PROJECT LIFE, CLOUDS, ALL NEW ART !!!!

Here is my PL pages from last week, still caught up but just barely. I had to order pictures 3 different times, for some reason my full order wouldn't go thru online. Still not sure what happened but 3 trips up there and I'm still missing one picture. For now though it's done. This was a birthday week for us and some fun outings. Kept it simple due to all the ordering issues. I did add an extra insert that's from Walmart.
The left side is all about Summer's birthday and going bowling. The right side is  my insert, fun pictures of the kids from our outings. Love the Target red circle pictures, came out cute!
Here is the back side of the insert on the left, it's all about Sienna's 4th birthday party. We had so much fun there with her. She was happy to see us and we met John Dema, such a cutie!!
The right side is about our visit to a local park that has BIG ROCKS and a BOUNCY BRIDGE to run and jump on. We missed this last year so it was nice to be back. Renee could even climb up on the big rock this time, she had no fear doing it but I sure did watching her. The bottom right hand corner is where my missing picture will be going. So that's another week of PL, hope next week is easier.
I went out and enjoyed the beautiful morning sun yesterday and took some pictures. I just love days like this when the sky is full of sun and clouds, just makes my day start on a HAPPY NOTE!! Sharing a few more of these below for you, hope you enjoy us much as I do.
this one is my favorite picture from them all
wouldn't you just love to jump in those clouds
here is a little something I worked on last night. Lately my art has been playing with fabric, LOVE LOVE THIS!! My mom gave me all kinds of scraps and it's been fun mixing them up and creating things. I have more of these to show you later in the week. The next picture is another cute thing I did with the scraps. This new way of creating is making me VERY HAPPY!! Thanks mom!
On the left side is a little fabric frame with some words about my Nana written inside. The fabric/colors remind me of her. The right side is just a collage of the scraps. LOVE LOVE these pages. Click on the image to see better. More of these to come, hope you enjoy them!

Hope everyone is doing well and enjoying the last day of July today. Can you believe how fast this month went by. It's also been pretty hot for us, making me lazy and wanting to stay inside with the AC on and reading. Really wishing for a loooong cool break to come and relieve us and some rain also. We have our town's fair coming up this weekend, can't wait to get me some french fries and fresh lemonade, SOOOO YUMMY!! Enjoy your week and stay cool or warm wherever you are.

  1. Oh my goodness, it looks like I've missed a bunch of your blogposts! Sorry about that! Love the photo of your kids with the deer - so sweet! I'm thinking about the people in Colorado too - saying prayers for them. Loving your project life pages! And your art journal - those fabric scrap pieces are awesome!

    1. Hi Michelle,
      Thanks for visiting and catching up on my recent posts. I know you've been busy so thanks. Sending big prayers for the Colorado families still, they will need it. Loving this new obsession with fabric right now.

  2. Dawn that fabric flower is gorgeous what are you going to do with it? As is your art journal-brilliant idea, I love seeing and feeling different textures. As usual your PL is fabulous such a great way of memory keeping.. We spent yesterday at the doctors and hospital as joe has broken a bone in his hand, will find out today if he needs surgery. Ha wait until you find out how he did it, definitely a story for my PL.
    Now here's something I always wondered-homemade lemonade, is it fizzy or flat like cordial. Enjoy the fair
    Xx

    1. Hi Linda,
      Thanks for visiting and glad you like my flower. I'm not sure what to do with it yet, might need to hang it up somewhere in the house?? Still might put some words on it too. I'm so sorry about Joe's hand, how awful. That's the stories that should be in PL your right!!

      For the lemonade it's not fizzy so I guess flat. Each cup is freshly made, that's what I like about it, FRESH!! It's not fizzy just flat.

    1. Hi mom,
      How cute to see you here, so glad you shared the fabric scraps with me. We both know scraps of any kind will come in handy some day. I keep all my paper scraps in little drawers and love to use them. I bet you know the story for each one, that's what I love about using them. THANKS, HUGS!!

  6. Oh yeah - thanks for the shout out to nana - couldn't read it well but I get the idea it was about her clothes and you borrowing them? - she was a snazzy dresser that's for sure - never had to worry about her not looking pretty - :) mom

    1. Thought, you'd like that one. They do remind me of Nana and her soft but snazzy clothes. She always looked so pretty, like a doll.

  7. Love, love your project life pages. Seeing your pages is what keeps me inspired to do mine. A real town fair, that is one of my all time wishes if I ever get to go to America, go to a real fair and eat real french fries and real lemonade. Everytime I read your blog I get to add something else to my Wish List for when I get to visit, still buying lotto tickets by the way LOL.
    Love me :-)

    1. Hi Tracey,
      I'm glad my PL can inspire you with yours. I love to read your PL pages, full of goodies and cute pictures. I would love to take you to a fair when you visit, still playing the lottery here also. Why does it have to be so hard to get the winning numbers, dang!!
      One day my friend we will meet!

    1. Lynette,
      Thanks so much for your kind words, so happy to hear that. A big part that keeps me going is all the sweet comments like yours that everyone leaves me. It keeps me motivated and excited about it each week. I've never been committed to ANYTHING for this long, lol
      Now I can't imagine life without PL in it. Thanks for kind words on my art too, more is coming!

  10. Hi Dawn what a wonderful post. You've preserved all those lovely memories. I love those photos inside the red circles.
    All your sky pictures have come out great. Whenever I try to take them I hate those electric lines that come in the frame.But I like the way yours have come out.Maybe I should take more of sunsets and sunrises.
    Your fabric frame is so creative.Those buttons look cute on the fabric scraps. The flower too looks very pretty. I too have ideas to mix paper and fabric in my art.
    Have a wonderful weekend. Yes, even we are wishing for a much cooler weather. I feel drowsy all the time.
    Susan
