Back into the groove of scrapbooking, so excited! This layout documents 4th of July week. It rained on July 4th so we weren't able to do any fun activities. So we stayed home and had family come over. Also during that week I finished the book Scary Close what a great book and it's the best book I read this summer. 

For this layout, I really loved using the adventure awaits card. It's perfect for this layout because I just got my driver's permit!!

For the supplies I used, Far Far Away PL kit and Bluegrass Farm PL kit.

I have been horrible at blogging lately! Life has been so busy I feel like I am running a race that never stops. This summer I have been working at my summer job and also preparing for college it's only a month away! How did time go by that fast? It seems like only yesterday I was applying for college and studying for the ACT. 

Since I have been so busy scrapbooking has been put on the back burner, to my disappointment. I plan on catching up over the weekend, I so miss scrapbooking. Anyway for this layout I documented the start of summer going to a book club, listening to Hillsong United, and loving the fresh peonies that graced my nightstand (how I miss them!)

The cards that I used were from the Lisse Street Project Life kit and I also loved the stripe card from the Spring Card set. These colors are ones that I normally don't use but I really liked the way it looked. 

For the supplies I used, Lisse Street PL Kit, Spring card set, Cirque SB kit, and Studio Calico Penny Arcade kit.

I am little bit behind in posting my Project Life spreads, been so busy and tired. I want to get all caught up with my Project Life, I keep telling myself I am doing the best I can. Anyway this spread documents me teaching a class for Big Picture Classes. I also used a new to me page protector from Studio Calico that has slots for two 4x6 photos. I believe this is my second time using this type of design and I am starting to like it.  It's called page protector #3.

Loved using a Project Life card from Crate Paper's line Notes and Things. This line is one of my favorites from Crate Paper, but to be honest I like anything they put out! :)

For the supplies I used, Lisse Street SB kit, Studio Calico Brighton Pier paper pad, Walden paper pad, Notes and Things journaling cardsand Craft Market 6x6 paper pad.

This layout includes a lot of text, which is great. But it's something I don't do that often. For this spread I had so many things to say and include and I didn't want to leave anything out. On the left I summarized my last 4 years of highschool and also wrote has fast the whole journey was. It's amazing to see how far I've come in just 4 short years.

I found this quote on Pinterest and when I saw it I knew I needed to add it one of my scrapbooking layouts. If there was ever a quote that described me I belive this is the one. So it fit perfectly above my senior picture. :)

For the supplies I used, Maggie Holmes paper, Walden SB kit, and Penny Arcade SB kit. 

big picture classes: pocket prompts | 05

I still can't believe I am writing this, I taught a class at Big Picture Classes!! Never in a million years did I think this would happen! A couple months ago Big Picture Classes contacted me and asked if I would be up to teach a class about my Project Life process. I was so honored that they would ask me and I am excited to share with you 5 photo and journaling prompts and also my Project Life process. 

If you are interested in taking this class you can find it here. If you haven't before you can sign up for a 2 week free membership and you can do that here. I hope to see you in the classroom! Also if you have any question please leave a comment and I'll be happy to answer them!

This is one of my favorite spreads because it documents my sister and I but also my senior picture!! It's still surreal for me to think that I graduated high school and will be moving on to college. :) Anyway back to the spread, my sister took my grad picture in a meadow near our home. It was fun to take pictures and chat while doing it. Ever since 8th grade, I have been thinking about my senior pictures and now I can't believe I just got them done last week!

Loved using the Home where I am planted card from Studio Calico. It's actually chipboard which it's pretty neat! 

For the supplies I used, Lisse Street SB kit, Walden paper pad, Penny Arcade SB kit, Maggie Holmes paper, Maggie Holmes flowers, and Maggie Holmes ephemera pack.

This week I have been scrapbooking like crazy, I am trying to get all caught up on my pages. I am almost there! As I have mentioned before we recently moved so we are getting familiar with the area. On Saturday we went to for ice-cream and also that day heard that American Pharaoh won the Belmont Stakes so he is the Triple Crown winner. When I hear that news I knew I wanted to add that special event into my scrapbook pages.

Loved using some cards from the Dear Lizzy Fine and Dandy kit. It's such a fun and bright kit!

For the supplies I used, Penny Arcade SB kit, Penny Arcade PL kit, Lisse Street SB kit, Cirque PL kit, Dear Lizzy Fine and Dandy paper, Maggie Holmes Open Book flowers, Dear Lizzy Fine and Dandy PL kit, and Walden Paper Pad.

I have been reading a lot lately! It's so good to sit at the end of the day and read. Recently i just finished the Notebook, My Mother the Cheerleader, and the Night Circus. I really enjoyed the Night Circus, it's not a book that I normally read but still really good. Now I am going to start What I saw and How I Lied. Also when I am not reading I have been knitting and listening to music especially One Direction. :)

For this spread I loved using these thickers. They are my favorite and make a bold statement on your pages. Also they are gold foil, which makes it even better!

For the supplies I used, Dear Lizzy thickers, Park Ave. SB kit, Penny Arcade SB kit, Lisse Street PL kit, and Maggie Holmes Style Board.

It's been awhile since I have posted anything! My family and I recently just moved so I haven't been scrapbooking. It was so awesome to finally open up my scrapbooking supplies and place pictures and cards into the pockets.

Anyway this spread is about my trip to NYC. I absolutely adore the city so every time I go it's always so thrilling. On this trip my sister and I went with some friends of ours. Also if you are ever in the city I recommend going to the Brooklyn Piers, the views are stunning and you can see for miles (on a clear day.)

