Workflow Wednesday: December 2014 Album, Day One and a Tutorial
Every day I'm spending a little bit of time going through the photos from the day before and picking one or two photos to use in my December Album. The rest of the photos will go in my regular Project Life album.
The templates I'm using have a plain white background, so I needed an easy way to figure out where to trim without having to do any math. So, I've put together a quick tutorial in addition to sharing my pages.

October/November 2014: Week 44 in our weekly pocket scrapbook album
This was the week of Ali Edwards' Week In The Life, so I had a million photos. I still do both the Week In The Life album seperately and one page in my scrapbook album. The scrapbook album is just a summary of the week. The Week In The Life album is much more detailed.
I've actually been working on my Week In The Life album and hope to have it done this weekend. I've got all the photos sorted and inserted in the album. I've also filled it with journal cards and papers already. Next will be the fun part of documenting and embellishing. I like getting it done as soon as possible so everything is fresh in my mind.
Anyways, it's BYOC (Build Your Own Collab) weekend at The Lilypad and I had so much fun putting this together. It's been a busy week here so I went with simple and done, but still "me".

October 2014 - Weeks 42 and 43 in my pocket scrapbook album
Happy Halloween and Happy {international}Digital Scrapbook Day Weekend!!!
I'm excited to share something new at The Lilypad this weekend! They now have a monthly pocket scrapbooking subscription! The mixed media monthly was such a hit that it only seemed perfect to add in the other part of what makes The Lilypad so awesome and diverse, it's pocket scrapbookers!
October 2014 - Week 41 in my weekly pocket scrapbook album
I'm really excited to share this cool page with you! I know that I usually always use Design A for my pages and sometimes I'll use Design H for an insert. I just find it so much easier for planning purposes to stick with the same design.
At the Daydream Event last month, I got this really cool panoramic page protector and I've fallen madly in LOVE with it and think I need to run to Michaels and pick up a box. I'm sure the fact that it's pretty similar to Design A, that made it easy to put together. I just needed eight 4"x6" cards. I did use some 3"x4" cards to layer on top.
This is what it looks like all folded up and in my album...

That's my tip for you this week, use up your 3"x4" cards by layering them over the 4"x6" journal cards.
October 2014 - Week 39 in my pocket scrapbook album
I know I said that I was switching the mixed media tutorials to Monday, and I still am... That will start up next week. I wanted to share my page for week 39 today since I had skipped it last week.
I spent Saturday morning working on photographing some new mixed media tutorials and am excited to share them with you. We're going to have some messy, painty, FUN!!!
For this page, I used the Project Life® kit that I received at the Daydreamers Event last month. I thought it was fitting to use the page kit with the week of the event.

October 2014 - Week 40 in my pocket scrapbook album and some changes to the blog...
Phew!!! That's a really long title, LOL! I've been doing a lot of thinking about the blog and my creative team responsibilities and our homeschool routine and decided to make some changes to the routine on the blog.
Since the beginning, I've been posting my weekly pocket pages on Mondays, workflow tutorials on Wednesdays and mixed media tutorials on Fridays and then recently added in the art journal Bible tutorials on Thursdays.
The problem with sharing my pages on Mondays is that the sale is that I'm usually using new releases for my creative team requirements at The Lilypad, but the sale is over. So, I will now be moving them to Fridays. I'm hoping that if you're inspired by my pages and want that product, you'll be able to get them while they are on sale instead of afterwards.
What does that mean for the mixed media tutorials? Well, I'm just going to switch them to Mondays. These tutorials were a much bigger hit than I anticipated and I find that with our homeschool schedule it's difficult for me to get photos and projects done during the week.
Have I told you yet that homeschooling this year is kicking my butt? I still love it, it's just taking a lot more time and energy and I need to focus on them during the week and writing/photography during the weekends. Thankfully, I have a super supportive husband who knows how much this blog means to me, and I couldn't do this without him.
So, we've skipped week 39, which is actually done... but I wanted to share Week 40 with you while the digital supplies are on sale at The Lilypad. I'm sooooo in LOVE with the Mixed Media Monthly kits and add-ons and couldn't wait to use them.
Speaking of The Lilypad, this was the week that I went with some friends to Kansas to hang out and scrapbook... we just all happen to know each other from The Lilypad, so I couldn't resist using the awesome kits for this page. Hubby and the kiddos went to Michigan and had a blast!

September 2014 - Week 38 in my pocket scrapbook album
I'm continuing to play catch-up with my pages and using cards I already have made or in my stash. Again, this was another week I didn't get many photos because we've been so busy that I forget to pull out my camera. It's a good thing keeping busy, but I honestly am sad that I haven't been getting as many photos, especially of the kids doing their school projects.
September 2014 - Week 37 in my weekly pocket scrapbook album
So, this is what happens when you travel a lot and start a new homeschool year, you get "behind". Here's the cool thing... I have lots of pre-made cards from tutorials and from other projects or scrapbooking retreats and it has made catching up so easy and fast. I just grab a bunch of cards from my color coordinated organization boxes, add the photos and do my journaling and doodling. Easy Peasy and super fast way to catch up.
Also, I was busy enjoying my Birthday weekend with my family and didn't have a chance to take photos and post, so I'm running late with today's post, but excited to share it with you! The kit I used for this page was quickly sold out at Studio Calico, but a sweet friend sold it to me since he wasn't going to use it. I'm totally in LOVE with the cards and goodies in the kit and now I know exactly why it sold out so fast!

Disney World's Epcot Honeymoon - Pocket Style Scrapbook Page
I was so thrilled and honored to have been asked by The Pocket Source to create and write a review of the newest collection from Elle's Studio. When I received the box, I was expecting just some cards and tags and labels from their regular monthly kits. I was totally not expecting to get a whole collection from them.
August 2014 - Week 35 in my pocket scrapbook album
Today we are starting the new homeschool year and I'm a little overwhelmed, but thankful to be getting back into a routine again. I'm going to keep this short and quick and share my page.
August 2014 - Week 34 in my weekly pocket scrapbook album
I got to scrap with my kit and cards collaboration! I'm so in LOVE! This kit brought me so much joy to create and so much joy to scrapbook with. I might be a little bit biased, but this is seriously my FAVE! I can't wait to show you!
