Scrapbook/ Project Life Style

Ok, so I wanted to share the scrapbook pages and the Project Life Style pages from my scrapbook as in the video from yesterday.

Also, wanted to let you u know that I'm working on my 2012 and 2013 album right now.
I had many things go on with my health in the beginning of last year that was a big set back for me in my life and that also included a set back in me scrapbooking my family album. With that said this is why I have both 2012 and 2013 scrapbooks in progress. So you will see many pages that say 2012 but those are actually current things I'm working on. This is where the Project Life Style with my spin on it works great for me.

A little Warning I'm not the best at photographing the Project Life Pages without the glare. This along with working out my skin tones in some of the pics will be my challenge this year! :)

So here it goes:

My Title Page for my 2012 album that I'm currently working on. I use all Becky Higgins Page Protectors for all of my Pages. Love love love this cute paper from American Crafts Dear Lizzy Neapolitian Collection.

Celebrating New Year's Eve with my brother and his family is always the most fun and it has become a tradition each year for us. Paper is from Echo Park, Times & Season's collection.

which I trimmed the top and sides of this page protector to make more of a custom size.

We where out for a little bike ride to drop some Etsy packages off to the post office and grab some lunch. Bike riding is one of my favorite ways to spend time with my boys.

Of course the birth of my sweet little nephew Max, was a must for his own personal 12x12 page.

I trimmed off the side column of pockets for a more custom size.

Love adding all the fun everyday day pics to my scrapbook without requiring much space but al the fun.

This is a 12x12 page that I choose to incorporate different special memories of the day into one page.

My son's special little girl cat Fozzy Bear needed her own page to highlight all her sweet cuteness. Yes, I know she has a little boy's name for a girl cat but it just fits that silly little girl. :)

Having Fun at CHA, I always say what's most fun about CHA is FRIENDS!!!

My sweet little niece Bunny along with more papers and embellishments from AmericanCrafts Dear Lizzy Neapolitan collection. The doilie paper is from another company.

My sweet little Joshies's 13th birthday we celebrated at Farrell's Ice Cream Parlor. It's such a fun experience to share something from my day with the kid's and for them to love and get as much joy out of it as I did when I was a little kiddo.

Once again I trimmed off the side page pockets to customize for my photos.

a last minute Real Housewives of the OC premiere party night with friends!!!

My Sweetheart and I out for a little quiet time for dessert and latte's at Crepe de' Paris, on Valentine's.

Then it was home to make homemade heart shaped pizza's with the kiddo's and enjoy Valentine's as a family. Yes, we had dessert first! :)

I ended up i the hospital later that night on Valentine's with the worse debilitating severe pain to my head, blacking out in the emergency room and spending some time in the hospital. With a much long year of recovery from this event. I've come along way from where I was almost a year ago and I still continue to research to find the best possible options for my health. I continue to get better all the time.

My Birdie, (husband's) Birthday! :)

Last but not least this is scrapbook page is my latest I did last week at a crop of my o' so sweet little niece bunny. The papers and colors where so fun to use on this little layout.

I hope you enjoyed seeing my pages that I'm currently worked on and how I use the Project Life style in my scrapbooks for all my special everyday pics, just without scrapbooking each week in a double page spread. This has really made it freeing for me to work at my own pace.

My Spin on Project Life...

   I put together this quick video sharing my spin on adapting your scrapbooking style with the Project Life style of scrapbooking. This way your free to work on your album in a no pressure format instead of  a weekly format incase that's not working for you. It keeps the original style of scrapbooking in a chronological order with the fun look and style that I love of the everyday that Project Life offers, but none of the pressure.

I hope that this video helped give you some ideas on how you might like to incorporate your scrapbooking style with the O' so cute fun style of Project Life.

* In the video I use all of Becky Higgins, Project Life Page Protectors instead of other brands. I like the look and styles of her Page Protectors and it helps me keep a more cohesive look to my scrapbook by using all the same brand.

I just recently put together a youtube channel and I'm looking forward to sharing many more fun crafty tips and ideas with you. If you would like to checkout or subscribe to my Youtube channel for fun future up dates just click on this link. http://www.youtube.com/tammyinman7

Cars Ride at California Adventure

A short quick trip to Disney's California Adventure:

Yes, I can finally say we rode the Cars ride also known as Radiator Springs ride at Disney California Adventure!  Now I can see exactly what all the hype for this ride is about. It was so much darn fun and such a throw back to the larger great rides of Disney Past like Splash Mountain, Haunted Mansion, Big Thunder, and so many others that have all the detail and fun added in. This was definitely no throw together ride, but one that will be enjoyed for many many decades to come.

