Project Life 2014 - Week 10


Geez, it seems so long ago that I finished this layout but I'm only just getting around to posting it now...  Okay, I get it...  I've been slack! LOL  So let's get to it shall we?


For this week I used the February Studio Calico Sugar Rush Project Life kit.  What a lovely kit yet again that made the layout very simple to put together.

Of course I had fun playing with my Close To My Heart Flip Flaps again.  I could honestly use them in every layout and funnily enough, I think that I HAVE on every page this year.

I really love the photos of the boys playing football at the park.  I wanted to include them all so used PicFrame to put three photos into each 4x6".  I saved them to my Photostream on my phone, opened them up in iScrapbook on my iMac and added some Ali Edwards digital words to the bottom of each pic before printing them.




So there you have it, my Week 10 finally blogged and in my album.  I'm almost finished my Week 8 and working on Weeks 9 and 20 simultaneously...  Sometimes I enjoy doing a few at a time as it keeps things interesting and  I find I knock more out, the more I have on the go.

But for now it's back to watching Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen with my Mr 8 (he's slightly obsessed with them and has been since he was 2).  While I watch it with him tonight for the billionth time, I'm taking a peek and having a little play with the amazingly gorgeous Polly!Scraps Pocket Life kit that I just received; it really is soooooo cute!!!  Can't wait to create with it.

Happy Saturday night

Working on a mini album...

This week I have been cRaZy busy so I've decided to work on something a little different. Something nice and quick and relatively easy.  A project that is simple and doesn't take much effort is perfect for me to fit in between all the running around I had planned.

I'm using Close To My Heart Skylark range which you can check out and purchase here.

For the binding I used my newest little gadget that I got for Mother's Day, my Zutter Bind It All from CraftOnline...  OMG I love that little machine.

The little rosette I made by hand following a YouTube video tutorial.  I didn't have any flowers that were in the colour I was after so I just decided to make my own using matching papers.  I can't find the original video I watched however, there are literally tons available.

I will be back with more photos of the finished album later sometime next week, but here's a sneak peek of the front cover...

Wishing you all a happy Friday...  YAY it's almost the weekend WHOO HOO!!!
