<br />
That's probably the question on all your mind's, right? Where have I been the last few months? <br />
<br />
Well...it's a long answer, but the short version is...very, very busy. My IRL (In Real Life) job got <i>incredibly</i> insanely busy. I was overworked, stressed out, tired, and spread <i>way</i> too thin! I was juggling a full time job, my <a href="http://elleandbean.etsy.com/" target="_blank">invitation business</a>, two small children, AND trying to find time to design and fit in my Project Life. Well- I clearly failed miserably at trying to juggle it all. I haven't touched my project life since February, and I've just barely managed to release a few products over the last few months.<br />
<br />
The first 6 months of 2012 have really not been my friend. But really- besides the work drama- who's fault is it that I am overwhelmed? Yeah I know- it's my own fault. I try to do too much. I try to find time to do everything my creative heart desires, and it was just not working out. Something had to give, and I was hoping that it wasn't going to be my sanity (although it came very close to that- like the time a few months ago, when I sat in the bath tub and cried for a half an hour because I was just so <i>overwhelmed</i>). <br />
<br />
So if giving up my sanity was not an option- what else has to give? I wish I could say it was the full time job, but no- that pays the bills, and living in a cardboard box with my husband, two children, and two dogs is not on my life list of things to do. Clearly, my kids mean the world to me, and that would obviously never ever ever be an option---so that leaves <a href="http://www.the-lilypad.com/store/manufacturers.php?manufacturerid=92" target="_blank">Amy Jaz Designs</a> and my invitation business <a href="http://elleandbean.etsy.com/" target="_blank">Elle + Bean</a>. <br />
<br />
If you've known me from etsy, then you know that I've worked very hard for 4 years to build up my invitation business, and it's been a successful venture for me! We've gone to Disneyland MANY times this past year, and done a lot of other fun things- all from the income from Elle + Bean. And as much fun as creating under Amy Jaz Designs has been- it was the last to be created, and the least profitable venture, so it was the on the losing end of the stick.<br />
<br />
So what does this mean for Amy Jaz Designs? Well, it means that my guest spot at <a href="http://www.the-lilypad.com/store/manufacturers.php?manufacturerid=92" target="_blank">TLP</a> will be coming to an end at the end of May. It means that if you've been eyeing any of my goods- you'd better pick them up quickly, because they will be gone from TLP on 6/1. <br />
<br />
But here's a few things that this does <i><b>not </b></i>mean...<br />
<br />
-I am NOT banishing Amy Jaz Designs from existence. I will be back Guest Designing at TLP in the fall, and every few months. I will still be around- just not driving myself insane trying to keep up with releasing new products every week.<br />
<br />
-I am NOT giving up on my Project Life! Even though I'm WAAAAY behind, I still have been keeping track of what's been going on in our lives, and I do intend to catch up at some point. I will still be sharing my project life in the forums/galleries at TLP, here on my blog, and on my facebook page at Amy Jaz Designs.<br />
<br />
-I am NOT done scrapping and sharing. I actually just signed up for Ali Edward's <a href="http://www.bigpictureclasses.com/31things.php" target="_blank">31 Things</a> class this week, and also Renee Pearson's <a href="http://www.reneepearson.com/classes/iscrapit.php" target="_blank">iScrapit</a> (starting in June). I'm really, really excited about both of these classes. I have just started on 31 Things, and will be sharing along the way, but 5 days in to the class and I am already behind (because I signed up late). :-) More on that soon. I am extra <i>super</i> excited about Renee's class, <a href="http://www.reneepearson.com/classes/iscrapit.php" target="_blank">iScrapit</a>, because it's going to teach me how to use my iPad for scrapping, and simplifying the Project Life process, and making it a more manageable task is exactly what I need in my life.<br />
<br />
So, things will change a little bit around here, but I am so happy to finally have dug myself out of my hole long enough to be able to share with you what's been going on, what you can expect for the future. I hope you will all continue to follow me, as I still hope to inspire and be inspired here on my blog.<br />

