Project Life Cards: Square vs Round Corners

Project Life 6:00 AM

I have a metric shit ton of old Studio Calico Project Life cards. You know, the rounded corner ones. They've been sitting in a plastic bin in the bottom of a dusty old box FOREVER. I don't use cards with rounded corners anymore but didn't want to just throw away the old cards.

About a month ago I was going through stuff and decided to hack off the corners and use some of my paper stash to make new cards. Because, why not?

Seriously, why didn't I think of this earlier? So many awesome cards that I haven't been using. Haaaaaay.

And as you can see, they turned out pretty well. I just used some runner tape to adhere the cards to the paper.

Now I just have to finish the rest of them! All several hundred :)

I had such a fun time making my Fall bucket list that I decided to go ahead and make one for December as well. The holidays are always super busy for us so I'm hoping to get at least a few things checked off my list. What are you looking forward to? Any special holiday traditions?

Week In The Life 2017 | Sunday

Day Zero Project 6:00 AM

09:37 // Got to sleep in a little bit today. Photographing and listing items in the shop before starting the day and waiting for the coffee to brew.

10:02 // This thing. Hasn't bloomed in two and a half years. Last week, started getting buds. Guess they do what they want.

12:58 // Late breakfast stop at Dunks. Hate to say it but their caramel macchiatos aren't that bad. Everything bagel with extra cream cheese. Yes, please.
