FYI, I made some adjustments to a few of this week's prompts because the ones provided just weren't working for me. But when it comes to any of the books I'm working in, I really love to play around with color and penmanship. I think it's really fun to mix up fonts! I also added simple artwork and a couple of embellishments from my stash, like a honu [sea turtle] and a piece of filmstrip washi tape.

That's it for today! Want more? Check back next week! In the meantime, feel free to browse my other 365/30 Lists. Or take a peek at my Filofax posts!

365/30 Lists: 2014 | Week 27

If you're a longtime follower of my blog, you'll remember at the start of this year when I kept a daily "Lists" journal. I've been so busy for the last few months that I neglected it! And I think now is a great time to get back to writing. Today I'll be sharing the first entry in my new 365/30 Lists journal.

365/30 Lists | My New Journal

Instead of picking up where I left off, I decided to finish out the rest of this year in a brand new journal. I picked up this one from Tuesday Morning for $3.99. Some Dear Lizzy glitter thickers grace the cover. Inside I have a Martha Stewart label [gifted to me] and colorful washi tape cut into banners and an arrow.

365/30 Lists: 2014 | Week 2

Last week I shared my newest adventure here on my blog. And I had no idea how popular my 365/30 Lists Journal would be with my readers! I received such wonderful feedback across all of my social accounts, on my blog, and on the 365/30 Lists: Philofaxers! Facebook group! I'm so happy to hear that a lot of you decided to join me on this journey :) It's going to be so much fun!

I customized this project to suit my needs. Deciding not to use my Filofax made sense to me. I honestly don't have the extra space for 30 separate lists. I also want to keep all of my lists together in one book... so I went with a bound journal. But if you have room to do it in your Filofax or planner, go for it!

365/30 Lists 2014: Days 8 - 10

I added some extras to this page with a Kawaii ice cream cone sticker by Stickerdoodles, a Typo page marker, red paper tape [Kid Made Modern from Target], and filmstrip washi tape.

365/30 Lists 2014: Days 11 & 12

Here I drew some zentangles to fill up some blank space, and embellished the page with another Kawaii sticker and an arrow post-it from my stash of Filofax supplies.

That's it for today! I hope you enjoyed my post and leave here inspired to try something new :) For more... tune in next week! Feel free to check out my other Filofax posts.

Project Life 2014: Week 2

Hello! I'm really enjoying documenting another year with Project Life... and starting off with a new book is pretty awesome! Today I'm so happy to share my most recent completed layout with you. But in case you missed last week's, you can find it here.

WEEK 2

Life Documented

January 6 - January 12

PL 2014: Week 2 | Full Spread

This week was wonderful! I captured lots of great everyday life photos and memories worth documenting. I even had tons of new supplies to play with! I let the fun pictures from this week be the inspiration for my theme. Lots of girly embellishments and the color pink, of course!

PL 2014: Week 2 | Left Page

Here I'm using a Hobby Lobby pocket page continued from Week 1. I really loved the colors in this week's photos, so they were my palette when choosing cards and embellishments. I mixed up the cards on this page with some handmade ones, a printable filler card, and journal and fillers from different designers and collections. 

Starting with the title card, I used a cloud design from the set of Planner themed Project Life cards. I added Hello thickers by Amy Tangerine, a Colorbok number element, yellow enamel dots by Recollections, and an arrow by MAMBI.

PL 2014: Week 2 | Cards - Set 1

For this set of cards I used a double-sided card from last week to hold a wallet-size instagram photo of my 365/30 Lists. I added some neon paper tape to write the title. Next is a 4x3 filler card from WRMK. I created a handmade card using paper from Amy T's Sketchbook line. It holds a 4x4 instapic of my daughter. To complete the card, I used Studio 112 and Glitz alphabet stickers, Wish thickers by Amy Tangerine, and a Cosmo Cricket doily sticker.

PL 2014: Week 2 | Cards - Set 2

This is another fun mix of cards. I used the other side of the 4x6 WRMK journal card from last week to hold a wallet-size instagram of my VDay stash. I added some Dymo labels for the title. Next is a handmade 4x3 card using pretty paper from my scraps. It has another wallet-size instapic, some Heidi Swapp alphabet stickers, and pink bling. The last card is a cutout from my Hopscotch paper pad by Colorbok. I used some of my own writing to fill in the calendar card.

PL 2014: Week 2 | Love Filler Card

I scoured through my stash of free printables to find a filler card that worked with my theme. I resized this print to fit the 4x6 pocket. The colors and LOVE sentiment works perfectly!

PL 2014: Week 2 | Right Page

I'm using the same Hobby Lobby pocket page for the right side. I filled the pockets with a fun mix of cards, papers, and photos.

PL 2014: Week 2 | Cards - Set 3

For the first card in this set, I have a handmade card using paper from Dear Lizzy's 5th & Frolic. It holds a 4x4 instagram photo, a pink SMASH* label that I embossed with my Dymo, a wood veneer hashtag, a print-and-cut label, and some alphabet stickers by Glitz and Basic Grey. Next is a 4x3 filler card from the Girl themed set of Project Life cards. The last one is a printable filler card that holds a wallet-size instapic and some glittery red Hooray thickers.