Here's a quick pic of the scenery of the Cars ride i took while waiting in line. It's so pretty and you can catch a small glimpse of the waterfall in the lower right corner of the photo. By the way at this point the anticipation is REALLY building.

I must say I have a ton of sympathy for those that go to Disney and need to use the wheelchairs because it's definitely not as easy as it seems to get around. Especially when you have one kiddo with crutches and two silly crazy boys. :) (Cars Que)

Just hopped in our blue Cars ride car and off we goooooooooooooo………… :)

Heading into a cave which I had no idea that this ride also had an inside adventure part to it. BONUS!!!

Heading into Tail Light Caverns...

Only one pic from inside as where exiting because all the rest came out way to blurry. Sorry. :(

And where off on a speeding race… over the heels and sharp turns burning rubber around the corners.

Cars was such a thrilling, exciting, and very fun ride! So much fun to experience a new Disney ride with the kiddo's! We left the ride so thrilled, giggling, and laughing away.

Here's our view from the look out of Disney's Tower of Terror and this view only last for a few seconds and then it's down you go for more thrilling terror of FUN!!! I said I wouldn't do this ride ever again it's that crazy and scary but what the heck, gotta be adventurous with the kids.

For a little more easy breezy light hearted fun ride we headed over to the Monsters Inc.
which we hadn't rode in many years. That last time we had been on this ride it was so long ago that the boy's didn't even remember ever riding it.

Thanks for all the fun Disney's California Adventure and for more great memories! :)

Here's a really fun tour of Disney's California Adventures new Cars Land:

Saturday's Visit to CHA

Today is the last day of CHA 2013 and I wanted to share with you some of my pics from Saturday when I walked the floor of CHA.

I also wanted to share with those of you who are not able to get into CHA, that your truly not missing out. The real part that is so extra fun about CHA is seeing friends, meeting up with friends, and hanging out with your friends at CHA. That's really what makes it great! Yes, you get to see new product but,  I like to be able to buy it and take it home with me that day. Nope, not a CHA!
So enjoy all the pics you find online and remember your truly not missing out.
Make a day and go out on an adventure with your friends to some scrap stores, enjoy a great lunch, and have a fun crop night. It's truly one of my favorite things to do with friends, even way more fun then CHA.

Here's Amy Tan's holding her brand new just released Signature Series magazine from Northridge Publishing. Her scrapbooking style and products is a favorite of mine. She definitely brings a uniquely different and fun style approach to scrapbooking. Amy Tan, was outgoing, bubbly, kind and funny which was great to see. 

One of my favorite new products from Amy tangerine is this super cute calendar stamp.

 

Here is one of the new product lines I was looking forward to seeing from Crate Paper, featuring Maggie Holmes new product line.

The booth was very cute just as I expected and all the products and displays where very cute as well.

My very favorite new product of the entire CHA show was definitely these cute little mini bow ties from Maggie Holmes line. It's refreshing when you see something new that every other company doesn't have something similar to.

My friend Genine and I having a little fun with the props and displays at the booth since Maggie exited the booth right after several of us went in to look around we decided to have a little fun. :)

New products from Becky Higgins, Project Life http://www.beckyhiggins.com... I'm really loving the new 12x12  Pink Chevron album.

Another must have item is the cute 6x12 plastic envelopes from Project life. I tried ordering these several days ago on Amazon but unfortunately they where all sold out. :(

This cute vintage polaroid cameras where part of a super cute display from Webster Pages, featuring a new designer Allison Kreft. She made these cuties with wash tape and paper from her new line.

Love Love Love how Allison juiced up the typewriter with her new paper line and made it extra cute!

The cutest thing was these new bags with all the super cute wood grain patterns on them, they are a must have item for scrapbooking fun!

Over all I can definitely say that this by far was my favorite line at CHA this year. I found lot's and lot's of products and super cute goodies, but as a line in whole this is my number #1 first pic for an entire line. Can't wait to add lot's of her new papers and cuteness to my tammy i page kits.

To see more of her products visit Allison Kreft's blog.

Happy Scrapbooking! :)
