Stampin' Up Project Life!

Wow! We are all so excited to be part of Stsmpin' Up and our new Project Life venture. Hi there and welcome to my blog. Project Life is a brand new concept by Stampin' Up this year. We have teamed with the wonderful Becky Higgins to bring you a fantastic choice of super simple, totally affordable ways to get your photos into pages. It's just great. I have SOOOO many photos all over the place and never the time to put them into albums, but this way is just so easy.......took a whole 15 minutes to complete. Well, ok, it's not quite finished, but for my first PL attempt I was pretty impressed at how easy and quick it was to do.... Project Life ideas can be found scattered throughout our catalogue, but you can find the introduction on page 24. Everything is there on offer for you to create as simple or involved as you like. Personally, I loved the simplicity and ease of it all. Here is my first ever PL page. I hunted around and found some very old photos of my daughter and her first long term pony. Little girls and their ponies have a one of a kind relationship. Mindy was that special pony too. She was gentle and kind, but had the get up and go which was what Laura had so much fun doing. We had her for about 4-5 years until Laura was just too big for her. VERY sad day when she went back to her original owner. (But she went onto another young owner and continued her happy lifestyle). The girls used to ride from the paddock to our place and ring my front door bell. There on the porch step was Mindy looking for a treat. They used to have picnics in the back yard and Mindy even chased me up the side path to get the biscuit container! They did Pony Club together and through that jumping and Dressage and the best of all...Games Days. This is where we would, meet with other pony clubs and the kids and horses had all different obstacle races etc lasting a day. Mindy was a well known expert for her games skills and they came home with many ribbons. Not sure who had the most fun.....Mindy or Laura. Laura had to come home from pony club sick one day and this was before we had mobile phones. We got a call eventually to say she had ridden home and when we raced to get her all we could see was Mindy literally bringing her home down the road. She had done this all the way from pony club! It turned out laura had appendicitis!! She was the BEST little girl's pony in the world. Laura went onto bigger and better things with horses over many years but there will always be a special place in our hearts for our little Mindy girl. Here's a few pictures I used from long ago......(Laura is now 28!). You can see how simple it was to make by just slipping the photos into place and adding some journaling.

Thanks for dropping by. Remember, if you would like a catalogue or I can help in any way with your Stampin'Up products or you would like to know more about project life, don't hesitate to contact me. See you again soon. Take care. Di
