Project Life update.

Project Life 

If you have been to my blog around the beginning of the year, you know I had intentions to do a Project Life album.  I don't know about you but I always have good intentions to do something (especially around the beginning of a new year) that don't always work out.  I took some pictures here and there but not regularly (with the exception of Disney and I have too many from that, lol) Anyway, here it is the beginning of April and I have not done ANYTHING with project life except upload some pictures from my phone to my computer. Notice I didn't say to be printed but at least they made it to my computer right?  Well that is about to change. With the introduction of Stampin' Up!'s This and That line, it made my renew my goal of completing a project life album this year.  At the moment I am not using all SU products, that may change when I see what all they have in the new IBC, but for now I am using a mixture of SU and a project life core kit. The kit I bought came with an album and it's cute but I prefer the crumb cake linen album I bought from SU for it so I am keeping it for this years album.  I am using the project life protectors as well as the SU divided page protectors because they give me some different layout options so I won't get bored with the same layout over and over.  And the new Rotary Stamp from Stampin' Up! will work wonderfully with this project!!!  The kit arrived in the mail yesterday and after the boys track meet I opened it and got busy uploading my photos to Walmart but that has been it so far.  The photos will get picked up this evening and I hope to show you all a cute layout or two by tomorrow evening! 

Another Sneak Peek item!

To say I am excited about these products is an understatement!  If you have been reading my blog, I have wanted to start a project life album this year. Part of my problems were I wanted to use only SU products so that I could show them on my blog and I am using the album and divided protectors but many other items are not SU. NOW I CAN USE STAMPIN' UP! ITEMS!!  I am super excited about the rotary date stamp and washi tapes. The fact that we can order these new catalog items early and at a bundled discount just makes it that much better!!

Garden Stakes

These are garden stakes made with aluminum flashing and the big shot. I took these to the quarter auction on Saturday.

Friendship

This was one of our cards we made at my Sale-a-bration Celebration on Tuesday evening!

Very cute and quick card that went together very easily. Uses the great From My heart Stamp set, and some cute framelits and new papers from the Print Poetry designer papers stack in the Spring catalog. This card design came from a lady on a group I belong to called Sudsol. If you are a Stampin' Up! demo, I highly suggest you join this group! They are phenomenal at answering questions quickly and helping with business ideas. 

If you would like to attend a class check out my calendar on the right side of my blog for upcoming classes. An April schedule will be posted very soon. Also, I am going to be adding a Card Buffet to my line up.

Easter cross card

This is one of the cards we made at Friday nights Spring Card class. 

I case'd this card from a couple different cards actually.  I got the idea for the cross using the gorgeous flower trim in the spring catalog from here. It looks as though she overlapped her flowers in the middle but I cut two strips of three flowers to make a "t" then added another flower to the top so my cross was a tad flatter. Not that these flowers are flat at all! The card design itself came from another Late Night Stampers blog Lisa Kmiec. Hers has beautiful butterflies on it and I can guarantee an almost exact case will be coming as well. I love that card. 

If you wish to purchase any products used on any of my cards you can order online 24/7 

Altered New testament

I have been really busy this week and have not been great at updating my blog. Not only have I had two classes that I had to prepare for (cards from those will be on here this week!) I have been trying to get ready for a vendor fair/quarter auction this coming weekend.  I have really only done holiday craft shows before so they were mostly Christmas themed items and didn't really know what to make for a spring one. The first thing I had made was the altered jr legal pads , and then I made some of these covered new testament Bibles. I thought they would make cute Easter basket gifts. I used some new and some retired DSP on these, along with saying from the Trust God stamp set. 

Can you tell me what this is??

I thought this card was pretty obvious but when asking some family members only one got it right without me telling. So can you tell me what this is supposed to be???

I got the card idea from here, thought this video was pretty funny, lol