I'm a few days late with this this week, but I really think it was worth the wait. I think this is one of my favorite spreads yet.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUyLR7-ZfnTBI2aLQKu2xOz208bb2qyfOPrL2bs0zgiMQNRCEhqdDDXpJEGXi01sJuNx7wLeY1vCh-r1xbwsFOxFaBGl1SuV0Lx-_zzyC_UGFBaGxJ6_v_ERyDWhBWJTeVzqV6TMAj1K8/s1600/WeekSix_spread.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUyLR7-ZfnTBI2aLQKu2xOz208bb2qyfOPrL2bs0zgiMQNRCEhqdDDXpJEGXi01sJuNx7wLeY1vCh-r1xbwsFOxFaBGl1SuV0Lx-_zzyC_UGFBaGxJ6_v_ERyDWhBWJTeVzqV6TMAj1K8/s1600/WeekSix_spread.jpg" /></a></div>
<br />
My M.O. up to this point is to pick one kit to work with each month, but this week I felt like having some fun and spicing it up a bit. There have been quite a few new releases at <a href="http://the-lilypad.com/" target="_blank">TLP</a> lately, that are totally drool worthy, and I've been itching to play with them. See below for the full list of credits, but beware- it might be dangerous to your wallet. <br />
<br />
Close up of the Left:<br />

This side highlights some pics of Lilly eating her favorite- bananas (using Designs by Lili's photo collage templates), my Week In Review card, instagram pic about my sick day, an impromptu rock concert, a journaling card about changing my etsy shop name (exciting for me!), a pic of Lilly and her first time in pig tails, and finally- some more love about Keurig and the iced coffees that I'm totally addicted to now.<br />
<br />
Right side:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7XAWlnHPLhmdroEo2ZhpJcHFtCquU8flEgRSavNukI2S5PQwmMBcfo8AlNaCz3yaUIc9kfvYCSXlnaRJ4tWal2676Pa1F8M3-MEIQICxyOo8Exf3EWiQGjY4N4_obScvT-rI0Ns0PY1M/s1600/WeekSix_right_web.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7XAWlnHPLhmdroEo2ZhpJcHFtCquU8flEgRSavNukI2S5PQwmMBcfo8AlNaCz3yaUIc9kfvYCSXlnaRJ4tWal2676Pa1F8M3-MEIQICxyOo8Exf3EWiQGjY4N4_obScvT-rI0Ns0PY1M/s1600/WeekSix_right_web.jpg" /></a></div>
On the right side we have a picture of the hubs and I on a very rare date night at a hockey game, an iphone pic of Jules having a treat at Paradise Bakery, picture of Lilly walking with her walker, a cute instagram pic of Daddy and Lilly cuddle time, my mimosa from our brunch on Sunday (much needed), a little card to capture the passing of Whitney Houston, an instragram pic of Daddy and Jules morning tickle session, and finally- two pictures of the girls passed out in the double stroller while shopping this weekend. <br />
<br />
I love the soft color palette (again), but also the really feminine touches from the doilies (Doily Junkie by Valerie Wibbens- a MUST have for your stash!).<br />

<br />
<br />
Another MUST HAVE purchase from this week: the Vintage Valentine Collab from the TLP designers. It so delicious, and worth every. single. penny. This is definitely going to be a go-to kit for me for a long time.<br />

Here we are in week five! I was pumped this week to get to use a new kit for the month. I love the softness of this color palette.<br />
<br />
This week held two birthdays (my nephew's and my own), the superbowl, and a sick kid. <br />

This side we have pics from my nephew's birthday party, instagram pic of my elton john look alike baby, a week in review journaling card (I like this concept and will probably continue with it each week), journaling card about what Jules and Lilly are saying right now (Jules- creepy and whackadoodle, Lilly- Mmmmm and Hi), and a picture and some journaling of Jules home sick from school. Turned out she stayed home sick all week. <br />

