Volume 1 & 2 Templates | Dunia Designs

Today only, you can get a couple of volumes of templates from Dunia Designs for 50% off. 

I had so much fun with both of these templates. I love the layering aspect. 

Each volume has 2 templates. Here is one of the templates from Volume 1, using the Good Vibes Collection. 

Here is one of the templates from Volume 2, using the Vibrant Collection:

Vibrant Collection | Dunia Scraps

I've been invited to be a guest on Dunia Designs for the next 3 months.

This layout has no photos, but is all about our disappointment in not getting THE email after registering for Taylor Swift tickets. 

Man oh-man... Such disappointment to be put on the waitlist. 

We've heard since, that over 33 million people registered. [Keeping in mind that the population of Canada is just over 38 million] Also, she's only coming to Toronto, which is the first hurdle, but we thought if we could get tickets, we'd cross that bridge when we got to it. 

We're not totally shut out yet. We still have a chance next week.  Crossing our fingers so hard. 

I was sure Mad had manifested this to come true... She's desperate to see this concert. Like so many others.

I can't remember an artist that has this kind of following. I'm so happy for her. I just wish we could see her in person too!

August 2023 Template Freebie | Sahlin Studio

It's August which means that Sahlin Studio has released her free monthly template. 

The template can be downloaded through the entire month for free. To do that, follow this link: 

Here's what the template looks like: 

We just celebrated a grade 12 graduation here, so this was the perfect template to showcase some grad photos. 

I feel really fortunate that we were able to experience this, because when Mason graduated, in 2020 we were in full pandemic lockdown mode. 

To create this layout along with the free template, I used Sahlin Studio featured product for August. This entire collection, Celebrate, can be picked up for 50% off. Check out the info here:

It's super hard to get my head around the fact, that Mad is old enough to graduate. What does that say about her Dad and I? We don't feel like we're old enough to have any kids graduated, let alone two.

PL2023 - Week 21 | Sahlin Studio

Week 21 of my project life album focuses mainly on grade 12 grad... 

I can hardly believe that the baby has now officially graduated high school. How can that even be?? Yet it is. The evidence is here:

PL2023 - Week 20 | Sahlin Studio

By week 20, there was finally signs of spring. 

It takes so excruciating long for the nice weather to get here, and then when it does, BAM, it's hot.

That seems to be the way the weather is happening here now. Our new normal. Though we did need to replace our furnace this winter [it stopped working during the coldest week in December] we weren't in the financial position to add A/C on at the same time. 

So once again, the house gets stifling... 

Without further adieu, week 20:

• Cherry tree blooms. So beautiful, I wish they lasted longer. 
• Our first patio beer during our tutor session date. 
• Finally, enjoyed a morning coffee on the deck. 
• Make up practice for Fairy Foxglove. She's so excited about her job at Calaway this summer. 
• Work photo that I've covered for privacy, though she'll be in 1000's of peoples photos this summer.

July 2023 Template Freebie | Sahlin Studio

The start of a new month also means the release of a new free template from Sahlin Studio. Here is the free template for July, follow this link to download the template for free.

12x12 in size, with lots of spots to add your own touches. Here's my version of it:

I also used July's featured product on this page, Project Mouse (Paradise) This collection is on sale for 50% off through all of July, so get it now while you can for this great price! I used the entire bundle on this page, but you can pick up individual pieces [paper/elements/journal cards/word art] for 50% off as well. 

We had such a great family vacation last year. We went to our happy place, the west coast. We enjoyed a week together hanging out and beachcombing.  I hope to get back to there soon. There's something so soothing about hearing the waves crash.  

I don't know how many more family getaways are in the cards for all four of us but I sure enjoy our time together when we're able to make it happen. [And I tend to think that as long as we're paying, they'll continue to join us]
