hookin' up...helmar and simple stories

So I paired up some Helmar with some Simple Stories.  I used the Take a Hike collection and if you are looking for some bang for your buck, this is it!  I created 5 project life pages and two layouts.  I still have enough paper and stickers to create a ton more.  Seriously.  Great stuff.  Prepare to be AMAZED...

But wait, there's more!!!

I know right know you are thinking..."Oh no she DIDN'T!!"  I am here to say, "Oh yes, I DID!" Here are some more....

To adhere the photos and papers, I used a combination of the ACID FREE GLUE as well as the QUICK FIX ADHESIVE RUNNER.  They rocked!

Have a super day!  By they way, you can make it EVEN MORE SUPER if you try out some  HELMAR AND SIMPLE STORIES  just like I did!! :)

PS-  All stamps used are, of course, from the UNITY STAMP COMPANY.

hot hip hop.

this right here

is my oldest child.  she rocks.  plain and simple. 

and now for this layout.  bring on summer.  our winter has sucked.  big. time.  yesterday..it was 55.  what the heck?!?!

boo.  at least i get the summers off and can scrapbook my life away!

and i would love to entertain you all with my witty comments and stories today, but i just had a medical procedure called radiofrequency done on my neck (from injuries from a car accident in 2007) and i am barely hangin' in here.  my neck feels like it got hit over and ove again with a baseball bat.  bam!

soooo....i have been holding back on you all.  yup.  it's true.  i got myself a secret and it's called PROJECT LIFE!!  love this stuff!!!  i got the kit last year and am almost finished with the album...well really i am on september, but unlike regular scrapbooking, it goes REALLY FAST!  i will post pics of my 2011 album later.  i am also using the porject life concept to finish a special vacation album from 2009!! it rocks! and i am going to create one for 2010 at te same time as i create 2012.  i am crazy-high on project life!

here is my cover page/first page for my 2012 album:

aaaaand some extra up-close shots:

i am soooooooooooooooooo excited to have found project life.  and LOTS of the unity stamps...ESPECIALLY the SMAK KITS and simple stories.  in true jen erickson fashion, i could not complete anything scrap-related without kraft paper...not even this!  i will FOR SURE post pics later of how i am setting up my kraft cards with unity.

have a super day.  it was record highs the past few dys in the upper 50's.  today we are supposed to be 19 degrees with 3-5 inches of snow.  doh!