This side shows a picture of my dog Lola, an instagram picture and some journaling about Lilly discovering a left-behind chocolate donut and the squeals of delight I heard when she started eating it, a journaling card with a pic of Lilly sticking out her tongue and journaling about how she started standing on her own this week without holding on to things, a journaling card showing what I'm reading right now, instagram pic with Jules and my nephew going for a ride, a journaling card about Superbowl Sunday, a picture of me on my birthday while everyone sang to me, and an instagram pic of my birthday present- a Keurig! <br />
<br />
I'm totally digging my color palette this week, so I'm feeling this spread.<br />
<br />
Oh- AND I sent my January spreads to <a href="http://persnicketyprints.com/" target="_blank">Persnickety Prints</a> on Sunday, and they came already. I can't tell you how excited I am to actually have my spreads in my hands and in my album. They look awesome. I'm so happy with how this project is going, and still super happy with the decision to go digital. <br />

The first thing that popped into my mind when I saw this week's M4H Project 52 theme was simplicity was my dog. Honestly, what is more simple than a dog's life? This is my chihuahua Lola, and her life consists mostly of laying around curled up into a little ball at my feet. If I'm running around like crazy, then she sits like this on the back of the couch like a queen bee. Her life is simple- I wish I could have it on some days. <br />

<br />I'm a little behind this week on posting my Project Life, but I got the spread done before the end of the week, and we've officially closed out January and I'm STILL caught up! Yay me!<br />
<br />
I'll be honest, I'm not totally in love with the spread this week. The left side I'm okay with, but the right side has too many contrasting colors and makes my eyeballs bleed a little, but I have to just get over it. The purpose of Project Life is to document our life- not create a work of art. I just need to keep reminding myself of that.<br />

This page shows my deeper dive into "properly" learning Adobe Illustrator, my new boots (yay me!), some journaling about Lilly and her crazy still-not-all-the-way-in front teeth, a beautiful sunset, a journaling card about Jules telling me she loves me "five much", and two completely adorable (yeah- I'm not gonna lie- I love these) pics of Lilly that I took while tickling her so I could get a good shot of her teeth.<br />

This week shows off a picture of Daddy snuggling with the girls, Jules and me both doing some doodling (me for designs, Jules just because), a pic of Jules after waking up from her nap, a journaling card with a quote from Jules about her being a "genius" because she shared her sippy cup with Lilly, a journaling card and instagram pic about my book club night, an instagram pic of the celebratory Bellini that I drank after a successful shopping venture for a Bridesmaids dress for my cousin's wedding, pics of Lilly holding Daddy's and Jules' hands and walking, and a picture of Lilly telling me some story (she likes to point).<br />
<br />
I'm excited that this is the last spread of January, which means that I get to play with a new kit for February's layouts. I've already chosen the <a href="http://www.the-lilypad.com/store/product.php?productid=7128&cat=0&page=1" target="_blank">All of My Love</a> papers as the basis for my February layouts, and I'm excited to get to use some <a href="http://www.the-lilypad.com/store/home.php?cat=253" target="_blank">BYOC</a> stuff from TLP to snazzy it up a bit. <br />

Last week's Project 52 prompt was imperfection, and I couldn't help but think of my daughter's incoming teeth. She's 14 months already, and it seems her teeth are taking their time coming in. Not only that, she seems to get them all at the same time (whatever happened to one at a time?). I know they'll eventually all come in, but their pattern of arrival sure has been strange.

