Make It Meaningful + Free Template

Make It Meaningful is on sale right now in the shop. And I'm even giving away a free and fun template!

I have to say my favorite part of this collection is the journal cards, I think I'll be using these heaps.

Here's the rest of what's inside -



Some inspiration from me -
See the lemon on the plate, thats what inspired this kit... well the colours anyway.

Another page, I used text from a blog post done here before the trip

Together it looks like this -

I got the polaroid frames idea from the Studio Calico blog post here - http://studiocalico.typepad.com/studio_calico/2012/06/weekly-challenge.html  So I think it's fair I share my template with everyone.  I think I'll be using this a lot through out my album, really easy to get lots of photos on one page.
You can download the Make It Meaningful Template for free by clicking here. Do post links if you end up using this - Would love to see how others use it.

Our Bedroom

Hello all. I thought I'd start sharing the inside of the place we are renting right now, starting with my room. It's such a treat having all the wall colours neutral, which was one of the things I really worried about when searching for a rental. I would find it a challenge decorating with maroon, bright blue or kaki coloured walls, let alone living with it everyday - I saw enough of those while searching.

It's been over 5 months now in this place and it feels good. Only issue I have right now is the landlords sheep, they've been let out for winter and for grazing all over the place & around our house. I like the sheep, but it's what they leave behind that makes me feel uncomfortable. The kids can't really play outside now because of this, and I have to go through a maze if I want to walk to the car. Anyway... ewwww, how did I get onto this subject! Hubby will talk to the landlords tonight & hopefully something will be done like fencing.

So my room, here you will hardly see any Teal. I wanted to go for a more natural look, with browns, greys and whites.

A future project I have in mind is to cover the headboard with a nicer fabric, at the moment I am hiding the faded and stained cream board with a white sheet, what else can you do when you have limited funds huh?!

I've filled my DIY jewellery organizer more since the last time you saw it!
