So, Project Life/Pocket Scrapbooking.

Love the concept of scrapbooking on a smaller scale.

A big shout out to Sherry for encouraging me to get something done yesterday...although I finished up on it this morning.

My girl has had glasses since she was in the first grade.  She'll be 20 next year and still loves to wear glasses and has no interest in contacts.  They are always a fashion statement, always coordinating with her outfit for the day.  Love her colored frames for this year...designed for Calvin Klein, they are literally weightless.

The boy.  He's never needed glasses but last year they hinted that a pair for reading might be good.  This year he was overjoyed to be able to pick out a pair of frames.  Hip and Retro...that's my boy.  The pic is so serious...he's not usually that way....

Kimberly will be so proud of me for using the MAMBI cards that she gifted me!

I forced myself to do include handwritten journaling {thought of you Yvonne!}.  

I wanted to share what I spent a majority of yesterday morning doing:

MUCH better:

It doesn't take long for my work surface to get filled up....this is how it looked after working on my PL:

Hi, my name is Amy and I LOVE Project Life/journal cards:

I bought all those for $6 from a local shop that was moving...I may have 5 other vessels that are filled with more PL cards.

So tonite I'm gathering with a bunch of friends to celebrate some birthdays.  We're hitting a new place by the Pike Place Market and I'm looking forward to it.

We don't generally exchange gifts but I'm bringing a couple card sets for the birthday girls.  I already posted one of them HERE.

Here's my second giftie, the cards were already designed, I just need the packaging:

cardstock:  american crafts gold glitter card  other:  whisker graphics gold horizontal stripe middy bitty bag, MME/record it/charmed journal card, misc clip

Gold.

I ♡ Gold.

So my base is the lovely Whisker Graphics Gold Horizontal Stripe Middy Bitty Bag.  Yes, it rocks.  That Glittery panel is an American Crafts card base that I sliced in half.  It really is quite glorious.  I may just ask the birthday girl if I can have it back...wait, is that rude?  LOL.  She's not a crafter and I cringe to think it might, gasp, end in the wastebasket?!

So here's the giftie set all together:

The card set is from the last PTI blog hop.  I made a belly band using Chickaniddy Crafts Gold Lox.

Today is suppose to hit a balmy 90.  ugh.
