Travel journal and smash book.

I have been in Pinterest for the past few days looking for ideas for a way to document the once in a lifetime trip I have coming up in a little over a month.  There are just way too many cute ideas so I decided in a smash book.  Went to Michael's today looking for a kit but all they had where the binders.  Well what the hell... I decided to go for it and figured that between my Scrapbooking stash that rarely gets used, memoriabilia and various other bits and bobbles I could create my own. So tonight I got the bug to start putting pages in it.  I went through my stash of paper and scraps and using a three hole punch and my paper cutter I put together quite a few pages.  Mind you now they are blank.  Just plain card stock but that is the beauty of creativity.  You can do whatever you want.  Now looking at it you will see that I have no colour scheme in mind.  The reason for this is that I am going to Florida. We are planning a wide variety of fun things to do among which  are movies, Universal Studios, black light mini golf, laser tag, and the beach.  So with that in mind I decided in a variety of colours and textures.

The empty undecorated smash book by K&Company.

Some of the pages using scraps of cardstock from my stash.

I also bought a little travel journal so that I can record my memories while I am on vacation.  I will use the pages in my smash book when I return home

My plans are to use my Silhouette digital craft cutter along with pieces of Project Life and a little help from the Rhonna Design App and create a book that I will enjoy looking at for years to come.

Week Three project life

Orlando Vacation.

In about five weeks I will be climbing into a car with my BFF and taking a 16 hour road trip from Ohio to Florida.  So much is happening while we are there that I wanted to remember it all.  I have a journal that is holding all of my trip information of the ore planning variety.  I am going to take that with me and document our everyday adventures with our friends.  When I get home I want to find a nice journal and create a travel journal documenting our adventures.  I have seen so many gorgeous designs on Pinterest that I don't even know where to begin.  I can't wait to share this with everyone here in my blog when it it complete.! 

Week Two project life

Week One 2015

It's amazing how fast the days are flying by.  Tomorrow is the last day of the first week of 2015.  I can't believe that my March trip exactly two months away.  True to my promise I am here to present page one week one of Project Life 2015.

Happy New Year!

It is hard for me to believe that 2014 has ended and a new year has begun.  2014 held a lot of changes for me.  I left a store that I had been at for almost 13 years to go to a new store.  Then that store closed in December and a whole new world opened for me at the new store that was just built.  More family time as well this fall.  We spent several days hiking the beautiful trails around our home in Merriman Valley.  I was in my element as fall is the most loveliest of times of year.  I am so blessed to live in such a beautiful area.  My BFF transferred to my new store as well so I have a familiar face keeping me company.  With 2015 here a whole new world opens up around me.  My BFF is moving into my apartment complex and is getting a new roommate.  In March him and I are taking a much needed road trip south to the beautiful and warm state of Florida to spend a week with our online gaming friends. Allie is heading to Washington DC in May with her 8th grade class.  It will be the first time she is away from me with someone other then family.  I'm nervous and scared but at the same time so proud of her that she wants to take this trip.  With the new year I am going to focus more on documenting the life of my family again.  I am really going to buckle down and do a photo a day and get my Project Life pages done each week. So in honour of my resolution to get this done this year I have managed to put together the 2015 title page.
