Now, on to the latest Project Life Challege!!!

There are so many ways to incorporate this challenge in to your Project Life spread or if you're like me and were a bit shy on the photos for the week, it gave me a great jumping off point to fill my pockets ;)).

One of my favourite techniques is heat embossing and so I pulled out a couple of stamps and embossing ink and powder to add metallic gold to this spread. I stamped 'hello life' and 'the facts', both Ali Edwards stamps for Technique Tuesday and gold heat embossed. The 4x6 sheet with 'the facts' embossed is a snippet of one of my "to-do" lists.

Here's a close up of the 'hello life' card which is a 3x4 Project Life blank card that I stamped with embossing ink then covered with gold detailed embossing powder and heat set.

The top and bottom right pockets contain cuts from WRMK Metallic Sheets. The top left card was cut from Studio Calico "All that Glitters" paper. The numbers are Thicker Chit Chat glitter letter stickers, small alphas/numbers are Teresa Collins Basically Essential Alpha Stickers.

That's my PL layout for this challenge, I hope you'll join myself and the entire SOUS Project Life Design Team in this challenge! I'm looking forward to reading your comments and feel free to ask any questions regarding my process or layout as well!!

Project Life>>Catching Up

It's been quite awhile since my last post. I've been enjoying the summer with my family :)

We wrapped up the baseball season a couple of weeks ago with my boys' team winning the provincial championship for their division. One of the boy's attended a "Mobile App Developing" camp at SAIT last week and we just wrapped up a weekend sleepover at our home with a cousin.

So it's time to "catch up" on Project Life, sort of ;)) (I have a couple of weeks to finish and another couple of weeks to print to completely catch up).

Thanks for stopping by and taking a look!

Happy 2013!!

Wishing everyone a very Happy New Year, thanks for visiting here in 2012 :)

For the first post of 2013 I have this layout using the Crate Paper StoryTeller collection.

The quote is created using letter stamps, clear stamps, word stickers, alphas and one fussy cut "y".
I found the quote on Pinterest but now I can't find it to link it here, it's Alex's Lemonade Stand.

Thanks for taking a look!

December Daily-Day Two

I added the joy sticker to the photo and stamped the hello December stamp (stamp is from Studio Calido kit) on the die cut. It was a little tough to see, I should have embossed it instead, so I outlined it to make it stand out some.
Super simple and finished in 10 minutes :))
