Project Life: Week 26

Still using the Dear Lizzy: Neopolitan collection by American Crafts, but I'll have you know for the next 7-ish weeks, I'll be using a different collection. Another American Crafts collection, Amy Tangerine's Sketchbook collection. In this week's layout you'll see a watercolor technique Amy Tan introduced to us in her recent Two Peas video.

Here is week 26!

I've been using Becky Higgins page protectors in Design A and Design D but I will soon be incorporating Design F. You can find the page protectors on Amazon or in your local crafting stores (you can always go to Becky Higgins' website to find local retailers).

Until next time, enjoy!

Oh! Here's a sneak peak of week 27! Lol

Happy Happy Girl

As promised, here is the most recent scrapbook layout I put together. I have been watercoloring an ombre effect to use in my Project Life and I thought I would incorporate it into a layout.

Here goes...

This was also my first time incorporating sequins! I tried to keep it simple and I absolutely adore it!

My next post will be week 25 of Project Life so keep an eye out for that. ;-)

Until next time, enjoy!

Project Life Week 24

It has been a long while... I know I know. Well I have been trying to catch up on my Project Life this year and my style has changed since the beginning of the year. I have been using the American Crafts Dear Lizzy Neopolitan collection for my week 23 and week 24 and using it currently for week 25. I just love the entire Dear Lizzy line in general!

Here goes my week 24...

Oh... I have also been incorporating watercoloring (especially in the ombre style) and I just love the results! I will post a layout I did recently using the ombre watercoloring technique very soon so keep an eye out for that. ;-)

Unitl next time, enjoy!

Mommy's Little Girl

It's been a while, yes, I know. I've been working on various crafts, wedding planning, and starting Project Life (hopefully I can keep up this year). I've been posting pictures on instagram and you can follow me @ misslindyj for peeks of crafty and random stuff.

This is the first scrapbook page of 2013 and I absolutely adore it! It's so girly and I just love the paper line!
Almost everything used is from the Dear Lizzy Neapolitan line by American Crafts (although the stickers used for "little" are just their Thickers) The pink chevron ribbon is by May Arts and the pink/grey block stickers are by October Afternoon.

Until next time, enjoy!

Hole-y Mole-y!

It's been F-O-R-E-V-E-R!!! I guess I couldn't keep up with the goal I set myself for this blog. I DO have an instagram account where you can follow me and see pictures of things I'm working on as well as my life in general. Follow me on instagram at misslindyj!

I sent a couple of cards a few months ago to a friend and my cousin (when she was out of state). Here's for some viewing pleasure! LOL

Can you guess what line the patterened paper is from? >=] Hahaha!

Until next time, enjoy!
 

Prom Ready

Not me but my wonderful and beautiful niece!

I had the honor of doing my niece's hair and makeup for her prom this year! She's so grown up. I wanted to make a layout with pictures she took on instagram and of one I took. I sent a picture of a "peek" of what I was working on and she asked if she could have it. I told her I'd make one for her, too! 

These are the results... my copy first...

As you can see journaling has been done (my thoughts) and I included misting but did not include that in her copy. I don't know if she'll like it or not so I did without...

This is her copy... no misting and journaling has been left blank so she could fill it in.

That's all for now... so until next time, enjoy!

Happy Mother's Day! (Card)

I just want to wish all the mothers out there a very happy mothers day!

I made four cards this year, same style, same papers (except for one).

Patterened paper used are from the Dear Lizzy line by American Crafts.

Until next time, enjoy!

Awesome Friends and Cute Little Miss...

It's been a while? School's over (for now)!!!

 There are two layouts I made recently I would like to share (using old pictures)... First one I really wanted to use washi tape and this glitter technique all while keeping it fun and bright.

 
I love it though I think I should've used skinnier letters for the title.

Glitter!

Next up is a layout I made "accidently."  I recently got my first distress ink and wanted to play around with it. I grabbed some scrap papers and went to town distressing it... Well, the papers I pulled seemed to coordinate with each other and next thing you know it's on a layout. I wanted to use the washi tape I bought from target and actually found my picture after I layed everything out (except the title and journaling, of course). And here we have the "accidental" layout of little miss cutie...

I had to cover part of her up! But isn't she just a cutie??

Well, more to come later, I promise! Until next time, enjoy! 

Target Printed Paper Tape (WASHI TAPE!!) VIDEO

Enjoy!

Mother Daughter Layout

I was watching Shimelle Laine's YouTube videos and saw a layout I really liked. The post on her blog for the layout can be found HERE along with the YouTube video. I decided I wanted to attempt this layout and these are this is the result:

I really love how it turned out! (Thanks Shimelle, had to follow it to the t!) All the patterned paper used is by American Crafts from the Enchanted collection from the Dear Lizzy line. Butterflies and doily are from punches by Martha Stewart. Title, "Love," and "a friend always" all from American Crafts. Lace flower was made from trim I purchased at Hobby Lobby. Hearts are from one punch by EK success.

Like I said, I really love how it came out and now I'm waiting to see what my cousin comes up with (we're using the layout as a challenge)!  

Until next time, enjoy!
