Weekly Stampin' Up! Product Review - Project Life



Do you scrapbook?  Don't you wish it was alittle easier and not so time consuming?  Well, this is exactly what I thought after I made my first scrap book.  I was so happy when Stampin' Up! added the Project Life scrap booking system to their catalog.


Project Life is a simple system for organizing your photos into albums.  A few basic products are all that you need to get you started, so you can spend more time living and less time memory-keeping.

Built for Free Using: My Stampin Blog


I currently use Project Life for my scrap booking needs and I LOVE it!!  It has made scrap booking for me so much easier, it has taken alot of the guess work as to how to lay out pages, given me more ideas on how to make my photos look that much better.

Holiday Catalog Sneak Peak

It's almost September 1 and you know what that means?!!! We can almost order from the Stampin' Up! Holiday Catalog!!!  I know you can't wait, and I can't wait to show you this "sneak peak"!!!

 I just love using these different colors to make this great Halloween card!!!

I am just loving the black spider web doilies that are in the lower left corner, how neat are these?!!!  I also lightly sponged smoky slate ink onto the Woodland Textures Embossed background, which to me gave it an even more scary look!

Here are the items that I used to make this great card:
