Hi and hello to everyone. Welcome once again to my blog! I hope you had a great weekend. Here is my Week 4 Project Life Challenge - Twine. You don't see a lot of pocketed scrapbooking using twine as I found out on Pintrest looking for ideas for something different. I did the
normal wrap around the cards but I also added a few of my own ideas for you. Last week I talked about how I choose my cards and this week I thought I would tell you how I choose my page protectors. First off whatever the page was the week before is obviously what I will use for half of this week but I chose the second page by either my mood or my cards and pictures. To start off I have purchased all the styles of page protectors you can get from Becky Higgins so that gives me a great many choices. I also printed out from her website a reference page of all these page protectors to make it easy for me to choose. If I by chance have any vertical pictures that week I will choose a page protector with vertical inserts. Then I go through my reference page and chose one that has a vertical insert. Also if I have a particular card I want to use will also determine page protector format. I just want you to understand that you do have choices on this though a lot of people choose to stick with Design A. Also each week I will put down which page protector I use so you will see the differences.
Thanks so much for looking at my blog again and for following me on this journey. I really appreciate it. :)

Hello and welcome to week 3 of my Project Life challenge - wood veneer. So sorry this took so long to get up but I was down sick with a really bad sore throat. It was horrible too. It hurt to swallow and talk and I lost my voice several times. On to the challenge. Wood veneers have become so big in the scrapbooking field right now and they work so great with Project Life.
They are just the right size for it. I put some sort of wood veneer I tried onto most of the cards in some form. You also may of noticed with my cards is unless it is a challenge and you will see some of these, I am really eclectic with the colors. I don't try to match too much. I just go for what I like right then. Most of my cards come from two kit clubs. I do, however, own over 10 Core Kits so I do have quite a collection to chose from. I just mix up my page protectors choose which cards I am going to use and get to work putting pics on them.
I hope you liked my challenge last week and I really hope you will join Week 3's challenge which will be up tomorrow. Thanks for looking at my blog and have a great week. :)
Here is my first challenge of the year! For this week my challenge to myself was to use some ribbon. I didn't want to just tie some ribbon on either. I wanted to use it in a creative way. So one of the cards already had some printed ribbon on it so I replicated it. It is on the above page 2nd row middle. I just covered over the printed stuff and made my own banners
with the ribbon. I just stapled on my ribbon. I also replicated the same thing on the 1st row farthest card on the right. I had a lot of fun doing this. I really like doing weekly challenges as it pulls yourself out of ruts. It keeps you from doing the same thing each week. This gives me a change in my style too. You can join me too if you would like. The challenges are open to everyone. Just leave a comment in the comment section with a link to your creation. Thanks so much for looking at my blog and I hope you have a great week!
