Happy Little Memories

[Warning: photo-heavy post]

I have finally finished making my mini book for the “Happy Little Moments” class given by Studio Calico last March! What took me so long? Lack of time, and doing a page at a time, little by little when time allowed. But it’s completed now, and here is my version:

This was a really fun book to make, and I love it. I really have taken to the shabby imperfection of this look, and I think I may try something like this on future layouts.

Thanks for stopping by, and thanks for looking! Have a great weekend!

What I’ve been up to.

The last time I blogged, it was a Sunday, and I didn’t know what to do with my craft itch. I ended up making a mini book, from Erin Zamrzla, and it was a lot of fun!

It’s a really cute little book, and if I didn’t already have a travel Moleskine for New York, I would be taking that with me (Yes, I’m going to New York for the first time with my hubby tomorrow!), I would be taking this cute little book for notes and to stick ephemera into. It’s a great size; big enough to write comfortable in, but small enough to stick into your purse.

I also recently signed up for Studio Calico’s Happy Little Moments class, as did my mom. She’s really getting the scrap bug like I did, and I love that! We got our kits, and got together at her house last Monday to start work:

After opening the box and just getting started...

Half way through....what a happy mess!

My sweet mom; we had a blast together doing this project!

We didn’t finish, but I promise myself to do that and then photograph my finished book and post it here. I’ll also have New York photos to put together into some sort of cohesive book, and I’m debating how, but my mom did get me a nice Smash-style book from Fancy Pants that looks like it just might fit the ticket. We’ll see.

And, as for Project Life, I’m fairly caught up, except for today and yesterday, but this is what I have that’s been photographed so far:

Project life, week 11

And I have more filled in since then, so next time I post, I will include that. I’ll also have lots of exciting posts from New York, as well. Cannot wait!! My shop will be closed starting this evening so I won’t have to worry about incoming orders, but I’ll open it back up on Saturday, March 31. Take care everyone, and have a great evening!
