PL2022 - Week 12 | Sahlin Studio

Here is week 12 of my project life album. 

It was my birthday week. I knew it was going to be a hard one. The first time in my 52 years that my Mum didn't phone and sing happy birthday to me. 

My sweet girl made me an epic chocolate birthday cake. Seriously, it was delish. So good, that both my Dad and brother requested she make it for their upcoming birthdays as well. 

This was also the week of the now famous Will Smith Oscar 'Slap'. Of course that had to make it into the memory keeping. 


  • The most beautiful bouquet of pale pink roses ever, from my mother-in-law. 
  • Birthday pizza and cake. 
  • Dinner out with friends. So lucky to have them in my life [even if she is an Oiler's fan... 😝]
  • The play out of the 'slap' and Madelyn's comments pertaining to the Oscars.

PL2022 - Week 11 | Sahlin Studio

Here is week 11 of my project life album. 

The highlight of this week was we finally saw Foreigner, a concert experience 2 years in the making. What made it even more fun, was the kids came with us. They were some of the youngest fans in attendance. But make no doubt about it, they knew and sang along to every song. Such a great memory that we'll be able to look back on forever. 

One thing I want to always remember, is after the concert was over, Mason found a guitar pick on the floor. So Madelyn and Barry went up closer to stage, to see if she could find one too. A guy came out from backstage and said "Dad and Daughter, how awesome" and threw her a pick. She was beyond thrilled. 

Such a great night.

PL2022 - Week 9 & 10 | Sahlin Studio

Back to weeks 9 & 10 of my project life album. I combined these two weeks, because I really didn't have very many photos. Like hardly any at all... One reason why there are 3 different hockey photos on this page. 

Sometimes the every day looks a little similar. To me, that's ok. I was glad to have the photos I did, and I like how this page turned out. 

  • Friday is reserved for Gin & Tonic...
  • Mason played a lot of hockey this weekend. His last hurrah for the year. It was a good run, and he enjoyed it. 
  • Walking Miss Libby in the snow.
  • When I was taking a team photo, Mason grabbed his Dad and stood and posed for me. Love it.

May 2022 Template Freebie | Sahlin Studio

The beginning of a new month means that Sahlin Studio has a new template available. Download template here. It can be downloaded for free, through all of May. I love using a template as my jumping off point to capture a story. 

This is a super fun story, that took place this past week. 

For Madelyn's birthday, we surprised her with tickets to see her favourite band. She had no idea, and she was over the moon when she opened them. Barry took her this past week to the concert. She got her very first tour t-shirt and couldn't have been more delighted.


I love that using templates, makes it so easy to capture stories.

May Featured Product | Sahlin Studio

Each month Sahlin Studio features a product/s that are deeply discounted. For the month of May, Whispers: Nature and Alpha Grass are those products. You can download these for 50% the regular price through this whole month. And since there is finally evidence of grass turning green and a hint of green leaves on the trees, this product has come at the perfect time. 

Here's the layout I created using the product.


I love how this girl loves all critters. Still. She shies away from nothing. She's our go to person if there's something scuttling along the floor in the house. She loves the dirt and all things that live in it. This photo was taken when she was 15, her bug net in hand, hoping to find a frog [she did] Now at 17 not much has changed, I hope she'll always have her love of critters big and small.