PL 2014: Week 2 | PNW Life

I made this card using more paper from Dear Lizzy's 5th & Frolic line. I added a 4x4 instagram photo of my little one in her rain gear... necessities for living in the Pacific NW. Some large AC Remarks Hazel and K&Company Animal Tails alphabet stickers complete the card.

PL 2014: Week 2 | Cards - Set 4

I made a Week in Review card using a ledger design from Amy Tangerine's Sketchbook paper pad and some pink Cosmo Cricket alphabet stickers. The 4x3 cards are from my hubby's company party. Some Dear Lizzy 5th & Frolic paper acts as a mat for his name tag. I took a photo of his letter about the Profit Share bonus, and added an arrow (cut on my Silhouette Cameo) to highlight the amount. [Concealed for privacy. The SMASH* mustache clip is there to hide more info.]

PL 2014: Week 2 | Bravo Night Card

The last one is another handmade card using patterned paper from my collection and a piece of ephemera. I thought the hubby's itinerary from Bravo Night would be a great addition to our album! To decorate the card, I added a black banner cut on my Silhouette Cameo. I also used a white gel pen to create the faux stitch detail and writing, and some AC Remarks alphabet stickers for the rest of the title.

I hope you enjoyed my Project Life post :) You can find all of my previous layouts and albums here. Looking for the fun free printables I used in this week's spread?

365/30 Lists: 2014 | Week 1

Happy Aloha Friday! I decided to embark on a new adventure this year :) Writing everyday is one of my Goals for 2014. I was debating whether or not I wanted to add something new to my schedule, but with the success of completing all of my projects last year, as scheduled, I felt I could handle one more thing...

I've always loved writing... since childhood, actually. I still have all of my old diaries and journals from when I was a kid. Sadly, I haven't done any daily writing or journaling for a very long time. Sure, I do journal on some cards every week for my Project Life album, but I feel like I want more. So I decided to rekindle my love for writing... by making lists. Who doesn't love a good list?!

Since I'm a Filofax Addict, and my planners are already full of random lists... I thought I would join in on the fun with 365/30 Lists: Philofaxers! I'm already in the Philophaxy Facebook group, so it's a really great companion. All of the planning for this new project is done in my A5 Original. 

365/30 Lists: 2014 | The Journal

But I'm the type that loves to have my writing together all in one place, especially a project like 365/30. The space in my Filofaxes is already spoken for, so putting 30 separate lists in them each month is out of the question. Being a journaler, it only made sense to keep a single book for all of this year's lists. So I decided to document my journey in a journal. It's all together in one place... and I can easily look back on it for many years to come. Could you imagine a shelf full of them? Seeing how much the world, along with myself, has changed over time... through these lists.

The journal I'm using is a favorite that I've had for almost 10 years. I'm so happy I'm finally able to put it to good use! I purchased it from Barnes & Noble, and it's the PaperBlanks line. The colors are lovely, it has a beautiful texture, a magnetic wrap-around cover, and an accordion pocket in the back for little extras. For the title, I added black foam thickers called "Wish" by Amy Tangerine.

365/30 Lists: 2014 | Journal - The Cover Page

I decorated the cover page of my journal with a Martha Stewart label sticker, and chose a few favorite designs of washi tape for accent. I used three different designs of varying widths, and cut them into banners and an arrow.

[Mail Tape by Scotch, Gray Chevron by ThePaperStudio from Hobby Lobby, Neon Paper Tape by KID MADE MODERN from Target]

Each month, 365/30 Lists: Philofaxers! releases a new list of prompts. Every week, I'll be sharing the pages of my book here on my blog. Follow me on my new adventure. I'm using the hashtag #30filolists on Instagram. If you're a list lover or journaler like me, incorporate these lists into your life. Document your journey. As for me, I get to check a few things off my 2014 Goals list...

WEEK 1
January 1 - January 5

365/30 Lists 2014: Days 1 & 2

365/30 Lists 2014: Days 3 - 5

That's it for today! I hope you enjoyed my post and leave here feeling inspired to try something new and different. I'm going to have lots of fun filling up this journal with lists :) For more... tune in next week! In the meantime, check out my other Filofax posts. Looking for more planner inspiration?

Project Life 2014: Week 1

Happy Thursday! I'm so excited to finally share the first layout of my 2014 Project Life album :) Last week, I revealed details about my new book, the cover page of my album, and my plans for this year in Project Life. You can read about all of that here.

Here's how our year started...

WEEK 1

Life Documented

January 1 - January 5

PL 2014: Week 1 - Full Spread

It felt so great to make a Project Life spread again! I missed it last month, since I did a separate December Daily album. The first week of 2014 was off to a great start! I captured lots of photos and printed them in a variety of sizes. I mixed up the design a bit, and played around with fun and colorful cards and elements.

