Project Life Tuesday: August 20 - 26, 2012...

I've got a new Project Life spread to share with you, but first I want to mention that...

The Scrapping The Music Anniversary Challenge slideshow is up at the STM blog, and it is so cool!  Come on over and check out the beautiful layouts and journal pages that our participants submitted!!! Click here to see the slideshow!

Okay - on to Project Life...

This was a fun week to document because it was my birthday! I turned 53 on the 21st and it was an awesome day. All three kids (Tony, Becca and Steve) were able to come for dinner, along with Becca's boyfriend Chad and Steve's girlfriend Rita. We had veggie burgers on the grill, and Michael baked me the most delectable vegan cake - chocolate with cherry filling and yummy vanilla frosting with sprinkles!

Here's how my layout turned out...

Closeup of Left side...

 Ephemera on this page includes a packing slip for some computer-related happy mail that Michael got from China this week.  Also, I scanned in his new certificate and shrunk it down to 4x6.  The 3x4 with the book text is a thought for the day for my birthday.  It's from Michael's AA book.  And okay - those sheep!!!  Oh my goodness they are so cute!!!  Michael has the rotating desktop wallpapers from bing, and one day this week those sheep came up and we both just LOVED them!  I just have to share a bigger photo so you can see them better...

Aren't they the funniest, cutest things ever???!!!  I looked them up, and they are from an Island in Ireland called Achille.  I guess they are all over the place there.  They are dyed bright colors for identification purposes.  So cute, I just had to include them!  

On to the right side...

Ephemera included here: The packaging from one of my new Woodland Park goodies from October Afternoon (I'd been waiting for months for that collection to be released!); a BEAUTIFUL handmade card that was sent to me by my friend Linda Phinney, along with some awesome happy mail last week.  (Thanks again so much Linda!!!); and packaging from a new stapler and Moleskine that I purchased.

I'm still reeling with excitement about all of the new Project Life designs that are appearing!  Along with the Seafoam edition that I mentioned yesterday, I want to mention two other AWESOME ideas for next year...

Heather Bailey's Olive Edition of Project Life:  Beautiful colors, and I love how she marries florals with graphics!  And besides, Heather also designs beautiful fabric!  (I'm envisioning making some sort of coordinating tote bag for PL supplies???)

And also, this isn't official Project Life stuff, but the OH Sn@p Line from Simple Stories.  They have lots of brightly colored 3x4 and 4x6 card designs coming out, along with coordinating labels, stickers, etc.

Put all of this together and next year's Project Life is going to be COLORFUL and FUN!!!

Thanks so much for visiting and I will see you soon!