In this blog hop, we are sharing handmade greeting cards from the team, paired with other lovely handmade gift items from Etsy. <br />
<br />
The Valentine's card that I chose from my shop is the Scattered Hearts valentine card:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/91397765/scattered-hearts-a-valentine-card?ref=v1_other_2" target="_blank"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://img2.etsystatic.com/il_fullxfull.306183078.jpg" width="400" /></a><a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/91397765/scattered-hearts-a-valentine-card?ref=v1_other_2" target="_blank"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://img2.etsystatic.com/il_fullxfull.306183070.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
This card is a folded card, measuring 4.25x5.5 inches, and is printed on 100% recycled cardstock, and comes with a 100% recycled kraft envelope.<br />
<br />
To pair with this card, I chose this beautiful photograhic art print by <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/CatNPhotography?ref=seller_info" target="_blank">CatNPhotography</a>:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/64281567/paris-5x7-fine-art-photography-print?ref=sr_gallery_30&sref=&ga_search_submit=&ga_search_query=heart+bokeh&ga_view_type=gallery&ga_ship_to=US&ga_page=1&ga_search_type=handmade&ga_facet=handmade" target="_blank"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://img2.etsystatic.com/il_fullxfull.201760658.jpg" width="502" /></a></div>
<br />
The processing on this photo is so soft and pretty, and honestly- is there anything more romantic than the Eiffel Tower? The heart bokeh in the photograph goes perfectly with the hearts on my Scattered Hearts Card.<br />
<br />
This would make a great gift for anyone that enjoys photography, home decor, paris, or just plain appreciates "pretty" stuff!<br />

I did alter the original Project Life design just a bit- I made the "pockets" smaller by just a smidge to give my page more of a border around the edge. It's more aesthetically pleasing to my eye, plus if I decide to print my layouts in a photobook, I'll need a little extra space for the binding. I also wanted to visually break up the pockets, so I added the dashed lines in between.<br />

In other news, I've been quite a busy little bee in my Etsy shop this week, and have a bunch of new products that have totally gotten me in the mood for valentine's day....<br />

First up are new photo card designs- which are perfect to send out if you ran out of time at the holidays and never sent Christmas Cards!<br />

