{Summer Love}

I love card making! It's one of those things you can sit and do when you have even just 10 minutes of free time. As a mom to 2 small children I have limited free time! This card was so simple and turned out so cute! I had just enough time to finish it before my 11 month old had a melt down;)

{Paper Love}

So I went into Michaels today and found this AMAZING Comic/Super Hero paper pad! I have a 5 year old boy so I knew right away I could do a lot with this paper pad. I already made a Birthday card for a little girl's birthday he's going to. I plan on making lots of boy birthday cards and some cute layouts with it:) There are some good neutrals included in this pack also. I didn't photograph every paper, just some of my favorites. Enjoy!

Here is the card I made using one of the sheets of paper and a brown cardstock I had from Close to my Heart. Then I used American Crafts cork thickers and my alphabet stamp for the sentiment! I think it's cute for a boy to give to a girl on her birthday.

This black also comes in red and green.

{Project Life}

I love this way of documenting life! I'm not the traditional project lifer. I use whatever page protector I have on hand and make it work! I also do not keep things weekly in my album, they fit wherever they fit and I'm okay with that. I try not to put too much pressure on myself to have my album in chronological order. The beginning of the year starts near the front and the end of the year is towards the back. Here are a few PL style pages from this summer:)

{App Love}

I love a good App and this one is so much fun! It's called "Over". It allows you to write text over your photo! I'm sure there a million ones out there that do this, but I love the fonts this one has! It's perfect for Scrapbooking and PL!

{Scrapping Multiple Photos}

part 3

Thank you everyone for joining me on my little series about scrapping multiple photos. Today is the last page, a PL style page. I made this one interactive as well because I wound up with extra photos I needed to fit it, lol. Always a problem of mine!

As always I start with photos!

I soon realized I needed a spot for my tickets, so I moved that sleepy picture of my daughter down to the bottom pocket. I thought it might be cute to make it interactive with the sleeping picture underneath.

The finished page works well for me. I like the interactive pockets and featuring the tickets. For the interactive pockets I always use some kind of arrow clip or tab so it's pretty obvious it flips up.

Here is the underneath to that top left pocket. I had these train tickets that fit in perfect! And I love that the arrow clips work on both sides.

I've been waiting to use that popsicle sticker forever! It fits perfect!

This was a fun accident at the game. I had my camera out right as a home run was hit so I got all the good reaction shots! I knew I wanted to print them together:)
