Cards!

Its been a little while since I posted some cards, so here they are! A little selection of some of my fave cards from the latter part of this year :)

This was Alicia's Birthday card, I love the hexagon stamp set and punch from Stampin Up! And it was fun to include some sequins on there too!

I am also loving Hot Air Balloons and I have this gorgeous set from Stampin Up. I think doilies on cards are so pretty too, so you'll see them quite a bit on my cards at the moment!

There was something about this patterned paper that I really loved, and there are those hexagons that I love again! This time in Embossing folder form, I have fallen in love with my Cuttlebug again recently and have been embossing and cutting out heaps with it! I love it! I also pulled out my old Circle Circus set and stamped them for some added interesting patterns. Loved this card!

 This card was super quick to make cos I used all buts and pieces off my desk! I love when a card comes together so easily!

 More embossing! More hexagons! This one was inspired by one I saw on Pinterest. Man I love Pinterest!

And so I made the same card in different, more muted colours cos I loved it! There is a different embossing folder. I think I've used my embossing folders more in the past 4 months than I have in 4 years! I love actually using the products I have, and not hoarding them! {tongue in cheek!} YOu know I'm a hoarder but I'm breaking the habit!!
Hope you like my cards!

Project Life, Weeks 28 & 29

More PL catch up! Gotta get through posting a few more weeks at least before the end of 2013! Otherwise I'll have to hang my head in shame at my slackness!
Week 28, LHS
Will made it on to the OH&S Board at work, so I took a pic of his mug shot up on the noticeboard at work! He was so proud to be part of the committee. LOL! Good on him!
Check out Jaimeson's bomber jacket and black cord pants! Dressed by Daddy!
Growing tummy!
What a gorgeous sleeping boy Jaimeson is!
Oh Boy, you should see my Veggie garden now! I have spinach coming out my ears, as well as basil, tomatos, beans and corn & Cucumber on their way too. It's so lush and green from all this rain and warm weather! Its so funny to look back at this pic and see how our hard work watering and fertilizing has paid off!
Week 28, RHS
Will is the one who always takes Jaimeson for his hair cuts, cos Will gets one at the same time. this cut Will came home with a tissue filled with Jaimeson's cuttings, so I was able to include some in my PL! That was awesome!
Oh! Super rare Date Night! They wont happen around here for a while! LOL!
This week also we had lunch at Noodle HOuse and dinner with Ye Ye and the Lams at a Thai Restaurant in North Strathfield. It seems PL is full of food this week!
Week 29, LHS
For the title card this week I got Jaimeson to draw on a 4x6 card for me! I love including little bits of his artwork. So cute!
Op Shopping this week & we had a few scores! How cute is the little ceramic horse?
Baking for Playgroup, and Jaimeson doing a beautiful painting at Playgroup! His first real artistic effort! I love the giant painting smock on him, he looks so small!
Another selfie of Jaimeson!

Week 29, RHS
Coupon lunch date (love lunches with my boys, so they appear quite often in my PL!), a playdate to Alicia's, a selfie of Jai and I, crafting time for Jaimeson and a bike ride for Will.
Once again Will provided the biking pic for my PL! I am so impressed with how he likes to be included in PL! And at least he fakes interest when I show him my pages. {giggles!}
Nearly the weekend! How is your Christmas season going? We're going to Felicity's tomorrow for a Gingerbread House decorating day! I'm so excited! And it will make a great entry into December Daily!

Project Life, Weeks 26 & 27

Hi y'all!
Boy, December already? Who stole half the year? I can't believe 2014 is nearly upon us!
I had anticipated posting some of my December Daily Album and the foundation pages I've made for it, but I haven't photographed it yet {smacking hand for slackness}! So you'll have to make do with some Project Life pages instead :)

 Week 26, LHS.
Mmmmm... photos of food. YUM! {drool} LOL! How I love Pancakes!
My weekly tummy shot, this week I was 22wks pregnant. Tiny little Flinders was in there! (He ain't tiny any more!) I loved that "mommy" card by Studio Calico, despite it being spelt the American way!) and I was hanging out to use it in my PL!
Oh look at little Jaimeson being fed by Will in the high chair. He doesn't sit in the high chair anymore and decided one day that he wanted to sit on a big chair at the table! Oh! {wiping away a tear cos he's growing too fast!} It was quite convenient cos it was about a month before Flynn was born, so we didn't have to worry about Jaimeson not wanting to give up the high chair for Flynn! He did it himself!
Week 26, RHS
This pic of Will and Jaimeson loving my growing tummy is one of my faves, and I love seeing it in PL!
Also this week was a playdate at Felicity's, a coffee date and the start of the Tour de France. I also included a bookmark that was given out at the funeral for Ric (Jaimeson's Godfather's) Mum. That was a nice way for her to be in my PL, rather than a pic of the cemetery!

Week 27, LHS
A morning coffee outing with Will & Jaimeson, meeting up with Bunny (Granny) and Papa at Chullora for Sergio's morning tea and an Op Shopping adventure complete with delicious morning tea (apparently I go out a lot for coffee, LOL!).
Week 27, RHS.
Little boys do love their big machinery, and Jaimeson is no exception! He loved the big Digger that was knocking down the house around the corner from us, and so we walked by it a few times and watched it "BANG!" the house down! How exciting!
Will took Jaimeson to the park & texted me a few pics to include in PL! I love that he helps me out with pics on the days when I'm at work! It' nice to see what the boys get up to when I'm not there {smiles}.
The king of Selfie's first shot of himself! And he hasn't stopped taking selfies since!
Amelia Charlotte is born! She is the baby of good friends of mine, and is named after me! (Well, the Charlotte bit is {wink!}) so High Five! I don't mind sharing my name!
And it was Jai's friend Piet's 2nd Birthday Duck themed Party & afterwards we called in to see Daddy at work.
Have I mentioned how much I love PL, for remembering the simple everyday things, like a selfie, the digger or the park, but also for big things like new babies & birthday parties?! What an awesome album it is to look back on! I love it! And I most certainly will be continuing on in 2014!
Are you Project Lifing next year?
