<span style="font-size: large;">It's so hard to believe we're already nearly a month and a half into the new year! Valentine's Day has come so quickly, it feels like just last week I was getting ready for Christmas!</span></center>
<center>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></center>
<center>
<span style="font-size: large;">Today I am excited to be sharing with you my final guest designer project for <b><a href="http://www.craftindesertdivasshop.com/">Craftin' Desert Divas</a></b>! Thank you so much again, Tara, for asking me to design for you! </span></center>
<center>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></center>
<center>
<span style="font-size: large;">While I'm not someone who makes a HUGE deal about Valentine's Day, I do enjoy a day of feeling a little extra loved. :) The nice part about being a teacher is that you always have a surplus of valentines, no matter if you're single or taken!</span></center>
<center>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></center>
<center>
<span style="font-size: large;">Currently I'm student teaching in an awesome fifth grade classroom. At this particular school, there are three fifth grade classes, and three days a week, the students rotate between each teacher's room for Language Arts instruction to help prepare them for middle school. I had originally planned on making treats just for my class, but since Valentine's Day lands on a day where we have groups, I couldn't just leave the other two classes out! So, I created a little something for them as well with the help of <b><a href="http://www.craftindesertdivasshop.com/">Craftin' Desert Diva's</a></b>.</span></center>

<br /></center>
<center>
<span style="font-size: large;">These are inspired by an idea I found on Pinterest, and I think they're just adorable! Both practical and tasty. :) I bought some Valentine's Day-themed pencils from the dollar store and adhered heart die cuts <i>(cut with my Cameo) </i>to each end. I then bought Hershey's chocolate hearts for the tips of the arrows and adhered them to the hearts using some double-sided tape. </span></center>
<center>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></center>
<center>
<span style="font-size: large;">The hearts on the top are stamped with a sentiment from Craftin Desert Diva's new <b><a href="http://www.craftindesertdivasshop.com/item_91/Sending-Love.htm">"Sending Love" stamp set</a></b>. It was a perfect fit for this project!</span></center>

<center>
<span style="font-size: large;">For my class, I made individual goodie bags with a tiny 3x3 valentine for each, along with a pencil and a couple pieces of candy. I'm so excited to see how they like them!</span></center>
<center>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></center>

<span style="font-size: large;">Have you made any Valentine's Day treats for students? For the students in your child's class? I'd love to see! :) </span></center>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #141823; font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 20px;">Today I have created a couple of goodie bags to give to my two closest friends for Valentine's Day! We typically don't give each other large gifts for birthdays </span></span><span style="color: #141823;"><span style="line-height: 20px;">and whatnot, but I always like to give small, handmade gifts when I can. </span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #141823;"><span style="line-height: 20px;">Inside the gift bags are nail polish and some candy </span><i style="line-height: 20px;">(they both have a thing for candy hearts) </i><span style="line-height: 20px;">and I plan on tossing some chocolate in there as well. I used stamps from the "Sending Love" stamp set to create the tags and the stamps on the bottom of the chocolate candies. Papers are from Echo Park and the Kraft tags are from my stash. I used Memento Ink in Tuxedo Black</span><i style="line-height: 20px;"> (my favorite!) </i><span style="line-height: 20px;">I purchased some crinkle paper from the dollar store to fill the bags with, can you believe my local Target and Walmart didn't have any?! Anyways, these were tons of fun to make and I can't wait to give them to my friends in a couple of weeks! :)</span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">My poor, dusty blog...</span></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">My oh my has it been quite some time since I've last posted! I promise I haven't fallen off the face of the earth, nor have I stopped crafting. Between school <i>(now student teaching)</i>, work, spending time with my great boyfriend, and having a social life, I don't have anywhere near as much time to craft as I used to. And when I do, I typically don't take post-worthy pictures of my creations. ;) </span></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">When I do craft, I do feel a bit sad that my hobby has had to be placed on the back burner. But I know that right now my focus has to be mainly on student teaching, and that's not in any way a bad thing. I do still check in with my crafty <b><a href="https://www.facebook.com/especially.ashley">Facebook </a></b>quite often and have some big creative plans in the works, it's just a matter of time and patience. :)</span></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Anyways! The reason I am posting today is because I was kindly asked by Tara from <b><a href="http://www.craftindesertdivas.com/">Craftin' Desert Divas</a></b> to be a guest designer! Having not served on<i> (or managed) </i>any design teams in quite some time now, I was thrilled at the opportunity and of course said yes!</span></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></center>
<center style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I will be sharing a sneak peek for the January stamp release at <b><a href="http://www.craftindesertdivas.com/">Craftin' Desert Divas</a></b>!</span></center>

