2014 Project Life Cover Page

 I am excited to get started with all my new kits. While I was organizing all my supplies I was inspired to put together the 1st page of the 2014 album.

 I plan to add a family picture to the cover page this year, and that blue square will be perfect for a 2014 instagram picture.

The never ending battle...

I think with most crafters the organization battle is never ending. For me it's part of the fun! I like everything in it's place, I use a planner (the kind you write in, not my phone) and I sketch things out before I start.

Project life is no different.... and it seems that I am always trying a new organization plan.
The problem may really be in my shopping.
I will admit it, I LOVE to buy project life stuff.
The above pictrue is just what I plan to use this year (yeah, this year) I also have an Olive Core Kit that I want to use for the vintage family photos.
So back to the organization.... I needed a way to use all 5, yep that's right 5, kits this year. I had seen other CTMH consultants use the Medium organizer for their PL stuff, so I jumped on the train.

It really is perfect!
 But I have said that before....in fact you can see my other organization solution here.
I spent a cold snowy afternoon combining all my kits...

I also will be using this Washi tape orginizer from Costco on my PL in 2014.

Now it's time to tell you all about the NEW CTMH Picture My Life collection. I am so excited and over the moon for this I hope I don't explode form excitement! Look for these products in 2014 as well as more of my project life!

The Aprons

 

My Nikon camera bit the dust. It was a sad, sad day I loved that camera. I knew for a while something wasn't right with it and so I sent it off. Nikon was kind enough to return it telling me it could not be fixed. After some thought and the chance to borrow a camera from a friend I decided to buy a new camera- This time I went with a Canon- 5DIII. She is a sweet little girl who takes wonderful pictures. The thing about it is, Fancy (that's her name, don't you name your camera?) cost A LOT of money.  So I need use my skills to earn some $$ to justify the cost. After some thought I decided on the Soul of the Girl Aprons.

Here are a few. I am going to list these on my Etsy store for just a little while. I plan to do a craft show, so if they don't sell in about 2 weeks I am going to take them off Etsy and save them for the show.

I am also working a few other items like journals and shelf displays with the Soul of the Girl on them. 

The very last one is not a girl, but a tree that was a special request.

You can go here to see these and a few more I have ready.

Hot Chocolate Blocks

 I am in full Christmas gift mode. I made these Hot Chocolate blocks, with a recipe on the back and I still need more to go!!

 I paired them with a set of measuring spoons for a simple and very affordable gift.

Ladies in Hats

These sweet little ladies in watercolor are from my summer art class. We first sketched images and then we turned those into watercolor.
I found most of my images on Pinterest.

I don't have much papercrafting art to show you right now. After stamp camp and catching up on my art class lessons I just haven't made much. I hope to get back at it soon, but don't be alarmed if my posts are sparse for awhile. I just need time to regroup, get over winter slump.

Blessings Board

In my art class we made a Blessings Board. What is a Blessings board you ask? It is an artful way of displaying things that make you happy, your blessings. I uses a large canvas and then covered it with some admit one tickets. After I covered the entire canvas with the tickets I then painted over it. I strung some elastic string very tight around it can hold all my blessings. I chose to use red as my base color so that I can see all my blessing from Christmas to Valentines day.
