52 craft projects // project life 2013


I love scrapbooking but finding the time to do it is a real challenge for me. Mainly because all my scrapbooking supplies are hidden in storage boxes so I need ~15 mins to get it all out (and usually about half an hour to clean up my mess). Add the time of having my pictures printed at the next pharmacy(or even order them online and wait for them 2-3 business days) and you need at least a whole afternoon to get a couple spreads done.

Some spreads in my 2013 album have lots of details and movie tickets etc.

Other spreads were put together months later and only some random facts were pulled from my daily planner or my cell phone.

My album consists of everything that happened the past year - happy and sad moments, family trips, parties with friends, lots of knitting and sewing, some random crafts, lots of plant pictures and blank weeks that were filled with studying.

I really love having one picture fill the entire spread.

The last weeks of the year were composed in monthly spreads rather than weekly, because I was running out of time.
Using a core kit really helped speed up the process. For 2014 I plan on making monthly spreads and spreads for special occasions, and probably some spreads that concentrate on my craft adventures.

Do you use project life? Or another form of scrapbooking? I'd love to see how you documented 2013 :)

52 craft projects // christmas cards 2013



I'm terrible when it comes to sending Christmas cards. It's the same every year. Yesterday evening I made a couple of simple cards to have them on hand for next year. No more excuses not to send Christmas cards next year!
I like minimalistic cards. For the first batch I cut out trees from a pattern paper, stuck them to a simple white card and stamped 'Merry Christmas' in German on the card. Super quick but I love the way they turned out.

For the second batch I experimented with wash tape. I got a bunch of Christmas themed washi tape on sale a couple of weeks ago and have used them for gift wrapping, home decor projects and packing orders.
The cut out trees are definitely more my style but I like the wash tape cards as well. Better to have simple homemade cards than no cards at all, right?
