I’m including as part of my project life journey a series of
layouts, under then heading Embrace the Everyday. Its literally going to be
photos of our everyday goings on where journaling isn’t always needed. Not only will it be fun to look back on, but
hey, I get to play with pretty paper, so that can’t be bad.
The layout I want to share with you, is actually a page from my filofax! … I
know, not the most exciting thing in the world. But I love my filofaxes, I'm addicted; I have
one in my handbag, and this one, which is the one I keep at home; it’s the one that I write
my daily to do lists, birthdays, menu plans, shopping
lists etc. The layout was based on this sketch
As you can see I kept pretty much true to the sketch. The title was cut on my trusty silhouette, as was the bunting - I don't think a day goes by without me cutting something on the machine. I know it's certainly helping to make me feel more creative.
I have a head full of creative ideas swimming around me at the moment, and that’s in no small part thanks to Julie Kirks, blogging series. I still have posts to catch up on, but it’s amazing, do check it out, and although she's reached her target for her chosen charity (which I think is the one of the best charitys going) :) ... she can always use more money for them. So do pop by and look, you won't regret it.
Gorgeous layout, I love the colours that you've used. I've been reading Julie's blog series, it's really good x
ReplyDeleteLove this Sandra x
ReplyDeleteThink we need a Silhouette appreciation team ;) where we can all rave about how fab they are :D
A great idea for a page! I've pinned it for future use if that's ok?! I have lists, notebooks, diarys, menu plans to run my everyday life ... but not a filofax!!
ReplyDeleteFantastic Sandra !! I really like the idea of the written backing paper. Think I will try that myself when I have time !!

A gorgeous layout, so pretty, never think to use my machine to cut a title - doh!!
ReplyDeleteGreat job with the sketch - a lovely layout. I am a total list maker and keep everything with my calendar!
ReplyDeletewow totally gorgeous Sandra - the deep red really stands out and the title is just amazing x
ReplyDeleteTotally LOVE this Sandra...it's gorgeous...doily bunting so cute..xx
ReplyDeleteI love this Sandra, and isnt it good to document the everyday things.
ReplyDeleteJulies series hae been excellent and hasnt it rejuvenated a lot of blogs
Love this layout! Great title work!
ReplyDeleteWhat a super LO Sandra and that background was perfect for the subject.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comment on my post about e-readers...nothing will ever convince me that they should 'replace' books - it is lovely to flick though a book and just the process of turning a page has something about it...but they are convenient for travelling (there's no way I would carry 2 large paperbacks to and from work LOL).
Look forward to seeing the photos of hand over of the album.

Wonderful layout, love your layering and colors! I use my Silhouette all the time, too.
ReplyDeleteI absolutely LOVE this page Sandra. The colours, your background paper, everything about it :) Well done! You were asking about all the 52 card challenges. Here is the link so you can see them all; http://koolkittymusings.typepad.com/kool_kitty_musings/52-card-challenge/
ReplyDeleteIron Man 3 was great btw - would thoroughly recommend it!
I thought you must have had a Silhouette! I've seen a lot of wonderful titles around lately, and your layout is the one that pushed me over the edge - I have now sold my Cricut, nearly half of my cartridges and I will get a Silhouette when we are settled in Aus with some change to spare! This is a brilliant page - just love, love love it!
ReplyDeleteThis is really beautiful Sandra! I love my Silhouette too. Thank you for lovely comments on my blog this week :-)
