Every{day} Life has begun

This year Nicole and I have decided to do a Project 52 instead of a project 365.  Gina Marie Huff at Weeds and wildflowers has made a new collection which will work perfectly for this project.  It is called Every{day} Life.   This year she is doing a collaboration with Cinzia Loosemore and it is fabulous.  I look forward to the new series.

You can pick up the free kit here.

Bare Necessities is a Free kit from Jo Hanna to celebrate the opening of her new store, Pixelpress.nl.  The kit is full of well, the “bare necessities” one needs to create or finish pages.  It contains basic papers, frames, word art, ribbon, twine, stitching, fasteners of all kinds, and two alphas.  It is that perfect “Go to” kit.

I made two pages from Bare Necessities. First, Connor is nonstop energy when he comes Grandma’s house to play.

Next, Alex and Grandpa enjoy a nice cup of tea with her “breakable set” of dishes.

Nicole's 2010 365-Photo-A-Day Project is Done

Nicole and I finished our joint effort. Her 2010 365 book is done.  It is surprising how well it worked, creating a 365 book while living 1/2 a continent to an ocean away from each other.  You just got to love the internet. Here are her book covers.  All we need is a final edit and off to the printers it will go.

nj-2010covers-for-web

Her back page is a list of the cities she was in each day during 2010.  Unbelievable!!

For the covers, I just used the Sweet & Simple Pages - March '10 - ¾ templates since they coordinated so well with the pages.

Happy scrapping.

I like the sepia for this page.  It softens the tone a bit.

Life on the Go

Nicole was in a different country every month last year.  Oftentimes, she was in more than one country each month.  The other day she told me that a common rule of thumb regarding jet lag is that it takes one day for each hour difference in time zones traveled to recuperate.  I figure she will catch up from 2010 jet lag some time next June. But then again, she will travel even more this year. Oh dear.

To make this page I made a very versatile template from Splendid Fiins at Jessica Sprague.com.

The travel elements are from a darling kit by Cosmo Cricket. Joy Ride Candy Candy can be purchased at the Cosmo Cricket store at Jessica Sprague.com.
