It's a New Day...

Project Life...oh my...

So, I'm behind on Project Life (not surprising!). I've been really good about making sure I am keeping track of things but I've been really bad about actually doing the layouts. I created my first layout using the Noel Mignon Homespun kit (sorry, it's sold out) this weekend and I am totally hooked now. I mixed in a few extra journaling cards and alphas, but the rest is from the kit.

It took me forever to actually start writing on this page and committing to what I wanted to do, but once I got started it really just took off from there. I am totally addicted to doing this now. I get why so many people are doing this. It's a ton of fun and when I was done with the page I loved that I had so much to say about our week. I had very few pictures, but a lot of memories to share and that is what was awesome!

I'm hoping to get more caught up soon...

Here's my first page!

I had to edit the "this week" card from Elle's. It originallly had the week starting on Sunday, but I'm working on my PL album with the week starting on Monday. I just can't bring myself to have the week start on Sunday. To me it ends on Sunday and starts on Monday. I just cut the Sun part off and added it to the bottom. 

We have a weird sense of humor in our house so I had a little bit of fun with the journaling card in the bottom row. The one where my daughter is exercising... Makes me laugh!

Please someone, tell me I'm not the only one that is behind on this????

Sharing some Noel Mignon love...

I'm going to get caught up on sharing projects today that I've created for Noel Mignon and then next week I'm going to get myself back into the swing of blogging. I've missed blogging. I setup my blogging schedule and then quickly fell behind...no more!!

So here are some projects since I've last shared!

Here is a layout using the beautiful Charm School kit from Noel Mignon. Blogged in more detail here. 

And another one using the Charm School kit. Blogged here.

And a card using Charm School. And there's is still TONS left in the kit. She seriously packs those kits full of so much awesomeness! Blogged here. 

Here's a layout using the Cabin Fever kit. Blogged here. 

And a quick little pillow using the fabric, burlap and buttons in the Cabin Fever kit. Blogged here. 

And some cards using Cabin Fever. I've challenged myself to create some cards out of each kit so I can build my stash!! Blogged here.

Ok, so now that I've showed you how AWESOME Noel's kits are it's a perfect time to tell you that Noel now has a kit subscription plan is seriously cool. You can read all about it here. And you are going to want to start with the March kit because it is by far my most favorite kit of all time and I'm not just saying that. Every little detail in it makes me so HAPPY!! Here's a sneak... You can see even more sneaks here.

February Take Twelve

Here's my February layout for Ella's Take Twelve Challenge. Since February is all about LOVE, I spent the February 12th taking picture of little things I loved about the day.

Each month I'm still thinking the title will simply be the month.

And there needs to be journaling of course. I put a subtitle on this layout to tie together the theme for the month, incase the hearts didn't give it away ;)

I love these Elle's Studio monthly calendars but it's bugging me that the days are wrong so I'm thinking I'm going to have to swap this out for something different. I was hoping to be able to use them on each month's layout, but I can't get over the days. Someday I won't remember that it was a Sunday...or maybe I can just put on here that it was...hmmm. Ok, now I'm just rambling!

If you played along this month don't forget to link up your page on the Ella Blog for a change to win the monthly giveaway.

Happy February!

Lily Bee's New Release....LOVE!

I am so sad that I had to miss the winter CHA show. Still bumming about it even though it's done. I missed catching up with friends and drooling over new products.

I did get to play with, what I think, is the coolest release ever! I've been a big fan of Lily Bee's from the very beginging. I've used EVERY product/line that Kristen has released and have loved them all. BUT, I have to say I know this is my favorite release yet. Seriously, in L.O.V.E.!!

Here's what I made using the new lines from Lily Bee for the show...