PL 2014: Week 1 - Left Page

Here I'm using a Hobby Lobby pocket page continued from my cover page. I filled the pockets with pretty patterned paper, printable filler cards, and fun elements with black accents. Starting with the title card, I created a handmade 6x4 card using Ki Memories paper, a COLORBOK number and sentiment, and glittery silver "Sunrise" thickers.

PL 2014: NYE Card

This is another handmade card using Ki Memories paper cut down to size. I added a 4x4 instagram photo, a black banner cut on my Silhouette Cameo, and silver "Kitten" thickers.

PL 2014: Week 1 - Cards - Set1

With this group, I have a printable chevron filler card and a calendar card from my collection.  I added a wallet-size instapic, black and silver Studio 112 alphabet stickers, and stamped the calendar card with an Ali E. circle date stamp. The B&W polka dot card is the perfect background for a 4x4 instagram photo of our first family pic of the year. I added a "Home" embellisment cut on my Silhouette Cameo, and some white American Crafts alphabet stickers.

PL 2014: Week 1 - Cards - Set2

Next I have more fun free printable filler cards, a wallet-size instagram photo of my little one ringin' in the New Year, and Glitz alphabet stickers. I used a star design from Ki Memories for my favorite New Year's photo. I embellished this card with some colorful cardstock tags and heart brads.

PL 2014: Week 1 - Right Page

I'm using another Hobby Lobby pocket page to hold more memories from our first week of the year. I have a fun mix of cards, designers, and photos. 

PL 2014: Week 1 - Cards - Set 3

I filled the 4x6 pocket with a cheerful filler card by MAMBI. Next I used a chalk COLORBOK cutout for some journaling, and a 4x3 photo snippet of our Family Movie Night.

PL 2014: Week 1 - Haul Card

I created a handmade card using black chevron AC paper. It holds a 4x4 instapic of my shopping haul. I decorated the card with a Cosmo Cricket tag sticker, colorful twine, and dark alphabet stickers. Another Cosmo Cricket sticker marks the date.

PL 2014: Week 1 - Cards - Set 4

I varied up the photos by filling a pocket with a full-size 4x6 image of my daughter. Next is a 2014 printable filler card and a 4x3 MAMBI card. It holds a wallet-size instagram photo, a Cosmo Cricket tab sticker, and B&W alphabet stickers by American Crafts.

PL 2014: Week 1 - Journal Card

The last card is a journal card by WRMK. I used it to document a few simple goals and inspiration for this year. I used a DYMO label for the title, bling acts as the bullets, and I used a white gel pen to do my journaling.

I hope you enjoyed my Project Life post :) Looking forward to sharing more of our family's memories this year! You can find all of my previous layouts and albums here. Looking for the fun, free printables I used in this week's spread? Browse my "SMASH* & PL" pinboard on pinterest. I have even more freebies on my "Printables/Templates" board!

Project Life: Hello, 2014!

Happy Saturday! I hope 2014 has gotten off to a great start for you. As for me, I spent this week getting all of my books ready for the new year! And today I'll be showing you my album setup for Project Life and my plans for 2014.

Completing PL in 2013 was a huge accomplishment for me! [You can view my album here.] And the hot pink WRMK album was fun and fabulous! But this year I kept it simple with a black American Crafts "Memorology" fabric album. Can you believe I picked it up for just $6.99 at Tuesday Morning?!

I decorated the front cover using scrapbook paper from my scrap stash... I had to include some pink in there! I also added a black heart cut on my Silhouette Cameo, and some black foam thickers by Amy Tangerine called "Wish."

I really learned a lot about my Project Life style last year. My pages were pretty eclectic! I didn't stick to any certain kit, mixed up designers and collections, varied my pocket pages, played with fun colors, cards, and elements, and used tons of instapics and free printables!

Since I love how last year's album came out, I don't think I'll do anything differently in this year's book. It will continue to showcase my fun and unique style! But I do plan on giving Monday-start a try, as well as using a variety of photo sizes instead of just square instagram pics, and by taking full advantage of my Silhouette Cameo.

I'm also using a helpful tool to plan this year's PL pages, rather than the lined notebook I previously used...

Having a Project Life Planner inside of my A5 Filofax is the smartest decision I made. No need to carry around another extra book! All of the info is right there with the other pages I use to keep my life organized.

I had tons of fun getting my album ready for 2014! With lots of new goodies to play with and cool ideas running through my head, I came up with this layout for my cover page...

I started with pretty patterned papers from Amy Tangerine and Dear Lizzy's 5th & Frolic. I embellished the cards with burlap thickers by American Crafts called "Hello", Amy Tangerine "Goodness" thickers, a Studio Calico wood veneer geotag, Dymo labels, and words, numbers, and elements cut on my Silhouette Cameo.

That's all I have for you today! Hope you enjoyed my post :) Stick around, because next week I'll be sharing my very first layout of the year!
