4Ever Mine and other fun stuff

Holy cow! I've been a bad blogger lately! I've had good intentions but life keeps getting in the way! Which is a good thing! I'd certainly rather be living and enjoying life than just blogging about it.

I have been creating though....that hasn't stopped.  I am happy to say I am completely current with Project Life, though I haven't shared all the weeks here.  They are done and I'm just working on this current week. So proud of myself for keeping up with it. I usually bomb on long term projects by now. I am still loving it!

I realized I have a layout that I haven't shared here yet.  This layout is using the May Studio Calico kit add-on called Holga. I squeezed a lot of layouts out of that kit! One of my favs...loved it.

Isnt' that background paper just awesome! I love the wood planks and grey colors. I even used some of the brown bag the kit was packaged in for layers.  Along the left , I used some of the left over cut outs from the Silhouette image used on this layout. I love that! Just turned them over for a different pattern.

Now that little ruffle is the paper towels used to clean up after misting. I've heard of people saving them and using them on projects but just never did.  These colors were just too yummy and were screaming to me to use them.  The mix of bright pink, yellow, making orange....yum! Reminds me of those summertime popsicles we used to eat as kids!  Used the "together" frame cut from my Cameo.

Piled some thread on....just love the looks of loose thread, which happens to be a good thing because I'm a horrible seamstress....paper or otherwise!

So there you go! A quick layout share.  

On another note, I just wanted to share my congratulations for my sweet friend, Sophie. I'm so stinkin' proud of her.  She just this week announced she was selected for three very prestigious design teams, Elle's Studio, Crate Paper, and American Crafts!  Woohoo! That is HUGE!!!  Though, we have never met in person, we have been friends thanks to blogging and email for a few years now.  She has always been so supportive of me and has always left the most encouraging comments! She is truly a sweetheart of a person and I'm so proud of her. She has truly developed a style all her own and her jaw dropping layouts just get me every time! It's no surprise these wonderful manufacturers are snatching her up....it was just a matter of time!  So, congratulations Sophie! You certainly deserve it! 

Ok, gotta run....my daughter is throwing a surprise birthday party for my hubby tonight (he turned 50 this week!).  Crazy to think we met when he was only 19! Yeah he's a keeper!  But shhhhh, don't ruin the surprise, he has absolutely NO idea!

Have an awesome Friday!
