Not going to lie - I struggled with this challenge.  I thought I could do a cute spread with farm animals from Bug down on my parents farm, or with their cats, or or or.  I think I was overwhelmed with all of the choices that are available!  It took me finding this:

to finally decide what I was going to do.  Halloween = creepy crawly spiders!  PERFECT!

I made some 3x4 journaling cards - SUPER simple with washi tape, paper, and spider (found here):

The "Halloween" overlay can also be found here.

Here's the finished spread.  I love how simple yet festive it turned out.

branching out - august 26th - september 1.

I wasn't sure about the Kraft core kit...I have issues (haha...one of many) with off white.  I either like REAL kraft, or REAL white.  I'm actually loving the off white of this kit!  

Branching out, people! :)

july 22 - 28.

I used all "Honey" core kit for this spread. :)  I absolutely LOVE the bright colors in it.

   

 

ok, I lied.... last post wasn't the biggest one. :)

Used the new Project Life Themed "Girl" kit on this spread.  

maybe the biggest week yet??

 Pretty busy week!  2 full 12x12's, and 4 inserts. :)

Using mostly the new "Sunshine" core kit, Blackboard from WeR, and 5th and Frolic.

1st insert:

2nd insert: 

Front of a little 4x4 insert: 

I LOVE the yellow striped card.  I trimmed it down from a 4x6 and used a mask from UmWowStudio for the hearts.

Back of the 4x4 size: 

(don't tell my husband about the 6 miles to empty....)

Last page of the week. :)

For my project this month, I decided to create a PL LO for my daughter's spring dance recital.  Her cute little class danced to "You Are My Sunshine", so I used that phrase and welded the letters together. :)

This was my first time "welding" but it definitely won't be my last!!  I can use this for EVERYTHING!!!

Don't forget to link your welding project up to the link above for your chance to win some fabulous prizes!!
