Craft Fair This Saturday!!!!!

Good Morning! I'm putting together some last minute projects for the upcoming Craft Fair this Saturday. I made a few more Breast Cancer canvases and this time I used some papers from my Planner Society Kits. I save just about everything from these kits because they are soooo gorgeous!! I even save the packaging and use them on my project life pages. Here are the canvases I just finished up this weekend.

These were so fun to put together and I love how bright and cheery they are - a perfect gift for a survivor or anyone going through Breast Cancer. 

Please stop by this Saturday if you're in the area - this fair is huge and it would be a great time to pick up some Holiday Gifts!

Project Life with The Planner Society

Hello Bloggers ... Happy Friday and here's to a long weekend!! I have a few days off so I'm catching up on some crafting. I finished another project life page with July's The Planner Society Kit. I have created a PL page every month this year with the papers from The Planner Society Kits and they are all so pretty. The background for my page this week includes papers, packaging, stickers and a piece from one of the GORGEOUS bags the products arrive in. Here's my page. 

These papers might be my favorite so far (I may say that each month though!!) The colors are fresh and summery and just so lovely!! Here's close ups of the cards. This title card is very simple ... a die cut from the kit, a part of a tag and the dates typed out on my vintage typewriter.

The next card is simple too - I added some Tim Holtz Small Talk stickers for my journaling. How pretty is this floral paper!!

Here's more close ups. My pics are all printed on my Instax printer and stapled onto the cards. The card next to my photo is one of the 3x4 cards that are included in the kit.

The journaling on my next card is on a post it that is also included in the kit. Seriously - these are AWESOME planner kits!! 

Here's the last few cards. Both of these cards have more die cuts on them from the kit.

This is the last card with more GORGEOUS paper!!

Thanks for stopping by today and I hope you have a great Labor Day Weekend!! I will return next week with a new project with the latest Noel Mignon Kit. This month's Noel Mignon kit is jaw dropping!! Stay tuned! 

Decorative Bags for a Project Life Page

Hello and Happy Friday!! I wanted to share a project life page I recently created using the decorative bags from June's The Planner Society kits. The bags our goodies come in are WAY too pretty to not use, so I cut them up and used them as pocket cards for my page. Here's the whole page.

The lovely floral bags made great backgrounds for my photos and journaling. Here's close ups of each card starting with my title card. 

I added some washi tape to the next card to cover a spot that I ripped when I peeled off the seal on the bag. The small floral patterned paper behind the photo below is packaging from June's Kit.

The photos were printed with my Instax printer. More packaging was used behind the photo below.

Here's the last few close ups. 

The mirrored embellishments make great accents on the photos and the cards.

This page was fun to create and I made use of the entire kit! It also makes a perfect second page to a previous PL page I created with the same kit. Here's a look at them together. 

Thanks so much for stopping by today and I hope you all have a wonderful weekend!! I'll be back next week with a new PL page using the latest Daily Diary Kit from Noel Mignon!

Ciao for now!

Project Life with June's The Planner Society Kits

Well, Hello Friday!! So glad to be close to the end of the work week - just 8 work hours and here comes the weekend!! 

I finished another Project Life page this week using June's The Planner Society Kits.  These kits are amazing for all your planner needs and with the leftovers I create a Project Life page each month. I love the bright, summery colors of this month's kit. Here's my page.

How BEAUTIFUL are the papers in this kit!! I'm in love!! The photos I used were printed on my Instax printer - Don't they look like mini polaroids. Here's some close ups.

The word phrases are Tim Holtz Small Talk Stickers. I LOVE these - they are so versatile and I use them all the time. Here's my title card, including a gold mirror embellishment from the kit.

I added some enamel dots on a few of the cards. I love the pops of yellow in this collection.

I got silly and added some hat stickers to Brewster and my cat Lilly.

Thanks for stopping by today and I hope you have an awesome weekend!! See you next week with more PL pages!!

Project Life Continues

Good Monday Morning! Remember a few weeks ago when I said I'd share a Project Life page and then last week I said the same thing? Well today I'm finally getting my butt in gear to share. I swear, this adorable bundle of a puppy is quite time consuming ... and I'm loving every minute of it! I'm so thankful my hip allows me to keep up with her. If I can just get my opposite ankle to heal I'll be 100%. I have achilles tendonitis in my left ankle (hip surgery on the right side). PT is trying hard to work this out so I keep plugging away. Unfortunately there's no way to rest my ankle between work, puppy, lots of stairs in my house and life. Anyway I joined my local YMCA and I'm adding weight training and more cardio to my routine. I hope to continue to lose weight and feel stronger so I can keep up with Lola! 

Back to my Project Life page. I used The Planner Society's May Kits to create a page for Week 11, 2016 page. TPS main kit comes with gorgeous double sided papers. I make a monthly divider for my planner then use the remaining papers to create a PL page. I have done this each month this year. This shows how versatile these kits are. Here's my page.

