Watching: After a week (or two?) break, the latest episode of The Last Ship aired on Sunday. I seriously recommend that you watch it. It's a really good show.

Making: I've been making a bunch of calls and making lots of soup.

Feeling: I've been feeling super anxious. We've got something big coming up soon and I am so nervous.

30 Days of Self Portraits Mini Album

Happy Monday! Today, I want to share my #30DaysOfSelfPortraits mini album that I finally completed. You might remember that in June, I decided to make my own little challenge and take a selfie/self portrait everyday for 30 days. I don't take a lot of selfies so this really was a challenge for me. I am happy to say that I did complete the challenge. I do want to note that this is a very photo heavy post.

To make my album, I used the following products:


I noticed that there was a thick board in the Awesome Ladies Scrapbook Collection packaging and thought that it would be perfect for my cover. I used my We R Memory Keepers Power Punch to punch holes in the covers and my papers. I kept the cover simple and used the yellow alpha stickers to decorate the front cover.









The photo on the right is my favorite selfie. I really love how it turned out.


I may add a few more embellishments on the left page, but I think I may use a few stamps on the page.





I love the pop of yellow that is in the Awesome Ladies Scrapbook Collection. How cute are those black and yellow circles?





I'm trying to decide whether or not I want to add anything to the last page, but I kind of like how there's nothing on it. I really like the pattern on the paper.

Thanks for visiting and checking out my mini album!

Until next time...

30 Days of Lists Registration!!

Hello! Happy Thursday! It's that time of year again! 30 Days of Lists begins on September 1st, but registration is now open! I absolutely love this challenge and am so very happy to announce that I am a sponsor for this round!

What is 30 Days of Lists?

30 Days of Lists is an awesome challenge where you receive a prompt everyday for 30 Days. There is no right or wrong way to complete the challenge. You can also complete it at your own pace.

How I plan to complete the challenge?

I'm not sure yet. In the past I have made my own mini albums and notebooks, but I have also used store bought notebooks. I think I may make my own album this time. I might change it up a bit and use watercolors or acrylics, but I have so many Project Life cards and patterned paper that I need to use up. There's just so many different ways that I can complete this challenge which is another reason why I love this challenge. Below is previous mini album that I made using my Cinch binding tool and some Project Life cards.


As you may know, I opened my Etsy shop a few weeks ago. I have included a couple of mini notebook kits that are perfect for 30 Days of Lists! Below is one of the notebook kits that I have listed in my shop. You can find more information on this kit here and you can check out the rest of my products here.



Are you excited for 30 Days of Lists? How do you plan to complete the lists?

Thanks for visiting!

Until next time!!!
