Here is the card I created for my Mother's birthday. I just know she is going to love it.

Here is a pocket card I created for my PL album.

Watercoloring Your Valentines Day

Hi there, I can not believe that it's almost Valentines day. This year is already going by super fast. Today I wanted to share with you all some Valentines Day cards that I made for my Project Life album using watercolors. I was totally inspired these Watercolor hearts flair badges in The Crafty Pickle shop.

So I cut me down some 3x4 blank cards and got out my watercolor pencils and started creating. Here are the cards that I came up with.

 I hope that these cards inspire you to pull out your watercolors and create some fabulous cards. Thanks for stopping by and Happy Crafting!!


 

My 2015 word

Hi there, today I wanted to share my word that I had chosen for this new year. This year I chose the word simplify. I chose this word for numerous reasons but most of all to just make my life easier. I always like to document my word for the year in my first page in my PL album. This year I wanted to really have my word stand out and make it special, so I added some custom flair badges from The Crafty Pickle. I even designed the simplify badge and Taniesa was awesome to create it for me. And I have to say I love how it turned out.  Below are the two cards I created to spotlight my word Simplify for the year 2015. With the first card I added the Simplify flair badge and wanted that to be the focal point of the card. In the second card I added the 2015 flair badge to emphasize the year, then I added my journaling on why I chose my word.

So whats your word for the year 2015? I would love to hear how you came to choose your word and how you plan on documenting it. How would you like to win your own word flair badge along with a 2015 flair badge. All you need to do is leave me a comment by Saturday Jan 25th at 10:00 pm. I will then draw a winner on Sunday Jan 26th. Also during this time Taniesa is offering 15% off purchase of $10 or more using coupon code TCP2015 now though Sunday Good luck and I can't wait to hear your 2015 word. 

Until  next time,
 

It's Beginning to Look A Lot Like Christmas

Hi there, I am getting so excited that the holiday season is upon us. I couldn't wait to get started on my December Daily album. I am using a Burlap binder from Simple Stories along with some other goodies. I especially love my personalized flair that I got from The Crafty Pickle. I even requested the wood grain background so it would coordinate with my album.

Here is my finished album cover for my December Daily 2014

 Here is a close up of my wonderful personalized flair

Please be sure to stop by The Crafty Pickle and check out all the great flair and sequins. Also remember that Taniesa takes custom requests.  And for more great projects please check out The Crafty Pickle blog.
