12/26/18 - 2018 Project Life/Weeks 43 and 44

For the day after Christmas I thought it would be appropriate to share some Halloween layouts...

Okay, not really appropriate but it is where I left off on my Project Life Journey, so here we go:

 

 

A Traditional Pocket Page

-PL Week 43-

 

Documented:
-- Watched the New Halloween
-- Another yummy dessert made by my husband
Journaling:
"My husband surprised me w/ these homemade Pumpkin Spice Mousse desserts. My daughter likes them too; darn!"
-- A yummy Plant Based lunch I meal prepped for work
Journaling:
"Vegetarian Eating doesn't have to be boring:
 >Beyond Meat Feisty Crumbles
 >Sun Vista Jalapeno Pinto Beans
 >Chipotle Rice-a-Roni

This was also my Birthday Week and I have a separate layout w/ the photos of/pertaining to my birthday.
Traditional/Hybrid Layout using the Project Life App w/ real life embellishing:

And here is week 44, also a Traditional Pocket Page...
This is the back of the Week 43 page:

As you can see, learning how to do the "film-strip" style print came in handy!


Documented:
-- I cleaned and reorganized my scrap room
-- Halloween Selfie
Journaling: "When you want to be professional at work and celebrate Halloween"
-- "Mom Bite" - if you don't know what this is look at this previous shared layout***

12/10/18 - "Use Your Stuff" Challenge #340

A new Challenge is up at the "Use Your Stuff" Blog.

The challenge is called -Inspired By a Book-

This is what I came up with:

(it's a shame the "copper" colored strips didn't photograph better)

 

 

I was inspired by the book "Twas the Night Before Christmas". I used a line from the book as my title: "...a long winters nap".

This is another page for my December (Not-So) Daily 2017

I like that it's not overwhelmingly Christmas-y. Really the only hints of it (maybe) being a Christmas Page is the use of Red, Green and White.

Not everything done during December Daily, or Not-So-Daily, is necessarily Christmas-related.

 

 

I hope you'll come check out the challenge and maybe even play along!

TFSB!

11/26/18 - "Use Your Stuff "Challenge #338

"Use Your Stuff" Challenge #338
is also a Collaborative Challenge w/ the "Double Trouble Challenge" Blog.


The challenge is to use this Mood Board from UYS:

and select one (or both) of the following Challenges from DTC:

-Include a Sweet Treat on your project
or
-Include something sparkly



My layout took inspiration from all 3
- Mood Board
- Sweet Treat
- Bling


It is a page I created for my 2017 December (Not-So) Daily.
Yup, I'm still trying to finish it!
(More on that in a later post)

This page not only a great mix of the challenge but a great mix of old and new product!
I actually really love the way it turned out!
Hoping it motivates me to work on more Dec Daily pages!

Also hoping to see you play along w/ one or both of the challenges, however it inspires!

11/02/18 - "Penguin Luv"

Hello!
Happy Friday, or Saturday, when you will (probably) actually see this post!

Did I tell you I recently cleaned and reorganized my scrap room?
I know I mentioned it on Instagram but IDK if I did so here...
BTW if you want to check out my Insta, my user name is Mrs_David_Vasquez

Anyway, as I was saying I cleaned and reorganized my scrap room and I am very happy I did... it is easier to find/access my stuff which means it's easier to scrap, yay!
Speaking of "find"ing, I found an old photo of my daughter, and just had to scrap it!

"Penguin Luv"

 

Journaling: Madison went through a huge penguin phase. Here she is wearing the slippers she received for Christmas. I think this may be the only photo I have of her "Penguin Phase", Bummer!'

 

 

As the journaling says, my daughter went through a Penguin Phase. She was obsessed w/ them! And as I also mentioned, I don't think I have any photos of that phase except this one. I'm really bummed about that, that's why even though this may not be the greatest photo (what is she even eating/drinking?!) it was important to me that I scrap it.

 

Do you have any "photo regrets"?

Let me know in the comments

 

BTW - my daughter is now, and has been for many years, a huge fan of pigs. Good thing we hadn't bought her a Penguin ::wink:: (for those who don't know, we have a pet pig)!

 

- I am entering this in the "Any Holiday" Challenge over at the Hiding in my Craft Room Blog.

 

Most of the products here are Echo Park and Studio Calico.
