This post may contain compensated links. Please read my disclaimer for more information. If I was asked why scrapbook and why is it such a popular hobby, I could give numerous reasons. But before we get into the reasons to scrapbook, let’s first find out what’s a scrapbook and what exactly is scrapbooking? What is …
So I may have gone back to Spotlight and bought the Maggie Holmes Open House Project Life core kit for $10 as well. Who wouldn’t?! So now I have even more cards to use up. Ok, so I only used three cards this time too, but I used a super old Kaisercraft rubon, so that …
Here’s the second page of my project life spread featuring Kate’s birthday. I still can’t believe my tiny little baby is 13 years old. It makes me feel old. And what do we have here? That’s right! Another video! The birthday printables are here if you’d like them: LINK.
It’s been some time since I have ventured back to my project life album. And well, this page may be from March… but hey, it’s done now and that’s all that matters. And I may have even made a little process video to go with it.
I was really stumped with this layout as there was just so much red! Although, what did I expect, it was the Museum of Fire?! In the end, I just started sticking stuff down, although looking at it now, it seems a little boring. But as far as I’m concerned, done is better than perfect. …
I was super excited when Ruth from Polly Scraps (Scrappy Canary) asked if I would like to be a guest designer! Yes, please!!! I was sent the April Showers Pocket Life kit. The colours were gorgeous and I had so much fun creating from this kit! I had already started my March title when I …
Yep, another round of printables! Funny how when I created my first lot I thought I wouldn’t make another set. And here I am with my fourth set. Click here for the jpeg download file. Click here for the png file. Enjoy!
A new page for my Project Life album. This is the first page for February. Yep, that stack of books is what we read in January. We’re crazy readers! Amy is even into Diary of a Whimpy Kid. I think I’m getting a little too happy making these videos: In the end, that stamped …
I was up to creating Luke’s birthday project life layout and I realised I didn’t have many birthday cards in my stash. So what’s a girl to do except create her own?! Yes, I will admit, I love a yellow/teal/red colour combination. These cards are designed for 8.5″ x 11″ printing. You can download them …
So, I’ve been scrapbooking for about 12 years. When I first started I would rush out and buy the newest Creating Keepsakes magazine every month. I loved that magazine. Becky Higgins would do her monthly sketch and I always marveled at how easy she made scrapbooking look. I remember hearing about Project Life in 2007. …
This year I decided to tackle Project monthly, instead of weekly. In saying that, I still feel as though I’m doing it weekly, just without the weekly title cards. So back here I shared my front page. It’s been quite some time since I did that page (and I haven’t kept to any of those …
So I printed the last lot of tabs off and I look at the sheet and I thought they were pretty ordinary. And then I cut them out. That changed my mind completely. They became something that I actually wanted to use. And use I did! So much so, that I decided I needed more! …
I’ve been thinking for a while about making my own little tabs and tags to print and cut out to use in my Project Life album. I’m not going to lie, this took ages to create. But what I’m happy about is I am much more proficient in Photoshop now. I still have a heap …
I am also tackling Project Life again this year, even though I haven’t quite finished for 2013. Even so, I love my album from last year. Even my sister liked the concept (trust me, that’s saying something!) I learned a few things that I will incorporate this year: Record keeping is key! I didn’t keep …
Another week, another Project Life spread. You know, I love nothing more than flicking back through my album, remembering the things we have done so far this year. I’m so glad I started this project. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve had moments where I thought I would never catch up and I’ll be behind for …
Another double page spread! But we did heaps this week! I guess a four day weekend will do that! The thing I struggle most with when creating Project Life is the ‘week’ card. Until I happened to come across this stamp I bought years ago. The dot circle one around the number seventeen. Now, it’s …
Just a single page spread this week. We got out and about a couple of times this week, just to get out of the house! And well, it’s all pretty self explanatory.
Week 16 was a pretty quiet week, but somehow I managed to create a double spread with inserts. The insert consist of a booklet Amy did at school. It’s really sweet. The other side of the A4 sleeve is a story Luke typed on the typewriter. I also included a 12×12 sleeve with a painted …
And here is a snapshot of our life from Week 14.
That’s right, no sign of Week 12. Not really sure what happened there, but it seems that sometimes I just don’t take any photos. Week 11: Week 13: There’s two pages of 4 pocket 6×6’s here. But you know, I didn’t photograph them either. I’ll be back with some more…
