Project Life

I just started my first Project Life book and I'm obsessed. My last scrapbook was Smashbook but I just had too many pictures. Project Life is super easy to do and I love all the adorable journaling cards. One thing my Smashbook lacked was journaling. Yes I could have added myself, but I think the journaling cards really make you tell a story. Even going through my pictures I remembered little stories I wanted to add. This scrapbook is starting with my trips to NYC, Virginia, North Carolina, and California. I love pictures and feel like these books let me feel less guilty about printing 200+ pictures.

Dollar Spot Crafting

I love to craft and making cards is one of my favorite things to make. I haven't been able to craft since I left my apt in September. That is like a lifetime of not crafting for me! I didn't bring any supplies and didn't want to buy a bunch of stuff to re stock my crafting supplies. Luckily Target dollar spot and a huge sale at Michaels saved the day! 

Michaels had their colored 80 card and envelope packs for $5. They also had all 50+ Card and envelope packs half off so they came out to $4-$5 as well! Target had $3 stamp sets with ink pads, $1 chalkboard stickers, chalk, gel pens, twine, bakers twine, washi tape, mini clothes pins, and more tiny craft supplies. They also had a lot of smashbox paper sets for $1! I hit the jackpot on cheep crafting supplies! I think the total ended up being under $20! Here is a look at some of the supplies I got and some card creations!

(This one I used pink glitter washi tape)
