When I worked at Paper Source and had daily access to fantastic patterned paper, I fell in love with gift wrap & ribbon. Now, it's hard to shake the habit of putting effort into my wrapping, but I don't always have a chance to shop for large sheets of perfect paper. My solution? Paint it.…

Wow. I feel like I just did June's entry. Not to wish away the days or anything…but I am hoping autumn rushes past just like summer seems to. Exact same process every month. I'll be buying refill pages soon and another album to keep up this project in 2012. See January, February, March, April, May…

I'm super excited to join in with Ali Edwards' Week in the Life this time around. I am going to take lots of photos (hoping for 15-20 good ones each day) Monday through Friday this week. I'll be sharing the photos and some text here on the blog every evening. (Every morning there will still…

Better late than never I always say. As I was putting this together yesterday I kept thinking it was already August. No need to rush the rest of July out the door, Elise. Text close-up. Fonts are Optima & Bead Chain. See January, February, March, April & May. Album by the awesome folks at Kolo.

Same song, different verse. Lots of projects made the pages this month! Am loving, loving, loving this book. Updates take about two hours a month from start to finish. Check plus. See January, February & March.

Moving right along. A few people mentioned that they wanted to see updates to this album. I promise, there will be monthly updates. This is the best documentation plan I have had in a loooong time and I will be blogging the previous month during the first week of each new month. I think this…

Weeks ago, I mentioned I was trying to think of a way to document this year. I considered a lot of ideas and for awhile thought I was going to go entirely digital with an album or book. But printing all those digital 8.5×11 pages seemed expensive and waiting until the end of the year…

HEY-YO. Happy Monday? We had a blast in Disneyland this past weekend and now it's my favorite part of vacationing – getting back into the routine. (No joke.) I have a list of things I want to get done this week including lots of outdoor runs and a big chunk of the blog design workshop…
