JAI #326: Just Add Project Life

Hi!


I hope you've had a fabulous week - I certainly did! I celebrated a birthday earlier in the week and was very spoiled! But enough about me - it's time for the new Just Add Ink challenge!

This week Rochelle has challenged us to Just Add Project Life. I do a lot of PLing, so creating a page sounded like fun. Strangely though, when I sat down to create I actually made a card!

The cute little 2 inch card came from the Hello Lovely PL Accessory Pack. I'm often a bit stumped on how to use the cards, but this pre-cut card was just screaming 'Shaker Card!', so I went with the flow! The Soft Sky sequins are also from the same pack.

It is really, really hard to see in the photos, but I also stamped the dandelion type stamp from the accessory pack on the front of the card - just a sprinkle of them from top left to bottom right. If you look closely you may be able to see one just below the shaker part of the card. They look gorgeous in real life.

The dandelions might be easier to see in the inside of the card - this time some in the top right and bottom left.


Project Life is so versatile - as you can see it's not just for scrapping. What will you create? Link your projects over at the Just Add Ink blog for us all to see!


Bye for now,

Hi!


Welcome to another Memory Keeping with Project Life by Stampin' Up! Blog Share!

This month we are all using the brand spanking new Hello Lovely Collection for our layouts. Have you checked out the new PLxSU Collections in the Catalogue yet? I certainly have, and I'm loving them all!

I have scrapped a very recent event for my family, in fact it happened last Friday. Nothing like scrapping while the memory is still fresh.

My daughter, Ada, and her best friend, Hannah, are a bit obsessed by 'Matilda' lately. Unbeknown to them, Hannah's mum, Rachael and I organised a girl's weekend to Melbourne with them to see the musical production. We did it about 2 weeks ago, and have been bursting to tell them ever since. We finally sat them down in a café and gave them a little flip book I'd made, and got them to read it out loud. I love that in the photos on this page the girls bend closer over the page as they go, and as their excitement levels increased.

The second page shows the news really sinking in. They were so happy, but kept asking if it was really true. Ada was especially excited as she's never been on a plane before. Now we just have to wait the 6 weeks or so for the trip!

I really liked this 2 inch card, as it really sums up what the girls have been thinking lately - they wished they could see the musical, and now their wishes have come true. I matted it in Basic Black to really make it pop. There are lots of cards that use Basic Black in this collection, and it adds that little bit of boldness or drama to a page.

I used a new stamp set, Labeler Alphabet on the main journaling card, but also on each photo. The number on the card refers to the number on the photo, and the journaling describes what the girls were doing/saying/thinking in each photo. It's a neat way to guide the reader through the layout, especially as each of the photos is pretty much the same.
