Hunter's Missionary album page 1

I seriously kicked myself in the butt the entire time Hunter

was out serving his mission thinking...

"I really should work on his album, then it will be done when he comes home."

Kick as I might, I did nothing!

Now, I'm so stinking ecstatic that I didn't.

Why? you ask.

Because of:

The Elder Edition for the Project Life by Becky Higgins.

Also We R Memory Keepers Albums made Easy.

It's so easy. You pick an album.

Pick your photos & cards.

Journal and plunk them in.

I call it a 'plunk it' system.

Here's the opening page for Hunter's album

The fun part is you can just plunk the cards in or you can still get a little creative.

I used the sewing machine, some foam squares

and some paint splatter and this is the result.

I did cut apart a couple of the cards, but not to worry... you get about 5 of each card so you're not

losing out at all. There's the little heart to highlight Santa Rosa, California. The different quotes & scriptures throughout the cards are so perfect.

Next I'm working on pages for the things he did to prepare to leave on his mission.

Fun stuff! If anyone ever wants to play... C'mon over!

7 days without SCRAPBOOKING...

makes one week! hee, hee, hee, hee, hee

Today is my first post on the Leaky Shed Studio Blog,
here is a sneak peek at my fun project...

You can see both of my projects here, on the Leaky Shed's Blog.

If you haven't seen or heard about the Julie Nutting Dolls.... just go to Pinterest (my google) and put in those words and ♪ ♫ A whole new world ♫ ♪ will be opened up to you and you can join the ride.
It certainly is a fun one!

Also... I started playing with Project Life. Two pages in and I'm an ADDICT. My first project is doing my oldest son, Hunter's mission. I was so glad I didn't start his mission album while he was on his mission, because just this summer, Becky released an LDS Missionary edition of Project Life.
Way. Too. Much. Fun.

As soon as I figure out how to take a picture of those without the glare, I'll share them with you.

PS I got my first email from my current missionary Bridger today and this is One Happy Momma!! If you're not on our mass email to forward Bridger's email and you want to be... send me your email.
Love that kid!!!
