Project Life Week 1

Well hello,

Today I am sharing the first week of my Project Life. As I said earlier I purchased the digi kit. I also found a ton of free printables on Pinterst. Love that place.

I will do my best to link them up below:



I used a great tutorial by Cathy Zielske on how to make the rounded corner outline frame on photos, you can find it here at the end of the video...which by the way is phenomenal. Watch the whole thing! :) Rounded corners? why yes!

Here is the photo that i used the tutorial on:


These little "noted" tags are awesome. I think you will see these on just about every page. Love them. They are a free downoload from A Vegas Girl At Heart. You can go HERE to see all her Freebies. Please leave her some love! :)


Lastly, I used Colorbox Frost white ink to stamp on the picture on the right. It dried in seconds. I was shocked. for the "Just Chillin'" I wrote on it with a Gelly roll pen that I picked up at Michael's. I LOVE this white pen. Best one I have ever bought and I have purchased every single one on the market.


The AWESOME comes from Technique Tuesday.

Have an incredible day!

HUGS!

Project Life (title page)

Well I did it. I jumped on the Project Life wagon too this year.

I miss scrapbooking. I love to scrapbook, the problem is...I am a very SLOW scrapbooker. It's time consuming and I have enough issues with choosing paper and embellishments and now that I like to add stamping to my layouts it takes me even longer. I felt as if I was letting my family and myself down by not recording our lives. I will never be caught up but I feel that Project Life is a way for me to get the words into my albums that I want and record our life as we live it. I scrapbook to tell my kids stories or offer advice or to let them know what I am feeling. Scrapbooking for me has always been about the journaling. I start with what I want to say before I ever put a page sketch together. Project Life is the perfect solution for that.

If you aren't familiar with Project Life you can go to Becky Higgins site. There is a video and kits and a whole bunch of inspiration.

You can also Google "Project Life" and be put on information overload.

I am hoping to stay on top of it all year. Here is my title page) ):


 When I started the Seafoam kit wasn't available. I purchased the digi kit of it instead and I am so happy I did!  My hand was still in a cast and stamping or writing at that point was impossible.  I was able to journal on the cards in Photoshop and then just print them out. I love the option of having the digi kit. It's faster for me to type everything out and then just tuck it in the pockets.  For this page I used my Silhouette to cut the 2013, "this is real life" & "our everyday family moments". I created the "love is" card in photoshop. I used a digi patterned paper from Mel Stampz. It worked perfectly with the Seafoam kit.

Thanks for looking. I will be back tomorrow with week 1. I did some stamping in that one.

Have a great day and stay warm...it's FREEZING here! brrrrrrr....
