new releases 2.23

hello Thursday & hello new releases... this one was inspired by my daughter's upcoming 5th birthday.  she talks about her birthday every.single.day.of.the.year.  yes, her birthday is a big, big deal & planning a party pretty much consumes the weeks leading up to it.  so, I decided to do a kit that has a little birthday {or any special day} theme to it & included bright, fun colors that are perfect for girl or boy...  hello HaPpY DaY!

now... for some inspiration!

layout by {allison waken} LOVE LOVE LOVE the confetti behind the die cut card!

& this garland by {shelley haganman}  SO making this for the party! you can find her "how to" on her blog today!  love it.

layout by {me}  before I started in on all the girly stuff I wanted to create something boyish... using the Happy Day paper & elements, CutItOut Hand Cut Clipping Masks, So Daily Die Cut Number Cards, In Stitches Neutral Basics, Cut.Outs Zig Zag freebie all by me, Protector Pockets 2 by Karla Dudley & Simply Said by Gennifer Bursett.

birthday invite by {me} using Happy Day papers & elements, the background is from my Everyday papers & again Karla's Protector Pockets 2 {links above}.  Need to get these printed asap... it's coming up fast!  I'm hoping to do some hybrid projects for the party with the papers... banners, party favors, decorations... hopefully I can post more soon about that!

remember 30% off all new good stuff in the shop today... there's tons of great kits up today too!

new dollar kit

just wanted to give you guys a heads up that I have a new dollar kit in the shop today...

a little wood alpha.  I used a few of the numbers on my project life I posted yesterday & I love how Shannon used them in her layout...

remember all $1 kits are just a dollar until the end of February, then they'll return to normal price... there are tons of awesome ones in the shop, so definitely check them out!

project life. week 6. feb 5-feb 11.

jeez, this took me a long time to get moving on!  I started it earlier, but then was once again going back & forth between paper & digital.  I received my prints of my other digital pages back from Persnickety Prints & loved them, but I guess I was still torn.  Finally, I decided to go ahead with the digital, but I did switch templates so I could fit more content into my pages.  These are basically the same layout I was doing in paper, but digital form.  I loved doing the paper version, but I had to be honest with myself that the digital was going to cut out a lot of extra steps for me & since this is an ongoing project, I needed to figure out what would work best for me.  so that's it... final decision! {I know, seriously, make up your mind already!} lol. so, here we go...

week 6. page 1.

sunday. 21 super bowl weekends ago Dan & I met.  sunny. hanging out around home. Dan learning how to sew buttons on his shirts {at 41}. super gallery bowl chat at DHD.  super bowl commercials.  monday. homemade low fat enchiladas. tuesday. tracking better.  apps, apps & more apps. tuesday. snowy. watching baby K.

week 6. page 2.

wednesday. a day in the life. {the photos I took I printed at postal pix & plan to do a mini book}. girl drama. thursday. valentine making with Evan & Lydia.  friday. blogged at DHD about a hybrid layout I created with digital kits. x box live obsessed boys. target trip. Lydia's first icee.  saturday. Dan & I out for the day & night with friends for a very cold, but very fun 4 wheeler party. Evan out for the night for his friend's birthday.

I'm planning on jumping right into week 7, since I'm rolling & I'm thinking it will come together quick!  whoo hoo! still loving it.  As I put the pages I had printed into my album last week, it was fun to go back & look at the previous weeks.  Funny how soon we forget {or at least I do} what we did from week to week.  How are you doing on your Project Life?

cut.outs paper freebie

just wanted to pop in to put this up... after creating the zig zag tags, one of the decorators at DHD requested a die cut zig zag paper like the tag, so I whipped this up.  I couldn't get into enough of them to make a full kit, so I thought I'd just share it here... hope you like!

you can use as is, or use as a clipping mask for other papers!  personal use only, please :)
