Leaving on an airplane...

I had big plans to post about Valentine's day, and a few other cool things, but unfortunately my eldest daughter has been sick the last two days, and I leave bright and early tomorrow morning for Creative University.

I was able to finish a HUGE project yesterday.  It's been in the works for 2 years, and I completed the very last page yesterday afternoon.  That feels amazing!  In 2009 I did "Project 365" and took one photo a day, every day that year.  The last time I worked on this album was at Creative University last year!  And since, I decided not to bring my laptop with me this year, I knew I just had to finally get this project out of my "to do" bin for good.

Most of my pages looked similar to this one - with just a few photos, and a description of the events. 

 I can't believe how little Ruby was!

In an effort to just "get'er done" I decided that for Oct, Nov, and December, to just limit it to a 2 page spread.  The templates were from Mandagirl (see the link for her site on the right), and just2things blog (which no longer exists).  The papers and embellishments are primarily Shabby Princess and Zoe Pearn.

 

Have a lovely weekend everyone!  And I'll write more upon my return!

Project 365 - catching up

Since we are still in Texas, I've had some time to catch up on my digi-scrapping. With project 365, I'm now caught up through the middle of May. Here is my most recent layout (click on the photo to see it larger):

I used a template by Jessica Sprague (one that was offered during the Digi - In Deep class). I also used papers from Shabby Princess, and a free sparkly alphabet.

This layout took forever (over 4 hours), so I'm very excited about CTMH's Studio J. I could have done something extremely similar in about 40 minutes. Also - using Studio J allows me to use CTMH papers which is so cool! If only it would be here now! I'm counting down the days until Studio J is released. :)
