New Project Life Page

Hey Crafty Peeps,
I'm back to share another Project life page with you guys! I'm really trying to get better at posting on my blog but sometimes I just get caught up with my Vlogging/Craft videos. I hope you all had a great fourth of July with your family and friends! I actually didn't do much this fourth of July other then just some grilling with my bf but I'm just grateful we get anytime together after being long distance for more then a year. I'm so happy, I finally finished this page because since I had to stop a little more then half way through because of my move, it seemed like it was taking forever to get finished. For those of you who mainly just stick to my Blog you should go checkout the giveaway video I posted a few weeks ago on my YouTube channel because you get more then one entry if you also follow my Blog. I'm constantly playing catch-up on my Project life album but I've accepted that since I've been more of ( when-ever I feel like) Project lifer but I do hope to be able to it monthly at some point without getting behind. I don't really stress getting behind on pages because to me that defeats the purpose of why I do project life in the first place ( It's my relax/zen time).

I actually used my homemade enamel dots for the first time! I personally think they look great and you really can't even tell they were homemade. What do you guys think?
I love adding little touches of stitching to my pages! I think PL is all about small details to bring your own unique style to your spreads, just like you would with a scrapbook page.
I hope you enjoyed seeing my page and if you have any questions or just feeling like popping by to say "hi" feel free to do so in the comments because I loved to hear from you!

DIY Day Book Album Cover

Hello, Bloggy Peeps!
I recently designed the cover of my Amy Tangerine day book . I really enjoyed the creative process that went into designing the cover and did my very best no to over -think it, which can be difficult for me at times ( believe it or not). The best advice I can give you when attempting to design your own (album cover) is to just commit to whatever decision you make and don't fiddle around with it to much because it might keep you from even attempting to start. I find that in crafting the hardest part is just the  "starting process" because at least for me, I tend to want things to just look perfectly designed but "what is perfectly designed??".  " Beauty is in the eye of the beholder" as the old saying goes and not everyone will like your design but at the end of the day if you like the design that's all that really matters. I guess the point I'm trying to make is that you should be crafting for " YOU" and no one else but you and it will be perfect! On that note ( I do hope you like my design) or at the very least it inspires you to start a project you have been scared to begin if your interested in seeing the creative process on this cover checkout my youtube channel on the side bar where I have " DIY" video on this album cover.

I love creating my own elements ,so I designed all the mini circles you see on the page. It was my attempt at creating ones similar to the Studio Calico ones but with my own twist.
