Project Life Week 19 & 20

This is my Project Life weeks 19 & 20. I used my Becky Higgins Core Kit that I purchased from Hobby Lobby to complete these two pages.  I did't think that I was going to like using her kits as much as I do.  But after trying them I went back and burchased two moe core kits.  Can't wait for Hobby Lobby to get in some different kits, they are well worth it.

Homemade Smash Book

I wanted to share with you a Homemade Smash Book that I made.  I really love how this album turned out and can't wait to make more.  I liked to make the spiral books but never made one with the hard cover before.  It is not hard at all to make and I thank "babytweetums".on youtube for sharing her Homemade Smash Book.

Hi this is my weeks 17 & 18 of my 2013 Project Life album.  I really love this way of scrapbooking, getting a lot done.  I'm going to try the Smash book style of scrapbooking also.  Bought one yesterday at Hobby Lobby with my 40% off coupon.  Can't wait to give it a go.
