Project Life Weeks 46-49

HAPPY NEW YEAR!! 

Now that it is 2014, let's get 2013 wrapped up!

Hold tight, there's going to be a lot of pictures. I give you our month of November. :)

Week 46: 

(Left side)

The start of this week was about an award my oldest son got from school, my very naughty youngest son and the celebration of the beginning of fall. I used a lot of ChicTags products again. The top right card is from a paper pad from Pebbles.

Here's one of those layouts that I just had a bunch of random pictures and I couldn't really get it together. You just have to let it go and move on.

Week 47:

(Left side)

This week we had an after school activity called Family Power night, where we read a book together and made a craft to go with it. A bunch of random pictures of the boys being silly made there way on this layout and a sweet picture of Chase with his best buddy walking into school.

(Right side)

At the end of this week, Chase's school hosted a night out at the Lincoln Children's Museum. The boys had so much fun playing with the other kids!

The only insert I used was this one I found HERE

Week 48:

(Left side)

The left side was all about my boys' room makeover that I posted about HERE

(Right side)

Here's another random one that I don't feel like it came together very good. There is only bits of journaling and I left the main journaling card blank because I didn't know what to write.

Week 49:

(Left side)

This side is mainly about my nephew Keegan's birthday party. Keegan is kind of a big deal. He was born at 25 weeks gestation and has been through a lot in his 1 year on earth. We were told many times that he would never make it to his first birthday. The picture of the right is of my husband who got to meet some Husker football players that came to visit the hospital he works at.

For this title card I used a card from the Kraft edition of Project Life. Amazon had a couple of kits on sale for $18 so I grabbed the Kraft one.

(Right side)

This side was about a puppy party that Chase had at school to celebrate selling more than 10 orders of cookie dough for a fundraiser. I used the invitation to make the title card and his puppy coloring sheet that all the kids colored for the party.  I also added a couple pictures from Thanksgiving.

I used a card from the "Fall" kit of Project Life to make an "I'm Thankful For".  I had Ben and Chase write their own so I have a little of their handwriting on my pages.

So that's all of our November weeks. Hopefully I will post the rest of our December pages soon so that I'm all caught up for the year!

Project Life weeks 43-45

2 posts in 1 week! Oh boy, it's going to snow! haha

Here's weeks 43-45!

Week 43:

(Left side)

This week we went to Southwest Fire Department's open house. Afterwards we headed to the park.

This was also the week that I got all my Christmas shopping done! (That's right. In October.) :)

I love these cute tags from ChicTags and K&Company.  Perfect size for Project Life.

This card I made using a K&Co Smashbook card. LOVE them.

Week 43:

(Right side)

This side was about the few days that Chase had off from school for "Fall Break". Then the rest is pictures from the "Havelock Fall Festival". I used the flyer to make a journaling card.

This card was made using an actual Project Life card. It's the first time I've actually bought one. This is from the "Fall" themed kit. 

Week 44:

(Left side)

This side I did a "photoshoot" with the boys in their Halloween costumes. I wanted to make sure I got some good pictures in case the weather turned bad by the time Halloween got here. It's Nebraska, ya never know. I seriously spent a total of $15 for BOTH boys' costumes. Homemade is best. I'm tellin' ya. :)

Again, I used one ChicTags's tags to put a little journaling on a picture. I had an old ticket from a spring game for the Huskers, so I used that to go with the football theme. 

(Right side):

This side is about our first Trunk or Treat. I love Trunk or Treats. So much safer than Trick or Treating. Anyways this was at a church and the fire department was taking their truck out so we tagged along.

This is also the week where we did our pumpkin carving. Used another card from the PL kit for journaling.

Another ChicTag tag. (Told you I loved them.) I had an old pumpkin sticker to use up and some small letter stickers to make a title card.

Week 45:

Halloween! (Left side)

This was our 2nd Trunk or Treat: at Chase's school.

Another ChicTag and an old sticker of a whistle made up the journaling card for this spread. Reed was a football, Chase was a football player and I was the referee. Get it? haha

This card I used an old tag and just glued it onto a piece of Halloween paper, and added some washi tape behind. I basically did the same thing as I did with the spread of our trip to the pumpkin patch. HERE  I just got out a bunch of papers that we Halloween themed and other tags, stickers, etc that matched. 

Cute little cluster to add to a photo.

(Right side):

The black "Happy" and "Halloween" cards I found through Pinterest HERE

This tag was on some piece of clothing. I have no idea from what (?) It's just something that I've hoarded away. LOL I attached it to a piece of paper and added washi tape.

So now that the year is almost over I have only managed to POST up until Halloween. Rest assured, I am completely caught up with actually DOING Project Life. I'm just a little slow at posting about it. :)

Until next time!

New Fall Mantel

Hello again! 

It's that time of year again. My FAVORITE time of year! 

I changed up my mantel yesterday and I have to say I'm really loving it!

Check it out:

I really didn't use much to change it up from my summer mantel. The only thing I bought was that cute little pumpkin. 

I also found this cute fall printable HERE

I used some jute to hang this rustic house number I found at Hobby Lobby last year. I've always used the number 4 to represent the 4 of us :)

Then I took out the turquoise book and added the cream book on top of the stack.

I got this beautiful jug (?) at Hobby Lobby a couple years ago. 50% off, of course. ;)

Then on this side I used the candle holder I had before and just wrapped it with some fall leaves that I got at the dollar store last year. The pumpkin on top used to be my mom's if I remember right. 

So that's it! I went back through my pictures and found this one of my fall decor from last year:

Stay tuned! I've been working on projects :)
