Everyday Life Project Life Layout by Alyssa McGrew

Everyday Life Project Life Layout

When I created this page, I knew that I was starting with lots of imperfect photos.  Sometimes I tend to shy away from using blurry photos, but in Project Life, I just go with it and use them anyway.  

Everyday life is sometimes imperfect, and the point of PL is to record that everyday life.  Next time you create an everyday life layout of PL spread, consider including a few imperfect photos.  Someday, you'll look back and be glad you included them.

The detail and care Connie put into these tags is simply delightful. I love how she stamped the cursive wording on top of the fabric. These red and ecru ticking tags are fabric permanently adhered to cardstock so using them in crafting projects is simple and offers endless possibilities. 

She hung our rustic vintage inspired keys by a jump ring from the tag and used our glitter deer and brown seam binding to top off her lovely pieces.

I really like the beautiful array of neutral colors and embellishment Jenifer in this recent trip to Yosemite National Park. The shop is full of kraft colored items and Jenifer did a great job mixing and matching them.

Curtsey Boutique
Picking Apples

It cooled down here a bit in Georgia this week, the first whisperings of Fall. This caused my husband to ask when the apples would be ready for picking.  I'm sure they are ready now and what could be sweeter than this 1910 image from The Baldwin Primer?

As always feel free to use for PU, S4H, or CU so long as you link back to the blog.

Have a great weekend,

Shabby Chic Card with Jess Mutty + New Release - Glitter Clothes Pins, Painted Buttons & Mini Ruffle Flowers

Shabby Chic Romantic Card
Curtsey Boutique Designer
Jess Mutty

I'm not usually one for pastels but there is something about all the romantic Curtsey Boutique embellishments that makes me want to play with soft colors and everything pretty. 

I used a ton of stuff on here.  The fabric in the middle is actually cut from a muslin bag.  I folded and sewed a paper doily on top and layered some flowers and a wood button. 

And how cute are these new little clothespins!? I used one here to clip the book page heart and glitter banner to the upper corner.  So sweet!
