PROJECT LIFE AND NEW CLASSES

Happy Tuesday everyone!!  It's time for Project Life again and that makes me HAPPY!! I had fun putting last week's spread together. There is some fun little art by me and collages of course. While doing this page it reminded me that for the next few months every week now my pages will be all about SUMMER TIME!!!  I'm hoping to find a variety of photos each week and not have every week be about swimming and reading library books, this could be hard to do though. So here is the full picture of the spread and then some close ups.
Here is the left side, I remembered to add the date this week and added the SUMMER TIME sticker also. This side is full of collages, some days it's just to hard to pick just one photo and I like that a group of them tells more of the story. See the baby piglets, they were barely 2 days old when we saw them, soooo cute and tiny they were. The journal cards are different this week, instead of just writing on them I did some artsy things on them ( will explain more about those at the end). The second card over with the stamped TAG on it is from my new stamps that my dear friend Susan sent me and surprised me with. She also sent me a homemade journal which was so nice of her. See the loom knit thingy from last week, I liked that it can show thru to this week also. Click on images to see better.
Here is the right side, almost all collages again. The top two are from a trip to the park, got some pretty pictures of Summer. The bottom beach one is from our first day at the beach and the water was FREEZING and took awhile for the kids to finally go in and enjoy it. I added to artsy cards to this side. The kids really liked the pictures this week and talked about all the fun they've had already.

I joined up for a CARD A DAY IN JUNE CHALLENGE OVER AT THE CREATIVE PLACE. Everyday this month you make a card any size you want, I went with a small size like she did. I liked the idea of using the journal cards and adding them into my PL each week. My plan is to make some just for fun and the others will be to go with a certain picture for the week. Like the waves/sun one above is to represent our day at the beach. This is a challenge because working on small things is not my thing. I like working on bigger papers, layouts etc. So far though this has been fun and I'm getting more at ease each day I make one. Could see me still doing this even after June is over. 

I also joined a free SCRAP CAMP at May Flaun's blog, need to put her link on my sidebar still. I stumbled across this and was excited because it's FREE and will keep me inspired this summer trying new things and making sure I get some creative time each day. The class just started yesterday and you can join anytime. Everyday is a new project and BPS is having a free community to share our projects/ideas with others. Let me know if you want to join in for this camp or even the CARD A DAY challenge also, it's never to late to jump in. I actually started this one late but caught up quick.

Hope everyone is enjoying their week so far. Thanks so much for visiting and always leaving sweet comments. They make my day and I love hearing from you. Enjoy the rest of your week and remember to let me know if you want to join these classes, would love having you with me.
