Fabscraps Design Team Project: Memory Lane Pocket Letter

Pinterest. Need I say more? Well actually I guess I will or this would be shortest blog post ever.

Pinterest introduced me to pocket letters. I have been busily pinning the amazing creations you ladies have created. All I can say is wow. The imagination that you guys put into those tiny boxes is awe inspiring.

I finally took the plunge and created my very first pocket letter using the Memory Lane paper line from Fabscraps as well a as their bird stencil. The rest are just bits and bobs from my stash.

Fabscraps Design Team Project Coffee Confessions

I am quite sure that the incredible ladies at Fabscraps were reading my mind when they designed this adorable coffee themed paper line.

Don't let the soft pastels fool you. This paper is fairly cheeky and celebrates all things #coffee and of course #bff.

This sweet beerboard book was perfect to create a very vintage looking memory book.

Fabscraps Design Team Layout for Memory Lane

I was so excited to work with the beautiful floral paperline Memory Lane from Fabscraps. The soft flowing colours make creating a spectacular layout a snap.

This layout features memory lane design paper, chipboard and their beautiful feather stencil. I love the way the feathers jump off the page.

Free Fitness Tracker for Planners

Hey guys. One of the things I really need to focus on this year is being active. The long winter has made me feel lethargic and the lack of sunshine has made me lose all ambition to be doing any kind of excercise.

I think we actually had two days when the sun shone this week so I felt motivated enough to make this tracker. I use the fitness planner from Happy Planner  but I wanted a tracker strictly for excercise. If you are interested in tracking your fitness, feel free to grab this free printable.
