Project Life: Week 13

Hello and Happy Monday to you! Hope you had a great weekend. I was reasonably productive in my studio this weekend. I finished Project Life Week 13 - yes, I finally caught up!! I also finished a mixed media tag which I will share as soon as I can take some better photos. For PL Week 13 I used the Sunshine Edition Core Kit for the first time! I love how bright this collection is. I used page Design F. Here's the whole page ...

 

 

I used Heidi Swapp's Glitter Stickers for the title card and as accents on a few of the 3x4 cards ...

 

 

I used the Collect App again to print my pics. I'm kinda hooked on this app. Here are close-ups of the cards. I'm still keeping it simple (that should have been my word for the year) by adding only a few embellishments ... below is a peek at my mixed media tag in progress ...

 

 

 

 

When it stops raining I will photograph my new mixed media tag and share that with you. I loved the process so much I'm working on another one. I'm glad you stopped by and I'd love to hear from you. Have a great week!

Project Life: Week 7

OK, as I type this, it's snowing AGAIN! Enough - P L E A S E!! Yes, it's New England ... I know!!

Anyway, onto more fun topics, like Project Life. I have to say that I'm surprised I'm enjoying this as much as I am. I started PL in August 2013 and continue to enjoy the process. This year I wanted to keep it simple and try different techniques. I love learning about new iphone apps that make the process so easy! I joined the confetti pocket craze and incorporated one on a card. For this week I started using papers leftover from my Valentine's Doll Tag and changed over to the Sunshine Core Kit! The pink, black and grey looked great with my silly Valentine's pictures. I used photo pocket page Design G. Here's the whole page ...

 

 

My photos are "sweet" aren't they ?!?! I love all the Valentine's displays! I am especially fond of the food displays, as you can see. I have such a sweet tooth!  Here's a close-up of my title card ...

 

 

I love my Amy Tangerine calendar stamp - it's perfect for Project Life. I am diving into my acrylic stamp stash and especially the adorable stamp sets that come with the

Noel Mignon monthly kits!

 

 

I love making confetti pockets for my PL pages. It's fun to add sequins, wood veneer shapes, and other stuff from your stash to create an interactive element. I was in a sewing mood so I created some individual pockets from a photo pocket page to have on hand. For this pocket I added different sequins, and confetti hearts I made from patterned papers and the Martha Stewart Craft Punch Heart Confetti. I bought the punch at Michael's with a coupon. Once filled, I stitched the top of the pocket and then stitched the pocket to my PL card ...

 

 

So that's Week 7! So glad you stopped by and I'd love to hear from you! Have a great week and I'll see ya soon!!
