The one where I compare PL in a Handbook vs. 12x12

Hiya everyone! I have had a couple people ask me how I like going from Handbook to the 12x12 and I wanted to share a couple thoughts on the subject today! :)

So what are YOUR thoughts?! What do you work with? What do you like/love about it and what would you change?!

The one with CUPPA Project Life

I have to say, I had SO much fun putting PL together this month, I really love how this is all coming together in the larger PL format. I still really wish there was a 8.5x11 format, I think that really would be perfect for me, how about you?


Isn't this kit lovely?! Have you picked up yours yet? They are available here :) 

Here are my projects this month:









I was  excited when Studio Calico asked me to design some stickers for the kit,  and I love how the circle days of the week stickers came out! So to celebrate I designed a little template to use along side them (you can see the combo in the final week of PL above) 


You can download it here

Tomorrow I have a video planned comparing the PL in the Handbook verses the 12x12.

The one where Chantal has a special gift for YOU!!!

Happy Monday! Monday's are always a little better with a freebie, aren't they? Well I have a special gift for you today from the lovely Chantal! I personally feel like Chantal and I have VERY similar taste, I just love every single thing she does!


Here is a little note from Chantal:
I cannot truly express how thrilled I am to have been asked to be part of this very special project that Shanna has put together for everyone. It is very hard to keep focus of our life's many blessings (little or small) when a busy schedule seems to take over your every waking moment and this is why I am so very much looking forward in taking part in this project.
I currently live on the outskirts of Ottawa, Ontario, Canada with my little brother and my long term partner Jeff. I also share custody of my five year old daughter Meagan from a previous marriage. I enjoy nothing more than losing myself in the creative process that comes with scrapbooking (wether it be digital, paper or hybrid) and photography.
I hope you all will enjoy this project as much as I have and will! Happy memory keeping xoxo Chantal


You can download this adorable printable here


Also, how fun! She is giving you these (not all shown) FUN digital stamps! 

I am having SO much fun seeing how you guys are using the kits! Keep tagging my on IG, and using hashtag #gratitudedocumented, I will be putting togethet a post sharing all the wonderful things you are doing!! You are such an inspiration to me, and I can't wait to share that with everyone! 

oxx thank you for all you do!


P.S. See you back on Thursday for your next download!!

The one where you start your Gratitude Documented project !!!

Yay! It is here! I can't even begin to tell you how excited I am! I never expected the excitement I have received around this project. But really, this project is ALL ABOUT YOU! Yes, YOU! As well as documenting my gratitude in my everyday, this is really my way of saying thank you to this community who has been SO VERY supportive!!! So thank you, from the bottom of my heart! <3


Here is your first download for the kit:




Also, I thought you might like the cut files today 
which you can find here :) 


In exchange for the download I have two itty bitty requests:
* If you have friends that you think would like to participate, please send them here to download instead of mailing them the links directly
* If you post your project on instagram please use hashtag #gratitudedocumented so I can see all your wonderful projects! Or better yet, tag me!!!! 

I also have a VERY special treat, my dear from Kate is sharing how she put together her gratitude kit using the downloads! If you don't already subscribe to her channel, you must! I love her, she is sweet, honest and insanely creative!



If you would like to see my video you can view it here
Also, if you make a video I would love to see it!

The one where Chantal Philippe rocks the kit in a digi way!

Chantal is my secret weapon in this whole gratitude documented process! Not only is she providing the printables one week, she also came up with the colors, which I am in LOVE with! I was not settling on a certain color combo quick enough, and then comes Chantal, swopping in with her awesomeness!!!

And look what she has done with the kit already! She is super awesome! After I saw this I quized her on her iphonography process for 1/2 the day ;) 



Items used: Mended Hex by Amy Martin Designs, Paperwhite Confetti by Sara Gleason, If Only by Lauren Reid, Photobooth by Paislee Press, Accoutrements by Valorie Wibbens, Stand Tall Numbers by CD Muckosky, All Whites Paper Pack by Vinnie Pearce and December Daily 2013 Digital Stamps by Studio Calico
