

 Thursday they were laying new rails down on the railroad track in front of the house so got some pictures of that. Friday was the first day of March and I made a March card to separate the months. Loving the calender my hubby got me for Christmas cause I've been using it throughout project life it works for certain situations once in awhile. March 1st was also Peanut Butters Lover's Day and I stopped and got a few snacks for the day. I love peanut butter! Choose the collection that I was gonna use in Project life and added that to the page. Saturday worked on banking and got the checkbooks caught up (weekly thing a random shot). Sunday was a good day, purge is the word for the year so got Dave to help me work of getting the bedroom closet cleaned out.  Lots of reminiscing while doing it. The mini-series the Bible started too today, loved the first episode didn't agree with a couple of things from my reading but I enjoyed watching it.
Some close ups:

Now this was a fun find in my about the author of Oz and thought it worked out with the closet purge cause of some of the stuff got to American Rescue Workers (a local goodwill store). It says: A Marvel-ous Coincidence: A coat purchased at a used-clothing store for Professor Marvel's costume in the Wizard of Oz was found to have originally belonged to Oz's author, L. Frank Baum.

Project Life 2013: Week 8

Hi you all, here is Week 8:

Week 8: February 18-24, 2013: this week brought a couple of first for me. First insert added and first cut using my Cameo. We make do with what we have and that is shown this week and 2 special events included in the week.
Left Side:

Consisted of Monday night canning the Pasta and Pizza sauce we made. Tuesday I repaired some pants and hemmed a pair too. Wednesday I got some fantastic happy mail, got my swap box from my swap partner-Vicki. We are in the Cricut Card Exchange group on face book and the group does a swap every couple of months. It's fun to receive a box of goodies in the mail from someone else that knows scrapbooking/cardmaking.
Right Side

Consisted of my favorite morning show Good Morning America-Wednesday was the first day back for Robin Roberts since she left for her surgery. It was great to have the team back and so good to see Robin. With that I added a Get-Glue sticker I got way back when I first started get glue. Thursday a typical winter night; Dave and Buddy playing. Friday night I did up my layout of what I thought would look good on the club trailer for the meeting on Saturday. Saturday we went to Gettysburg for the MGCA meeting and Sunday was our youngest grandchild's baptism. It was a good week.
First for me: Added insert for inbetween the 2-page spread:

 This is the front side I guess is the best way to call it. This side has the booklet we got at the church for Zachary's baptism. A collage of the restaurant that we ate at in Gettysburg and where we had the Board meeting. The other pictures were from what we saw on the way to the meeting, the gps was nice enough to take us up through the one road that takes you through the battlefield so that was cool to see along the way. We also passed the train station that Lincoln was at and a random shot of a cool building I saw.
The back side:

 Snapshots of an auto/walking tour that we took of the battlefield. After the meeting, we decided to check out the Battlefield a bit before heading back home and it was just a bit but took an hour, there is so much to see and will need to get there another day for that.The picture of the star statute is one of the PA memorials, I was thinking it was the one that pertained to my ancestor-Charles Baker that was in the war and that infantry (still need to check on that).
Some up close shots:

 The canning jar was cut on my cameo, I thought it was fitting for a journaling block.

 A collage of getting to the meeting and seeing the conference center-the place that was chose for the 2015 MMCI Winter Convention that we are hosting.

Zachary's Baptism

This was a cool week to do and I had lots of fun doing it. I was glad to see all the project life inspiration out there in blogland and on facebook to help me figure out about how I wanted to do the insert. I also have figured out that if I keep my 2 page spread out on my craft desk that when I have a few minutes I can come in and do something with it and it makes go smoother for me than to sit in one session doing it. Should be caught up real soon now, just about finished with week 9 as I typing up this post. Thanks for stopping by today and seeing the view from my little corner of the world.

Project Life 2013: Week 7

Hi you all, slowing but surely I'm moving forward on Project Life. Getting closer to having 2 months completed. Here is week #7:

Week 7: February 11-17, 2013, Consisted of being sick and Valentine's Day all in the same week.
Left Side:

 Consisted of a Week card block that stated both parts of the week, I was so sick on Monday that I never took a picture, so I found a really fun cartoon online of being sick and stayed home avoiding any one. Tuesday I was asked to come in so this is the way I felt trying to work. Wednesday I finished up my taxes for the appointment that night. Worked on it off and on (still sick). Found out that I made to much money so I owed in.
Right Side:

Started off with the 14th, so I got pictures of our cards, see we celebrate loving each other everyday so we don't do anything huge for Valentine's Day, but I love to make the hubby a card and he got me the cutest card this year. Added a few fill in cards and a picture of the valentine that we got from our youngest grandchild, it was so cute! Saturday tried to do some cleaning and Sunday I did a 2-page layout for Creative Cutting Challenge blog for that week's particular assignment. Since I was sick most f the week I got mine in a bit later than what I wanted.
Some up close shots:

 This shows that really cute cartoon and part of my week in review. I also added the little note I got from Barb my leaded for BSF with my notes this week.