Thank you DIGITAL Project Life! Each week reaffirms my decision to go digi, and I'm so happy I did.<br />
<br />
So here's a peak at our life on the third week of 2012:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgxL8Slkn3fV_gzLP2M803_Jw0zt7usPIYD-m1lcfzNXVWFYLHmPJvNI3eXMGDtqh5NYbWLAEz-r7VBGp-W6v-g7Fg648pFb1mljoLfHj1gh4QJ1TYnzncvwviRngV0DjGEKkBj9OhGxk/s1600/WeekThree_spread.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgxL8Slkn3fV_gzLP2M803_Jw0zt7usPIYD-m1lcfzNXVWFYLHmPJvNI3eXMGDtqh5NYbWLAEz-r7VBGp-W6v-g7Fg648pFb1mljoLfHj1gh4QJ1TYnzncvwviRngV0DjGEKkBj9OhGxk/s1600/WeekThree_spread.jpg" /></a></div>
<br />
Did you notice the use of the new design D? I really wanted to show the Rock N Roll picture in vertical format, so I chose to try a new layout for the right side. To be honest, I don't totally love how it breaks up the uniformity of the spread, but I'm willing to live with it if I have pics that must be in vertical format. I think I'm going to find that my preference throughout the year is going to be good old Design A.<br />
<br />
Close up of left side:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpcx010rdEgq0n_niVvuk_vRXyR3urTKTZ17JylOMAeW-_qjHstEPDFBqNf6gC03RU65DDovH8OnPECI0WrbzJ7N6ov7s9sdRjr6THlhtcLScN0slw8RzkcmP84wCIbR_8c9yQ4eL-Fg4/s1600/WeekThree_Left-web.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpcx010rdEgq0n_niVvuk_vRXyR3urTKTZ17JylOMAeW-_qjHstEPDFBqNf6gC03RU65DDovH8OnPECI0WrbzJ7N6ov7s9sdRjr6THlhtcLScN0slw8RzkcmP84wCIbR_8c9yQ4eL-Fg4/s1600/WeekThree_Left-web.jpg" /></a></div>
On the left side we have the title card, a black and white picture of the girls having lunch (a wonderful every day moment that I got to share with them on Martin Luther King Day), an instagram picture of our pizza and "The Bachelor" night, a quick little filler card I made, an iphone pic that the hubs took at a car show we went to this weekend, a quote from a conversation with Jules, and my favorite of this side- pics of Lilly climbing the stairs. I won't say it's the first time she showed interest in the stairs, but it was definitely the first time she quickly crawled to the landing in the blink of an eye. That meant it was time for the baby gate to go up. I absolutely love, love the expression that I caught on her face when I put the gate up.<br />
<br />
The right side:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5PTSpzxaP4YKsNX5al91D6YvNpJ_S_9teE1-QUY9LCFuT8HcBNZz9TNi0q14mfyTtdVlXFLh5Zk2k4tTVW1nhI0PG4v4ng-it62EOHS5vJWNC5fsRcmSV4ybceqlv7wKuQuNdLLkR-dw/s1600/WeekThree_Right-web.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5PTSpzxaP4YKsNX5al91D6YvNpJ_S_9teE1-QUY9LCFuT8HcBNZz9TNi0q14mfyTtdVlXFLh5Zk2k4tTVW1nhI0PG4v4ng-it62EOHS5vJWNC5fsRcmSV4ybceqlv7wKuQuNdLLkR-dw/s1600/WeekThree_Right-web.jpg" /></a></div>
On the right side we have- a hilarious picture of Jules rocking out with her pink guitar while watching American Idol, a journaling card about our rock star, a journaling card about Jules getting invited to her first "friend from school" birthday party, two pics from the party (it was at a bounce house type place), two pics of Lilly and Jules in the trunk of Grandpa's car at the car show, and a little journaling about our visit with Grandpa Jim at the car show.<br />
<br />
So you may all remember a few weeks back when I promised more designs of my <a href="http://amyjaz.blogspot.com/2011/12/preparing-for-project-life-2012.html" target="_blank">project life map</a>?? Well, I was going to do whip them up, when I realized <a href="http://www.marcypenner.com/?paged=3" target="_blank">Marcy Penner</a> beat me to the punch. SO- if you're still on the look out for Project Life Maps in other designs, be sure to stop by Marcy's blog and pick them up in all the designs <a href="http://www.marcypenner.com/?paged=3" target="_blank">here</a>. <br />
<br />
I wanted to give you a little behind the scenes look at how I map out the week before I get started. I open up the jpegs of my maps, and map everything out (and yes- I even do THIS digitally!), and then I start pulling my pictures and placing everything.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />

It's still taking me several hours to complete the spread for the week, but a major portion of this time is spent editing photos. It's definitely on my radar screen to start editing more throughout the week so I just have to pop the pictures in when it comes time to do my layout.<br />
<br />
How are you feeling with your Project Life? Are things getting easier or more overwhelming?<br />

The new purse. There's a story behind this one...I originally saw this purse over the summer when we were at Disneyland. I saw it at the Fossil store in Downtown Disney and loved it, but knew that Macy's and Dillards both carry Fossil, and those purses are always on sale. So I decided to wait. I watched it at Macy's, just waiting for the day that it went on sale (and I could be justified in buying yet ANOTHER purse!). Well the joke was on me because this thing sold out quickly- never to return. I was so sad. I checked Macy's, Dillards, the Fossil Store- all were sold out. I checked online and found a few on ebay, but didn't really want to go that route. So I chalked it up to "it was not meant to be" and moved on with my life. Then last weekend I just happened to walk by a clearance table at Macys with 1,000 purses on it, and something caught my eye... there buried beneath a bunch of other purses was this bag that I've wanted for so long. And guess what- it was on sale! 25% off, and then an additional 20% off, and then an additional 15% off when I used my Macys card. HECK YEAH! Now that is some good shopping karma. </div>

