Project Life 4/15-4/21

I must be on a roll or maybe I would just like to be caught up with my project life. I had decided that I would finish this week on Sunday evening because I had nothing planned. This was going to be my evening and sadly I spent my evening and early, early morning in the ER. ( I'm ok, no worries.) But I did finally finish today. Yeah for me!

This week I had more mini events like a BBQ at a friends house, a mani pedi day with mom, and a lunch date with Travis so therefore I kept the back ground papers the same to help keep them together even though they are on either a 12 x 12 or 8.5 x 11 page protectors with other images.

Check it out for yourself!

This is my left side. The majority of what I used on this side was Dear Lizzy Neapolitan. I wanted to keep it light and whimsical because it was a fun back yard BBQ.

On my date card I used an older piece of Heidi Swapp paper. (But still so very cute with the light pink polka dots.) The big letter A is S.E.I letter coaster with Amy Tangerine letters finishing it the rest of April. I love how the coaster letter makes a huge impression, like I'm here, look at me! I guess your personality comes across in your work, huh?

Dear Lizzy was used on this card. I love all of her stickers and thought this would fit perfectly because we are were eating popsicles like children. You are only as young as you feel!

This is one of my best girls so I thought she deserved the Dear Lizzy you're so lovely ribbon sticker.

I love these Dear Lizzy pinwheels but I haven't used them because they were so large. Well, I made one work because they are so stinking cute! And I like how big it is, it makes a big impression! (Wink, wink!)

This is the front side of insert 1. I finished the top row with all Dear Lizzy products because it was the end of the BBQ pictures. But I finished the rest of the pockets with random products because they are random pictures through out my week.

A large Amy Tangerine sticker to fill an empty pocket.

This is the back side of insert 1.

This is Becky Higgins paper from her Amber Collection along with a Amy Tangerine brad. I love the sewing machine with the pop of yellow.

A large Amy Tangerine sticker fills another pocket.

Right side has a few mini events again. I guess I like to be crazy organized and have my pictures in order as they happened. I can't mix them up it will drive me crazy.

A lovely Heidi Swapp sequin heart starts the phrase for my love of the oldies. Walking on Sunshine is my favorite!

One of my Amy Tangerine die cuts to show that Mom and I had some pretty fun times at the nail shop on a Saturday afternoon.

These Heidi Swapp neon letters are fantastic. They are a little hard to put on pages because they are so thin but I love the neon. Makes a statement!

A Dear Lizzy sticker to show off how delectable our Cottage Cafe date was. The Cottage Cafe owner also owns Crumb de la Crumb which was featured on Food Network. Oh yeah, you bet we ate some delicious cake.

Can't wait to catch up on my last week of project life. I hate being behind and then hopefully I can start my art journal.

Project Life 4/8-4/14

This the first time I have ever uploaded my project life pages to my blog and to be honest this is the first time I have posted on my blog in a very long time.

I have worked so very hard on week of Easter that I had to post pictures to share all of my hard work. You see, not only did we have Easter with hunting Easter eggs, our church put on a Easter production which I received the privilege of being apart of and my 23rd birthday was Monday. There were a few other small events like me mom and I having a  shopping day at Archivers and Travis taking me on a late birthday dinner date. It was a fun but very busy week.

This is the right side which has our family Easter activities. I love being with family on holidays. It makes it much more festive.

We have a very two very special photographers in our church was so happy to shoot our Easter production and I am so very pleased with their work. They are the best photographers in Nashville.

I had to save one of our invite bracelets and put it in project life. We had been passing these bracelets out a month before Easter. It had Keep Your First Love on the front, which was the title of our production and our church website on the inside.

Just some more awesome photos from Easter!

Insert #3. My birthday was filled with many fun things. Like both my parents and my husband sent me gorgeous flowers.



My parents took me to J. Alexanders and gave me my awesome birthday present. My new Canon Camera.

Insert # 4. I had so save all of my birthday cards

Back side of insert # 5.

Insert #6. A very girlie lunch to celebrate two birthdays and the company of an out of towner. I knew from the atmosphere of the cafe that I wanted a vintage feel. I knew I wanted October Afternoon.

