Back to Project Life.

No one likes a procrastinator right? Well I think I'm the biggest procrastinator of them all. Last year I boasted of keeping up to date with my Project Life pages but then real life got in the way and I just sort of let it slip. I gave myself deadlines to finish it up to the end of the year but these came and went and since January I've not looked at it.....once!

Well, this weekend I've put that right.

I feel so much better now for completing another week and hopefully it'll kick start me into getting it finished.

I turned to Basic Grey "Spice Market" papers to cut my own cards and an Echo Park Designer die called Thought Bubble and Hello . 

I also made use of some beautiful washi tape from MME  in teal and the stickers are mostly from Simple Stories Daily Grind.

Here I've used the negative from cutting the Hello on the title card.  I'd also completely forgotten I'd got Enamel Accents by Ranger which I used to create my own little dots on some of the cards.

I'm so happy I've got back into this project and I really hope I can keep going now to finish it off.

Project life week 29

I'm starting to catch up with my Project Life pages from the summer and here's week 29.

Once again I've used the Echo Park Capture Life collection to make my journaling cards.

I also used some gorgeous washi tape from My Minds Eye which is so sparkly and shiny it's beautiful.

I used some of the stickers from the same Echo Park collection cutting them up and changing them to how I wanted them to look.

Just look at the sparkle on that tape.

Have a good weekend.

More Project Life.

I thought today I'd show you a couple of my Project Life pages using the Echo Park Capture Life collection.  I'm loving this collection at the moment and the sheet of cards and stickers makes everything so simple and quick to do.

 The only extra's I've added in are a few words with a Dymo labeler and a couple of my own arrows cut from foam the rest is purely the kit.

Project Life week 22

I'm becoming quite obsessive about my Project Life and I'm able to say I'm only a couple of weeks behind at the moment.

Here's week 22;

Instead of using ready made cards I chose this time to use a sheet of cards to cut out by Echo Park called Capture Life.  This is a superb collection of full sheets plus these journaling card sheets. They can be bought individually too so at under £1 per sheet it's an affordable way to create a weeks layout.

I also used the die to cut the view finder which is also from Echo Park and matches the collection perfectly.

Project Life week 10

I'm sharing my week 10 page with you today because I've used Simple Stories Daily Grind to make it. As soon as I saw this collection pack I knew I'd love it and I wasn't disappointed. It's jam packed full of colourful 12 x 12 papers, two sheets of journaling cards, a sticker sheet and just about everything you'll need for your project life.

The pack has a bonus pack of 6 transparency sheets of 4 x 6 which are so cute. I couldn't believe my luck when this one went perfectly over a postcard I was keeping to slip into my pocket.

Hope I've inspired you.

A journey into Project Life.

Although I'm not totally new to Project Life, last year I stuck to my guns and created my own version in an A4 style. This year I've decided to keep a regular 12 x 12 format album which gives me loads more surface to play with. I still want to make it my own style and will be making my own journaling cards which I've done here. 

This is my title page.

I've used the Finnley collection by Glitz Design for my cards cutting them into pocket size pieces. 

I used the stickers from the same collection and Glitz washi tape which co-ordinates perfectly with the collection.

I finished off my cards by rounding the corners and adding some doodled borders with a black Sakura Micron pen. 

I've also used a Prima veneer piece from the Wood Icons collection, this one is actually left over from the Christmas box.

I hope to be able to show and tell more of my Project Life pages in the future. 

Happy New 2014

Project Life

Contrary to my messy painty art journal pages I've also taken up Project Life. It's a nice contrast to the paint, spray, stencil side of me and even though I love all that stuff I still have to have some order in my life.  

I took it up because I'll be the first to admit I'm not really a conventional 12 x 12 scrapper but love to keep ephemera, tickets and use small photo's of day to day life.  Still not one to conform (my usual excuse) I keep an A4 folder for my pages and prefer to cut, stick and re-size to arrange my pages than stick in pockets.

Here I share a page using a sheet of Jenni Bowlin Modern Mercantile paper which is just asking to be cut up for PL.

This is my finished page.

I like to cut up and paste cards together taking parts from one and sticking them onto another. 

I'll just fill in gaps too with cut down cards (sometimes die cut) and I've used this gorgeous tissue tape also by Jenni Bowlin lots. 

Do you Project Life? Let me know if you do. 

Have a good week