<span style="font-size: large;">To accent the envelopes, I used enamel dots and a small heart punch. The sentiment is stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and I colored in the tiny heart within the sentiment using a Copic marker. I love the layered look of this card! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">I am not one to ever just fall off the face of the earth. Ever. I cannot even begin to express the guilt I feel for neglecting my little blog, and not only my hobby, but my passion for crafting. This summer brought with it a whirlwind of emotions I could have never anticipated, and in the process of that I lost sight of myself<i> (and my mojo went out the window)</i>, both of which I am slowly beginning to regain. :) That's the short and sweet version, and for time purposes and for fear of boring you all, I won't go into much further detail. I'm just so happy to be back in my happy place again! </span></center>

<span style="font-size: large;">As some of you may know, I am in school studying to become an elementary school teacher. This is my last "regular" semester as an undergrad, as I will be student teaching starting in January and then graduating in May. It's so exciting and a bit surreal to be in the home stretch! School is another reason my crafting has slowed down. Between sitting in class, being out in schools, and doing homework and writing lesson plans, there's little time to sit down, spread out, and work on a project. Crafting shouldn't be stressful, and I've found it's hard for me to "get in the groove" when I'm constantly faced with time constraints. </span></center>

<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I spent my summer working both of my library jobs and building my resume as I facilitated programs for young readers. I had a blast! Don't be surprised if you see more teacher and classroom-related projects on my blog in these upcoming months. If that's all the crafting I have time for, that's more than fine with me. :) One of the things I'm looking forward to most about becoming a teacher is of course, decorating my classroom!</span></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">My posts may be less frequent in the beginning, but I am determined to get back to blogging and crafting regularly. Maybe even apply for a design team or two. :) In the meantime, I am looking forward to reconnecting with you all and pursuing my passion!</span></center>

<span style="font-size: large;">So, when I posted a month ago saying I was back to blogging, I definitely had NO intention of taking nearly a month to actually start posting again. I have, however, been crafting during my unintended, four-week absence. :) I have a series of design team projects to share with you that I created for <b><a href="http://www.thescrapbookingstudio.com/">The Scrapbooking Studio</a></b>, and I'm going to share my first set of projects today!</span></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The three projects I'm about to share with you were all created using <b><a href="http://www.thescrapbookingstudio.com/shop/Brands--Designers/Imaginisce/Perfect-Vacation.htm">Imaginisce's "Perfect Vacation" line.</a></b> Such a fun line for documenting all those summer trips and adventures!</span></center>

<span style="font-size: large;">This is a picture taken of my parents while visiting the Hoover Dam a few years back. I unfortunately, was not on this trip, but had fun flipping through the photo albums looking for the perfect picture to document and bring to life. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">The 'You Are My World Forever' is a die cut from the line, and I LOVE that saying!</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">The banner pieces are cut from a piece of paper from the line and I used some heart stickers from my stash to add more detail, along with adhering white enamel dots to give the banner a "strung" appearance. Using a white gel pen, I also added a tiny bit of journaling to another die cut from a piece of paper in the collection.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I just love Thickers! They add the perfect touch to this layout and some extra dimension. The camera was a last minute embellishment that I adhered using a pop dot for dimension as well. The arrow veneer<i> (I'm addicted to wood veneers)</i> is from Studio Calico and thought it fit well with the travel theme. </span></center>

