Everyday Life Project Life Layout by Alyssa McGrew

Everyday Life Project Life Layout
Curtsey Boutique Designer
Alyssa McGrew

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.

DIY Jute Organizer and Burlap Bag Dispense Tutorial by Connie Mercer

We all love to use Jute in our projects, but storing and keeping it kink and not free is not always easy. Connie has stylishly mastered this organizational conundrum and is sharing her burlap organizer tutorial with us today.

Thanksgiving Day Place Card & Utensil Holder with Andrea Amu

Thanksgiving Day Place Card & Utensil Holder
Curtsey Boutique Designer
Andrea Amu

When I came across the burlap bags in my stash of Curtsey Boutique supplies, I knew instantly that they would make wonderfully fancy utensil bags for dressing up our Thanksgiving dinner table!

The chalkboard tags are the perfect accompaniment for displaying everyone's seating arrangement. Better yet, these bags were so easy to put together. I used some faux leaves that I purchased at the local dollar store and started by attaching two leaves to a yellow hand-dyed doily with glue dots. I also adhered a fabric Curtsey Boutique flower on top of the leaves and then affixed the embellished doily to the burlap bag with a heavier glue dot.

To finish off each bag, I simply tied on the chalkboard tag with a string of burlap and wrote the name onto the tag with chalk. Easy and elegant!

Jenifer Cowles

Halloween Layouts? I know you're thinking I'm a few weeks late, but I just got my Halloween photos back from the my local pharmacy and couldn't wait to try out this cute layout idea Jenifer shared. Perhaps you too aren't ready to let go of all that's spooky and fun?

Project Instructions:

Take a fun piece of spider patterned paper and do some layering with ribbons and lace. Make a fun “spider web” by layering a few doilies, string and adding the wonderful glitter spiders.
