Papercraft Haven and More

I have so many projects rolling at once, I'm not sure if you guys are like this or not...but wow - I feel like I am all over the place right now!  The next few months is going to be really busy for me in all aspects of my life - and very much a deciding factor in what is next for me!  I am excited, happy - and really looking forward to all the hard work coming up next for me and my family let me tell you!   So, with all this work I am doing right now, how do I document things so I can see the day to day stuff that was done in order to get me where we are in a year from now?  I want to see the things done - the events we did - the education we took - the driving we did to places during our journey this year, I want it all documented so I can keep all of the little details from the year in one place! For last year - I still have to go back through my Facebook account - my emails - and my photos on my phone, in order to document some of the things we did... NOT...

Thanks to Stampin' Up, I recently discovered Project Life style scrapbooking, and have really fallen in LOVE with it!  There are a lot of things you can do with this style of scrapbooking, including ways to save money as you go!  The kit I am using (above), along with the accessory pack (below) helped to get me started, and allowed me to see the fun little accessories I could use with my pictures!   Now, don't get me wrong - I still love doing mini albums and things, but this style, simply allows me to document where I was, and how far we have came, and the journey along the way!  I really wish I would have found this sooner than I did (though I know it has been around....) and gotten started sooner!   Some ideas right off the top of my head that you can use for this style of album: If you have an event such as a birthday party, bridal or baby shower, anniversary, wedding...find the perfect kit you can use - add photos to, and leave some around for gu...

Are you a Project Lifer?  I know my album this year - is going to be done Project Life style - I just need to take the time to get a few things documented from the last 2 months - and keep up with the current stuff!  I was checking out my Stampin' Up site - and found some awesome specials for Project Life in the clearance section - I wanted to share the info with you guys here!  Everyday Adventures card pack $6.38 - accessory pack $3.98 Happiness is Project Life card pack $6.38 - accessory pack $3.98 Little Moments card pack $6.38 - accessory pack $3.98 Project Life packs - various prices  I have a ton of fun things planned in the next few weeks - having my smart phone and Shutterfly, I can always print out the photos I need to add to the album later!  At the end of rebuilding our life - time to document each and every "thing" done this year - and put the album away for good!  Join me this year - have fun shopping on a budget - and make sur...

I tend to do the same things creatively for the most part, and really don't do anything other than mini albums and smaller projects.  There is no need for me anymore to have albums for kids - my kids are grown and gone!  Yet I wanted to do something this year to document the good AND the bad from this year coming up!  Project Life was the instant answer for me - allowing me to document, take pictures, and then add the pictures as I get them printed to the album!  I have a smart phone which I tend to take more pictures from than my digital camera (but for different things), so by downloading the Shutterfly app, I can get the pictures printed out in no time, then adding to the page where I need it!   Project Life will let me customize my 2016 album with various packs, such as the Moments Like These card pack I got!  Add to that the accessory pack , cardstock, a stamp set such as the one here, punches, journaling pens - and you have an album that can be...