<span style="font-size: large;">I don't create tags very often, but when I do, I always tell myself to start making them more because they're so much fun! I started with a Kraft tag base from my stash and layered it with BoBunny Double Dot paper and also paper from "Perfect Vacation." I distressed the edges of the polka dot paper and used pop dots to adhere the snapshot frame and the suitcase die cuts. I embellished with enamel dots, and heart and star wood veneers, and added some crinkle ribbon to finish it off. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I went back and forth trying to come up with an idea for a card using the collection - something along the lines of 'bon voyage' or 'safe travels.' However, after many failed attempts at generating an idea, it hit me. A postcard! How perfect?! I used papers from "Perfect Vacation," along with Thickers and a die cut, to embellish the front of the postcard. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I looked up the actual size of a postcard (4.25" x 6", typically) and made a quick template on my computer for the address lines. I printed it out, cut it down, and then adhered the 'World Traveler' card cut from a piece of "Perfect Vacation" paper. The stamp is by Echo Park and I cut it with my Silhouette using the Print & Cut feature. </span></center>

<span style="font-size: large;">My oh my, I cannot believe it has been about a month and a half since my last blog post. That is terrible. And I am so, so, so, sorry. Not one of these many days have past without me kicking myself for not having posted!</span></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">For those of you who don't know, I'm a student. I just finished up my junior year of college (well, technically as of Friday morning I will be finished) and this semester has been a giant whirlwind. As an elementary education major, I had to spend 80+ hours between three different classrooms, along with completing coursework for 21 credits (9 classes) worth of work. Talk about time consuming!</span></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">With that being said, my crafting unfortunately had to be put on the back burner. I've missed it SO much. I've made a couple small things here and there, but nothing substantial. Literally everything craft-related had been put on hold aside from teaching Copic classes. And even then, preparing for the classes was often stressful due to being on a time crunch. I also took back my two part-time library jobs, so that left little time on weekends to craft, which would be my normal creative time. </span></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">But, the good news... I'm on summer vacation for the next three and a half months! Which means MUCH more time for crafting and to get back into the swing of all things crafty. Next semester will be busy as it is my last regular semester before student teaching, but my workload should be somewhat lighter than this semester. I am SO looking forward to a summer filled of crafting, coloring, and teaching classes, though I will still be working and taking a couple summer courses as well. </span></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">This weekend will be spent getting my crafty area back into its organized self, between "living" in two places and teaching classes, a lot of my supplies are distraught and all over the place. These past few weeks have left me so anxious to get back to creating, not being able to has really taken it's toll on me, especially since I have been feeling very burnt out and stressed, and crafting is usually a major stress reliever for me. </span></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I have had projects planned for literally weeks and cannot wait to get started on them. I'll be back into regular card making, as well as catching up on Project Life, practicing coloring with Copics, and working on some decorations and gifts for my sisters' high school graduation party later this summer. I will also continue designing for <b><a href="http://www.thescrapbookingstudio.com/">The Scrapbooking Studio</a></b> and <b><a href="https://www.2berrycreative.com/index.html">Two Berry Creative</a></b>! </span></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I am looking forward to a relaxing, creative summer and am excited to once again be a part of the blogosphere and checking out all of your projects as well! Thank you all for your patience and understanding! :)</span></center>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">This weekend we are celebrating my 21st birthday with some fun and creative, birthday/alcohol-themed projects! It's not 21 without a drink or two, right?! And what better way to celebrate than with a blog hop with all my crafty friends?! :)</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">For my second project, I actually created a 21st birthday card for a friend of mine who has her 21st at the end of the month. </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">It's my first shaker card! I had to look up a couple tutorials to make sure I was doing it right, and it's actually super easy! Not sure why I've never tried it before. I cut the '21' using my Silhouette, adhered transparency to the inside <i>(actually a piece of cellophane bag that I cut out) </i>and then added the sequins and adhered the back to it. Ta da!</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">I misted the front of the card with some of Heidi Swapp's Color Shine in Gold to pull out the gold for the sequins. It's simple, yet classy! Perfect for my friend's style. :) </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">This weekend we are celebrating my 21st birthday<i> (which is today, the 7th!)</i> with some fun and creative, birthday/alcohol-themed projects! It's not 21 without a drink or two, right?! And what better way to celebrate than with a blog hop with all my crafty friends?! :)</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Hi everyone! Today I am sharing a super fun design team project I made for <b><a href="https://www.2berrycreative.com/index.html">Two Berry Creative</a></b> using their fabulous <b><a href="https://www.2berrycreative.com/store/p276/Hinged_Silver_Window_Tins.html">Hinged Silver Window Tins</a></b>... a tooth fairy tin! What little boy or girl wouldn't want one of these?!</span></center>

