Documenting Christmas, Dec 26-31 - with Scrappy Canary!

Today I'm showing you the last pages of my "Schultz Christmas 2015" Documenting December Album (for December 26-31) and these are also the last pages of my PL 2015 album!

I've used the Nov/Dec Pocket Life kit "Jessica" from Scrappy Canary.

This first layout is for December 26-29. 

Here is a close up of the LHS. It was a nice change to go back to non-Christmas papers/embellies and I love the natural look of many of the papers and elements in this kit.

On the days after Christmas we enjoyed a few movies, reading and trying out our Christmas presents!

Here is a close up of the RHS. Jessica got a "Cats cradle" hand/string  set for Christmas which has been fun to try out (a toy/activity from the "Olden days"). She also enjoyed a day at a local water slide - complete with coffee, icecream and fish n chips!

Here is a close up of the last page of my album. There are lots of photos of my parents 50th wedding anniversary. My mom had kept her wedding and bridesmaids dresses, so my sister Gayle, my niece Ella, and Rachael wore them on the day - very special!

All of my photos have been printed on an Epson XP-600. 

Thanks so much for stopping by

Project Life Week 47 - With Scrappy Canary!

Today I'm showing you Week 47 for my "Schultz Family 2015" Project Life Album. This week is only Mon-Fri because I started "Documenting Christmas" on the Saturday. I've also only used 1 page as the other side was used for the title page for Christmas.

This week I've used the Nov/Dec Pocket Life kit Jessica from Scrappy Canary. The photos are of my Jessica's end of year gymnastics display, and a visit to the local Cherry Shed Cafe - cherries ... yumm!

Here is a close up of the LHS. The gold patterned card was in the kit and I've added some gold accent stickers.

There are some gold foiled acetate cards in the kit and I've overlayed one on some of the patterned paper - and attached using tiny staples. 

I printed my journalling direct onto patterned paper then added a strip of paper, a fussy cut journal tab, and a gold accent sticker.

All of my photos have been printed on an Epson XP-600.

Project Life Week 46 - With Scrappy Canary!

Today I'm showing you Week 46 for my "Schultz Family 2015" Project Life Album. This was a busy week in the lead up to the end of school year and I had lots of photos!

This week I've used the Nov/Dec Pocket Life kit Jessica from Scrappy Canary.

Here is a close up of the LHS. The papers and embellishments in this kit are a mix of subtle and bold with a splash of gold!

When we went out for dinner we had this amazing (and large) dessert - eating out is all about dessert isn't it!?! I cut these labels from a sheet of the patterned paper, they are perfect for adding journalling to your cards!

I was lucky enough to be able to attend Finnabair's "overemotional" class at Seriously Scrapbooking in Adelaide, so much amazing inspiration from Anna and all the other lovely ladies at the class :)

Here is a close up of the RHS. I've printed my journalling for the week directly onto a piece of the patterned paper, and used some of the fun circle alphas as a title.

The patterned paper has lots of elements that can be fussy cut to add extra detail to your cards - and a paperclip is always a fun addition to a card. The "xoxo" stamp is the roller stamp from the Leila SB kit . I'm a roller stamp junkie and have at least 20 of them!!  

The photos here were taken when Rachael had a day home from school with conjunctivitis - she was so bored she dressed up in her life jacket and practiced the piano!!

I've used lots of the Pink Paislee clear accent stickers from the kit on the cards and photos.

All of my photos have been printed on an Epson XP-600.

Documenting Christmas, Nov 22-25 - with Scrappy Canary!

Today I'm showing you more pages of my "Schultz Christmas 2015" Documenting December Album - For November 22-25.

I'm aiming to have 2 days to a page and handwritten journalling for each day. I've mainly used the Document December kit from Scrappy Canary as well as some other items from my stash.

Here is a close up of the LHS. Sunday 22nd November was the day after we put up our Christmas tree and our Elves had arrived, yay!!! Jessica was so excited - so were we all :)

These sparkly thickers are awesome!! 

Here is a close up of the RHS. Lots more Elf on the Shelf photos and I've used lots more goodies, including stamps, on this page :)

Our school had a bike-a-thon which was just fantastic, and now all our bikes are fixed and working and we can load them easily onto our car!

