Digital Goodies for Project Life

New digital PL cards I printed.

Hello! Happy Monday! It’s the start to another week to demonstrate our greatness!

I wanted to share with you my latest find –  Digital Project Life (PL) cards.  This year, I have decided to part with the traditional PL card sets and make my own.  I did it for many reasons but mostly because I find that along the way, they aren’t coordinating with my pages. Also I never use them all.  So I have been making them with all my stamps and inks.  It’s been fun.

However, last week, I saw some digital cards on Two Peas in a Bucket’s site and downloaded them. I like the idea I can print a whole sheet of the set or I can print sheets of just the ones I need.

 

Some of them cut up.

I even found journaling spots that work great with my 1-inch punch.  So I can use them to make more cards or just stick them  directly on the photos.  I look forward to playing with them and altering them for my Project Life.

Have a blessed day!

Card for a friend.

I'm here for you...

I’m here for you…

Hello Everyone! Hope you had a great weekend. We had a nice weekend with the boys.  Except  Sunday I was blown away by the season finale of one of my favorite shows – Downton Abbey.  I won’t spoil it for any of you that hasn’t watched it yet. Just grab a kleenex. I’m just sayin’.

This week is our February vacation from school so I have reduced my workload and spending more time with the boys. It’s a delicate balance. Today we went out for lunch and they bought some new books (my kids are bookworms like me!).  But I digress…

I began the post with the intention of sharing a recent card I made for my dear friend. I liked it so much I am thinking of making some for my shop.

Samples

So many samples

I may be aging myself but I remember the time when I used to go to Filene’s and Macy’s with my mom and when she bought perfume, I used to get so happy because she would give me some of the many samples that they would give her.

Fast forward to now and I went and bought some perfume at Macy’s and the sales clerk handed me what looked like one of those perfume samples you get in your magazines.  I was so disappointed.

Then I recently purchased some perfume for my sister at Nordstrom’s and I felt like a little girl again when I got home and went through all of my samples. Real samples in bottles. Some pretty good size I might add.

A Storm is coming…

My daffodils opened today.

Well I went to Trader Joe’s yesterday to restock our pantry.  I have been watching the news quite regularly to see what the predictions are of this storm and it sounds like it will be a big one.

There is that side of me that is cynical and thinks they got it wrong. But I think they might have it right and if they do, then it is going to hit us with a lot of snow.

This is how I keep spring in our home throughout winter.

Now I am the first one to grumble along with my friends about the cold and my not so much love for snow but deep down (shhh) I really get a thrill of waiting and witnessing the snow.  It’s beautiful.  It slows us down and lord knows I need some slowing down.  It forces us to appreciate things more and I love when you look at the untouched snow after the storm and it looks like one big blanket covering us all together.  So I  am looking forward to fun with Leao and the boys for a few days…

Then I will resume my not so much love for the snow speech.

If you are in the area please be safe throughout this storm.

Have a blessed day!