<center style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">To make the tin, I started by making the cover. First, I found this adorable, free (which made it even more adorable) tooth fairy digital stamp and printed it. I colored it with my Copic markers and used Stickles to add some sparkle. I left the tin plain, but think it would look fabulous covered in washi tape!</span></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">For the inside of the tin, I used some pink polka dot paper <i>(I believe it's Recollections)</i> and cut it down to the size of the tin <i>(3 3/4", x 2 1/4', x 3/4")</i>, and used my corner rounder to round the edges. After adhering the tooth fairy to the inside of the tin, I adhered the pink polka dot paper. </span></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">The cute little poem was found here on Pinterest, and I typed it and printed it on white cardstock, and rounded those corners as well. </span></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">I thought this was such a cute idea when I first saw it and knew the <b><a href="https://www.2berrycreative.com/store/p276/Hinged_Silver_Window_Tins.html">Two Berry tins</a></b> would be perfect! You could totally customize this for both boys and girls. </span></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Do you have any special Tooth Fairy containers or even traditions?! We'd love to see/hear!</span></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Have a fabulous day! </span></center>

<div align="left">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div align="left">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">I'm enrolled in 9 classes, which is 21 credit hours.<em> (Meaning I spend an average of 21 hours in class a week - not counting all the homework and studying I do outside of class).</em></span></div>
<div align="left">
<em><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></em></div>
<div align="left">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">As an elementary education major less than a year away from student teaching, I'm beginning practicum experiences and spending a lot of time in elementary schools. This semester, I am required to spend 80 hours in three different classrooms. 20 hours with a reading specialist, 30 hours with a special education teacher, and 30 hours with a general classroom teacher during the subjects of math, science, and social studies. Thankfully two of my placements are at the same school and the other school is nearby, but, 80 hours is A LOT.</span></div>
<div align="left">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div align="left">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Prior to starting at my new college this school year, I worked part-time at two libraries. During my winter break I picked up some hours at one of them and was asked if I would like to continue working one Saturday a month, since I'm home all the time. Of course I said yes! Not long after that, I was asked if I would be interested in working weekend hours at the other library because they are undergoing some major changes and were in need of immediate help with someone who did not need very much training. So, I am back to working two jobs <em>(which I love, don't get me wrong)</em> and traveling home every weekend. It's only an hour and a half drive, and I was coming home pretty much every weekend anyways. I am so thankful for the opportunity to work again at two places that I absolutely love and enjoy.</span></div>
<div align="left">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div align="left">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">In the fall I also started teaching Copic marker classes and I am continuing to teach monthly classes at The Scrapbooking Studio in Davenport, Iowa, and also at a store closer to my hometown in Sandwich, Illinois, called Peddlers Den. It is so much fun combining my passion and my hobby. I am on the design team for The Scrapbooking Studio as well, and am also currently designing for Two Berry Creative.</span></div>
<div align="left">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div align="left">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">So, aside from all that, I'm also trying to maintain a social life and create some down time for myself. My friends coerced me into joining two intramural sports - something I have NEVER done before and NEVER thought I would be doing - and I am now cosmic bowling on Monday nights and playing volleyball on Thursday nights. Both start within the coming weeks, and I'm both excited and a bit nervous because I'm not very athletic!</span></div>
<div align="left">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div align="left">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">I apologize, I didn't mean to write a book! I feel so guilty for not posting as much as I normally do, but honestly my days blend together and I have no idea where time goes. I have amazingly been keeping up with my Project Life pages and working on a few other projects as well. I miss regularly crafting so much! I'm counting down the days until my semester is over at the beginning of May. :)</span></div>
<div align="left">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div align="left">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">So, with that all said, let's take a visual look at my crazy life with my Week 4 Project Life spread:</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">I limited Week 4 to a one page spread because it wasn't a very eventful week. This was also a design team project for The Scrapbooking Studio made with We R Memory Keeper's "Notable" collection (more projects created with this line coming next week).</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>

