Project Life Ideas

I'm seriously thinking about jumping on the Project Life bandwagon...SMASHbook style.  I already keep an agenda type calendar - I can write down what we do & where we need to go...all in one place.  SMASHbook style means any size goes when keeping memorabilia!  It also means I can be free with my style.  Textures, interaction....freedom!  

So...what supplies do I need?

• Modified SMASHbook...an artsy book from Mike's or I may just use the one I have...I haven't done too much SMASHing in my current book.  OR an old style scrapbook.  Remember those with the rough gray pages?  One of those!  
• Date stamp - definitely purchase
• Journaling blocks & tags - I can make these!  I already have some made, too.  
• Dig out my old typewriter - a great idea from Michelle Wooderson!  Now I know what I can do with my typewriter.  LOL.
• Print my pictures at home - I already have the stuff!  Go for it!   Quicker & no waiting period.
• Use my stash & anything that suits my fancy!

This is just a start.  What suggestions would you have for this project?

Thanks for stopping by!  Have a moo'valous day!  

Stampin Up! Order - April 2011

I'm back.  And another TAX SEASON bites the dust...

Actually, it but the dust on April 17...but whew...it takes a while to get ya groove back.   I've been crafting, but just have not posted yet.  And I have oodles to post. 

Mr. Brown stopped by last night and this is wha the brought me.

I found that after I had unpacked the box.  Do you think she likes that brown packing paper?  

I like that brown packing paper, too!  And I have a project to share using brown packing paper...I'm so excited about it!  (looking at title of blog post...oh...OK...SU! order...right...let's see...)

This is what I unpacked out of the box.

Cardstock...replenishing my cardstock...I need to share my cardstock organization method!  I was able to get that task completed after tax season.  Pictures coming soon!   But for now...feast your eyes on the "fan"-fare paper collection.

I splurged on a stamp set.  Bring on the Cake was a splurge from the Occassions Mini that ended April 30.  Splurge, indeed, as the set is contained in TWO clear stamp cases.  I needed a birthday sentiment set.  And the good news, too, is that this set carried over to the BIG catalog that's coming out in July 2011.

For my hostess set, I chose Birthday Bakery for yet more birthday images & sentiments. 

I needed a new adhesive remover...my old one...doesn't have any cornerrs!  Oops...told on myself!  LOL  The adhesive remover I currently have, I purchased in the Buy/Sell/Trade forum at SplitCoastStampers when I first started stamping.  And while I don't use Tombow Mono Multi ALL the time, I do like it and it made a nice filler.  The thing about Tombow...a little dab will do ya and it's repositionable up to a point.  Love that!

Then I needed glue dots...I ran out!  OH BOY!  I ran out in the midst of a project that I need to share!  Gotta finish it first...I needed to fill out out my marker & stamp pads.  A Sahara Sand stamp pad, a Basic Gray and a Sahara Sand Stampin Write marker complete my collection. 

Add one more 8 1/2 x 11 paper holder and a free 2010-2011 SU! catty...that's all folks! 

Now, to go put my new purchases in their homes.  What crafting supplies / items have you purchased lately?

Have a moo'valous day! 

Suite Textiles

I'm so in love with the Stampin' Up! Sew Suite collection.  Take a look at the textiles & accessories.

Fabric, Buttons, Pom Pom Trim

Oh my!  Check out the DETAIL in the fabric!

Yummy!

What am I going to do with all this?  Sew, of course.  ;-)  Seriously, make a fabric cover for my binder! 

Whatcha think?  Gorgeous, yes?  

Have a moo-valous day!
