Trying To Be More Organized

Good Morning!

I've got a few photos to share with you, of a project I'm working on at the moment and it's not crochet! I'm making a craft planner to try and organize my time a little better. I was inspired to make it by one of Lilibee's lovely classes and a planner kit, that I wish I'd bought when it was out! The folder is upcycled, it was a guide to money for new parents, given to me by my midwife.

 

To decorate the planner I used papers and embellishments from Sassafras-Sunshine Lollipop, Prima-Rebellious, American Crafts-Craft Fair and Blue Skies, Cosmo Cricket-Nutmeg. I've also used Red Velvet Art Paper Dolls, embroidery patterns and some black and white colouring book illustrations which came free with the RVA Small Craft Class that I took last year.

 To make the page tabs, I downloaded and printed off some free fonts from dafont.com, onto printable acetate. Since taking this photo I have changed it a little bit and double up on the months, because the planner was filling up too fast and it only had dividers in it!

 

More to come soon!

Lilibee Studio Giveaway

Make sure you check out the Lilibee Studio Blog, there's a great giveaway. You can win the Apple Jack stash required to make the new One Week One Project. I'm going to start on that this weekend I hope!

We're in the middle of decorating the front bedroom at the moment, this will be Dylan's new room. We bought some gorgeous things for his bedroom last weekend from Ikea, curtains , bed set and a blanket similar to Iggle Piggle's. I've also bought some Apple Jack stash because I'm going to make some altered frames for Dylan's bed room, so watch this space!

There's also a layout I'd like to share with you as well today, It's Create 10 Project 9. I've skipped 8 and 10 for now, I'm in a frenzy of nesting at the moment! The prompt for this layout was to use more than one photo on the page. I've used photos of Dylan chatting to Auntie Clare's rabbits.

I used papers from Sassafras Sunshine Lollipop and Prima Marketing My Mommy and Me. I've embellished the page with Prima My Mommy and Me Rub Ons, wooden ladybirds, Japanese deco tape, ribbon and hand stitching. The alphas are all American Crafts Thickers.

Thanks for stopping by!

Create 10 Project 7

Good Morning! Here's my layout for Create 10 Project 7. The prompt for this class was to include a handprint on the page. I chose to use one of Dylan's rather than my own, I thought it would be a nice thing to look back on in few years! He didn't reckon much to me painting on his hand, he hates having dirty hands! I also asked him to draw a picture for me that morning to include on the page.

Papers used;Sassafras, Anthem. Cosmo Cricket, The Boyfriend. Basic Grey, Lime Rickey.

Alphas; Sassafras, American Crafts Thickers and others.

Embellishments; Sassafras stickers and paper whimsies. Die cut flowers.


Also don't forget to check out LilibeeStudio where you'll find a new One Week One Project tutorial. It's a lovely colourful mini album using the new Sassafras Apple Jack line. I'll be starting that project next week, when I've completed the rest of my Create 10 Layouts! I'm trying not to burn myself out! :)

Have a great weekend!
