Happy New Year!!!

Happy New Year! I hope you rang in the year with the ones you love! We had an eventful night! First we went to my dads and popped some fireworks then around 11:30pm we headed to the hospital to be with our friend who was stuck in there for his second round of chemo (thankfully he is doing good) and it was awesome because we had a 180 degree view of the city and saw the whole sky lit up with fireworks! And it was great being their with our best friends.
Then we left to our other best friends house to be with some good friends and didn't get home til 3am! Good times, good times!

I also started my own little version of Project Life! If you've never heard of it, its basically a simpler way to scrapbook, and its just little snippets of your days. You can do it daily, weekly, monthly, yearly, etc... I'm doing mine weekly for now, but it may change you never know. So basically one page a week is what I plan.

Now I have to always do my way the budget way so I found this idea on Pinterest where the girl used baseball card sleeves instead of purchasing the actual project life kits. The only downfall is they're all the same size you don't get variety like you would if you got the kit. And you also have to cut your own cards and pictures, I got a paper cutter and a crop-a-dile for the round edges, if you got the kit they actually have a cutter specifically designed for it.

For the Title page I cut off the bottom strip of sleeves so it kind of has a different feel to it, and makes it feel like a "title"(don't mind the pictures, I had Brandon hold them up since it's dark out and there's not really good lighting)

BUT the best part was I went to Office Depot and found the baseball sleeves for $1 a 10 pack! I bought 5, I didn't need that many but you never know when a deal like that is gonna happen again! The sales person probably thought I was an avid baseball card collector LOL

For now I have them organized in a regular binder but I bought some fabric to cover, Im going to attempt to make it but if it fails then I'll just go out and buy a pretty binder. 

I bought some stickers and a little book of card stock and cut them all to make little cards .

 

And I also pinned so many free printables of quotes and different things so I'm excited to document the whole year! I hope I enjoy it all year so I can continue it!


Again Happy New Year!!!
