Candy Shop: A New Printable Collection

Today I'm introducing Candy Shop: a fun new digital and printable collection. A warm color palette and a graphic feel make this perfect for any happy occasion. 

Candy Shop is my first full digital collection and I'm super excited to share it with all of you. I may have gone a little overboard with 14 journaling cards and another 4 quote cards -- but I can't wait to fill my project life binder with all this happiness! To get you started there are two FREE Project Life printables at the bottom of this page!

5 Tips to Capturing Your Right Now

Do you take the time to capture the 'right now'? Today we'll talk about how to document what's currently going on in your life. 

'Right Now' scrapbooking is one of my favorite ways to scrapbook. I recently completed this 'Right Now' Mini book. It's so much fun to go back and see what music I was listening to, what tv shows I was watching, what books I had on my desk and whatever else was important at that moment. Here is a printable .pdf journaling prompt download to go along with today's post.

Weekly Calendar Template

I need to be a little more organized. Not a lot more, just that one extra step of organization.

I've looked up and down for a good weekly calendar that suits my needs, and I just haven't come up with any that I'm in love with. There were just a couple of specific things that I wanted to keep track of every day and I wasn't finding a good fit.

So I took a couple hours the other day and came up with one completely tailored to my needs.

It has check-boxes at the top for Creative Time and Technical Time so that I can keep track (and keep balanced) my actual crafting time from my blogging and photo editing time.

It also has check-boxes for Breakfast, Lunch, and 8 glasses of water a day -- because I absolutely forget to eat and then I'm just not a happy camper.

I'm not sure if anyone else will have a use for it -- but if someone else can use it too, then awesome!

You should just be able to right-click on the photo and save it to your hard drive. Feel free to pin it to Pinterest to save for a later date or for inspiration on your own custom weekly calendar.

Project Life | 1.30 - 2.6

Hi everyone! I'm here to share with you my project life spread from the week of 1.30 - 2.6.  I do my weeks Monday through Sunday mostly because Jeff and I tend to do a lot of full weekend projects and I thought it would be better to keep the weekends together on one page.

As I move forward with this project, I'm finding that I'm liking my pages a lot more. They are becoming a lot more 'me'. Which is really what I want project life to be all about. Lots of little pockets for pictures, thoughts, memorabilia -- a true snapshot of that week from my perspective.

Here's my spread for this week:

I used some of the Dear Lizzy Neapolitan line throughout the pages. I really like the idea of working with a kit as I go along, I think it gives the spread a much more cohesive feel, an added layer of emotion. Even though these are all separate panels, the use of a color scheme, or a series of patterned papers really brings it all together. 

More details on each page as well as some of the panels after the jump.

Project Life Journaling Cards

I stayed up late tonight working on some new Project Life journaling printables. I'm gonna pull out my Project Life stuff tomorrow when my new Studio Calico box gets here, and I thought it would be great to have a couple new printables to play around with.

There are two 2.9x4 cards. 'Today' and Photo'. And another 4x6 card with 'This was fun.' They're all together on an 8.5x11 sheet of paper for super easy printing. 

Download the file by clicking on the link below the photo.

I'm super excited to use these cards. I used the corner rounder to soften up the edges, and I have my eye on the 'that was fun' card to use for the Super Bowl. As soon as I'm finished using these in my new Project Life pages, I'll be back to show those off.

Thanks again for stopping by!

Project Life Printable: Movie Night

We do a good amount of movie watching here.  We'll set up on the couch, make some snacks and hang out together to watch a flick.  There are times when I'd like to record that in my Project Life pages for the week. So I designed a quick little printable (be kind its my first one) for 'movie night'.

And its no fun if I'm the only one who gets use out of it, so I'd like to share it with everyone. 

DOWNLOAD MOVIE NIGHT JOURNALING CARD

It's really easy to print on the Project Life grid cards, or any other 4"x3" paper. I've taken a few pictures to outline the steps below.

Step One: Print your image on a regular sheet of computer paper. 

Step Two: Cover your image with a blank grid card (or whatever paper you want the image on). I used a little bit of washi tape to stick my image down, but you can use masking tape, or any removable adhesive. 

Step Three: Run your sheet of paper through the printer again. Make sure you are running it through the same direction as before. Tip: if you are unsure which way your printer feeds, mark a corner of your paper before you print, and then make sure your marked corner is in the same place when you go to reprint. 

Step Four: Carefully take off the tape. If you are finding that its not coming off easily, give it a quick blast with your heat gun to melt the adhesive just a bit. 

Thanks for stopping by and checking out my first printable. I hope someone else can get a little bit of use out of it! Please feel free to use it in any of your personal projects, I just ask that you don't use it for profit. 

Any questions or suggestions, please let me know!