<div align="left">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">The two pictures in the center were taken in my Assessment and Diagnosis in Reading and Science Methods for Elementary Teaching courses. In learning how to be a teacher, we often play the role as students so we can better understand how to teach alongside learning different teaching methods. In Reading, we played a word forming game using candy hearts, and in Science, we planted lima beans.</span></div>
<div align="left">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div align="left">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">There was also a lot of snow this week and while waiting for the bus (which was over 20 minutes late - ugh) Danielle and I decided to make snow angels in the parking lot. I think we've been spending too much time acting like kids in class!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>

<div align="left">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">The January card was cut from a 12x12 sheet of paper from "Notable" and instead of writing the dates of the week on the title card, I used an embellishment to indicate the week on the calendar card.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Happy almost-Valentine's Day! I'm one of those people who truly loves Valentine's Day, even if my "valentines" happen to be friends or students. Unfortunately due to my extremely hectic schedule I didn't get to do a whole lot of Valentine's Day crafting this year, but I did make some adorable Valentine's Day envelopes using fabulous products from <b><a href="https://www.2berrycreative.com/index.html">Two Berry Creative</a></b>!</span></center>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Let me just start by saying - I am in LOVE with these polka dot kraft bags. Like, absolutely in love. I love polka dots and these are SO cute! How could you not want to embellish them?! They could be used for so many different projects. </span></div>
<br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">To embellish my envelopes, I used washi tape, twine, dry erase board labels, Thickers, and some SRM Valentine's Day stickers. These were easy and simple to make and would even work well for a kids craft!</span></center>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">I used paper from Basic Grey's "Bittersweet" collection to create this Valentine's Day card. I cut the hearts using papers from the collection and my Silhouette Cameo. The 'hugs and kisses' sentiment is from a retired Whimsical Designs stamp set. I love how the pretty pearls tie the card together!</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Wow! Time is certainly flying by. As some of you know, I'm a student studying to become an elementary school teacher (this time next year I'll be student teaching and preparing to graduate). This semester I am taking 9 classes which equals 21 credit hours, and is considered an overload. Since the semester had started, crafting had been put on the back burner for a few weeks while I got settled into my new routine. Now that I have a better idea of my schedule I should be back to posting regularly, although not as often during previous semesters, but I'll make up for it in the summer. :)</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">This is my first year doing Project Life and I'm loving it! The only thing I'm having an issue with is developing a "style" but I know that comes with time and consistency. Since I didn't get around to sharing a spread last week, today I am sharing both Week 2 and Week 3 spreads.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">~ The new semester started two days late because of the extreme cold, with the windchill it was nearly -40 degrees!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">~ My friend Danielle and I took some fun "first day of school" pictures</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">~ My friends and I played our favorite card game (which we call "Sammich") but it's better known as Egyptian Ratscrew (I think)</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">~ My sister came to stay with me for a night!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">For Week 3 I decided to give a black and white layout a try. I really like how it turned out!</span></div>

