Week Four: 1/24 - 1/30

So I took a little break from blogging...BUT...I'm BACK!

Time to catch up on my Project 365! Click on the pictures to see them larger and read the journaling.

I am loving this project! And I have found that it makes for a lot less scrapbook pages in my family album...because I'm documenting everyday life in this Project Life album by Becky Higgins!

And here are the pictures up close...

Happy 1st Birthday

If you didn't attend the crop last Saturday or you left early, you may not have seen this layout completed! I really wanted to get a lot of pictures on this page! There were so many images from her 1st birthday party that I wanted to remember! I made 4 collage prints from Walgreens and cut them apart! I just love this layout so much! (Cardstock: Stampin Up, DSP: American Crafts, Letters: Cricut cartridge - Zoobaloo)

This was also my picture of the day for 2/27. Update on that album coming soon!

CROP Make n Take

If you attended my CROP this past weekend, you know how great the FREE make n take was! You will see it above! A Cute 3x3 birthday card! These are great to put on presents of parties that you will be attending! I just love this little stamp from Birthday Bliss! And I also love the paper from the 6x6 Sale-A-Bration pad! And the best part is that I got them both for FREE through the Sale-a-Bration offer! This offer is only good for another 29 days! Take advantage of it NOW!

Happy March

Man...last March 1st my little baby was under 2 weeks old! Those days were long but fun! I kinda miss when I "had" to hold Brooke to get her to sleep. Anyway, I got to flip the page of my calendar this morning and this is what I get to look at for a month!!

Party Favors

A while back I saw a post on someone's blog about photo cubes in the $1 spot at Target. So I hurried over and picked up 6 of them. I didn't know what I was going to use them for, but they were only $1! Ha!

I'm glad that I figured out a good use for them! I gathered pictures of the party guests with Brooke and filled a cube for each family in attendance! They were so cute! (And check out the cute video that my sister made for us! She compiled TONS of pictures into a little slideshow to show at the party and each family got their own copy!)

Close up of the cubes.

Ribbon

Scrapbooking ribbon really is great for almost anything!!

"love" Layout

Just wanted to share with you my club page for this month. Don't you just love it??!!

Here are a few ways you can get your hands on it if you want one too:

1. Make n' Take - Come to the crop in Gardner on Saturday, 2/27 any time from noon until midnight and make this page yourself! Cost will be $8. All contents are included except the cute baby you see in all of the pictures (and of course you fill the page with your own pictures too)! You must provide your own adhesive. This will take approx. 1 hour to complete.

2. Page Kit - I will stamp all of the images for you and have all of the papers pre-cut. All you have to do is cut and glue. Cost will be $10. The beauty about this is that you can create this layout whenever you want or whenever you have time!

3. Completed Layout - Who wants to do all that work when I will do it for you? You say you want it and I will provide you with a completed layout. All you need to do is add pictures! Cost is $12.

**Your designer series paper may differ a little from my sample but it will coordinate and will all be from the Sending Love DSP pack in the mini catalog.**

**Please note that if you are in my Scrapbook Club, you get to make this page for FREE!!! No need to email me back to sign up! I will see you on Friday night at my house (6:30pm) OR Saturday at the crop to complete your page!**

I only have 4 kits available so act now! First come, first serve! Email me to reserve yours today! demokimsu@yahoo.com Please note in your email which option you prefer: 1, 2, or 3.

If you do not choose option #1 you may pick up your kit or completed page at my house in Gardner or I will ship it to you for $5.

Hope you all have a great weekend!

Punch Confetti

I didn't pay anything for confetti! I just used scraps in the party colors and my circle punches in all sizes and there you have it! And it was also a great baby entertainer when the grown ups were talking!

P.S. Don't you just love all of the pink candies that I got on sale after Valentine's Day?!!

It's all about the details!

Just thought I would share this fun ribbon detail that I used for Brooke's birthday party! I have had these glass jars for a long time! So I thought they would look cute as party decor! I just found some ribbon in coordinating party colors and placed it in the jars. The best part of this is that I can still use the ribbon! I love these jars!

The Birthday Hat

There were so many crafty touches I wanted to add to Brooke's 1st Birthday party. Here is her party hat!

Of course...at this age, it was mostly for show...she didn't want to wear it. She wanted to get to the cake!

See...I was just trying to tie it and she was already taking it off.

So Daddy tried to eat it.

And that made baby happy!

Here is the hat. I just used Sticky Strip to hold the hat together and then hot glued on the pom poms. Used the cricut to create the scallop circle and 1!
