I'm excited to share my very first Project Life scrapbook pages today! Let me start by saying that I've been a traditional 12 x 12 scrapbooker for quite some time. While I love to scrap, I take a long time to complete a page. Since I have a ton of photos, I like layouts that use several photos...so I think Project Life will be a nice change of pace. I plan to incorporate my Project Life pages along with my traditional pages.
After a recent trip to Universal Studios in Orlando I have a big stack of bright, fun photos to scrap...the Everyday Adventure Card Collection is perfect for these photos...
Here's a closer look at the 4 x 4 card I created using some Crushed Curry cardstock, the Honeycomb Embossing Folder and Hexagon punch. Until now I hadn't realized that the Simpson's skintone is such a good match to Crushed Curry!
I wanted to pull a little red into the layout since there was so much red in the photos. I even used a new Photopolymer stamp set...Endless Birthday Wishes to stamp my title..."awesome day". Here's the two pages together as they'll look in my album...
The Everyday Adventure Card Collection comes in a nice sturdy storage box with lid, made to sit on your desk...there is even extra little compartment to hold your journaling pens and space to store a few photos you may plan to use later. Here's a closer look at some of my favorite designs in the 3 x 4 cards. Notice that the ones that have writing on them come in both landscape & portrait format so they will fit a variety of layouts.
Here are some of the 4 x 4 cards...
and a few of the 4 x 6 cards...
Normally it would take me quite a bit longer than a few hours to finish 3 pages...and I wouldn't have been able to use so many photos either, so I think I'm really going to like the Project Life way of scrapbooking!
Enjoy the long Memorial Day weekend...but don't forget to remember those who gave their life for our freedom.