<b><u><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Week 3 Highlights</span></u></b><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">~ Lots of time spent with friends! </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">~ Danielle and I had fun (well, as much fun as we could) in night class drinking Capri Suns</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">~ I got a free sweatshirt which I <i>love, </i>and myself, Danielle, and Ellerie took a "triplet" picture together</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">~ A group of us played Scattergories, one of my favorite games! Included is part of my score sheet</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">~ I got to bring one of my stuffed animals to class <i>(oh, the life of an education major)</i> and I chose to bring my penguin, Paulo</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">I am off to finish a birthday card for my mom <i>(that'll be posted later this week)</i> and then it's back to creating lesson plans! Right now I'm working on a science lesson plan involving a fossil activity. Fun, but tedious! Have a great rest of your weekend.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #134f5c; font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">Happy Thursday! I can't believe it's been almost two weeks since my last blog post... YIKES! I started my spring semester and my 9 classes/21 credits have been keeping me pretty preoccupied! Thankfully I'm getting a routine down and caught up on a bunch of assignments so I should be having more time to craft. My next Project Life segment will be posted on my blog this weekend!</span></div>
<div style="border-collapse: collapse; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #134f5c; font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="border-collapse: collapse; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #134f5c; font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">Anyways! It's hard to believe that Valentine's Day is less than a month away! How crazy! Valentine's Day has to be one of my favorite "crafty" holidays, though, as a future teacher, Valentine's Day treats are so fun to make!</span></div>
<div style="border-collapse: collapse; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #134f5c; font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="border-collapse: collapse; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #134f5c; font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">Today, though, I'm sharing with you all a simple banner I made for my home using products from <b><a href="https://www.2berrycreative.com/index.html">Two Berry Creative</a></b>. </span></div>
<div style="border-collapse: collapse; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #134f5c; font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="border-collapse: collapse; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #134f5c; font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><img alt="Inline image 5" height="286" src="https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/?ui=2&ik=b1af384403&view=att&th=1439930ad122ae96&attid=0.3&disp=emb&realattid=ii_14399303cb8d279d&zw&atsh=1" width="477" /></span></div>
<div style="border-collapse: collapse; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #134f5c; font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="border-collapse: collapse; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #134f5c; font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">To make the banner, I cut banner shapes using my Silhouette out of black cardstock and patterned paper from Pebble's "Front Porch" collection. Even though it's not a Valentine line, the theme of the papers worked perfectly!</span></div>
<div style="border-collapse: collapse; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #134f5c; font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="border-collapse: collapse; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #134f5c; font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">I then cut heart shapes using my Silhouette as well, and added a chipboard letter to the center of each to spell out 'LOVE.' I lined each of the patterned papers with <b><a href="https://www.2berrycreative.com/store/p75/Red_Riding_Hood.html">Red Riding Hood</a> </b>and <b><a href="https://www.2berrycreative.com/store/p55/HOT_Pink_Baker%27s_Twine.html" target="_blank">Hot Pink</a> </b>Baker's Twine for some extra texture and dimension.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #134f5c; font-size: large;">Happy New Year, everyone! With a new year comes new changes, and boy am I excited about the new things planned for 2014! First of all, I'm starting Project Life, which is something I had the desire to do all of 2013 and meant to get started on the second half of the year, but time slipped away from me and unfortunately, I never was able to get around to it. Now, I'm determined to keep up with it on a weekly basis and share it with you on my blog.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #134f5c; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #134f5c; font-size: large;">My plan is to create just a one page layout for every week, unless I have enough to fill a complete spread. I'm fearful of planning to create a spread each week because I know some weeks will be less eventful than others, and I don't want to become stressed trying to fill pages. So, I'll stick with a layout a week and if I have enough or if there's a holiday or something else special going on, I'll make a full spread. :) </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #134f5c; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #134f5c; font-size: large;">To kick off the year, I created a New Year's page and also my Week 1 page. My weeks are going to be running from Sunday-Saturday, and because the new year started this week, I thought I would count this week as Week 1. I finished a little early so I could share it with you this week. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #134f5c; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #134f5c; font-size: large;">Now, I have a <i>slight </i>obsession with Project Life Kits, which is silly because they come with SO many cards, but I love having a variety! I personally own the Jade, Midnight, and Seasons Mini Kit, but also have cards from older kits such as Clementine and Turquoise from a few swaps I did. I'm trying to resist purchasing more, but we'll see how long I hold out!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #134f5c;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #134f5c; font-size: x-large;">So without further ado, here's my full spread!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #134f5c;">(Forgive me as I'm still playing around with how to take the best pictures of these layouts in regards to location and lighting - give me a few weeks and I'm sure I'll have the hang of it!)</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #134f5c; font-size: large;">No projects to share today, but rather, I'd like to share with you what's up and coming for myself and my little blog in 2014. </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #134f5c; font-size: large;">The start of a new year is always exciting, and also a great time for change. I'm one of those people who embrace change and enjoy changing things up here and there. </span></div>

