Project Life Mini Album




I am making a Mini Album for my family. I am making one album for each kid and one for each Grandma. I love the way they will be able to look back at their own personal album.

Stampin Up Project Life Cards- Make your own cards #2

Project Life Card

Every Friday  our Stamping Group has a contest on Facebook. We each submit a card and the following week a winner is announced. I won last week with my DIY Project Life cards. I was so excited. I will share what the prize is as soon as I received it.
This week I decided to think outside of the box. Did you know that the Project Life kit can be used for anything? You can use it for traditional scrapbooking, you can use it on cards, you can punch pieces of these cards for your projects and you can also use them as little notes to put in your child's lunch, or to brighten someone's day. Really the possibilities are endless. I have dropped a few journal cards in my regular handmade cards that I have sent. You can also keep a few of these in your purse and when you take a picture you can quickly journal what the memory is or use a few to give your child to write or color on while in a restaurant . You can also write little positive quotes on them. Seriously endless possibilities.
My sample is so easy. I used the Thinlit letters and the arrow punch. I colored the pearls with the night of navy blendabilties.  The color scheme is soft sky, pacific point and mossy meadow.

SAM- Stand Alone Marine

This cause is personal for me. It truly broke my heart. Here is the information if you would like to help. It also explains what a SAM is. I made 100 cards to put into their bags that they will receive after graduation. I wrote a special message to each one. I have adopted my own personal SAM and I have been writing letters to him throughout Boot Camp. I will plan on meeting him for the Parent Family Day and I will also cheer him on at their Graduation. No Marine should be alone after working so hard. My SAM and I will continue our mother and son relationship throughout the rest of our lives. I feel so blessed to be able to do this.

These are Marines that are graduating from Boot Camp with no family or friends present.

Simply mail them to
Gilligan's of Beaufort
2601 Boundary Street
Beaufort, SC 29906
