Fresh Air and Snuggle Up: A few 6x12 Pocket Page Inserts

I used up the rest of my cards from the February Take 10 Kit by The Studio 29 Designs, LLC this month to create two 6x12 pocket page inserts. Both are very simple layouts, and I'm loving the crisp, clean look.

This was one of those first "warm" spring days last year. Everyone was happy to be outside playing.  You can still get the cards and stamp featured in this layout in the shop.

A simple way to switch things up with the same old pocket page is to put 2-3x4's in a 4x6 slot. That's all I did in this bottom pocket. I adhered that stamped "everyday life" with pop dots to add a little more interest.

Those white Studio Calico alphas are from my stash, as well as the coordinating Simple Stories gray label.

And here is my second 6x12 insert. I just adore this one!

I chose that colorful stripe card for a little journaling. (Hint: when you are unsure how the pen you are using will work on a slick card, try it out on the back first). I used a black Sharpie Pen here. Then, I centered a few of the word stickers and one washi strip from the Pink Paislee C'Est La Vie collection that was in the February glam bag.

That "snuggle up" thicker was from my stash. How perfect for my little snuggler. It's from Pink Paislee's Cedar Lane collection.

And for my bottom pocket, I cut that 6" strip from one of the kit cards to put on top of my photo. I paired it with some more of the washi and a word sticker.

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.

Love Where You Live - Daily Messes

Last week was the first week of a fun class I decided to join. It's called Love Where You Live by Little Paper Products. (Sign up, it's not too late. Tell them Holly Genc sent you in the comments to enter for a chance to win a free class. This is an affiliate link.) The founders are two of my favorite Project Lifers to follow. The first week was all about capturing those messes in your home creating by living! With 3 littles running around, I have plenty of those!
 

My preschooler with his best buddy over for the afternoon (his mom and I routinely swap play dates where one of us picks them both up from morning preschool and keeps them for the afternoon). These two are into dragons and dinosaurs! They are usually all over the place. TOYS EVERYWHERE! 

I can't believe that I'm showing you this. My junk drawer! And it's a huge one! I bought up a bunch of those Antonius drawer dividers from IKEA because they are perfect for storing pocket page cards. I might have over bought. So, some reside in my kitchen drawers, too. It doesn't seem to currently be helping my junk drawer, though. So, this drawer is on my never ending To-Do-List!

Our big pile of shoes that collect by the front door. There are five of us living here. And we are urban, which means we walk around our city a lot. We are in Chicago, which means the weather changes daily. All this equates to lots of different types of shoes. I might need a new system...To-Do-List!

My new thing is to try to keep a lot of the toys downstairs, but these blocks stay in our main living room space. And they like to build right on the picture window sill. And boy that window gets lots of fingerprints!

My ugly, comfy old lazy boy. I wish I had a photo of a beautiful, colorful, calming reading nook, but I don't (yet). This old lazy boy was bought through craigslist when I needed a low-to-the-ground rocker/recliner that was small enough to fit in my bedroom after giving birth to my third c-section baby. I swore I'd get rid of this eye-sore after I was done "needjng" it. Well, my youngest is 2.5 and it's still here. I've tried selling it/practically giving it away and it didn't work. I tend to eat a light lunch at this chair, while reading during nap time. I think I'd miss it. It needs a facelift....To-Do-List!

And this one really talks about my life with a 2-year-old right now. It's always my fault, really. In this case, I left the box of cereal outside of the LOCKED cabinet it usual is stored in. I was trying to swap out summer and fall clothes in the kids' room, when I heard some rustling that I knew couldn't be good. I come around the corner, and he had dumped the entire box of mini-wheats on the table!!! Usual, I'm immediately having him help me clean it up, but today I stopped and took some pictures.

Can't wait to put this together on some pocketpages! I'll be back to share.

Finding Their Way Pocket Page

Today’s post is a layout of a day spent at our local arboretum. It is such a fun fall place to visit. The Children’s Garden is amazing. 

Using the Homestead Take 10 Kit by The Studio 29 Designs.

I attached a 4×6 flip pocket to get a couple extra photos in! 

Thanks!