 I found a really cool sticker pack that has a variety of items about work and about coffee and Tuesday and Wednesday pictures worked perfect for some of the stickers so they were a fun addition.

This week's spread was fun to do, I enjoyed changing it up a bit and used the Colorbok paper pad for the left side and My Mind's Eye: 6X6 A Happy Heart for the rights side which was most fitting for that part of the week.
Coming to find out that if you choose just one paper pack to work with, you can get alot of pieces for PL out of it, more than what I want to use through out. So when I hit spring I'll probably change to another paper line for a bit and use the left over cuts for front of cards or maybe I'll have a blog candy drawing with the left overs. Stay tuned to see, got at least 4 more weeks of spreads till I get to spring.

Thanks for stopping by toady and seeing the view from my little corner of the world......

Project Life 2013: Week 6

Hi you all, hope you had a fantastic day yesterday, we sure did!
Yes up to week 6, I followed the challenge for this week with from 2 Peas in a Pod, two Saturday's ago: the challenge was to use 6 X 6 pads. These pads seem to work well with project life with the smaller designs.

I used My Mind's Eye 6 X 6 paper pads: Lost & Found and Every Day Flair. I wanted to get away from the Documented pallet for a bit-with all the creativeness going on this week I decided to change it up a bit.
Left side:

The pictures consisted of a cool bird came into the feeder and I got a good shot of him and my husband's calendar page seem to fit for added interest to the picture. Progression of a vertical album I've been working on and a swap from another smasher, Kim, I got the brown Nostalgia Smash book this is such a cool one for all those old pics.
Right Side:

The pictures on this side is of a new tire I got because Wednesday I had one going flat, pumped it up and the next day it was right back down again so thought best to get a new tire. Yay, more snow (with a sarcasm attitude) not my fav weather. A random shot of Buddy and some composition books I did for Cricut Card Exchange swap group. Saturday I worked on cuts for 2 swap groups and Sunday needed to work on my 2012 taxes for my business for tax appointment coming up. Sooner or later I'll learn not to procrastinate when it comes to my business paper work.
Some up close shots:

 Used thickers this week on the date block, used a spot from my calender about creativity for one of the pictures of the vertical album.

Found some cool journal blocks in my stash and got a couple of them scanned into PE and was able to add the text to give it a cleaner look and then printing it out. Used a cute snowman rub-on. Added the Week in Review cards with some washi tape to decorate them.
It was alot of fun putting this spread together and it was nice to get away from the document pallet for a bit.

Project Life 2013: Week 5

I'd like to start my post today with sympathies and prayers for the people in the storm areas, so much devastation, so many lost lives especially the children in Oklahoma my heart goes out to you all today. Prayers for strength, rebuild and many blessings.

Big news first: I got a Silhouette Cameo! Woot Woot! It arrived yesterday and I plan to check it out over the next few days to see what it can do. I seen so many cool cuts from other project lifers that I can't wait to do some myself.

I had a very crafty weekend, got week 5 done and week 6 and 7 too. But today I'll just show you Week 5 and the rest will follow over the next week or 2.
The left side:The end of January

The right side:The beginning of February

Some close-up shots:

Weekly block includes a cricut cut I found on one of the cartridges and cut a while back.

Couple of pics taken of our birdfeeder, something I enjoy in the morning while drinking coffee is see the birds coming into to the feeder. I included a Get Glue sticker of a movie I watched Wednesday night and during that day my project life photo pages arrived, now I can get started with PL.

A special moment with Grandpa, Dave gave Zach a harmonica to entertain himself while we were visiting with Brad and Zach. It was so much fun and got a video too of the precious moment.

 Added strips of the calendar page for the beginning of February it was fitting for the 2nd day of February and the groundhog prediction. Saturday tried a new recipe, looks like it went over well and the inclusion some of the details of the Super Bowl Sunday (my team didn't win)

Sunday was a full day: We processed Spaghetti and Pizza sauce, a female Red-bellied Woodpecker came into the feeder, this is the only time I seen her in and got a picture. The Monday of this week I got a shot of the male bird. Got through 3 videos of the Vertical Bag series which you can find the first video here at Ginger's youtube spot

I did this Friday night-took 5 hours to do the complete week, all hand journaling too. It was a fun week to do.
