Life in Details July Challenge

Project Life Share 2013

Hello there!
Yes I now it has been a long time since I have updated my blog.  I have been very busy with my 50 card challenge (more details on that in another post).
Today I welcome you to another Life in Details Challenge.  This months challenge is to use a 4x6 picture across 2 pockets.

Project Life 2013 Week 28

This page is the left side of Week 28 and docuements our road trip back home from Florida. Truthfully, I don't remember what state that bridge is in.  HA.  So much for documenting the details.  

I used Crate Paper's The Pier Collection as well as Basic Grey's Carte Postale to document the entire trip. Please don't laugh at me and my goofy face...I was delirious at that point of the trip!

My original idea was to use a few pictures of the trip in the Family Project Life Album and then create a handbook for the entire trip.  BUT I ended up documenting the entire trip in the PL album and didn't add any memorabilia.  I'm glad I changed my plan because otherwise the pictures would still be sitting in my computer.  

Please join us for this month's challenge!  I think you'll like what the rest of the design team has shared this month.  

I'm also linked up at The Mom Creative.

Thanks or stopping by!

50 Card Challenge Update and a new challenge.

I reached my goal!

I did it! I met the challenge!  In fact I created 61 cards!  I am excited, proud and in disbelief. A few times after setting up the challenge I questioned if I would ever reach it.

Lawn Fawn Love You S'more

This card is a complete copy of the one on the Lawn Fawn Blog.

Unfortunately many of the cards were NOT photographed before sending them off.  As a result, I did not join many of the card challenges that I thought would motivate me to create.  I guess my motivation was internal! I'm off work for the summer and hope to continue making cards and catch up on PL.

I decided to stamp on the inside of the card and am happy with the result!

As my reward I purchased some new stamp sets!  As I was working on the challenge I noticed that I was enjoying my card making style and at the same time wanted to step out of my comfort zone. I decided that I would buy more 'CUTE' stamp sets.  Most of my stamps are florals and classic.  I did not have 'cute' stamps.

I purchased several sets from Lawn Fawn and Mama Elephant.  Purchasing these stamp sets also made my 5 year old daughter (who works right along with me) very happy!

I am setting another challenge for myself again but in a different way.  During the challenge I did not take pictures of all my cards and didn't get the opportunity to enter many challenges.  My new challenge will include both those tasks. A card will not count towards the challenge until it has been photographed, blogged and entered in a challenge (if applicable).  I am setting my goal at 20 cards. I believe this to be a realistic goal because I AM OFF FROM WORK FOR THE SUMMER!

My hope is that the challenge will help me establish a blogging routine.

So who will join  me? Have you set a goal (card or scrapping) for yourself? I would love to follow you during your challenge.
Thanks for stopping by!