Yay! I'm excited to announce that at the end of January Made Especially for You will be receiving a makeover by Kim from </span><b style="font-size: x-large;"><a href="http://www.733design.com/">733 Design</a></b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">!

My most favorite blogs dive into the life of the blogger rather than simply sharing the blogger's fabulous projects, and I think it's time my readers get to learn a little bit more about me and my life, aside from my hobby.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #134f5c; font-size: large;">Okay, so, this planner cost $50. Now, before you go judging me, it is TOTALLY worth it. I'm not one to throw down $50 on just anything <i>(especially as a college student)</i> but I'm an organizing/planning/OCD freak and feel much better when I write things down to help keep my life in order.

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #134f5c; font-size: large;">How pretty is this color combo?! It obviously lends itself nicely to something Christmas-y, so I used the colors as inspiration for our Christmas place cards, which worked out nicely since I was able to kill two birds with one stone. :) Aside from the colors, I also added some sparkle to match the ornament using Champagne Stickles. </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #134f5c; font-size: large;">The place cards are rather simple, but I like that they still have a touch of elegance. I computer generated everyone's names, and then printed and cut them out of cream colored cardstock. I used a Fiskars corner punch for a more decorative look, and added some gold cardstock behind the cream to tie in with the colors on the table itself.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #134f5c; font-size: large;">Happy Sunday! I can officially say I am done with finals and classes for the semester as of Friday afternoon - yay! I've spent the past two days simply relaxing and not doing very much, and honestly, it felt great to be a bit lazy for a change. :) But now I'm ready to spend the next 3 weeks crafting my butt off!</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #134f5c; font-size: large;">Today I'd like to share with you design team projects I made for <b><a href="http://www.thescrapbookingstudio.com/">The Scrapbooking Studio</a></b> using the new "Mistletoe Magic" collection by My Mind's Eye. At first I thought it was a tad bit vintage for me, but I immediately fell in love with the patterns and the colors!</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #134f5c; font-size: large;">Isn't this snowman cupcake the <i>cutest?!</i> It's from Peachy Keen's <b><a href="http://www.peachykeenstamps.com/shop/food-beverage/pk-1328-yummies/">"Yummies" stamp set</a></b>. The papers are from Echo Park's "Take a Note" collection and the sentiment is from <b><a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/GetInkyStamps">Get Inky Stamps</a></b>. I colored the cupcake with Copics E25, E47, E49, R05, R08, B91, B95 and B97. I also added a few dabs of Bisque Liquid Pearls as a final embellishment. </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #134f5c; font-size: large;">Snowflake ornaments! Last winter at Michael's I found some chipboard snowflakes in their dollar bins and grabbed a few packages. I painted them with white acrylic paint and stamped faces with the smallest faces in Peachy Keen's <b><a href="http://www.peachykeenstamps.com/shop/faces/pk-500-snow-cuties-face-assortment/">"Snow Cuties" stamp set.</a></b> I also brushed on a layer of clear glitter paint, and used twine from <b><a href="https://www.2berrycreative.com/store/c3/TWINE.html">Two Berry Creative</a></b> to hang them on the tree.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #134f5c; font-size: large;">Well, enough play and time to get back to work. I'm creating a board game that involves using the Print and Cut feature on my Cameo, so at least my next project is somewhat craft-related!</span></div>
