project life catch-up: weeks of june 1, 8, 16, and 23

Yes, that’s right, June! Do you know what that means? It means that I managed to stay relatively caught up for the month thanks to the June Studio Calico Project Life kit. Wait, you wanted to see March, April, and May? Ha! I didn’t say that I was totally caught up. Even though I am not fully thrilled with my layouts for June, they are done. Yippee!

catch-up: instagram inspiration and project life updates

I envisioned walls of letterpress notecards. Beautiful paper with whimsical sayings. I would throw in some craft items – solid cardstock, beautiful wrapping paper, rubber stamps, tags, every color of ribbon. Things changed dramatically as I painted the store and installed the shelves. People peaked in every day to ask if I was opening a scrapbooking store. I knew absolutely nothing about scrapbooking. But if the people were going to shop, I was going to make it available.

time to craft

Have I mentioned that I like to do a little craft from time to time? I know I’ve mentioned that I am a total sucker for paper. And there are no paper stores to speak of where I live. So last week, when I needed (for ridiculous reasons) to spend an entire day by myself in Salt Lake City (what!? a whole day to yourself!?), I hit some paper stores....
