Project Life ~ August 2015 (part3)

Even after all this time... I'm still mentally blog-challenged!  I've just found out (after 3 years) what a 'FAVICON' is... but can I get it to work?  That would be a NO!!!!!!!!

 

Frustration   ~   after watching 'youtube' my 'font of all knowledge' with the added bonus of a visual... I am still no closer to getting my favicon onto my blog (or anywhere else for that matter).  For those of you who don't know what a 'favicon' is... well tough luck 'cause even if I could explain it... my failure to produce one is a clear indication that I don't know what I'm talking about!

 

I'll just get on with something I do know about; draw a line under my epic fail; shrug my shoulders (whilst still thinking... perhaps I can do it, try something else, only to fail again!); pretend I don't care and move on.

 

PART 3...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I apologise for the poor quality photography... something else that is definitely NOT improving with age and experience!

 

But hey-ho...

...never mind!

 

 

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

 

 

 

Project Life ~ August 2015 (part 2)

...continued catch-up

I used the PL Speciality cards from the 'Be Fearless' Collection,

a mixture of browns, blacks and gold ~ gorgeous

 

...along with a few stash supplies

 

my photography leaves a lot to be desired ~ but you get the gist!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

...and there ends part 2!

 

The last couple of days have been pretty uneventful and (thankfully) drama-free, so I haven't got any amusing tales to tell, apart from ~ my mother has just informed me that she has "finally finished" her Christmas shopping for Christmas 2015 and has already started on 2016... WTF!  Not only that... but she spent the day with scissors and sellotape and has wrapped them all as well! Double WTF!!  There's organised and then there's just plain 'weird'!  Have you started/finished your Christmas shopping yet?  I know I haven't.

 

I'd like to send a special 'shout out'... to Kerry at For the Love of Paper, for having the consideration to always leave a comment, whenever she pays my humble blog a visit ~ thanks.  We all like to be acknowledged, cheers x

 

Coming Soon...

...part 3

 

 

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

 

Project Life ~ August 2015 (part 1)

I found this sheet of patterned paper in my stash the other day and decided to use it in my Project Life album (I'm a little behind!).

I need to catch up on my August layouts and this was the perfect paper to start with...

 

The paper is from Webster's Pages, 'These Are The Days' collection, designed by Megan Hoeppner.  I love the colours of black, blue and white with little pops of gold, so this is going to be my first page...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Apart from a couple of things from my stash ~ washi tape; a wood veneer arrow; a small acetate saying (Good Day); some punched vellum (from an envelope) and some sequins (from the £ shop), everything else was from that one piece of 12x12 patterned paper.

 

 

Coming Soon...

...the rest of August Project Life layouts

 

 

Happy Crafting Y'all

 

 

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

 

 

Alone Time

I'm home alone... oh, sometimes this is just heavenly!

 

No-one's calling my name or demanding my attention (I swear my children are more needy now than when they were younger ~ I expect to have my mother making demands... but not my 23 and 25 year olds!).  I'm not really moaning about them, they make life interesting after all.  But... it's nice to be just me, sometimes.

 

Me and my craftroom!

 

My mind is uncluttered today, which is reflected (I think) in todays scrapbook layout.  It's nice and simple with some embellies and layering, but still fairly straight forward.

 

The photograph is of my niece... beaming a broad smile after she'd finally managed to work loose her baby tooth...such a proud moment!

 

Again I'm using the LIKE FOR EVER August kit... 'Oh So Lovely' for this layout, all the papers are from the Crate Paper 'Wonder' Collection

The 'HELLO' die cut pieces are from the ephemera pack (popped up on some foam squares)

I'm loving these gold corrugated thickers... I wanted a play on the word 'GAPPY' so I crossed out the 'G' and added a 'H' to make 'HAPPY'

Tassels! Never really know how to adhere them... but the trusty stapler came in handy

The top embellie is just a punched circle from some patterned paper with an epoxy circle over the top, the middle one is from the chipboard element sheet and the bottom embellie is again a punched circle with some glitter washi and another (smaller) punched circle from the tassel packaging, a couple of staples and badda bing badda boom

A date is always good hahaha, even though I'd forgotten to change the year, so I had to correct the '2014' to '2015'... what a numpty!

Some faux stitching...

a few layers and some splatters of gold Heidi Swapp Color Shine...

 

and there we have it... another memory recorded!

 

May all your glue dots stay sticky!!!

 

 

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