Make It Monday - July Birthday Cards

With a very busy month going on, I wasn't especially creative for next month's birthday cards. I still managed to do something slightly new though.

I ordered a new cutter as planned - a butterfly shape. I love the effect and colours this month. I stuck with the stars for male cards and mixed up the colours.

Project Life - July

Clearly, I was a little behind on this project and have been playing catch up this month but I am still really pleased with the results.

July was a quiet month so there isn't too much going on but I did manage to get a nice mix of photos and journalling in there.

New this month and next is the seafoam Project Life kit which I finally managed to get my hands on (it had sold out when I started this album). I love the colours.

July was mainly our early adventures with Isabella, getting back to crafts, and Mum's flying visit.

July Goals

As we're still getting into a routine as a family of three, I'm keeping it simple with goals this month.

• Complete my June project life spread
• Tick three things of my '30 things' list
• Complete my next sewing project - pyjama bottoms
• Get Isabella's birth announcements made and sent

July Birthdays

I'm feeling especially blessed at the moment that little Isabella is just clingy enough for special mummy-baby cuddles but also independent enough for me to find time for crafting again already. I can't wait to do crafts with her when she's a bit older.

Above are my cards for the next month. I used the last marbling card from my adventures last month and then carried on experimenting with the new card stock and stamps. Nothing new this month but I am pleased with getting them done in time.

July Goals

Yes, I'm keeping it simple this month!
