I think this is the week of sharing lifted layouts, well at least for today again anyway. I was planning to share a photo of my workspace, you know for workspace Wednesday, but I lost my light to take the picture and had other things come up that took my attention away while I had the light. Don't you just love when life has other plans? 

That said, I still wanted to pop in and share, so I'm sharing the layout I had planned to share tomorrow. No big deal really since my plan for Friday changed too, it all worked out in the end. And holy bananas, I've now posted three days in a row!! What a change a challenge makes!!

For this layout, I lifted the fabulous Geralyn Sy and this layout from her Odyssey gallery over at Studio Calico. Loved the simplicity of it. I just stretched it out to 12x12 so it fit into my album and used a different chipboard circle. I changed a few other details as well, but overall I'm pretty happy with how this lift turned out.

I'm planning to be back tomorrow and Friday with more layouts to share, lifted or otherwise, before I take a break over the weekend. Hope your Wednesday is treating you well!! Thanks for stopping by!

hello love

I love this photo. I love this selfie. I took it one day back in December as we were on our way to some event or something, to be honest I don't even remember. I remember putting on my Edelman jersey (NE Patriots and one of my favorite players) because I was happy that he was finally back at practice after being injured earlier in the season. Even though he wasn't cleared to play yet, I was, like most Patriot fans, excited that he was back at practice. I couldn't wait to scrapbook the photo and even changed things around in the 2015 albums to fit it in. Love the way it turned out. Loved lifting this layout from Marcy Penner's Cirque gallery. 

Hope you have a fabulous Tuesday!! Thanks for stopping by!

february...a lifted layout

Happy May!!! I've been ignoring the blog for a few months but I've issued myself a personal challenge of blogging Monday through Friday during the month of May!! Hoping it takes and continues into June and throughout the rest of 2016. And really, how is it May already?!? Didn't we just celebrate Christmas???

I've got some projects that I am planning to share over this week that I lifted from other scrapbookers as I work my way through some of the older kits in my stash. With school and other life commitments, staying current with my Studio Calico kits really isn't an option. I supposed I could use the current one and work backwards through them, but that's just not how my brain works.

I've got a few layouts left to share from the Cirque kit then I'll be moving onto Lisse St. (which was a favorite of mine and I haven't completely loved a kit like I loved Lisse St. in a long time...I might have gotten 3 of these kits that's how much I loved it)!

In 2014 and 2015 I was using the collect app on my phone to document the month and this is the monthly layout for February 2015. I lifted this layout from Lisa Truesdell's gallery.  I made a few adjustments in terms of color scheme and stretching the layout to 12x12, but it's a pretty straight forward lift. Love lifting layouts when I'm trying to work through my backlog of kits at a pretty quick pace. I'm thinking of pulling out of of my old sketchbook classes for a few layouts in the very near future. Those are some of my favorite classes!!

Happy Monday and Happy May!! Did I mention that I can't get over the fact that it's May already?!?

Thanks for stopping by!!
