Keeping it Real

Hello, it's Lisa here today with another Project Life page.
I'm keeping it real with this one.
Nothing fancy, just life.
Afterall, that's what this project is all about.

 

I've kept to the one colour scheme for this week.

Red, green and white.

 

 

I used up some of my Project Life cards backing them on to some Bazzill scraps.

Then finishing off with a little touch of black journal pen.

 

 

I always think that these Project Life pages are perfect for using up bits and pieces.

This set of Amy Tangerine Thickers matched perfectly.

So I've used these throughout the page.

 

It didn't take hours, but the page looks effective and I'm keeping up to date.

 

How are your pages coming along?

OCTOBER CROPPING

Tomorrow is our monthly crop at Otley Village Hall and this month's kit has been designed by Lou, so be prepared for some misting and inking!

She has used Kaisercraft papers and some of the new Sizzix dies that we have instore to create this gorgeous page!  If you fancy joining us, we're at the hall from 10am until 5pm.  Tea and coffee are on tap and there's a 10% discount in the shop.

another way with prima dolls

Hi its Carol with you today showing you my latest prima doll creation:-

The stamps are too big for the normal sizes of card blanks so the only way is to create your own...the original set of dolls came on a tag base so using this as a template I made my own card base...

I then coloured the base using acryllic paint and then using a contrasting colour stencilled over the top..

Washi tape was added to the sides and then a wax pencil ran over the top to add colour..... the doll image was stamped and then coloured using watercolouring pencils - the image was then stamped again then paper pierced....the flowers are prima flowers which were sprayed with dylusion inks...with prima bling added to the middles and prima swirls added at each end.... doodling was added around the edges..

One problem with these large cards - envelopes! make your own or wrap with pretty tissue paper and ribbon or lace...

Project Life

How are you going with your Project Life folders?
Are you one of those that always keeps up to date?
I'm not I'm afraid, but I knew when I started this, that for me to keep it up I would need to take a very laid back approach. No weeks numbers for me, I just scrap my pages as I want to.
I have a few weeks missing, but hey! It's no big deal in the whole scheme of things.

Here is a page that I made for the beginning of September.

 

I've gone with a teal, red and orange theme for this week. I do like to try and stick to a rough 3 colour combo. I find this way everything ties in nicely.

 

I've used some Project Life Cards which you can find on the site here.

I love using these. There's no preparation or cutting required. So quick and easy.

I did round off the corners with a corner punch though.

 

I love to add bits and pieces to my pages, like these little wooden embellishments here.

Either use them as they are or add some colours using inks, pens, paints or/and glitter.

 

 



 I'm also a big fan of using up scraps on my Project Life pages.

 

I have a few 12x12 sticker sheets from various Echo Park Collections like this one here.

 

 

I've used quite a few of the stickers but still have some leftover. These are perfect to add to your Project Life pages.

I love all the alpha stickers that come with them. They are so handy.

 

I do hope you are enjoying Project Life. It's so fun to look back on the album : )

If you haven't spotted it, we do have a dedicated section on the online shop now for Project Life full of cards, page protectors and albums here.  

 

Happy Scrapping.

September Kit...

Hi all,

 

Its Anna here with you today to show you the first layout that I have made using the September kit. You can see the contents of the kit or purchase one here.

 

I really liked the sheet of perforated die-cuts so I decided to use them as the base for this layout. I chose 3 that I wanted to keep showing the wording and covered 3 using show old photographs of my brother and I when we were younger.

 

I added some MME sticjers, twine and a petaloo flower to finish.

 

A simple but hopefully effective way of using the kit to document some pictures of my childhood.

 

I'll be back soon with another layout using Septembers kit.
