Moodboard Inspiration | May Moodboard

Thank you April and Hello May! 

I am so excited by the moodboard I created for May! 

WCS | May gallery

Happy May and happy new gallery day! 

May has had the Everydaily theme for 4 years now and it still is such a great theme! Here is my page for the gallery!

What do I do every day? Well, a lot of things clearly, but coffee in the morning is one of my favorite everydailies. Something that makes life a little extra good is the breakfast in bed tradition we have every day. A little moment to wake up and cozy before the day starts.

Do you see those “enamel” dots at the bottom right? Yup, made those myself! I melted plastic beads in my oven! I´ll have a DIY post up about that soon!

I layered yummy papers and transperencies for the page too!

Now go check out the rest of the gallery!

Ps. Here are links to my pages from the other Everydaily galleries: 2011, 2012, 2013

WCS | Minibook with Jenni Bowlin kit

This is a post originally posted on the Write Click Scrapbook blog during March Mini Madness. 

Lisa here with the last day of Jenni Bowlin Mini Madness week. I worked with the September 2013 Papercrafting kit. When I was planning on what my minibook would consist of I saw that the 30 days of lists were going to start on March 1st and that was that; a 30 lists mini it would be!

Here is a look at the finished book. I had pre planned pretty much all the design for the inside pages. 

The book is made with just patterned papers. I trimmed the 12x12" papers to 6x12" and simply folded the pieces in half. For the binding I used 2 staples. I first poked holes for the staples with my craft needle and simply pushed the staples in those and closed them. 

For the cover I just played with the great things in the kit. The stamp works as a base and then I just added the letter stickers and embellsihments. 

I wanted to use tags on each page for the lists. There were a few tags in the kit, but I decided to cut mine from the cardstock in there instead. I cut them all out and added a small punched out circle from a black paper in the kit to the tag before I punched a whole. 

This is how they turned out! That black circle makes all the difference, no?

Here are a few quick looks inside. I knew the list topics since it is a paid event and printed each list as a strip. One of the girls doing the challenge made a pdf with numbers so I cut those out aswell. 

Then I started listing! I have done this project before I knew i would like it!

I love the chunky feel that this mini has! And i hope that it will inspire you to make something like it!

Thanks for stopping by!

Project Life 2014 | Week 15

Week 15.

This was the week our cat followed us to the store and I had to stay outside with her so that she didn´t go inside with us :) I journaled on the photo in Picmonkey before I printed the photo. 

This was the week I had a terrible day at work and my love had made a lovely suprise for me when I came home. 

This was the week I started yet another chrochet blanket. I now know how to do the ripple stitch and it makes me happy! Tip: To get a good photo of me working on this I handed over my phone to my love and he snapped one for me!

This was the week when I cleaned my craft room and discovered I had so many different tools; pens, sissors, screwdrivers and pain brushes. I snapped a photo of them all, it made me happy!

This was the week I had a lovely visit with a dear friend and we chatted over coffee and scones. Tip: Try to journal around the edge of a coffee mug or plate, it is fun!

This was the week when our seedlings sprouted. Tip: Sometimes you don´t need so many words. 

This was the week our cherry tree started blooming, it is always an exciting time.

This was the week I took family photos for my sister and her family.

Tip: Use cute free cards you get in packages to make a card for PL! This was the back of a greeting Cocoa Daisy had in their kit. 

And that my friends is yet another week of Project Life! 

Memorykeeping | I love...

Oh, why yes it is yet another layout using a pie chart! I have fallen in love and there is no turning back :) 

I listed a few things I love about my man and got to use some yummy papers from my Cocoa Daisy kits in the chart! 

When I look at it one the screen here it seems a bit crocked, but in my album it is fine! 

This is sucha simple way to add a little more technique into a very simple page. 

Happy Monday!

Lists with friends 2014 | My childhood home

One list from my 30 days of lists march edition. 

______________________________________

This post is part of a list-making project called Lists With Friends 2014, an effort to document the year in lists of all types. I love lists, and I love a good project : )

Project Life 2014 | Weeks 13 + 14

Week 13 +14

Tip: Use a small brush and watercolors to make your own journalingcard. Everyone can make a messy line, right?!

Tip: For easy journaling, use the Currently list!

Tip: Sometimes a photo says a thousand words, just put a wood veneer heart on it :)

Tip: The app InstaWeather has several different layouts and this very simple and clean one is easy on the eyes.

Tip: Include something you shopped and loved! I was one of the lucky ones to get my hands on one of Elise´s wooden amersands that was her item of April!

Tip: Journaling made easy? Just list it!

Tip: Your daughter goes on her first trip to London? Send her away with the wish for photos (both with the DSLR and with the phone) afterwards. We made a joke that she´d take a selfie with all the cool sightings :)

Tip: Include cute photos of your nephew that your sister posts on social media!

Tip: For easy journaling, start your lines with the words I want to remember...

Here´s to having 118 weeks of life shared here through Project Life!
