project life tip | using the project life app as a template

If you happen to be using a pocket page that is in the project life app then they make the BEST template if you use photos from your phone.  I did notice when I was using the 9x12 pockets from Studio Calico and A Beautiful Mess the pocket style wasn't in the app.  NOW that I've changed to 6x12 for the remaining of 2017, I can use the 12x12 pocket style A in the app to get an idea of what photo I want where.  Because I print from home this is an amazing tool to have.  Here are two samples of recent weeks I've shared and the weeks then put together.

It's release day over at Kellie Stamps and it's funny because I feel like I've had these sets for SO long as I designed them some time back when I was still designing for clear.  Digital not only allowed me to add more designs to each set, but when you order the BOOK NERD digital stamp set you also get 6 BONUS picket page cards!  Something I hope to offer you all in the future.  I'm also giving you the chance to win yourself BOTH sets, plus the cards.  More on that at the end of the blog post.

project life week #25

 I've started to realise that I don't take a bunch of photos every week like I used to TRY so hard to last year and early this year and I'm ok with that.  I feel I take a lot more during school holidays and Christmas holidays.  I think this is why I felt the 6x12 album wasn't going to work for me and the 9x12 was working better.  I'm thinking of looking to go back next year and just keep it simple.  BUT that's next year, and I haven't even finished this year, clearly with being up to week 25.

SUPPLIES :  Week twenty five 3x4 card from Little Lamm & Co.  Strawberry flair from Feed Your Craft.  Striped ribbon, YES cork sticker, Floral card from the Sunshine edition and the 3x3 and 9x12 pattern paper from A Beautiful Mess, Messy Box. Kellie Stamp set COFFEE.

ALBUM : Using a 9 x 12 album from A Beautiful Mess, here. 

PHOTOS : All photos printed at home using my epson picture mate.  3x4 photos made using the Collect App on iphone.

project life week #6

Today I'm sharing my week #6 and funny thing is that it's actually kept rather simple and one of my favourite weeks to date.  People are asking how I get my 3x4 photos to look this way, it's called the 'collect app' and it's amazing.  I then print them at home on my picture mate, two to a page, cut, often stamp, insert done.  Best of all if you want to, you can add journalling to the picture in the app, I just chose not to.

 

SUPPLIES :  Review 3x4 card from Paislee Press.   All photos printed at home using my picture mate.  Kellie Stamps used are from the set HASHTAG found here.

project life week #1 and #2 for 2015

I got inspired by the way some people seem to have a catchy photo at the top of their project life blog post, people like Kelly Purkey and mainly Rachel Del Grosso.

LITTLE BIT OF AN EXPLANATION :  I decided to change the size I had planned to use for 2015.  I was going with WRMK black 12x12, like my previous two years.  Only after reading Kelly Purkey's blog, here, about going 6x12, I was confused.  Should I just dive in and do it?  I went over my 2014 album, that I'm very happy with.  I noticed that if I took out all the pretty filler cards, which honestly is what I spend most of my time trying to match, I could SO do 6x12.  I still want to add journal and filler cards, but not let it over take my pages.  

I worked on my project life over the weekend and managed to get caught up in record time and LOVE the process of the smaller size.  Having a nice matching 6x12 WRMK black album helps.  When lined up with my 12x12 you wouldn't know it was smaller.
