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!

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!

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.

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?

this week started off with Catholic Schools Week at the kids' school. Collin served mass, Evan & some of his school mates represented the school at mass while Father talked about HTC. Wednesday was mass with Evan at the elementary, donuts & coffee & then the rest of the day off of school to get Collin & Evan to the dentist.  No cavities, but braces were mentioned for Evan's future :(  Wednesday I also started the Stretch your Kit class at Studio Calico with Amy Tan. When we got back home from the dentist, we noticed that there were a bunch of Cardinals & Blue Jays out our kitchen window, so I caught some pics of those.  They don't show themselves very often, it seems.

Friday was a busy day too.  Lydia & I babysat my great niece for the day, we had haircuts {& styling by Pam for Lydia, which she LOVED}.  My sister Kathy was in the hospital from Monday-Friday after having the stomach flu... a real bad deal since she has type 1 diabetes.  Thank goodness she's ok now & hopefully doesn't happen again any time soon! so scary. I added a screenshot of her facebook update announcing she was coming home :)  Saturday was lots of whatever around the house.  Playing with Lydia in her room talking about superheros, designing kits for this week & cookie baking were also part of the day.

I do enjoy creating these pages digitally, but I'm still so torn, because I love doing it with paper too... why do I have to be the indecisive type?!? lol

you can peak a few little sneaks of some products I have releasing tomorrow at DHD on the pages too :)

{robyn}

I had made up some of my own masks for the Froggy layout I'd done last week & I received requests for this type of thing... so I hope you all enjoy & find them useful! I love the look on digi or paper layouts :)

{by shannon} using the script

{by me} using the block {I took inspiration from the layout in this gallery}

I also used on this layout the freebie Hello Love Flair, LoveLoveLove papers, InStitches Bright Basics & Neutral Basics & Tag You're It + elements & papers from this new mini kit I created that popped up today at One Story Down {which is free if you complete the girl vs scrap challenge shown on this post}

I also used some things from LoveLoveLove & another Karla Dudley Protector set. & yes, I'm addicted to labels... I'm blaming it on my paper stash... I was inspired I guess ;)
