Project Life 2013

I jumped back on the PL bandwagon really late last year, like December 31st late ;) I am so glad I did though. Granted we are only 3 weeks in, but I just LOVE this project! I am using the Studio Calico Handbook and I love the size, 6×8. I am discovering the fun options that come with playing around with Photoshop Elements and brushes and digital stamps and I am having so much fun! Here are my weeks so far

    I forgot to share my latest layout from Chic Tags, I was on vacation when this posted to the blog.

    I have a few projects to share today. I am totally in love with the November Studio Calico kit. I can’t believe that the main kit is still available!

    I hope you all have a great Monday!

Chic Tags Blog Hop

Welcome to the next stop on the Chic Tags blog hop!! I have a post about organizing your December Daily supplies. I am so excited to get started on my DD this year, but first some serious organization was due! I needed to group my supplies and get a better idea of what I have to work with. I found this tray at a consignment shop and knew I could put it to good use. I know Target has the plastic trays that are very popular or you could use a cutlery tray or you might have something already around the house that would be perfect! I pre-cut my papers so I would have them handy. I also know that I am going to use tons of vellum, so I cut out quite a bit of that too. I have my most used inks and a bottle of acrylic paint that I plan on using. I am not going to limit myself to just these products. Some more may get added through the month and maybe take some things out that I don’t end up using.

I have some Christmas Chic Tags right in the back. I want those to be very accessible:)

I also love the 25 Days Snip’em Tags and 25 Days Snip’em Numbers. You get a ton of tags on those sheets!

I am a bit of a sucker for Mason Jars so I had to use one here as well. I think it is great for all of the little badges and wood veneer. Personally I like to dump things out and look through them to find the perfect embellishment. Then once it is found you can throw it all back in! Easy clean up!

I know for me this system should work very well. I know I will be doing regular layouts throughout the month of December, so having a tray that I can move around my craft room is a BIG plus! I tend to make a bit of a mess when crafting:)

So now to the good stuff!

I love Fall

Fall is in full swing here in New Hampshire. It is my favorite time of the year. I love all of the holidays that go along with it and knowing that Christmas is just around the corner. Which means 2 of my favorite things-Christmas music and decorations! But I don’t want to get too ahead of this time of year. I am still enjoying the signs of fall.

I hope you have a great day!

Chic Tags

I have some exciting news to share here. I have been sitting on the info for a little while, so it is super exciting to finally share. I love Chic Tags products. They are super cute and easy to add to just about any layout or card. Congrats to all of the new ladies, I am really looking forward to working with you all!

Here are a few new pages to share. The first one gave me real troubles, but in the end I really like the way it came out.

I hope you have a great Thursday!!

Good-bye Summer, Hello Fall

It is bittersweet to say so long to summer, we had a great one. But I love Fall and everything that comes along with it-Pumpkins, Thanksgiving, Halloween, Turkey dinners, fires in the wood stove, a couple of special birthdays around our house;)

Adios Summer

Well hello there Fall, nice to see you again
