Mini Album Pages

I'm back with another layout from a mini-album that I have been working on this month, based on the class #LPPLoveWhereYouLive by Little Paper Projects.

This is the Woodland Take 10 Kit which includes the Pink Paislee Cedar Lane product. So great with all the fall photos.

I'm talking about how much we love our neighborhood and our school.

Those acetate leaves!! 

 

Those embellies on the autumn card are from a past Take 10 Glam bag. I love that I can mix stuff left over from past kits with current ones. 

I can never have enough arrows. Who's with me?

I hope you are enjoying your Woodland Take 10 Kits as much as I am! Don't have one? Both the Pocket Kit and Glam Bag are still in the shop!

Neighborhood Love!!

I'm still chugging away on a mini-album I've been working on themed on "Love Where You Live". I've been using the Woodlands Take 10 Kit and it's a match made in heaven with all the fall colors in my photos I've been snapping.

 

I'm sharing one two-page layout from this theme. (More to come, since I've used most of my kit on this section of my mini-album!)

Those fun washi strips by Pink Paislee were great for layering. The pumpkin and label were part of the cut-apart sheet in the kit! 

I like the idea of pieces sticking out past the 6x8 pages of my mini-album.

I love that the alphas from last month's kit also go perfectly with this month's Woodland kit! Boo!

Those teeny weeny leaf stamps! I used them to make a little "pile of leaves" as an embellishment.

I Love This Neighborhood Community of Mine

This is my second week of photos and thoughts for a fun class I decided to join this month. #LPPLoveWhereYouLive by Little Paper Products (if you sign up, tell them Holly Genc sent you for a chance to win a free class! They have a great affiliate program.)

I live on a smaller commercial street (no buses, lots of cute shops and restaurants) in Chicago. We moved to this neighborhood almost two years ago. My oldest was starting kindergarten and public school in the city is a tricky game. We knew we wanted to move to a good neighborhood school for a few reasons.

A good neighborhood school comes with a strong, connected community. Beforehand, we were making this assumption. Now, I can say it is better than I ever imagined. The businesses support the school. The school families support our local businesses. Families support each other. We see our friends out and about in the neighborhood every day. 

Being blocks from Wrigley Field, you better be a Cubs fan here. 

Almost everything I need is right here, within walking distance. Even the kids' pediatric dentist!

My favorite dinner spot with its award winning grassfed filet.

I think my favorite thing is walking to friends' homes or having friends over to get together.

Pumpkin Painting and Games at a neighbor's house last week! So fun.

Weekend Food Trucks!!

Daily Life Messes - Documented

 
I’ve been following along with a class all about documenting where you live. It’s been a lot of fun so far. (#LPPLoveWhereYouLive by Little Paper Projects. Tell them Holly Genc sent you for a chance to win a free class.) The first week was about those messes at home that tell stories of your daily life. I had a post last week on my blog showing some of my photos I captured and the stories about them.

 

  

I put it together this week in my mini-pocket page album. I haven’t decided if I’m using a binder or what (stay tuned…), but I’m using 6×8 pocket pages and inserts. 
 
I am using the Woodland Take 10 Kits which include the beautiful Pink Paislee Cedar Lane collection. (and I have the whole collection that I won in a American Craft Giveaway. I'm so lucky. Incredible. Eeeeek.)

 
I’m also using some cards from Amy Tangerine’s Project Life mini kit called Plus One. It features some houses on some of the cards. Perfect!

 This post is very photo heavy to show you lots of detail.
