Layout and a card

It's been awhile since I made a heritage layout, also a while since I used Thickers lol. While searching for an old photo which was already photocopied, I came across 15 unfinished layouts, most of which were barely started. They were all put away because I got stuck on ideas etc for them. I made a new goal to get round to finishing most of them one day. Anyway, I took this old photo from one of them lol. 

Also, my Grandma recently turned 90, so I made her this quick card.

I'm 3 weeks into my course and im currently swamped with homework. Gonna do a huge catch up this week, enjoy the 5 day weekend, and then get started on the next assignment, which I will be more productive on and use my time wisely.
I'm also starting to fall more behind on project life, so I'm going to start setting time aside most nights for scrapbooking/pl.
tfl.

Project Life 2013 title page plus more study

I've decided to continue Project Life in 2013. I find that it's a great way to document everyday photos that I take that would otherwise just be stored on a computer and never seen by future generations and stuff.  I'm pretty behind at the moment, with a few months of 2012 to catch up on, but I'm determined not to quit this project.

For my 2013 title page I used a mix of simple Stories, MissTina, and Becky Higgins.

Also, I'll be going back to study in a week. I thought I had till July to prepare, but I got a call a few days ago because a spot opened up in the earlier class and I was offered it. I accepted it and was excited, till I realised it was a week and a half away. Not the greatest amount of time to pay course fees, sort out student allowance, fix the broken zip on my bag, and mentally prepare myself. So I'm a tad stressed, and nervous because I've heard that Digital Media Advanced is really intense.

Project Life: April and May

 Finally went back and completed April and May, which had been almost complete for ages.
So in these months I got sick on easter and again on my birthday, had a small kitchen fire when I turned on the wrong element, got really close to 2 people from the Twilight wolf pack, did photography stuff for course and turned 22, so quite a lot of interesting stuff happened lol.

May includes an insert of extra photos from when I walked around town and took heaps of photos for my homework. I cut a Becky Higgins page protector in half. I get my Dad to print my photos at his work because the printer is a lot better quality than my home printer, his printer quite often prints out darker than on screen, so these extra photos turned out way to dark. I might get them printed again at a photo kiosk cause everytim I look at them it bugs me.

Notes for my valentine plus a card

After hours of searching for inspiration for a valentines gift, I came across a blog with book of notes by oh, hello friend. I figured it would be perfect since I wanted to write a love letter anyway, so I could put that into an envelope.

So I searched through my stash of products, even old stuff I constantly forget about, and love quotes etc on pinterest, and this is what I came up with.
I love looking through this book and flipping up bits and pulling things out lol.

I also made him this card. I didn't realise how hard it is to make a lovey dovey girly kind of card for a guy lol. I took the photo while we were setting up for our romantic outside dinner.

Project Life: October 2012

It's been awhile since I've blogged about project life. I'm slowly catching up on 2012 though.

Just after October I decided to change how I was doing pro life. I was originally just going through slot by slot, not caring about weekly spreads, then I realised it was holding me back a little because I couldn't skip ahead and go back to finish previous pages, so I decided to start doing monthly spreads. I started working on the month that had just been and I've now finished it lol. And since I tend to take a lot of photos, I cut up a few project life page protectors and used them to put extra photos in.

 

 

I'm almost finished with another couple of months which I'll be posting soon.

21st album

I made this mini album in October last year and I'm finally getting round to posting it. I like making albums for friends birthdays that people can sign, so when my boyfriends 21st was coming up I knew I had to make him one. I wanted to make an album that had plenty of pages for people to write on and plenty of space for photos, and I didn't want it to end up bulky. So after searching for inspiration, I came across this tutorial here. It's basically how to make your own Amy Tangerine day book. It looked so awesome that I just had to make my own, so here's photos of it before I gave it to my bf.

I just had to ad a birthday badge for him to wear lol

I attached a cd sleeve at the back so that he could edit the videos I took and make a little movie

I loved how it turned out and how quick and easy it was to make. I have a few mini albums in mind to make and I'll definitely be using this idea again.

'heart this' layout

I made this layout yesterday in just a few hours. Normally it takes me a few days to finish one lol.

I made it for a sketch contest over at Scrappin' Patch.

The photos of a heart I drew on a wooden sculpture thingy. It's hidden from the rain so it should last a long time, kinda curious to see what it looks like now, a month and a bit later.
