Project Life 4/22-4/28

This is the left side. I used the Design F in the variety pack from Becky Higgins. I felt like it took me a little longer than usual because I have to design more pockets but I love the variation.

I cut this little jar out from the Dear Lizzy Neapolitan line. I also cut out the cute little Polaroids from her 12x12 paper that I used on my date insert card.

I used my new Studio Calico stamp! I love this stamp!

I also used some of Amy Tangerine's sketchbook line die cute as well as her stickers

This is insert #1. I created a 8x10 photo is photo shop and made a collage of pictures crop to 2x2. It made for a very easy insert.

Here is the back side of insert #1. I used the extra space at the bottom to journal about the fun times we had at bunco. If you notice to the right I attached a flip pocket.

I wanted to keep my score sheet as a memento so I attached it to the 8x10 using the flip pocket.

Here is the right side.

I love this Amy Tangerine camera die cut. I have been waiting to use it on something fantastic because it is so stinking cute.

For the four 3x4 pockets I used all October Afternoon line to show that it was one fun event. I love the little duck.

I hope you enjoyed seeing my Project life stay tuned for the following week.



Beautiful Moon

I got this beautiful image tonight of the moon. It was right out side my back door in between to tall trees. In order to get the moon to come out with the color I did loose the trees but seeing the variety of color and dimension in the moon makes up for it.

I followed Katrina Kennedy on her blog post about taking pictures of the moon. I set the ISO to 100, the aperture to f8.0, and the shutter to 1/125. Even when I cropped the picture to get more of the moon I did not loose the definition of the moon.

Can't wait to try it again in 2017!

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

More Birthday cards. I must be really loved.

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.
