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.

My Happy- Simple Stories

MY HAPPY! Hey y’all! Courtney here and I am sharing my last layout as a Design Team member. I’m using the collection, Hey Crafty Girl. I found it only fitting to highlight my two Design Team announcements from last year. I knew that I wanted a colorful layout, so I picked the Crafty & Happy paper. Instead of just using it as is I decided to use a cut file from Paper Issues called Just a Few Bumps in the Road, and I cut it in black.i wanted all of the colors to really pop against it. I cut my pattern paper down to fill my cut file in rainbow order. I was super excited to see all of the embellishments that I could use to color block on my layout. I layered my photos on some dot paper and a 4x6 card to match the collection. I went through every embellishment and matched them with their color and chose wanted I wanted to keep on my layout. I also used a 4c6 photo photo flip so I could add my design team pictures. I added some enamel dots from multiple coll

Love You- Simple Stories

LOVE YOU! Hey y’all! Courtney here and today I am sharing my layout that I created using the collection My Valentine. This collection has some amazing vintage images and beautiful colors. I loved using it with a cut file by Paige Evans I cut the cut file out in the Lace Dots paper and then in white as a solid background. Then I cut each letter in various patterns from the 6x8 paper pad and the 12x12 sheets. I added foam to the top portion of my cut file and adhered the patterns to the white cut out to give it some dimension. After I adhered my cut file I added my 4 pictures. They are approximately 2x3’s and I added a white card stock mat to them.  Once I was happy with the placement I began to add my embellishments. I used the bits and pieces, My Valentine Card Ephemera, the mini sticker tablet, the 6x12 chipboard, and Combo Sticker sheet. Then, I finished the layout off with my clusters of enamel dots from the So Happy Together collection. Thank You so much

Scary Cute- Simple Stories

SCARY CUTE! Hey y'all! It's Courtney here! Today’s layout is made with the amazing Happy Haunting line. How fun is this line? When I saw it I knew exactly what picture I wanted to use. For this layout, I cut out 2-inch strips that varied in length. After that, I randomly placed them on the background page which is Utterly Spooky. I used a few different pages for the strips. I used both sides of Hocus Pocus, Fright night, Bootiful, and the 2x2 elements. I used some black crate paper, the bat border sticker, and the spooky house border sticker to add some different dimension and texture to my pattern. All of my clusters we're a mixture of the chipboard, the combo sticker sheet, the icon bits, and pieces, and the Happy Haunting journal pieces. I embellished each cluster with the small enamel dot from the Spring Farm House collection. I added a tab, tiny word sticker,   and a flower to my photo from the combo sticker sheet. I hope you are inspired to
