Project Life | Mood Board Tutorial..

Hello Project Life Friends! It's Leanne here today and I am sharing three fun PL filler cards created with the Sassy Scrapper May mood board in mind!    

 

Let's get started!

 

The first card is a 4x6 pocket filler card. It is created from the gorgeous Craft Market Stitching Paper, stickers and a few pieces of Poolside ephemera.

 

 

step 1. Trim the Crate Paper Craft Market paper to 4"x6".

step 2. Trim the arrow border from the Amy Tangerine Rise & Shine Lana paper and shorten the length to 6".

step 3. Adhere the arrow border strip to the lower edge of the 4x6 paper.

step 4. Using the gold glitter letters "S, U, N" from the Poolside ephemera pack, position above the arrow border to the left of the card.

step 5. Complete the word "Sunday" using the Twilight Poolside thickers.

step 6. Embellish the card with a banner sticker, speech bubble "hello" sticker and the pink & gold glitter ice-cream from the Poolside ephemera pack.

The second  and third cards have been inspired by the white to navy ombre cake on the Moodboard. These 3x4 filler cards are even easier to make than the 4x6 card!

 

step 1. Trim the Pink Paislee Atlas Latitude paper to 3x4.  Trim the patterned paper on the diagonal starting at bottom left corner to top right.

step 2. Trim the "explore" 3x4 cut apart from the Pink Paislee Take Flight patterned paper. This card will form the base for your filler card.

 

 

step 3. Adhere the navy triangle of paper to the base card.

step 4. Trim the gold foil border strip from the Dear Lizzy Fine & Dandy Specialty paper to 3". Adhere to the lower edge of the filler card, covering the word "explore".

step 5. Using a tag shaped sticker, adhere to the right side of the filler card.

step 6. Finish by embellishing the card with a flower die cut from the ephemera pack, Simple Stories enamel dots and adding the weekly title with the Twilight thickers.

step 3. Add the paper strips to the filler card, trimming edges where necessary.

step 4. Also add the navy "pool lockers" die cut from the ephemera pack at the bottom.

Project Life | Week 14...

Hello Sassy Friends!  Welcome to Project Life Monday! Today I am sharing Week 14 | April 6 - 12.  The first week of our Easter school holiday's in Queensland and the week we decided to climb a mountain!  

  This week we had an awesome adventure.  Everything else was kind of mediocre but other than mention the main points of our daily grind in my journaling, my focus for this spread was all about the climb.

 

Mixing and matching, I've been playing with the gorgeous Crate Paper Poolside collection, Pink Paislee Atlas patterned paper, Elle's Studio alphas and Amy Tangerine Rise & Shine. Added to the mix are some Chic Tags wood veneer, Bella Blvd stickers and a lovely sheet of vellum.

 

 

Taking the vellum and trimming it and the Pink Paislee Altitude patterned paper to 3"x4", I've stitched them together to create a pocket for hidden journaling.

 



The pocket can then be embellished to suit your spread.

 

Another fun form of photo documentation when we go on bush walks such as this, is to include a landscape photo of our group in front of the landmark sign. It is an easy way to include extra details on your page, especially when it is a photo heavy spread.

 

 

Adding ephemera to pockets can help break up the monotony of too many photos.  I wanted to have a light hearted feel to this pocket with arrows pointing in many directions. It provides a subtle sense of adventure as well as serving the purpose of documenting my weekly title.

 

 

I used the wood veneers to link back to the outdoor/woodgrain style of the Elle's Studio alphas. The veneers also add a touch of dimension to the page without the extra bulk in the pockets.

 

 

On page two, journaling our adventure became priority. To me, there's no point in having lots of photos if the story isn't there to explain what happened! *grin*

 

 

I've kept it simple and to the point.  Next on the agenda were the pockets for my filler cards.

 

 

These spaces were also required to be simple. Colour coordination and premade/designed 3"x4" cards made this an easy task!

 

 

Finishing touches included Simple Stories I Am cardstock stickers, placed directly onto the photos.

 

 

Thanks for joining me here today.  I hope I have shared how easy it is to mix and match your supplies to create cohesive results...x
