This year I am teaching a class with eleven other scrapbookers for Big Picture called December Duos. You can read more about the online workshop here but the gist is 12 days of inspiration for photo taking and documenting your Christmas season. The theme focuses on capturing pairs (light & dark, red & green, warm…

One thing that I have decided to do to remember each space that we live in as a family is create a small photo book. You can see the one I created for our first time in San Diego here. These books are the easiest. I just go through all my photos from the time…

Quick little holiday book update this week. Again, keeping things simple and letting the patterned papers be design elements. Obvoiously loved that ampersand stamp from Meredith's pop-up shop. Too cute. I adhered a 4×6 photo of our fridge getting covered in holiday cards to the back of that tabbed card. I loved that the cards…

see update one & update two. Kind of a mini update from these last few days. I wanted to share more candle photos and some text about "candle night" traditions on the red scalloped card. My dad texted me a photo of their house all set up for a Christmas party with candles and I…

I can't figure out if this book is really coming together easier this year or if I'm happier so it just feels that way? Either way… glad it's moving along smoothly. Added journaling to that striped paper (that's why the stripes are there) and paired it with a photo of our holiday envelopes before they…

Welcome to my holiday book updates! Hoping to share a few times in December, usually in the afternoons, in addition to other daily posting. I've eased up in a big way on my minibook making. They just don't excite me the way they used to. But I have started (and more importantly finished) holiday books…

Have I mentioned that I had a patio garden this summer? Ah, yes, I have. It's no secret I was totally obsessed. (Though I've currently lost interest and that patio needs a serious intervention this weekend.) It was a huge joy to plant, fuss over, trim, harvest, water, take photos of and eat our garden…

So, this was a lot of fun. Remember how I was going to work on it while on vacation? That didn't happen. Not even a little bit. But over the past week, I pieced it all together and am very happy with the result. My goal was to add something interesting to every page and…

No Project Life update today (I am heading home from a bachelorette adventure in Vegas this morning), but I wanted to share some progress peeks from my Palm Springs minibook that I was working on before I left. I am loving how this book is coming together and it's been fun to play around on…

Paul and I head to Palm Springs this weekend (so excited!) and I'm taking my summer book (with painted cover), some favorite pens, striped washi tape, a few labels & some cute clips. I was anxious to get started last night though, and I added some wrap-around labels with "goals" (I know – geektastic) to…
