Project Life 2015 | Week 5
The dreary days of February are still here. Sigh. They get me every single year. But we've just started noticing that the sky is still light out around 6pm and that's almost something to celebrate! I'm dreaming about spring and summer and trying to talk my hubby into two getaways this summer – anything to… Read more

Creative Motivation
Finding creative inspiration is not hard to come by. I find myself inspired to create all the time. All.The.Freaking.Time. Instagram, Pinterest, Blogs, and Facebook – the wonderful designers that I follow constantly inspire me and give me creative ideas. But life doesn't always make that kind of time easy to find and, to be perfectly… Read more

Project Life 2014 | Weeks 17, 18, and Prom
I'm almost halfway done with 2014's Project Life album and I love to see it all coming together. Here's a few more pages. Week 17 brought Andrew's 5th-grade play – "Little Mermaid Jr." – and Andrew played the role of "King Triton." The neatest thing was that he was almost unrecognizable under his costume. The… Read more

Gratitude Album
I've been wanting to play with paper and get creative lately. A couple of weeks ago, I asked for advice with Themed Albums and got so many great ideas! For the most part, the suggestions were to stick with a gratitude album. I kept going back to that idea and finally decided that I'd take… Read more

Using digital kits in unexpected ways

One of my favorites was the Maggie Holmes Full Collection. The collection features pastels, florals, birds, butterflies, and… Read more

Project Life 2015 | Week 4
Every single time I sit down to create a layout, I'm so grateful for deciding to do this project again this year. I know it sounds like a broken record, but I'm thrilled to have these memories written down. 🙂 Week 4 – I used my standard Design A template and just a couple of… Read more

Add one more!
Add one more concert to the Year of the Concert! I found a presale code today and bought Andrew and me tickets to see Imagine Dragons!!! He doesn't even know it yet but he is going to be so excited! He cried when I told him that I would take him to see Maroon 5… Read more

Themed Album Ideas
Do you ever have the urge to create but feel totally stuck for ideas? It's so completely frustrating. I started the above album a few weeks ago and was so excited about it. It's a great little 6×8 Studio Calico handbook that I couldn't wait to use and so I started a gratitude album, with… Read more
