Stepping Out of My Comfort Zone

Have you heard of Project Life by Stampin' Up!? This product line was introduced in the Stampin' Up! 2014-2015 Annual Catalog. To sum it up, Project Life is memory-keeping made easy. It is made up of photos/memorabilia and journaling combined with Project Life accessories that slip into pockets. Fast, easy, and fun.

I am a classic scrapbooker. I love my scrapbooks. I enjoy working on them when I have time, but I don't have time. I have two very busy kids. I take tons of photos and I am embarrassed to admit how behind I am on their books. Years, lots of years. Sigh.

Cue, Project Life by Stampin' Up! It is time to step out of my comfort zone. I enjoy classic scrapbooking. I enjoy spending time working on cute page layouts and journaling stories for each photo. Reality has set in, I do not have time for my old school ways. I took the leap and ordered my new Project Life by Stampin' Up's products.

I am really excited to play with my new items. I have photos printed ready to go. I think I will enjoy this memory-keeping method!

Stay tuned! I will show you my final product soon. What do you do with your photos? Do you scrapbook, use Project Life or maybe make digital scrapbooks? I would love to know what method works for you.

Thanks for stopping by.

December Challenge: Brr! It's Cold!

Let's start December with a new challenge over at the My Pumpkin Challenge ! The last Paper Pumpkin kit was so adorable. I can't wait to see what everyone is making with it. The Challenge this month is Brr! It's cold. I live in Colorado and it is usually really cold and snowy this time of year. Yesterday the temperature was 60 degrees. My son wore shorts to school. It does not feel like December yet! It is weird to see Christmas lights hanging with no snow. I don't think snow is even in the forecast in Denver. But, in the spirit of winter here is my sample this week! p.s. I am not complaining about the warmth, just noting that it is odd. ;) I used one of the cute snowflake cards to make this hot cocoa treat. I cut one flap off the card (the end with half a snowflake). Then I used sticky tape to tape the sides of the remaining snowflake piece, to make a pocket for the hot cocoa packet. I stamped some snowflakes along the bottom and embellished the centers with rhi...

New! Wishes and Stars Challenge

Let's welcome August with a new challenge over at the My Pumpkin Challenge . The theme this month is " Wishes & Stars ." It totally fits the July Paper Pumpkin kit. I love the options they provided in this kit and all the products too. You still have time to sign up for your Paper Pumpkin kit and to take advantage of the great deal going on now. Here is my sample this week. I made a star border with the different size star shapes from the kit. I traced the star outlines first, cut around my pencil lines then adhered the stars. (I thought it would look cleaner that way instead of having to cut around the stars and get in the tight areas.) The front says Make a and the inside actually says WISH, but I left my camera at work so I will show you the inside tomorrow. Don't forget to stop by the My Pumpkin Challenge today to for more inspiration. We would love for you to share your creations too! Don't be shy, even if you do not have a blog you can participa...

Inspiration Everywhere

Who knew when I sat down to watch the Big Bang Theory it would inspire me to make a card! Well, that is what happened. Every Thursday, My Man and I have a ritual: we have a yummy dinner and then sit back and watch the Big Bang Theory. We love that show. It cracks us up and we all know that laughing is good for you! I love all of the characters, though Sheldon holds a special place in my heart........ Yes, that is My Man. We were at a comic book store and I could not resist taking this photo, and then take it one step further by turning it into a funny inspirational poster! (So glad he has a great sense of humor) My mom, dad, and sister love buying him the same t-shirts that the Sheldon character wears. Do you see the resemblence? Ok, back to my card. As I was watching the show last night, Sheldon was wearing a Rubix Cube t-shirt, and in one of the scenes you can see a Rubix Cube cookie jar in the background, hmmm........it got me thinking. This wo...
