52 Favorites

Hello friends! Today I’m up on the blog showing how I’m documenting my 52 Favorites.  Are you playing along? If you are what’s your approach? The awesome thing about this project is you can do as little or as much as you like each week. I tried a travelers notebook, and I liked it, but I wasn’t motivated to keep up. I was having a hard time narrowing down what I wanted to document, I have 5 million kids (just kidding, I have four, and one on the way), and it makes it hard to choose. So I decided to focus on my project life album, and really stay on top of it this year. The awesome thing is I can use my stash, the pile of never ending scraps on my table, or I can get cut apart sheets from the shop. It can be as simple or jam packed as I feel like for the week.

Today I’m showing you my week 14. This is the week of Easter, and the week that my littlest brother left for Navy Bootcamp.  I did save Easter for a separate insert, since we take a million pictures, but it will match my week 14 color scheme. 


I loved using the new Dear Lizzy line Stay Colorful. The two main items I used were the cut aparts and the sticker sheet. I also used some older project life cards, some Simple Stories Emoji Love, random washi, one doodlebug alpha sheet, and some amazing gold thickers. 
Like I said, I didn’t go to crazy, I just really wanted to document everything. 




Thanks for stopping by!

You Are Loved- Simple Stories

YOU ARE LOVED! Hey y’all! Courtney here and today I am sharing the layout I created using the So Happy Together collection. This is such a beautiful collection and I wanted to put every single piece in the collection on my layout. I decided to go with a free cut file from Paper Issues so I could use a ton of patterned papers. For backing my cut files I used a variety of pattern papers from the 6x8 paper pad. I love having the smaller prints to use with cut files. I cut my actual cut file on the Happy Heart paper, I am obsessed with anything polka dot and black and white. I cut about an inch ½ inch on each side so I could layer the beautiful Our Story paper behind it. After I filed my cut file, I began laying a ton of ephemera, chipboard and stickers. There is a ton of great images and tiny word phrases. I layered a 4x4 photo that I trimmed down to fit onto the gingham 4x4 card and then I layered it onto the My Family paper. Then I finished my cluster with a w...

You and Me- Simple Stories

YOU & ME! Hey y’all! Courtney here again and today I am sharing a layout that I created using Autumn Splendor collection. This collection reminds me of my child hood. We always had these amazing vintage calendars in our house and every year when they were done my mom would cut them up to use as ephemera or decoupage the cutouts on something artistic. For this layout, I used  a cut file from Paper Issues called You and Me and cut it out in black to make it pop off the page. Then I backed the cut file in Seasons if Change, the B side of the 4x4 elements, Grateful Hearts, Autumn Leaves, and the b side of the 2x2 elements. I used the Elm/Cream Ledger paper from the SN@P Basics as my background. I matted my photos on a piece of vellum and then on the Grateful Hearts paper. I layered them on either side of the cut file. I created three clusters with another cut file from Paper Issues called Collecting Leaves that I cut out of the Turquoise Dots paper. I then layer...
