Bad, Bad Blogger....

Project Life Tag Swap, is something I have been involved in for a few months now and I must admit, that I am really enjoying it. It makes you step outside your comfort zone a little!

So as usual the current challenge is to make a 3x4 Tag (obviously suitable to fit into your Project Life Album) using the following Ingredients:

• 1 x 3x4 Kraft Card Base 
• 1 x Stamp
• 1 x Length of Washi Tape
• Optional : 1 x Flair Buttor Button??

 I love anything using Kraft Cardstock, I think it's because it goes with anything - any colour, any pattern paper! 

 

 So I have used all the ingredients as required, I didn't have 12 of the same flair buttons, but that doesn't matter as they are going to 12 different ladies!

 

Below are myTags that I have made previously for the Christmas Swap.

 

 

Thanks... Jules xx

Blog Makeover...

 

A huge big "Thank You" to Kellie over at Give A Girl a Blog for giving my blog a much, much needed makeover!

 

So, what do you think????

 

Even though I have been Blogging for many,many years, I am capable of doing some of the simple things like adding photos and things but when it comes to doing the technical side of things, I am so useless. 

 

Make sure you go over and check out Kellie's Blog Give a Girl a Blog,

she has so much going on over there from Scrapbooking, Project Life, Smash Books and Daybooks, oh and she also designs her own stamps!

So make sure you have a look at her online Shop

 

Thanks...Jules xx

 

 

HAPPY NEW YEAR....

 

Goodbye 2012 and Hello 2013

December Daily - Day One to Day Ten

 

As mentioned in one of my previous posts, I am doing December Daily this year for the first time and I must admit that so far I am enjoying it and sort of staying up to date with it all!

 

So I am certainly no Ali Edwards as my style is soo traditional, with lots of embellisments, papers and stickers for my titles. But must admit I am loving using up some of those lettering stickers that I have had for years!

 

I have also managed to have photos for each day, so far, even though some days I

 have been at work and nothing has really happened! I do have a few fillers up my sleeve also!

 

Coming from a house with no kids and animals, I thought I would struggle a bit but fingers crossed, it all falls into place!

 

Day One

 

Day Two

 

Day Three

 

Day Four 

 

Day Five

 

Day Six

 

Day Seven

 

Day Eight

 

Day Nine

 

Day Ten

 

Thanks for stopping by, if you are also doing December Daily I would love to see how your's is coming along and how different it looks to mine, so leave a comment with a link to your blog so I can pop in and say Hi!

 

Thanks...Jules xx

 

 



 

 

 



Project Life 2012 update ...

 

 Lots of weeks to share in this post from Week 17 to Week 23.

I have been slowly adding my journaling and filling in the gaps over the past few weeks of my Project Life 2012.

Hopefully I will be able to stay ontop of it and only have the last few weeks of December to do going into 2013 (well that's the plan!)  

 

My photos arn't the greatest but here are a few more weeks from the first half of the year!
 

 Week 17 - Anzac Day fell in this period.

 

 Watching the prade in Cooroy - love going to the smaller towns to watch them march and Anthony loves looking at all the old cars!!

My Step Dad Alf and Anthony's Dad marching...

Week 18

 

 First full week at home since closing my store...feeling a bit lost and spend most of the time working on my new Website...

 

Week 19

 

 Week 20

 Mother's Day fell in this week and we spent the day with both my Mum and Anthony's at Southbank in Brisbane.

Week 21

 

Week 22

 

 

Week 23




Thanks...Jules x

December Daily 2012

So for years now I have seen December Daily's done by Ali Edwards  and thought it is a fantastic project but never gotten around to doing one plus when you don't have children, you think it will be hard to fill in the pages and gaps with non related children photo's!

But anyway, this year I have decided to give it a go!

For the past few months I have been stalking and researching past December Daily ideas from blogs and Pinterest - December Daily (my board), there is so much out there from so many talented crafters!

So armed with all this information and ideas, I have been buying up big (lol) of anything Christmas that I think will be suitable to add to my DD album.

I have decided to go with the new Sn@p Binder from Simple Stories and also I will be using the Handmade Holidays papers and products from Simple Stories.

With December well and truely under way I thought I would share some of my December Daily with you.

The cover of my Album

Who remembers these 3D Stickers from Jolee's Boutique?? I found a few Christmas ones among my stash that I have be saving for years and finally I have a use for some of them!

Love how my album cover turned out!

 

I have used lots of different embelishments and products from lots of Etsy Stores, here are a few of my favourites at the moment!

Project Life: Weeks 12 - 16

So, it's been over a month since I last added a post, gee time really does seem to get away from you, especially at this time of the year!

 

We've had a few busy weeks recently, we had family visiting from Melbourne and I recently returned to work - even though I am only doing 4 days on and 4 days off, there seems that there is something always to do!!

 

Anyway, I have been plodding along trying to get up to date with my Project Life, and honestly I'm not doing too bad, sure I have a few gaps here and there but photos are nearly up to date.

 

Here are my Weeks 12 - 16

Terrible weather here on the Sunshine Coast with some bizarre major flash flooding around the Coast, including Sixth Avenue, where my little shop used to be! (Scary Stuff!)

These photos on the right hand side are at my back door into the shop, it was scary watching the water creeping closer and closer. Lucky for me the rain eventually started to ease and never quite made it through the door!!

 The view from the front door of my shop onto Sixth Avenue Maroochydore.

 

The photos on the left hand side of this layout are from the internet of some of the other flooding around the Coast.


Week 13.

My Birthday on the 26th March - lots of presents and flowers and out to dinner with friends.

Week 14 - Easter

Good Friday was spent down the Gold Coast and then home for the rest of the long weekend!
Lots of yummy, naughty food!

Week 15

 

Week 16 

 Last week of Trading as a Retail Shop...
 very busy with closing down, final classes and then packing it all up and moving it home!

 Getting it all out was the easy bit, find room at home is a whole new story!

 

Thanks Jules xx
