MKPLxSU September Blog Share

Hi!


Welcome to another Memory Keeping With Project Life by Stampin' Up! blog share. We are a group of SU Demonstrators from all around the globe who share a love of Project Life and Stampin' Up!

This month we have an open theme for our blog share - we could use any collection which took our fancy. I decided to use the Moments Like These collection.

The page I created documents my daughter, Ada, and her recent hair cut. She's very proud of her very long hair, and it had grown to waist length. You can probably see this in the 'before' photos down the left side of the page. A few factors came into play and required her hair to have a trim, the most pressing of which was dance competitions. Her hair needed to be in a ponytail for the comps, but the weight and length made it both difficult to get her hair into a high pony, but also to keep it in the ponytail.

I really loved this simple journaling card. I used my Watermelon Wonder marker to colour the heart and the strip that separated the two parts of the card. I  also used it to highlight a few words here and there in the journaling to add a bit of interest to the page.

I used one of the 2 inch square cards from the coordinating Accessory Pack to create this little feature on the page. I trimmed the card a little though, as I didn't want it to cover too much of the photo underneath. A tiny paperclip from the pack holds it in place.

JAI #308: Just Add M

Hi!


I nearly forgot to submit my Just Add Ink Challenge project this week. Oops! School holidays have a way of making the days run away - I nearly always seem to lose track of where we are up to. I guess that's the point of holidays though!

This week it's my challenge at Just Add Ink, and I am challenging you to Just Add M to your projects. It can be anything to do with M - a colour, theme, stamp set, anything! I have incorporated a few M's into my project, as I'm Memory Keeping using the Moments Like These PL Collection, which includes Metallic accents.

Ada, my daughter, won a Jamberry party in a raffle recently, so we held it on Tuesday night. She got to invite several of her friends, and so did I! The girls has a blast applying their wraps and then painting the rest of their nails with polish. Can you imagine how giggly it got with 4 very excited 10 year old girls? It was such a fun night!

Sigh, my title card didn't quite work the way I'd hoped. The circle in the middle has a little heart, but chopping it down the middle has made it look a bit funny. Oh well! The Metallic Gold stickers I used for the title were from the Moments Like These Accessory Kit.


What M's will you use in your project? There's so much you could use! Melon Mambo, Mother's Day, Made With Love stamp set, markers, masking..... the possibilities are endless! See you over at Just Add Ink.


Bye for now,


Tina
