Hello hello!!!
So.... do you have a color you just don't scrapbook with much? Well for me, green is probably one of those colors. But for some reason today I was drawn to the green and teal combination because of this patterned paper I used in the top left pocket. I love how all the elements come together overall... lots of different shades of green and teal.
This layout just seemed perfect for the stash kit I had on deck!! I have a photo of my craft studio... and a 'crafty' sticker. I had a photo of Calen riding his bike... and a bike die cut. And a photo where I could use a clock.... with a clock sticker as well. Go figure! All of these are very specific embellishments which tend to hang out for a while sometimes... it just worked out perfectly today!!
Supply list for items I mentioned and used during the layout:
- Cutterpillar Crop paper trimmer: amzn.to/2GTWlkx
- White cardstock: amzn.to/2GYQACe
- Pentel RSVP fine point black pen: amzn.to/2XhhiLM
- Tombow Mono Multi Liquid Glue: amzn.to/2GUZkJg
- Glue runner: amzn.to/2NnNWHk
- CutterBee scissors: amzn.to/2XbKmnY
- EK Tools tweezers: amzn.to/2twDT9L
- PaperMate Flair medium pen in black: amzn.to/2ISvV51

![Project Life | Reed Gold Mine | Stash Supplies
Hello everyone!!
Im back at Project Life today! Now this may be a page from a few years ago, but never mind that little detail, ha!! These photos are from a day we spent at Reed Gold Mine here in NC. I remember going there on field trips when I was a kid and I wanted to make sure I took Calen there. Its a gold mine that is no longer active but you can explore the mines and the museum as well as have your hand at panning for gold. We found gold! The tiniest speck of gold, but it was gold all the same!
I love capturing moments like this day in my album. Im not sure if we will ever take Calen back to this particular gold mine, we will probably go other places, but its a place I loved as a kid so I wanted to make sure to share it with him. And maybe one day when he is looking through my albums hell remember it and want to take his kid or kids there for a day!