Back side of insert # 6.

I love the October Afternoon buttons. I love buttons!

Insert # 7. Mom and I made a special girls day of shopping to Archivers for their 43% off all embellishment sell. That was definitely a fun day!

Back side of insert # 7. This was a few highlights from the rest of the week. But I am working on getting a QR Code for a video of a co-worker singing me Happy Birthday. It is so funny it needs to be in project life.

Insert # 8. I only had a few photo left but they were apart of my week so I did a mini insert.

Back side of insert # 8. I love my strawberry bag. It was one of the highlights of that day.



Right Side.

My hubby took me out the Opryland Hotel to the restaurant that we went to the day after our wedding. Solario is a gourmet Mexican restaurant in one of the most gorgeous atriums. We had a lovely night walking around the hotel eating ice cream and watching an amazing water fountain show. If you are ever in Nashville Opryland Hotel is a must see place!

I normally do not have 7 inserts but this was a very fun and jam packed week. I wanted every fun moment in my project life. Life goes by so fast why wouldn't I want to remember every moment.



Travis and Ashleys Wedding Movie Preimere

Everything is a party to me because there is always something to celebrate! Saturday night we had a movie premiere party to showcase our wedding video. It took a while for us to receive our videos due to our extra photo shoots and the fact that it took us forever to choose songs to put them to. But we finally received them and we wanted to share them with our closest friends and family.

There were many laughs and a few tears while watching our wedding video. But everything was beautiful just as we remember. I do have to say tears did fill my eyes when we watched grandad climbed the stairs to pray over us. He was an amazing man of God and I am so glad Travis could see this dream of his grandfather there on our wedding day praying blessings on our life. Such an amazing joy!

 Some of the best parties are the easiest and the cheesiest ones and that is exactly what we were going for.

 These are our beautiful wedding DVD cases with our beautiful picture on it. Just gorgeous!

 All the food was what you would see at a movie theater; popcorn, boxed candy, and the amazing pretzels with salt and butter.

 This is the DVD menu and it is one of our favorite shots from our wedding. Our faces say just how happy we were.

 Travis' best man was the only person missing. Matt holds a very special place in our hearts, he truly is family in our eyes.

 Everybody hanging out and watching the next movie on the list, Elf. A staple in the Christmas movie department. Yes, in November Santa visits our house and fills it with Christmas decor.

I am so happy everyone was here to share this with us. And yes, all parents will receive a copy of our wedding video as soon as possible.

Girls Day!

Mom and I had a wonderful girls day on Thursday. We don't get to spend that much time together now that our work schedules are opposite but we definitely make up for lost time. I was reading the book "Something Borrowed" by Emily Giffin and wanting to see the movie. (I tried to finish the book before I saw the movie but it didn't happen but I did finish a few hours after the movie. It is a must read!) So mom and I planned a day for us to go and see it. But if course any girls day would not be complete if there wasn't lunch and shopping. So first things first, lunch at Buffalo Wild Wings. I know it doesn't sound all girly but dang it was good.
Our delicious boneless buffalo wings and french fries. Am I making anyone hungry? Our sauces consisted of Parmesan garlic, Asian zing, and the famous teriakyi. We thought we might have left overs for the guys but that theory went out the window as soon as those wings were on the table.


We went to the wonderful Target across the street because I wanted a certain floppy hat that my friend Kortney told me about at work. I found two hats that I loved but only choose one. Can you guess which I one I picked?

Hat A or...

Hat B?

I picked hat A. I love the colors and also the second one looked to floppy and covered what hair I have left. But I did decide that mom looked great in Hat B. But she disagreed. What do you think?

Here are the two goobers with the big hats are isle 10 who are taking pictures of everything! Who cares we were having fun!

And off to our movie we went. Mom brought the famous bucket she got roped into.

Isn't movie popcorn the best? It is so salty and buttery. Delicious! A movie is not a movie unless you have popcorn in your lap. Preferably in a bowl or a bucket!

This was a great movie and even a greater book. I hope you watch and read "Something Borrowed". It is a great story.
