Currently List #45

Hello there! I didn't post a Currently List on Tuesday because the 30 Days of Lists blog hop took place on that day. You can see my post about the 30 Days of Lists blog hop here.



Watching: I have a lot of shows to catch up on. One of them is Tierra de Reyes.

Reading: Due to all of the bad weather, doctor appointments, and school closings, I haven't kept up with all of my emails. It's insane how many emails I get.

Listening: I didn't really like this song at first, but now I absolutely love it. Well...it's not that I didn't like it, it was more like I just always changed the song when it came on the radio. One day I just decided to listen to the entire song (and not five seconds of it) and got hooked.

Making: I've had this layout on my desk for a few days now and I plan to finish it by Thursday.

Feeling: I seriously can't wait for February to be over. It's just been an overwhelming month.

Planning: I've had to reschedule a lot of stuff due to being sick, but I am glad to be rescheduling appointments. Looks like March is going to be the month of appointments and catching up on stuff.

Loving: I love that there is no school for the boys. The weather has been kind of crazy and due to all the winter weather (ice, sleet, snow, etc.) school has been closed for several days this week and last week.

Until next time...

Love Scrapbook Layout

Valentine's Day may be over, but I just had to share this layout that I made of my sons and husband. We decided to take the boys to see The Spongebob Movie: Sponge Out of Water. This was kind of a big moment since it was the boys' first time going to the movie theatre. They did so well and we enjoyed the movie. We will definitely being going back soon.



I decided not to add journaling on this layout. The picture is a little blurry because my youngest son would not stay still, but I still love the picture. I used a picture of my boys after we got home from the movie theatre.

Supplies used:
  • Mambi 8x8 scrapbook kit
  • Recollections heart stickers
  • Recollections enamel dots
  • Recollections doilies
  • Project Life journaling pen



If you look closely the doily has the word 'love' in the middle. 


I added some enamel dots in the corners of the patterned paper and that "Love" sticker is just awesome! I may or may not have bought the 8x8 mini kit specifically for that sticker.

Currently List #44

Hello there! It's Tuesday and it's time for another Currently List!


Watching: I love scary movies and have always loved to watch ghost related TV shows. It's just something about the supernatural that is so interesting.

Reading: It's amazing how much emails and letters can pile on when you're sick and you haven't been bothering to read anything.

Listening: New Kids on the Block...need I say more?

Making: I have to get my photos printed for my Project Life album and my scrapbook layouts.

Feeling: Ugh. I am still sick, but luckily the boys are feeling a lot better. Hopefully, I will feel better in the next few days as well.

Planning: I have several scrapbook layouts and PL layouts to make. Since I haven't been feeling well, I haven't been able to make my layouts and am falling a little behind on my PL album.

Loving: Naps are the just the best...it's even better when you're not feeling well and just want to sleep.

Until next time...

30 Days of Lists--March 2015--Book Cover and Pages

Hola! Hola! I am getting so excited for this round of 30 Days of Lists and I am surprised that I have finally made my mini album and prepped the pages. Today, I want to share my mini album book cover and just a few pages (no spoilers).


Book Cover

I love, love, love my cover for my mini album. I used some Mambi ALPHAchips, Sn@p Stickers Typeset, and Recollections enamel dot stickers. My mini album is made out of Project Life cards (Honey core kit). I used my Cinch to bind the pages. Below are some of the pages that are in my mini album.

Currently List #43

Hello there! It's Tuesday and it's time for another Currently List! *Apologies in advance because of the picture...I was having some issues with my camera.*


Watching: Since I am sick and have to rest, I plan to watch SVU until I get tired and take a nap. I hate that when I am sick, I can't fall asleep. Thank goodness that my husband is off work and can help with the boys while I get some much needed rest.

Reading: Oh, the never ending e-mails.

Listening: Taking it back with this song.

Making: Ah chicken noodle soup...the best soup ever!

Feeling: I've been feeling sick for about two days now and today, I am just feeling horrible. I ended up having to leave early from work because I am just too sick. Hopefully some more soup, medicine, and rest will make me feel better.

Planning: I have to make the Valentine Day goodies before Friday for my son's class. I definitely plan on working on this tomorrow.

Loving: I immediately made some soup and went straight to bed. There is nothing better than that when I am not feeling well.

Until next time...

Hey You, I Love You Mini Tag Album

Hello there! Today, I wanted to share my mini tag album that I made for my husband. I plan to give this to him on Valentine's Day. I was inspired to make a post that I found on the Freckled Fawn blog. Kristina made an awesome mini tag album that you can find here.



I had a lot of fun making this little mini album. I used a lot of Mambi products. Their products are awesome! I used Mambi Chips, items from the 8x8 mambiKIT, twine, a stapler, and of course tags (I used 8 of them). I was going to add some photos in there, but decided to add journaling instead. 


I love the Mambi Chips so much! They add a lot of pop to the album. I love that I could make phrases using some of the single word chips. Below, you can see a few more pages in the mini album.



I did have a hard time stapling some of the tags. I ended up having to staple half of the tags and then staple the other half. Then I used the twine to tie everything up.

What are you making for Valentine's Day? Feel free to share.

Thanks for visiting!

Until next time...

January 2015-Month in Review Card

Wow! It's a new month and January is already gone! I have a feeling this year is going to just fly by as well. January was a pretty great month and so much stuff happened as well. In order to remember everything that happened, I decided to fill out a calendar card for my Project Life album. You may remember that I filled out a calendar card for December 2014. You can check that out here.


Highlights in January:

  • My 24th birthday on the 5th. I had a mini movie marathon. I watched The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings movies. You can read more about that here.
  • My son's first day of Pre-K was the next day. I was so nervous, but he was so excited!
  • The first Awesome Ladies Project chat was on the 30th. You can read more about Kristin's Awesome Ladies Project here.

How was your January? Do you fill out any calendar cards?

Until next time...
