Unlike my week 10 spread, I'm very happy with how this one came out. I put a little more time and effort into the planning before printing, which made all the difference in my mind. Here's a closer look at the spread. ...
I used to not like stamping. At all. I thought it made Project Life spreads look too busy. What I didn't realize is that while stamping can sometimes be too much, it's all about how you approach the process that makes the difference. I'm happy to say that I'm now a stamp convert. Being on the Kellie Stamps creative team helped a lot,...
I've debated over and over whether or not to share this week. You know why? Because I'm very unhappy with how it turned out. BUT, there's a lesson in that: that it's done, and that's better than nothing. So, I decided to share it and move on. Here's a closer look.

“You’re going to have to muster all the mommy patience you have,” my father in law said, as he headed towards the door on Tuesday night.

I'm so looking forward to sharing their projects with you over the next six months and can only hope that you all find inspiration from them the same way...
Week nine is in the bag. A lot of big changes happened over the span on this week, like my applying for, interviewing for, scoring and starting a new full-time job within the span of four days. Phew! Because I was a little short on photos and because I fell in love with the print when I saw it, I decided to blow...
I've got another big round of releases in my shop now, including some journal cards to document your road trips this summer and your (hopefully few and far in between) bad days. Also available now is a set for documenting your daily happenings, and my first go at digital photo templates. All are available in the shop now and are 10% off today...
I'm feeling a little like Stella these days, friends. As in: Stella got her groove back. I mentioned previously that I was struggling a little with my weekly spreads, and creating work I wasn't entirely proud of. Speaking of which, did you hear my podcast with Jess a couple weeks ago? I touch on how I got over my third year burn out....
