Hello Project Life....KRAFT!!! I am so behind on posting these pages, can't believe 3 weeks already since last time. Michael's finally got their PL stock in and the very next day with my coupon in hand I went in and bought the KRAFT kit, LOOOOOVE IT!!! These cards are so perfect for me, the colors, designs, words, EVERYTHING about them. I also got the right design page protectors, so happy to have these back in my album again. Remember you can click on the images to see better.
This was our first week together after 2 weeks of kids camping events. At the last minute Summer went on a short camping event, missed her but not like the first one. I love that Sienna lost her first tooth in time for me to use that SMILE card on the bottom left corner, she is so dang cute. That week my nieces were over more then usual, only pictures of Ryan but Camryn was here too. Sienna and Colt love playing with the girls. I also started my T time on Tuesdays that week and wrote about it.
This next week proved that the KRAFT kit was again perfect for not only me but for dear daughter Summer. I dedicated the whole right side to her, why do you ask. Well, it started with a fall off her bike and seeing how that blue bummer card would be perfect for it. Then while reading thru the rest of the cards with words noticed that a lot of them are what she says. So that week I took random pictures of her and used my favorites on the bottom row. I haven't done any writing yet because I like the words and pictures to stand out. She loves this page too, yep, this is her FOR REAL, SERIOUSLY, I"M JUST SAYIN, LET ME EXPLAIN, I was laughing so hard when doing this. But it was a bummer about her poor knee, we stayed home for several days and let her heal.
The right side of this week is pretty awesome too. Sienna lost her second tooth days after the first one, love that toothless smile she has now. She also made her first mandala I shared a couple weeks ago. I also cut to fit one of my painted coffee mugs inspired for my T on Tuesday's.
This last week was filled with summer goodness and birthday celebrations. Sorry that the left side is cut off, didn't notice that till now. Click on the image to read and see pictures better. I love our little birthday collage I made in the bottom right corner, had to squeeze it all in there.
Well, it feels good to be caught up here posting them, hope to not get so far behind again. This weeks pages will be all about back to school and using my new mini kits from Nancy, YIPPEEE!!
Happy early Birthday Nancy, can't wait till you come back to church!!
The kids and even Sienna have had a good week so far at school. Each day is getting better and more routine for them. I LOVE my quiet house again, I miss the kids bunches believe me but oh to have lunch in peace again is wonderful. I am working on a chore/errand/exercise/art schedule for myself to make good use of my time while they are at school. So far it's going ok, went to the track each day and ENJOYED it so much, eating yummy veggies from the garden at lunch is my favorite, just finding my way again just as they are. Thanks so much for all the sweet comments you left on my previous post. I still can't get over that one from 5 years ago, in 5 more years only Sam will be left in school, weird and sad. Thank goodness for Sienna and Colt to keep me busy and in the school spirit.
Well, the weather is getting hot for our end of August and the weekend is upon us. Take care and enjoy the long holiday for us in the states. Thanks again for being so awesome! HUGS!
My Big Picture
I liked how you took photos that would be perfect for the sayings. I would never have thought of that. When I make a book page, I find the images, then the words, if I use them.
ReplyDeleteThe tribute to the mandala and the T posts were so sweet. I can see where both these blog hops have influenced your life. And I'm thrilled you were able to catch up on your photos.
BTW, I love that montage (or whatever it's called) of you and hubby's birthdays. That is really awesome.
Lots to enjoy here! I especially like the cloud pictures, the notes/journaling, and the tea cup.
ReplyDeleteOh wonderful work Dawn, I am so tempted to get into project life, thanks for the inspiration!
ReplyDeletewonderful milestones and memories.
ReplyDeleteHi Dawn! The Kraft kit really does suit you well! Your layouts are looking great! I especially love your photos of the sky - so beautiful! Congrats on your birthday photo being chosen at the beautiful world site too - how cool is that! Your last mandala is gorgeous - amazing colors and details! Have a great long weekend my friend!
ReplyDeleteSorry havent been on much, love the stories and pics. Kids are growing uo too fast. Lol. Keep up fun stuff and enjoy bits of quiet thoughts. Lol xox.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fantastic way to make a journal, love the idea with cards. Thanks for the sweet comment on my blog.

Dawn, thanks for your latest comment and questions. You are so sweet I didn't want to wait till your September post to answer them.
ReplyDeleteFirst, for two years I used a spiral bound journal that I got in the mail. I covered it with gesso, or paint, and anytime I had extra paint on my brush, or needed to clean my stamps, I used it to wipe off my brush or leave a ghost print. Last December, I used the final pages in the book. I used two pages (side by side) for each month.
I knew I was going to need a new "book," so I searched high and low for something I already owned, and not finding anything suitable, I decided to cut old file folders in half and use one for two months. That gave me four months to each file folder. Sadly, I don't care for this look, and it limits what I can do with the days. The calendar I bought this year was much smaller because I needed to get it on one side of the file folder. NO fun hearts, etc this year, since size was the determining factor.
I write something daily, usually at the end of the day. If I didn't, I'd get so far behind I'd never catch up. At the end of the second month (second side of the file folder), I add it to a three ring binder. I hope that answers your questions, and thanks for asking.
BTW, you should click on Kate's name after she posts the linky link, and see what others are doing with their calendars. It will give you a good idea that mine are far INFERIOR to all the rest of the ones being made.
Hi Dawn! I absolutely love your PL pages and how you used the KRAFT here! Kraft is one of my favorites when I scrap!!!!! I hope all is well with you and I was happy to hear that the first week of school went well. Yes, Anne starts her second week tomorrow. I can't believe how fast the summer flew by!!! Katie seems to be doing good up at college, too! I hope Summer's knee continues to heal and I will keep her in my prayers. As always, thank you SO MUCH for stopping by my blog and leaving such thoughtful and nice comments. You are such a wonderful person, my friend!

ReplyDeleteI totally love the Kraft kit, make your PL pages look relax, natural and lots of cheerful summer colors :). The orange & red colors are great for Fall too, wouldn't it?. Sienna toothless smile is the sweetest. I don't like the pain when the tooth become loose though, ouch!.
ReplyDeleteWhere are the days going? You have 3 posts and I'm seeing them only today. Love to see your PL photos again. What is a Kraft kit? How is it different from the usual cards? Isn't it nice to get the right wordings and the pictures for them?
ReplyDeleteSam looks so small in that haircut picture. Your sky photo is looking awesome as usual
Hugs
