Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets: Chapter Title Cards
As I’ve said before in my 20 Things About Me post, I’m a big Harry Potter fan. I started reading when the 4th book hit the stores and have been hooked ever since. With the launch of each of the remaining books, I would prepare by re-reading from the beginning up until that point. And with the release of each film, I would re-read from the beginning up until the book being adapted and released that year. And then, sometimes, I’d just get myself sucked in all over again.
I recently re-read the entire series, so I decided to continue my brush lettering adventures by lettering out the chapter titles.
I’ve made the titles into 3×4 cards that you can use in your scrapbooks or art journals. To download: Just click on the image below, enter your email address, and for the price, enter “0” or a small donation.

Pen Collection: Pink
I have an obsession with office supplies and I’m a bit of a pen hoarder. One thing that I enjoy doing is swatching out my writing utensils to see how the colors compare between brands.
The Test: Each pen is used on white notebook paper and a yellow legal pad. You can click on the image below for a larger view.
The Pens: (links are affiliate) Paper Mate InkJoy 100
The Conclusion: Pinks can be hit or miss sometimes. Sometimes they’re light and sometimes they’re dark. My favorite of the ballpoints are the Papermate Profile Elite and the Bic Cristal Bold (I sure do love a bold line). The Pilot Acroball and the Bic Round Stic were the palest of the pinks. The Pentel Energel, Zebra NR7, and the two Papermate Flairs provided the darkest and boldest color.
Photo Series Idea: Look at your Shadow
Usually in my set of vacation photos, I end up with a picture of my shadow. This can be a neat way to capture yourself when you’re taking photos with a ton of sunlight out.
My collection of shadow photos is sometimes solo, but most of the time, I get my husband to play along too.
Do you ever take any shadow photos? Have you amassed yourself a huge collection?

Valentine’s Day Scrapbooking Kit
Pink is the theme around these parts this month. For a cynical gal like me, I’m actually rather fond of Valentine’s Day. My husband and I actually call it “trifecta weekend”, which includes Valentine’s Day, my birthday, and the anniversary of when we started dating. We celebrate in our own way, which usually means some delayed date (to avoid the crowds, of course).
I designed some brush lettered word art and some digital scrapbooking supplies to get you guys through the process of documenting your undying love of pink.

Here are the products in action with some photos from my totally unfinished 2013 album (one page down!).
Digital Project Life Layouts: April 2014
Project Life is my preferred method of scrapbooking and I’m hoping to provide you with some useful tips for either documenting your own lives or putting together your own pages with minimal fuss.
Here’s what I’m going to emphasize with the layouts I share:
- The random stuff I like to capture and document for myself.
- The simple approach to Project Life that I take. There are a lot of photos and very little embellishment and journaling.
- The way I organize some spreads into themes or stories.
You can click on each image below for a slightly larger view.
Capture Idea: I bought some new pointed pen nibs for my new hobby, so I snapped a picture of them.
Capture Idea: Try to get a picture of some of the books that you’re reading. I absolutely loved reading The Happiness Project
Story Idea: A few awesome ladies on Instagram started this project in April, so these were all my various cups photos for the month. I thought it looked pretty cool put together in a single spread.

Pinboard: Valentine’s Day Cards
After all the years that my husband and I have been together, sometimes looking through the drugstore for a Valentine’s Day card can be a little problematic. For one, we don’t usually pick the mushy and poetic cards. We generally lean more towards to humorous/fun cards. Secondly, over the years, the selection starts looking the same and it’s hard to find something that the other person hasn’t seen before.
And that’s where independent artists come in. There are a lot of talented folks around the web making and selling awesome cards you don’t typically find at your local drugstore card aisle. I’ve been collecting some pretty awesome cards from online retailers and pinning them on my Pinterest board.
