A Little Project......












I started this over the summer at a crop @ an LSS, but just now decided I should finish it, and even bring it to work tomorrow. Thinking it will co-exist on my desk with all the other explosions..... :)
Used a K & CO flip book (scored @ BL), Creative Cafe felt/pp, and Fancy Pants PP. Embossed with the good old Cuttlebug on the cover and inked.

This is the meat and potatoes of my Project 365.........

This is Jan. 1-4 in the baseball card page protectors, I am aiming to blog about the daily happening here, and play catch up every couple of days. Right now I don't actually have ANY pictures right now (only memorabilia), and I am ok with that!



Project 365......Hopping On Board

Well, here goes nothing! I elected not to order the kit from CK (sold out/didn't win it), so I decided to use SB stuff I already have (shocked, I know).

Supplies:
-1 3 ring 12 by 12 album (MM bought @ Target for $3.74 on clearance)
-1 pack of baseball card page protectors @ Wal-Mart $4)
-PP I already have

So for under eight bucks, here we go!
