Project Life Feature - January

Hey everyone!  Welcome to our first Project Life spread of the year!  We are excited to be bringing you this feature a few times through out the year to inspire you on your own Project life spreads!  Let's check out what the Design Team has to share this week.

Practical Scrapper Nicole Laha documents January 8-14 in this spread. The Project Life Kits from Studio Calico have coordinating journaling cards and embellishments which make it easy to pull together a spread. 

Practical Scrapper Charissa documented her week 2 of 2014 using her January Studio Calico Project Life kit.  Having a kit or core kit makes it really easy to ensure that everything coordinates!  She also included two different confetti pockets on this spread for a little bit of fun.

Practical Scrapper Wendi Robinson is working on her PL 2012 album, and getting caught up. She used vellum on a couple of the pocket areas for a fun touch.

Practical Scrapper Jennifer Haggerty documented this Fall 2012 week using Teresa Collins Designs' Family  Stories collection. (Jennifer is way behind on her pages!)

 Practical Scrapper Kristy MacKeen documented Week 2 of 2014 using lots and lots of October Afternoon rub-on snowflakes.  Her kids had 5 snow days in a row, so snow played a major theme in her work for this week.  She used cards from Studio Calico, We R Memory Keepers and Becky Higgins Project Life.

We hope that these spreads inspire you for your next Project Life page!  As you can see there are lots of ways to do your Project Life and it is even a great project to go back and do for older photos!

***Project Life is a system of memory keeping created by Becky Higgins.  You can learn more about it on her blog.***

31: Halloween Mini Album

Hello everyone! It's Jennifer here and I'm happy to be sharing a fun mini I created for Halloween (one of my favorite holidays!)  I used Teresa Collins Designs' new Masquerade collection and a
Maya Road House chipboard album.  I sprayed my chipboard with Black Shimmer Maya Road Mist and then started embellishing! 

 

 

 I placed patterned paper squares behind the "windows"...I love the grey/white stripes. It's one of my favorites of the collection!

 

 

Love the clear sequins and fun enamel dots that coordinate with this line!

Here, I made a journaling tag to hide behind my photo! I added some

fun gold glitter American Crafts tape to give it some bling!  

 

 

For this page, I made a folder with one of the patterned papers to hide my photo and some embellishments. 

 

 

 

Here is one of the fun die cuts from Masquerade!  I popped it up with some foam tape at the bottom corner of my photos. 

 

I created another page with a folder using some more of the patterned paper and washi tape. I added a cute chipboard candelabra too!

 

 

 

Thanks for checking out my mini album!  Hope this inspires you do to some Halloween crafting of your own!
