It's Project Life kind of weather...

So anyone else on my side of the world knows that Tropical Cyclone Marcia is sending the rain our way and in my little part of the world, that makes for some perfect crafting weather.

So I'm catching up on my 2015 album.

Now I have recently started PLing weeks as well as my usual events- how do I do both you ask? Well I mix and match and go with what works. So while I have a week 1 & 2 in my album,I will have this spread instead of a week 3. Make sense? 

Works for me :) so I'm happy.

This layout was of my 2 boys- well 3 if you include the husband, bowling. My boys love bowling, even my youngest who usually doesn't like anything lol.

All that is missing is the date.

I like the look of journaling/embellishing straight onto the photo. Doing it a lot more lately.

Thanks for looking

Happy scrapping

More Pocket page letters...

So I'm rexieved my first pocket page letter the other day. I'm in love with this new trend (link to video in previous post).

So I am starting my next pocket page to send back to my new pal- it's so addictive, I started on it as soon as I rexieved hers :)

One of my fave quotes- by Vincent Van Gogh

I love my kikki k

ŽSo you may have noticed an older post where I said I jumped on the planner craze. Well I was going to wait for the Simple Stories Life Documented Planner. With the hold ups that occurred with this line I ended up not wanting to wait lol.

So on Jan 1st I made my first visit to Kikki K at Robina.

I was in love!!

And I brought my very first planner- the gorgeous gold planner.

Isn't it gorgeous? :)

Want a peek at my week?

Yes that is a robo cop movie marathon scheduled in for Valentnes Day :)

December daily- yes I know it's feb!

So yesterday I finally managed to get back into my December Daily. Yes I do realise it is feb- but my mojo was on hiatus over the pat few months. 

I got it back in force recently though . I'm planning on doing an album from my cruise last nov, keeping up to date with 2015 and my goal this weekend is to finish my DD.

Wish me luck and happy scrapping.

Pocket page letters...

So have you heard of the new trend?

Pocket page letters.

It is a way of sending pen pal letters in pocket pages (think project life style).

Thought up by Jannette Lane, This new trend is taking Instagram by storm, and yes I joined the messes.

Today I rexieved my first pocket page letter. I was so excited lol.

I've sent 3 out so far with a list of many more to go. It's is quite addictive and very easy to find a pal to swap with esp thanks to the facebook group designed for this purpose lol.

Watch the videos and join the fun :)

A Forever Love to scrapbook

So I finally sat at my scrap desk again and got some scrapping done.

I decided to do a layout for the Deer and Fawn feb challenge.

The challenge was to make a pocket page layout using the word love, OR a 12x12 layout using pocket page cards, also including the word love.

This is what I came up with...

Planner planning

So ive jumped on the planner band wagon!

A little late I know, but seeing all

The new products comming out twistes my arm.

Im planning (hahaha totally not intentional) to get the simple stories Life Documented collection. It looks like it has everything you need to get started and make a fully customisable planner.

This isn't available here Untill next month so I made a makeshift one, using all printables I found on Pinterest. :)

Oh how I love Pinterest. So I used printables for Nov and Dec and some washi and printed tags. I decided to do these 2 months this style as I'm really busy this time of year and figured it would be perfect to help me stay organised. It's only basic atm, but it'll do till next year.

I'm looking forward to starting my 2015 planner with the simple stories set. So keep on eye out for more posts to come.
