Project Life Week 2


Hello, hello.  Moving right along with Project Life, I have week 2 to share with you here today.  I am having so. much. FUN with PL!  What was I thinking all these past years not doing it?  If you're taking part, I'd love to see what you're working on so be sure to link me up in the comments section.

Ok, so here's week 2 in video form-




and here is the week 2 spread in photos-


Next up is a layout.  I'm happy to say that in no way is PL interfering with my ability to create regular scrapbook pages.  I like the idea of doing both because I can highlight specific memories on a grander scale when I dedicate an entire layout to them and at the same time, PL allows me to capture so much more than if I were trying to get everything into 12x12 scrapbook pages- would never happen.


Liam's 5th Birthday page was very fun to create.  I used a lot of Simple Stories here.  The edges are sewn together with the exception of the angle.  I used this area to create a pocket of sorts to hold a little glassine bag used for some hidden journaling.


The flair is from October Afternoon and the Good Life sticker from Jillibean.  The glassine bag is held snuggly in place with a Tim Holtz clip.  Here is what the bag looks like when pulled out-



and, here's the little birthday guy himself, mounted on a misted background created with a mask and Tim Holtz color wash in stream.

Phew, long post today.  Thanks for hanging in there with me!  Don't forget to link me up if you're working on PL and enjoy your day!

Project Life Week 1

 Hello!  I could not be more thrilled about finally giving Project Life a go... what in the world have I been waiting for??



I just adore everything about it.  I will certainly continue to create larger layouts for special memories or events that I want to record in that way, but this relieves the pressure that I put on myself, or the guilt, when I don't get all of the pictures I want into layouts.

Anyway, I know it's easy to be very enthusiastic about something in the beginning and that it can sort of dwindle as time goes on, so I'm planning to share a new spread once a week here, mostly through video, to keep that motivation going.  It'll give me a kick in the pants when needed!

So here's week one, a brief overview of my newly formulated process, title page, and week 1 spread.  Hope you enjoy!