Last week was very photo intense, and this week I was able to include a little more journaling. Since our Disney trip went until Monday of this week, I was able to throw in a few more vacation photos, and my favorite- the vacation review. Each family member was interviewed about their favorite parts of the trip and it is all documented here (okay so I made up Lilly's responses).<br />

Yes! Week One is done! This week was really challenging because it was very photo intense with our trip to Disneyland. It was really hard to narrow it down to just a handful of pics from our trip. I'm still struggling with how to document our Disney trips from this year- when I finally figure it out, I'll be sure to share!<br />

<br />
I also have an insert this week- a holiday themed Disneyland map. It's an odd size, so I'm going to have to figure out how to incorporate that. I have a ton more Disneyland pics, so more on those to come.<br />

December is done! Yeah! I'm so excited to now get started on Project Life 2012. And as much as I love my Candy Cane Lane kit, I'm excited to use a new kit for the month of January. As I mentioned earlier, my kit of choice for my January layouts will be the Fresh Start kit.<br />

I wish I could say that this closes out my 2011 Project Life album, but I still have some serious holes to fill (think September through November!). But I'm not going to let it get me down. I'm going to carry on with 2012, and hope that I find some time to go back and fill the holes at some point. </div>

This week's Project 52 prompt was "life", which could have been
interpreted in so many ways! I had imagined all sorts of photo ops for
this week, and in the end, the week got away from me and all I was
left with were some lack luster photos. I ended up choosing this photo
of my littlest daughter. She was playing on the floor with Daddy, and
when she saw me get out my camera, she booked it over to me with a
huge smile on her face. </div>

Well I'm here to report that YES- I will create those for you....just as soon as I get back from Disneyland. ;-) So please sit tight for a couple of days, and hold your breath in anticipation.

You probably have heard of the idea- take one photo a week. Hmm- I take a lot more than one photo a week (okay MOST are with my iPhone, but whatever), so I think I can handle this.<br />
<br />
Well a particular photographer that I am fond of (<a href="http://myfourhensphotography.com/photographers/" target="_blank">My Four Hens Photography</a>- LOVE her actions!) is hosting a P52 over on <a href="http://www.flickr.com/groups/m4h/" target="_blank">flickr</a> and I'm joining in! The first week's prompt is Resolutions.<br />
<br />
One of my resolutions for 2012 is to achieve better balance between work, play, family time, me time, and design time. "Balance" also happens to be my chosen "One Little Word" for 2012, but more on that later...<br />
<br />
My original thought for this week's photo was to take a picture of my daughter looking like she's walking on a balance beam. Well.... our sidewalks have sloped curves, and getting my daughter to pose and cooperate with my artistic vision... uh yeah- not happening. In the end, this is the best shot I got and really it just looks like she's walking away, but use your imagination- she's balancing...see?<br />

The week is not over, and technically I could probably take another picture, but we are heading out tomorrow for a weekend Disneyland trip, so I doubt I'll have the opportunity to take another one.

I stayed digital and am still loving it! This week was actually tough to lay out because it was VERY photo intense! I ended up creating an 8.5x11 double spread to include in an extra page protector with just my Christmas morning photos.<br />

If you've been following me on <a href="http://facebook.com/amyjazdesigns" target="_blank">facebook</a> then you know I reached 100 fans and I'm due for a new freebie. I thought that there might be a lot of Christmas picture scrapping over the next few months, so I made the above Christmas morning spread available as a template and free download! To download, you need to "like" <a href="http://facebook.com/amyjazdesigns" target="_blank">Amy Jaz Designs</a> on facebook, and then click on the "Exclusive" tab to the left.<br />

Well I wanted to share some Instagram pics, and today is Tuesday, so.... there you have it. The magic is revealed. Will it become a weekly adventure? Who knows, let's fly by the seat of our pants, shall we? <br />
<br />
I seriously love Instagram. I catch all the moments I would normally miss because my camera isn't handy. I slap on a filter, and bam! I have some cute pics. <br />
<br />
Here are some good ones from the past week:<br />