These pics are from this past year's Crop on the Cape - an annual get together that has become a treasured tradition. Here's close ups of the cards starting with the title card. 

I used silver glitter tape behind the word cut out on the frame. How cute is the birdie paper from the kit?!

The cardstock stickers and puffy stickers from the kit are perfect embellishments for the cards. 

Here's a few more close ups. The included "Hello Today" card is a perfect fit for the pocket. 

Here's the final card. The journaling strips were typed out on my vintage typewriter! 

Well, I finally shared my page!! I feel like it was ages ago that I created it. I am continuing to create PL pages and you will see more of them starting next month. I will be creating PL pages with the super awesome Noel Mignon Kits and the next Daily Diary and Classic Kits are screaming summer!! I can't wait to dive in!!

Thanks for stopping by and I will see you tomorrow with my last layout using Noel Mignon's "Happy Days" Classic Kit! Have a great Monday!

Project Life Page

Happy Friday Everyone! Are you're gearing up for the weekend? I'm savoring my last weekend before returning to work next week. I have been very fortunate that my surgery went well. I only had a few minor setbacks but overall I did really well. I'm still sore from PT but getting stronger all the time. I will be joining my local YMCA soon and hope to continue to lose weight and get in shape! I have LOVED my time off and have created quite a bit and caught up with my planners. Love my creative time sooooo much!!

My latest Project Life page was created by using several papers from my previous The Planner Society Kits! It was so easy to match leftover papers from multiple kits to create the background for my page. Here's the whole page.

These pups were born in April and one of them will be my Mom's next week. I was hoping another one would be available but they're all spoken for. They are sweet pups and the pup's Moms are very gentle and great with everyone. Here's the title page. I used doilies to add some texture and to provide a place for some script stickers. I stitched through the script stickers. It's been awhile since I used my sewing machine - I love the look of sewing on my projects.

The journaling strips were typed out on my vintage typewriter.

All the photos were printed out on my home printer and I used the Collect App as well.

I like this pic of my Mom with one of the adorable pups!

Here's close ups of the last few cards.

I love how this page turned out and the papers from TPS kits are so pretty and great quality! 

Thanks for stopping by. Have a great weekend and Please stop by next week for more craftiness!! 

Planner Kits are not just for Planners!!

Happy Friday Everyone! I hope you are all doing well! I have had a great week - two Physical Therapy sessions that went well, although I'm definitely sore!! I've been walking on my local track - not much, but it's a start and it feels great!! I'm eating better and determined to get fit and stronger. I have a few more weeks to savor before returning to work and I've been spending them crafting as much as I can.

I want to share another Project Life page I created using The Planner Society March Kits. March's TPS kits are so bright and cheery and made my planner pages so pretty. I have created a PL page with the leftovers from each month's kit and they are some of the prettiest pages. Here's the whole spread using the March kits followed by lots of closeups.

The coordinating die cut shapes, puffy stickers and regular stickers made creating this page easy and fun.

Here's the title card. I typed the dates on white cardstock with my vintage typewriter.

I especially LOVE the planner girl stickers! I can't get enough of them!! 

I love this pic of me and Brewster. He is my parent's neighbor's dog who visits regularly. He's great company and makes everyone smile!

Here's the final card. The die cut shapes included in the main kit are just too cute! 

Thanks so much for stopping by and I hope you have a great weekend. I'm working on a mixed media tag for next week and will also have another layout to share as well!! Thanks for letting me share my creativity with you!! See you soon!

Project Life with The Planner Society Kit

I am back today to share a Project Life Page I created this week with papers and embellishments from April's The Planner Society Kits. I am a HUGE fan of TPS kits for decorating my planners, and I make sure I create a PL page each month with the leftovers from these awesome kits. Each month I say "this kit is my favorite" and this month just might be my favorite so far!! The colors are so pretty and everything coordinates beautifully. Here's the whole page, followed but close ups of the cards. 

Here's my title card - the gorgeous "Hello Beautiful" card from The Planner Society is so pretty and great quality.

 I used the Collect App to print my photos. This month's Planner Society Kit included word and phrase stickers from Pink Fresh studio. These stickers are self adhesive and slightly dimensional but not too bulky. 

My kitty was very clingy as I rehabbed from my surgery. 

Also included in our April's kit was a package of seriously adorable die cuts, my FAV is this dress die cut which I added a word sticker to. 

We usually receive a post it note pad with each month's kit and this month's is super cute. I used the bow post it on one of the cards below and I added another phrase sticker to it. 

Here's my final few cards. I used another die cut and more phrase stickers.

I love how this page came out and it's so easy with all the products from The Planner Society Kits. 

Thanks so much for stopping by. I have another PL page to share using The Planner Society Kit from March. Stay tuned!!

Have a great rest of the week!!
