Jillibean Soup and March Goals

I made a page that I like!  lol.  You may have noticed that I make a lot of pages where I cut an inch off of 2 sides of patterned paper and then back it with cardstock to have a bit of a frame for the background.  As you can imagine, this leaves me with a ton of 1 inch strips of paper.  Today I decided to use some of them.  🙂

park pageAs you can see, I just took a bunch of the strips from my Jillibean Soup drawer (I love their B sides!) and layered them to mat the photos.  Then I added a few strips of washi tape and a couple of stickers.

park page-2If I do a page like this again, I think I’d add even more embellishments to the strips of paper, but all in all I’m happy with how this turned out.

In other news, I just placed a huge order with scrapbook.com and I cannot wait for it to get here!  After making over 80 pages in the last 2 months without buying anything aside from cardstock, it’s time for some new product!  I will say, I’ve enjoyed falling in love with some of my old papers again, but there’s nothing like a big box of goodies to inspire me.  🙂

Speaking of inspiration, how did I do on February’s goals?  Well, not as good as I did on January’s, but I did get quite a bit accomplished.

  1. Baby Girl’s Blanket- Well, I got a teeny bit done, but I really need to put in some time on this one.
  2. Finish Felt Letters- I have got to work on these.  For serious.
  3. 2014 Project Life- I got 2 out of the 5 layouts done.  That’s something, right?  lol.
  4. 2015 Project Life- I got 2 of the 4 done.  I want to catch up on this next month.
  5. Add trim to burp rags.  Done!  I’ll be blogging this soon.  They’re super cute.
  6. Fraycheck wipes.  Ugh.  I need to buy the fraycheck so I can finish these already.
  7. Scrap September 2013.  Done!  I got 9 layouts done and it feels great.
  8. Scrap October 2013.  Also done!  11 layouts for this month.  🙂
  9. Scrap November 2013.  So close.  Only 2 more to go.
  10. Scrap December 2013.  I think I was a bit ambitious with the scrappy goals.  lol.  2 left to go in this month as well.  You guys!  That means I only have 4 more layouts left in 2013!  Sweet!
  11. Blog!  I was able to get a blog post up 3 times a week this month which was my goal!

I set some ridiculous lofty goals for February, so even though I didn’t meet all of them I’m feeling pretty great about the progress that I did make.

Now March…  Since the babies are going to be here early to mid April, the pressure is on!  Also, RaptorDad is taking Raptor on a wee road trip for Spring Break so I’m going to have a few days of dedicated crafty time.  Yay!  So goals for March.

  1. Shopping List for Frozen Meals
  2. Assemble/ Freeze Casseroles (0/3). I want to make several batches of lasagna, mac n cheese, and something else and freeze them so we don’t starve when the twins arrive.
  3. Scrap November 2013.  Only 2 to go!
  4. Scrap December 2013.  I’m actually hoping to knock out most of these before my big box of scrappy goodness arrives.  I know I’m only going to want to play with new things then and I didn’t order any Christmas stuff.  lol.
  5. Scrap February 2014.  Believe it or not, January 2014 is already done.  As is March.  🙂  I may end up skipping February for now and working on April since I didn’t order any Valentine’s Day stuff, but I did order some summery stuff.
  6. Finish Baby Girl’s Blanket.  Down to the wire here folks.  Yikes.
  7. Finish Felt Letters.  It’s pathetic that these still aren’t done.
  8. Make Carseat Covers.  I’m excited about these!  I found a tutorial on line and I can’t wait to go pick out fabric for them.  🙂
  9. 2014 Project Life (0/6)
  10. 2015 Project Life (0/6)
  11. Paint Nursery.  Soon!
  12. Assemble all of the Baby Stuff!
  13. Summer Activities for Raptor.  I want to come up with some throw down activities/ crafts for her for this summer.
  14. Blog! (0/27). This seems ridiculous, but it will give me a buffer through April.  I’d really like to be able to have some content post while we’re busy with babies.  🙂  I’m think I’m going to photograph some of my older layouts and put them up on the blog.  I spotted a few blog worthy ones while I was assembling the 2013 (part 2) album.
