hey everyone! kristi here!!

august was packed with stuff, so it was actually quite hard to shrink it down to a manageable weekly format.  i do love a challenge though. photos of my craftings, chloe with my new favorite crystal, beach time, a business card from beautiful dreamers and a photo of a close friend’s wedding sum it all up.

(products used: july)

this spread is an example of making mistakes work to your advantage, as i had printed out the july title for a prior spread and it just didn’t work. i saved it because i hate throwing things away, and while i was working this page out i used it as a placeholder and i actually just ended up liking the way it looked flipped upside down. i added some triangle stamps to it because i am obsessed with triangles right now.

these eight pocket spreads are usually my toughest to crack, but sometimes you just need that much space to fit it all in. the end of august was lots of beach time and a wild (but doomed) romance.

(products used: striped paper, september)

fall times! a funny quote from a friend, a collage of self portraits and a little journaling on my title page sum up the beginning of september. the 6×8 page was ripped from a newspaper and i wanted to cover up the person, so i ran the top part through the printer with the striped paper and then used the september card with the bottom chopped off.

(products used:  fortune)

had to squeeze one last long beach trip in before the weather goes cold. that aqua background was just screaming for a portrait, and the ok computer album playing at work during a thunderstorm just had to be documented. i journaled on a page from a magazine and used some fun circle jams on the craft paper. life.

thanks for visiting!!!
