I made a page that I like! lol. You may have noticed that I make a lot of pages where I cut an inch off of 2 sides of patterned paper and then back it with cardstock to have a bit of a frame for the background. As you can imagine, this leaves me with a ton of 1 inch strips of paper. Today I decided to use some of them. 🙂
As you can see, I just took a bunch of the strips from my Jillibean Soup drawer (I love their B sides!) and layered them to mat the photos. Then I added a few strips of washi tape and a couple of stickers.
If I do a page like this again, I think I’d add even more embellishments to the strips of paper, but all in all I’m happy with how this turned out.
In other news, I just placed a huge order with scrapbook.com and I cannot wait for it to get here! After making over 80 pages in the last 2 months without buying anything aside from cardstock, it’s time for some new product! I will say, I’ve enjoyed falling in love with some of my old papers again, but there’s nothing like a big box of goodies to inspire me. 🙂
Speaking of inspiration, how did I do on February’s goals? Well, not as good as I did on January’s, but I did get quite a bit accomplished.
- Baby Girl’s Blanket- Well, I got a teeny bit done, but I really need to put in some time on this one.
- Finish Felt Letters- I have got to work on these. For serious.
- 2014 Project Life- I got 2 out of the 5 layouts done. That’s something, right? lol.
- 2015 Project Life- I got 2 of the 4 done. I want to catch up on this next month.
Add trim to burp rags. Done! I’ll be blogging this soon. They’re super cute.- Fraycheck wipes. Ugh. I need to buy the fraycheck so I can finish these already.
Scrap September 2013. Done! I got 9 layouts done and it feels great.Scrap October 2013. Also done! 11 layouts for this month. 🙂- Scrap November 2013. So close. Only 2 more to go.
- Scrap December 2013. I think I was a bit ambitious with the scrappy goals. lol. 2 left to go in this month as well. You guys! That means I only have 4 more layouts left in 2013! Sweet!
Blog!I was able to get a blog post up 3 times a week this month which was my goal!
I set some ridiculous lofty goals for February, so even though I didn’t meet all of them I’m feeling pretty great about the progress that I did make.
Now March… Since the babies are going to be here early to mid April, the pressure is on! Also, RaptorDad is taking Raptor on a wee road trip for Spring Break so I’m going to have a few days of dedicated crafty time. Yay! So goals for March.
- Shopping List for Frozen Meals
- Assemble/ Freeze Casseroles (0/3). I want to make several batches of lasagna, mac n cheese, and something else and freeze them so we don’t starve when the twins arrive.
- Scrap November 2013. Only 2 to go!
- Scrap December 2013. I’m actually hoping to knock out most of these before my big box of scrappy goodness arrives. I know I’m only going to want to play with new things then and I didn’t order any Christmas stuff. lol.
- Scrap February 2014. Believe it or not, January 2014 is already done. As is March. 🙂 I may end up skipping February for now and working on April since I didn’t order any Valentine’s Day stuff, but I did order some summery stuff.
- Finish Baby Girl’s Blanket. Down to the wire here folks. Yikes.
- Finish Felt Letters. It’s pathetic that these still aren’t done.
- Make Carseat Covers. I’m excited about these! I found a tutorial on line and I can’t wait to go pick out fabric for them. 🙂
- 2014 Project Life (0/6)
- 2015 Project Life (0/6)
- Paint Nursery. Soon!
- Assemble all of the Baby Stuff!
- Summer Activities for Raptor. I want to come up with some throw down activities/ crafts for her for this summer.
- Blog! (0/27). This seems ridiculous, but it will give me a buffer through April. I’d really like to be able to have some content post while we’re busy with babies. 🙂 I’m think I’m going to photograph some of my older layouts and put them up on the blog. I spotted a few blog worthy ones while I was assembling the 2013 (part 2) album.