I have been wanting to use this city paper for awhile now (it's from the Park Avenue SC kits.) I believe it works great for a city spread. Also isn't that postcard cute?

For the supplies I used, Park Avenue PL kit, Park Avenue SB kit, Piccadilly kit, Lisse Street SB kit, Odyssey SB kit, Walden PL kit, Walden SB kit, and Color Theory Sunny Day.

Last week we went to a nursery in Long Island. The day we went it was really warm so we all were very hot as we walked through the nursery. In the gardens, I was so happy to see some succulents, they are so pretty! For me and all the girls, the best part of the day was when we went to go get ice-cream! 

I have been wanting to use this chocolate card for awhile. So it fits perfectly next to my swirl ice-cream picture. I really do love soft-serve!

For the supplies I used, Easter Card Set, Walden PL kit, Far Far Away PL kit, Cirque SB kit, and Notes and Things journaling cards.

I love using Project Life! It's so much fun to document these fun moments with friends and family. So in April, we went to the Belmont and go to tour the facility. It was really fun! I especially loved standing in the starting gate and watching the horses warm up. 

Really simple scrapbook spread, but simple is sometimes the best! Loved using these diamond stickers from the Walden PL kit. Even though they are kind of fallish, they work nicely with this spread.

For this spread I used, Walden PL kit, Cirque SB kit, Walden paper pad, Martha Stewart Beach Glass paint, Easter Card set, Park Avenue PL kit, and Bluegrass Farm PL kit.

2 weeks ago we went to NYC! I have been wanting to go to the city for a very long time! It was fun to go there with our 4-H friends. We walked on the High Line, saw the Flat Iron, and also went to Chelsea Market.  If you are ever in the city I would recommend walking on the Highline. It's a old train track that has been remolded into a walkway. 

On the High Line, there was a beautiful mural of the Sailor's kiss. The color's are just the best and it's one of my favorite murals ever! 

For the supplies I used, Far Far Away SB kit. Park Avenue PL kit, Mirror Mirror PL kit, and Laura Rahel Designs.

This week I am challenging myself to do things in my scrapbooking that I normally don't do (a couple of days ago I used orange/yellow you can find that layout here.) I normally don't use many bright colors like hot pink. But sometimes it's good to challenge yourself. I am happy with how the spread turned out, even though I used colors that I don't ordinarily use. 

Since I love to read, I really enjoyed the book review card from Cirque PL kit. It was fun to look back and read why I really loved the Berlin Boxing Club. (Also if you haven't read that book, I totally recommend it!)

For the supplies, I used Cirque PL kit, Mirror, Mirror PL kit, and Currents Card set. 

project life 2015| april 08.

For this week's spreads, I am going out of my comfort zone and using colors that I don't ordinarily use. Orange and yellow are two colors that I don't use very often. I really enjoy trying to get out of my comfort zone, it's kind of fun to do things you never thought you would do! 

I enjoyed documenting my mornings a couple of weeks ago. In my room, I have a ledge where I store my hope cups. It's such a great reminder to wake up to each morning.

For the supplies I used, Cirque PL kit, Cinco De Mayo/ Party set, Making Things Happen journaling cards, Walden paper pad, am/pm kit, and Ashley Goldberg love sentiments stamp.

I loved working with these small 2x2 pockets! It's fun adding pictures and small embellishments to make this spread pop! I finished my sweater last week, so of course I wanted to document it. I used a few pictures that my sister took outside. To read more details about my sweater click here. 

Adding the book pages into this spread was the best. I like the look of the different pieces of paper on the white page.

For the supplies, I used Lisse Street SB kit, Odyssey SB kit, Magic Carpet, Ivy Tower kit, Sugar Rush PL kit, Dear Lizzy gold foil letter stickers, Mirror Mirror PL kit, Crate Paper pad, and Crate Paper Kiss Kiss

This was such a fun spread to make. A couple of weeks ago my sister, a friend, and I saw the movie Cinderella. It was so good! I loved it! Anyway I really like the quote in the movie, that said "Have courage and be kind." Unfortunately I wasn't able to write the whole things so instead I used these letter stickers to write be kind. 

I loved placing so many cute embellishments into the 2x2 squares. I especially love the picture of Olaf because during the commercials they showed Frozen Fever. It was an adorable clip and preview!

For the supplies I used, Ivy Tower, Magic Carpet, Cirque PL kit, Ringmaster, Far Far Away PL kit, Brighton Pier paper, Walden SB kit, Maggie Holmes Open Book flowers, Heidi Swapp Gold Foil PL kit, Sugar Rush PL kit, Laura Rahel designs, and Far Far Away SB kit.

Sometimes bad days have to be recorded also. The left spread was a bad day! But I survived and thankfully the next few days after that were much better.

I blogged about this layout over here. I really love the happy little moments card which is from Laura Lane's new designs that are coming out soon!

For the supplies, I used Laura Lane's Designs, Far Far Away PL kit, Walden PL kit, and Maggie Holmes Open Book flowers.

This spread was so fun to make! I used Laura Rahel's Designs from various kits. I love how her designs can work with any picture or event. This spread documents our time in Orient Point. There was this adorable sunflower mural that Natalie and I couldn't help but snap a few pictures.  Laughter is timeless, beauty has no age, and dreams are forever. Walt Disney

Loved using these stamps from an old Studio Calico kit to document this moment.
