Lynda's Den

Everyone in life has their own book of "rules" - those things in life you just simply do because they are right, or because you were taught that way!  I see n the above qu ote on Facebook (of course), and like usual - a new project came in to play....  Those Lynda's Book of Life Rules!!! With this project -you will want to get some paper to make some notes with!  The album will be more journaling and some pictures - more of a way to document and keep documenting!  Rules end up changing - or adding on to ...  Things you put up with when you are in your 20's - I  will almost tell you, you won't when you are a bit older!  Those little life rules that are YOURS!   6 x 6 mini album for sale For my project - I am thinking I will do a 6 x 6 al bum (like this one I have for sale), with this graphic for the cover!  Something with a bit of hidden aspects and tags for sure!  For me - I want something in my own handwriting ... ...

Magnets - made out of rubbers stamps, flattened out Creative Paperclay product, flowers, paint - and a bit of creativity!  I had a TON of fun making these magnets, and can't wait to send them to those I have created them for!  You can check out how to do these fun little items on the blog here !

How many projects do YOU have right now - that needs to get done?  This is one of many I have right now, a folio album (my first) !!!  My problem is - when I start something, I get halfway through before I end up starting something else - and then something else halfway through that - and then halfway through that, I might start something else!  Th at is f or my OWN projects - yet if I am making something for someone else, or to sell, I can whip them right up!  This is what I am working on right now :  My Grandmothers Recipe's album - a digital album with scans of her recipe cards, made with Shutterfly so others can purchase one themselves!  Since it is started already, once I get rolling it shouldn't be too long to finish it up!  Christmas paper bag album - just in time for Christmas in July (wink wink)!  This one I might be able to handle, along with some fun Christmas cards too!   The album pictured above - my first ever F...

I was watching "The Talk" today, a talk show in CBS (if you have never watched it)!  It isn't my normal thing to watch on a daily basis, though I would if I could or sure!  Anyway - back to the task at hand (LOL) - they asked a question, I thought would be perfect for a project!!!!      Who in your life has influenced you the MOST? I have to tell you - I have a lot of people who have influenced me...  I am not sure I WANT to go in to a lot of the bad things here - even though they HAVE shaped me in to who I am today...  That would have to be done using hidden aspects in a project instead of a page all their own!   That one person for me- if I simply had to choose only one - is my husband!   Del has not had it easy in life - from one thing to another, and even another...  He has shown me that you put one foot in front of the other, and do what you need to - NOT what the masses tell you to do!  He has taught me how to love - a...

Okay folks, it is my first weekend challenge - Memories in Tyme style!!!  One of those features I will probably do quite often, though I am not sure every weekend !!!  I have a ton of things that needs to get done - and nothing GETTING done!!!  So - this weekend, in between blogging, I am going to be creating as well!!!  With this album, I used paper supplies I have had fo r a LONG time, and then added the flowers (recent purchase) and the corner punch (also recent purchase) to the mix!  I buy more "supplies" than I do things like stickers and die cuts - I get stuff I ca n use for more than one thing!  This album is for sale if you are interested, simply send me a message to get things started!       Lets get started with the challenges: In your list of things that needs to get done, find your oldest item - and get it done! Using supplies that you have had a long time - decorative edge scissors, templates, stamps - find a way to use ...

I have decided how much I really like the Project Life style albums - how you can document things on a daily basis - weekly basis - or whatever YOU want!  I usually will end up forgetting little details - but remember the larger picture; Project LIFE helps me to document it all - even the little things!   I don't spend a lot of money - not on any of the scrapbooking or card making I do!  I still have a ton of supplies that I have had for at least 20 years or more - bought when I was really huge into card making (before I knew what a scrapbook even was)!!!  With Project Life - I can use those old supplies, and create my own cards to go with what I have already bought out of my own stamps, scraps and items!  I can't wait to see what I come up with - as I am creating other things! With Project Life and Stampin' Up - I didn't spend a ton of money, and was able to get all of this: Total of 2 packs of page protectors to go with my album I bought earlier...

What does Project Life and Creative Paperclay have to do with each other?  Well, I recently got my order in from Stampin' Up - I had to order another pack of page protectors for my small album I am doing, and the insert is perfect to recreate with!  I am also working on some magnets made with stamps - and to do both of the things I am working on, you have to flatten out your Creative Paperclay product!  Tips are on the blog here - as well as a video here to help you out!  I will be sharing some fun projects on the Design Team blog this summer using recycled products - so make sure you check back often!   Thanks for stopping by, Lynda Jeffs Memories in Tyme and                                             Creative Paperclay Design Team ...

The new Stampin' Up catalog is out you can check it out here - make sure you get me a message if you want to be put on my mailing list for all of my specials, and discounts, some of which are mailing list ONLY idea's and specials just for you!!!  I can't wait to share with you some of the fun creations made with the amazing new papers and ink colors we have!  I will be having a fun shopping club coming up, more details to follow - make sure you check back often for more info!   When I start to create, I start with the things I have pinned to my Pinterest account first for a bit of inspiration!  Then - once I get the inspiration, I look at the supplies I have right now - before I end up shopping for more stuff I simply don't need RIGHT NOW!  If I have a project for things I buy - or enough paper that I would use on things, I will purchase it...  Along my journey of creating - I have discovered a few cost saving tips that might help you all out: Honest...

I usually do these posts at the middle of the month, today - changed now to the beginning of each month to help you (or me shall we say) get more done for the month ahead!  I will be having plenty of challenges through the month, and every Friday - we will have a mini post to talk about your plans for the upcoming weekend creative wise!!!  So, lets get started, grab your calendars, smart phones, tablets, pens/pencils, papers to write notes on....and lets get started in all of this "planning"!!!   Take a look at your calendar for the next 6 weeks, until the middle of July for anything that you need to plan out, make cards or gifts for, schedule on your calendar, make phone calls for or what have you!   Take a look at the next 3 months - until the end of August for anything else you need to get things done for!   Take a look at the next 6 months - until end of November - for any events, holiday's, birthdays, baby/bridal showers that you need to plan things ...
