2014 Project Life Cover Page

 I am excited to get started with all my new kits. While I was organizing all my supplies I was inspired to put together the 1st page of the 2014 album.
 I plan to add a family picture to the cover page this year, and that blue square will be perfect for a 2014 instagram picture.

The never ending battle...

I think with most crafters the organization battle is never ending. For me it's part of the fun! I like everything in it's place, I use a planner (the kind you write in, not my phone) and I sketch things out before I start.

Project life is no different.... and it seems that I am always trying a new organization plan.
The problem may really be in my shopping.
I will admit it, I LOVE to buy project life stuff.
The above pictrue is just what I plan to use this year (yeah, this year) I also have an Olive Core Kit that I want to use for the vintage family photos.
So back to the organization.... I needed a way to use all 5, yep that's right 5, kits this year. I had seen other CTMH consultants use the Medium organizer for their PL stuff, so I jumped on the train.
It really is perfect!
 But I have said that before....in fact you can see my other organization solution here.
I spent a cold snowy afternoon combining all my kits...


I also will be using this Washi tape orginizer from Costco on my PL in 2014.
Now it's time to tell you all about the NEW CTMH Picture My Life collection. I am so excited and over the moon for this I hope I don't explode form excitement! Look for these products in 2014 as well as more of my project life!

The Aprons

My Nikon camera bit the dust. It was a sad, sad day I loved that camera. I knew for a while something wasn't right with it and so I sent it off. Nikon was kind enough to return it telling me it could not be fixed. After some thought and the chance to borrow a camera from a friend I decided to buy a new camera- This time I went with a Canon- 5DIII. She is a sweet little girl who takes wonderful pictures. The thing about it is, Fancy (that's her name, don't you name your camera?) cost A LOT of money.  So I need use my skills to earn some $$ to justify the cost. After some thought I decided on the Soul of the Girl Aprons.
Here are a few. I am going to list these on my Etsy store for just a little while. I plan to do a craft show, so if they don't sell in about 2 weeks I am going to take them off Etsy and save them for the show.
I am also working a few other items like journals and shelf displays with the Soul of the Girl on them. 
The very last one is not a girl, but a tree that was a special request.

You can go here to see these and a few more I have ready.

Ladies in Hats

These sweet little ladies in watercolor are from my summer art class. We first sketched images and then we turned those into watercolor.
I found most of my images on Pinterest.
I don't have much papercrafting art to show you right now. After stamp camp and catching up on my art class lessons I just haven't made much. I hope to get back at it soon, but don't be alarmed if my posts are sparse for awhile. I just need time to regroup, get over winter slump.

Blessings Board

In my art class we made a Blessings Board. What is a Blessings board you ask? It is an artful way of displaying things that make you happy, your blessings. I uses a large canvas and then covered it with some admit one tickets. After I covered the entire canvas with the tickets I then painted over it. I strung some elastic string very tight around it can hold all my blessings. I chose to use red as my base color so that I can see all my blessing from Christmas to Valentines day.