Thanks so much for stopping by

Project Life Week 45!

Today I'm showing you Week 45 for my "Schultz Family 2015" Project Life Album. 

Again this week I've kept it achievable and used up more of my existing stash!

Here is a close up of the LHS. This week Jessica learnt to ride her bike - very exciting!! You cant stop her now. I also went shopping in the city and had a great time looking through an art supply shop!!

Here is a close up of the RHS. Rachael helped with the hay carting by driving the tractor - awesome!

All of my photos have been printed on an Epson XP-600.

Project Life Week 44!

Today I'm showing you Week 44 for my "Schultz Family 2015" Project Life Album. 

I'm playing PL catch-up and so this week I've used bits and pieces from my stash and kept it simple!

Here is a close up of the LHS. This week was all about the everyday, summer eating and local beers! 

My preference is to have as many filler cards as photos and to include lots of wood veneer!  

Here is a close up of the RHS. These photos were all about "on the farm" and preparing for summer :) 

My first red rose for the season - A David Austin rose, my favourite! 

All of my photos have been printed on an Epson XP-600.

Project Life Week 42 and 43 - With Scrappy Canary!

Today I'm showing you Week 42 and 43 for my "Schultz Family 2015" Project Life Album. I didn't have many photos for these weeks, and I've been madly trying to catch up on my PL before I start to document Christmas, so I did a week to a page here.

This week I've used the final bits and pieces of my October pocket life kit Santa Monica from Scrappy Canary as well as some paper from the Venice Beach scrapbook kit (also in the paper add on kit), and some other bits and bobs.

Here is a close up of the LHS. I've used some of the Pinkfresh acetate cards from the kit for this page.

I've kept this card simple with some leftover paper offcuts from the paper pad, and I printed my journalling directly on the grid card from the kit.

I used an acetate card over a white card and some of the washi strips from the kit. 

Here is a close up of the RHS.  

I made some feathers with the washi strips in the kit. They are quick and easy to make by just folding the washi back on itself then cutting into an approx leaf/feather shape then adding a few snips on the sides. 

All of my photos have been printed on an Epson XP-600.

Project Life Week 41 - With Scrappy Canary!

Today I'm showing you Week 41 for my "Schultz Family 2015" Project Life Album. This week was the second week of mid semester school holidays for us.

This week I've used the last of my October pocket life kit Santa Monica from Scrappy Canary as well as some paper from the Venice Beach scrapbook kit (also in the paper add on kit).

Here is a close up of the LHS. Some of these cards were cut from a sheet of paper from the Venice Beach scrapbook kit - I love these quotes! I used my Fuse to change the pockets on this page from 6x6 to 3x3.

All these cards needed was a few puffy stickers, enamel dots and wood veneer.

Jessica loved sharing her pony with her friend. It was so much fun to ride double :)

Here is a close up of the RHS. Again, I used my Fuse to customise the pockets on this page.

Rachael always carries a purse and phone wherever she goes. Jessica found an old phone and had to do the same - bless her :)

I took this photo of Jessica while she was waiting for her friend to arrive for a play date - watching out the window for their car to arrive. Waiting is so hard for 7 year olds!

All of my photos have been printed on an Epson XP-600.

Project Life Week 39!

Today I'm showing you Week 39 for my "Schultz Family 2015" Project Life Album.

This week I've used goodies from the April Messy Box from A Beautiful Mess, as well as other bits and pieces from my stash.

Here is a close up of the LHS. This week was the last week of school for Term 3 so I was on a mission before the holidays. Rachael did a big sort through of her bedroom (clothes and toys) so she had a good excuse to go clothes shopping!!

Krispy Kreme donuts ... yumm!

Rachael's room sort out exposed lots of unwanted Beanie Kids - Jessica's dream come true!!

Here is a close up of the RHS.

Most of these photos were taken during my trip to the city to get the car serviced. As well as a friendly koala in the garden!

There is always time for a "waiting for the bus" selfie!!

All of my photos have been printed on my Epson XP-600.
