Scraplifter Designs - PROJECT Life - 365

I began this blog to document my POTD (picture of the day) for our Project Life album in 2010. In Sept. 2011 I had our first baby and I plan for her to have the most documented life possible. I have continued each year with Project Life, but also have expanded my blog to include layouts and other creations. Life has gotten busy, so I don't post as often as I used to, but am still determined to try. I would love to have you join me on our journey! Thank you for visiting!

New Layout - Feed Me

Happy Monday,

Is it wrong that I am already desperate for the weekend? I definitely have a case of the Monday's. I played last night with my new Distressed Oxides. It's not perfect, and I mixed up the order of the purples on accident, but it was still fun to create.

I played along with Paper Issues August sketch challenge.

I used the following colors of Ranger Distressed Oxides: wilted violet, picked raspberry, festive berries, carved pumpkin, mustard seed, mowed lawn, broken china, and seedless preserves. After applying the inks, I used a brush and splattered each color. I also added Jolees stickers, misc washi from my stash and a date stamp from Heidi Swapp.

New Layout - You're Changing Right Before my Eyes

Happy Saturday,

Another weekend is here. I'm sharing a layout I made of DD "helping" me open my mother's day present. She was so little!

I played along with a sketch from Paper Issues August challenge.

I also used my brand new Distressed Oxides and Nuvo drops that I ordered. I had so much fun playing with them. I used Scattered Straw, Evergreen Bough and Bard Door. These are so much fun to play with! I highly recommend picking up a few. I used Red Berry Crystal Nuvo drops. I used paper and stickers from a really old Cosmo Cricket line.

Have a wonderful weekend!

Thanks for visiting!

New Layout - Call of the Wild

Happy Thursday all my scrappy friends,

I'm sharing a layout today of DD on her 2nd birthday opening presents. I can't believe she was ever that young!

I played along with the August Paper Issues challenge "Let's Get Strip Faced". I used strips woven like a basket on the left.

I used a kit from Lickety Split Scrapbooks and added title thickers from American Crafts, Recollections, and Authentique. I also added stamps/ink from CTMH. Such cute detail on the flamingos!

Thanks for visiting!

New Layout - Elf Delivery

Happy day to all my scrappy friends,

I'm up today over at Lasting Memories as a Guest Designer August. This is my layout for their 4th monthly challenge. This month is all about special events. Their 4th challenge for the month #512 is Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa. I chose Christmas, and delivery of Christmas cheer to my office. Every year we make yummies to share with my co-workers. Maddie was so excited to dress up in her Elf Jammies for the delivery. She ended up getting candy from about half of the people we delivered to.

For this layout I used paper from Paper Pizazz, die-cuts from My Mind's Eye, tag from Scrap Your Trip, chipboard Scrapmatts painted wtih gold paint from Folk Art, 3D stickers from Jolee's boutique, letters from cocoadaisy and BasicGrey, stamps and ink from CTMH, and twine from The Twinery.

Thanks for visiting. Come over to Lasting Memories and play along!

Camp Paper Issues - #23 & #24 Summer Bliss

Happy Sunday again,

I'm so excited! I'm participating in the Paper Issues Camp this week and I'm determined to finish all the challenges. There are 25, so that's probably not realistic for me, but I'm still going to try! I'm on team Crazy Crafty Chicks.

This my #23 and #24 layout! The left side of this layout is for challenge #23 Sunrise HIke. I used my recent early morning biking photos of the sunrise.

The right side was created for challenge #24 Sew it Up. I stitched over the rays of sun.

I used a kit from CTMH and added stamps/ink from CTMH and Photo Play. I also added stitching from K&Company kit.

Camp Paper Issues - #21 & #22 Stormageddon

Happy Sunday again,

This my #21 and #22 layout! The left side of this layout is for challenge #21 Take a Breath. I left a ton of "white space" on this layout....something I never do. I also lifted this layout from my bestie Angie Foust! Thanks Ang.

The right side was created for challenge #22 Natural Disaster. This layout is on the torrential storm that hit last year and caused significant damage and long term power outtages.

I used paper from BasicGrey, lots of stamp/ink from CTMH, rubons from 7gypsies, and rain drops from Queen&Co.

Thanks for visiting!
