As you can see I started to get a little theme-y with each month. I used the play cards by sass as well as little things from my stash. So easy and fun!
I have this in our little to do area. So I will do October at the the end of the month and keep going. It was such a fun and easy book to make -- I hope this gave you some ideas:) Thanks for stopping in.
To the amazing ladies that spent their day cropping with me, thank you for the bottom of my heart. Traditionally, the "Croptoberfest" is a good one to attend, and this year, you all out-did yourselves. For those of you who weren't there, all I can say is..."What happens at a crop stays at a crop" (to quote Amy's exact words.) Lots and lots of laughs, and I am so blessed to be surrounded by a lot of good-hearted, creative people.
I took this shot of our living space for my Project 365 book. I plan on playing a little catch up with journaling in it today at the crop. Looking forward to spending the day with girlfriends, good food and laughter (always love the "Croptoberfest" we have this time of year)...
I found the wooden sticks at Michael's (in the raw wood section, next to the popsicle sticks) in the shape of people, and I wrapped them as mummies with cheesecloth and added googlie eyes. Tina got me hooked on those caramel apple pops...YUM...
You know no fall is complete without decorative soaps. Simply pull the label off the front of Softsoap (in this case, I like the white), and use rub ons or vinyl cut from your Cricut and embellish. Note: If your label sticks, use goo-gone and then wash with soap and water to remove the residue the goo-gone then leaves.)
And these Buckeye Bars. Oh my heavens...
Jen and Todd are dog lovers. They adore their dog, Chloe, and I love that they included her in several wedding pictures...
I love this shot. My aunt and uncle did such a fine job raising two beautiful young women. And Todd's mom did a wonderful job with him as well. I tried to get them to tell me all their child-rearing secrets...
I confess...I said a prayer for good lighting...and it was answered...
The bridal party. Jen's sister was her maid-of-honor. They were both in our wedding 13 years ago. One of my earliest memories is of me dancing at their parent's wedding, some 38 years ago when I was just 4 years old. Kind of surreal, bearing witness to these events and having such fond memories of them still...
The personal touches were everywhere. Every table had a different 5x7 photograph of Chloe with the table number printed on the photo, and framed. I loved it. She printed the menus, invitations and programs and placecards herself...
I love a good storyboard. I will confess to visiting Snippet & Ink almost daily--and I love how they link all the wonderful pictures up to where they got stuff. So here goes...
Cupcakes were heavenly, the Photographer was quiet and creative and quite simply, amazing. Flowers were ordered online and bouquets were handmade by the bride and her bridesmaids, the Church looked so beautiful...
I started with a premade 4x6 Photo Brag book purchased at Archiver's on clearance for $1.99. Base the design around a journaling tablet. Use up those scraps from your favorite paper lines. Create 4x6 pages for the left side of the book, use 4x6 prints on the right. I was able to complete this entire album in one day!
