Memories to Moments: Page Protectors!

Hi Everyone,
 How much are you loving Becky Higgins Scrapbooking Systems! I'm almost ready to start my 2012 album, I just have a few things I'm finishing up.
 Wendy and I have been having our own "Project Life Tuesday Mornings" Wendy's little girl is in school for 4 hours on Tuesday Morning and My Husband is off on Tuesdays so I take a few items to her house and we work on our albums. It has been wonderful!

 I now follow EVERYTHING project life. I've "liked" Becky Higgins on facebook, I check our her blog all the time, any place anyone is taking project life I'm there!
 So last week sometime Becky Higgins shared with all of us that she has designed new page protectors that will be coming out in July.
 I'm loving all of them!

 Here are what they look like: Design: H, J and I

And then she has come out with these! These are 8x10 in Horizontal and Vertical 5x7 Horizontal and Vertical and then 8.5 x 11 in Horizontal and Vertical! 

There are also going to be 6x12 envelopes and small cd envelopes.   

Awesome!!!! that is all I have to say, I'm loving this new world!

Project Life Day 5 - Stamping

This is our last day of my Project Life Series, I hope that everyone has been able to see what an amazing tool Project Life can be!

The most wonderful thing about Project Life and the thing that spoke to me in the very beginning of researching this "product" was the ablity to make it MY OWN! To make it whatever I wanted.

As I have gotten into Stampin' Up, you guys know that I love the paper, and I've been getting into stamps more, and I have been wanting to find  a way to use these things in my scrapbooking life.

Project life has now allowed me to do so.

Here is how I've been stamping on my scrapbooking pages

Episode: 189

Head on over to Wendy's to see her use

I will see you guys next week, have a great weekend

Project Life Day 4 - The Paper

Hi Everyone,

Are you enjoy this Project Life Series? What do you think so far? Doesn't it just seem so reasonable!

One of the other great things that I love about "Project Life" is the fact that I really don't HAVE to buy a single thing, but if you have nothing and you want to start Scrapbooking go buy the core kit!

You can go here: Becky Higgins Project Life and see all the
Project Life Products. 

One of the core kits looks like this: 

You get everything you need to creat Project Life Layouts for only $24.99.

When you purchase this at Amazon if you spend $25.00 you get FREE SHIPPING!

This means if you are starting fresh and you have nothing all you need to is buy a set of page protectors and a core kit.

For $50.00 you will have enough supplies to create and put together your first year scrapbook!

That is amazing.

However if you are like me and you have a whole room full of scrabooking paper, you don't need to buy a single thing.

Lets take a look at how I have been able to use all the amazing paper I already have to create Project Life Pages.

Episode 187 (In the vide I say I have two layouts, the video was too long so you will have to come back tomorrow to see the second Video)

I will have one more video for you guys this week regarding Project Life and then remember to come back every Monday for my Memories to Moments Monday and I will keep sharing with everyone this new world of srapbooking!

Project Life Day 3 - The Photos

Project Life Day 2 - The Basic Layout

Hi Everyone,
 Welcome to my second day of information on Project Life and how I'm doing it.
 I wanted to share some of the basic page protectors and layouts with you guys and how you could use these on everyday layouts even if you were not using the page protectors.

 Episode 186








 Here is what one of the basic layout looks like, or I guess the one I have found most people use.

And hear are the other layouts. You can use these to get some ideas on how to just lay your pictures out on your paper.

I'm going to include a link to Becky Higgins which is the creator of Project Life and she has a great 5 minute video that explain what Project Life is.

Owl Congrats Card

Welcome to Stampin' Up Friday,

Today I have a super cute Owl Card I'm putting together. This card is for a really special friend of mine.
She is having twins, and its really special because she has been trying to have a baby for the last 4 years, and she has had serveral misscarriages.
She has always been so strong in her faith and she has always stayed so postive!
I think she is an amazing women to have walked through the storms she has walked through and still stayed strong and she has always believed that God would bless her with a baby girl and a baby boy! And now in less than a month she will be holding 2 beautiful babies and I'm beyond excited for her!
Here is a short video of the card I made.

Scrapbooking the memories away .....

Hi Everyone,

 I'm just checking in with you guys! I had a busy weekend with all the blog hops and stuff! But it was super fun! Remember to come back next Month for the May Hop!

 I'm deep in Scapbooking Mode right now, I've been telling you guys that I'm getting ready to redo my scrapbooking style and in order for me to get started on this years scrapbook (2012) I'm really pushing myself to finish last years Scrapbook (2011) and I'm up to July right!

 This month I'm really focus on that, so because of that your not going to be seeing too many "Projects" from me.
 I have a few more scrapbooks to share with you guys (which is really why I've revamped my scrapbooking style) and so you will be seeing some scrapbooks and you will also be hearing me talk a little bit about why I'm changing the way I scrapbook.
 Please hang in there with me this month as I push to get last year scrapbook completed and I will for sure be checking in with you guys and showing your my progress!
 I was going to have a Mother's Day Card Series this month, but I've decided not to do any card series this month.
 Thanks everyone for understanding!

Who can believe that we are in April  already? This year is flying by, which I don't know it might be a good thing because it will feel like Fall and Winter gets here sooner (Which is my fav)

However it might be a bad thing if you are like me and don't want to see your little ones get older and grow up!

Here is how it works:
1.link your youtube channel here. I will subscribe.
2.Subscribe to my blog and my Youtube channel, I will link mine first.
3. Comment on my channel and a video of your choice, I will do the same.
4. Repeat #3 to others in link party.
5. Return the favor of #4

This party is for crafters of all kinds. If I see you do not make craft videos you will be removed. If you do not subscribe or comment you will be removed. This party is over at the end of the month and a new one will start on the 1st of each month.

It will want to link a picture on your channel, So you may need an avatar or picture
