PROJECT LIFE 2013 | Week Thirteen

I put together my Week Eight exclusively with Studio Calico's Project Life Kit for May, Planetarium. Such a great kit with bold colors. This was the week leading up to Easter, hence the bunny craft.

I also used some of the Studio Calico digital brushes from May to add the word art to a few of the images. Maggie and her sunglasses. So cute.

I played mix and match with a few of the journal cards by cutting them up and putting them back together with my Tiny Attacher. A great soultion if you mess up a card and want to save part of it.

I am so crazy for the fabric-topped paper clips. I'm starting to see more things like paper flags show up on clips, I love it. Also, note the photo of my new toy, my Cameo! Really loving it so far.

MUSIC | May Playlist

Happy May! Here's my latest mix, a little sampling of what I'm listening to while I'm clicking away on my computer. I've included a song from The Great Gatsby soundtrack by Florence + The Machine. I'm also loving the Lana Del Ray song from the album as well, but it hasn't shown up on Grooveshark yet. Listen to the playlist in full here.

What are you listening to? I'd love to know! You can also check out my past mixes here.
