SHARING... is caring

Some sharing...

Weeks 11 & 12 of project life...

Week 11 - page 1

Week 11 - page 2

Week 12 - page 1

Week 12 - page 2

 

I am still loving PROJECT LIFE, although I do forget to take my camera EVERYWHERE I go, so a lot of my photos are taken with my mobile phone (thank goodness it has a decent camera!).

 

I'm getting more relaxed with PL and mixing cards and manufacturers (and not stressing because it's not all perfect)!  So I'm enjoying it even more!

 

Week 11 (page 1) was fairly minimal, using mostly the JADE EDITION, on page 2, I also used a card from the 'MISC ME!' collection by BO BUNNY called 'Happy Tails -CAT' because I wanted to journal about my cat.

 

For Week 12 I used mostly the HONEY EDITION along with some more 'cat' cards.  I'm also still doing a 'week in review' card.

 

Now for some scrapbooking...

 

I've now broken into my latest SCRAPTASTIC (July 2014) kit... 'SUMMER NIGHTS', it is a lovely collection of summer themed papers and embellies, with some GREAT colours and patterns.  So my first and second layouts look like this...

 

Number One -

Now I really must go and do some work!

 

Blah... blah... blah...

 

Imagine that...

I've just found a great little online shop Imagine that... they've got a lovely sale on patterned papers at the moment, some are as cheap as 19p!  And I couldn't resist! 

 

 

(accurate. fast delivery)

 

... and they also added a little free stamps as a thank you, and I spent less than £10, consider me IMPRESSED!

 

 

Anyway, I've got a quick little card to share today... I'm running out of men's cards and wanted something 'spring-y' so out came my (very old) trusty Kanban kit for the topper and with a quick rummage into my scrap pile and the result is as follows...
