Another Week Goes By....

Hello and Welcome Everyone!
I'm just popping in with a quick share today!
Life is moving along quickly these days and that means there's always more to add to my Time Line Project!

There hasn't been a whole lot of creative time in my life lately, so I've really enjoyed picking up this project as I really only put about 15 minutes a day into it!
It's just a quick jot down of the day's activities, no matter how mundane they are and perhaps slapping on a sticker or two or quickly stamping an image! Puts a new twist on keeping a diary, doesn't it! It's enough to feel like I've been creative when really I have not felt like being creative as my mojo has gone on vacation...(apparently my mojo doesn't like winter anymore than I do and I'm assuming it's probably vacationing in a warm spot somewhere! LOL)

Anyway, here's a look at how I arranged my Time Line for this week...


I've once again created a quick watercolor background which is really hard to see in this photo as I've had to brighten the image during photo editing.  I've done a little hand drawing and of course you can see I've stamped some whimsical snowflakes on the right hand side as we had a snow storm last night! (I'll get to start off the next week of memory keeping with a storm day as the kids got to stay home today!)

I hope you've enjoyed today's share!
Tell me, do you keep a personal journal, diary or perhaps you've decided to keep a Time Line record as well?  I'd love to hear all about it in the comments below!

Until next time...

Week 2 of the Time Line Project...

Hello Again!
So happy you're here for a little visit!
I have just a quick share for you today, continuing with my Time Line Project through Art Journal Emporium with Tangie Baxter & Co.

If these project is something you haven't heard about yet, I encourage you to go back to the previous post before this one and learn all about it!
I think this is an awesome way to document a little about your life as well as great creative therapy!

Moving onto my second page in my time line...


As you can see, I did continue along with my theme of sketching a few of my own die cuts! (I'm not even going to tell you how many times it took me to get that sneaker to look like a sneaker!  LOL)
Since I am a card maker with a ton of stamps in my possession, I also decided to ink up an Angie Girl by Unity Stamps that pretty much summed up how our weather was for the week...can you say cold!!!

I've used a few stickers by MAMBI as well as some project life journaling cards I'd had laying around for sometime!  I love that this project encourages me to use up what I already have cluttering up my craft room!  LOL

Well, I hope you've enjoyed today's share!
I'd love to know your thoughts on a project like this...would it help you to unwind and destress, would it cause you more stress, do you like the idea of having a non traditional type book put together for the generations that come after you...do you think they will like to have read about the more mundane moments in your life as they compare your life to theirs...
I invite you to leave your comments below!

Until next time...

A Little Planning...

Hello and Welcome!
I'm here with a late night post to share with you the fun I had doing some memory keeping in my Happy Planner last night while the kiddos were in bed and hubby was away.  

My Scarlet Lime Planner Society kit came in the mail last week and I'd been waiting to crack it open and do some decorating.  I love the colors of this kit...they are perfect for saying good bye to summer and hello to fall!

Here's a peek at what I kept myself busy with last night...


I've added in some awesome MAMBI stickers to go along with the theme!  I love that "Say Cheese" sentiment and camera...perfect for the family selfie we took all crowded into our bed in our camper.  We were watching the old classic movie "Heidi" as the rain fell having a great time!  

Here's a closer look at each of the pages...


...and the second...



I also missed posting a week in August that I had completed in my Happy Planner once again using products from the Planner Society monthly kit as well as some more fantastic stickers from Me and My Big Ideas!

Here's a quick peek at those...


Thanks for stopping by for a visit!
I hope I've been able to encourage you to do some memory keeping...and maybe even try a new style of it by using a planner!

Until next time...
