Project Life | Inspiration

Hi! Alissa here with my first post since returning for a short term on the team! Thanks, Eve, for asking me back. :)

This is my 3rd year doing Project Life and have done 12x12 pocket pages for the past 2 years. This year, I wanted to mix it up and decided on using 6x8 albums and still in the weekly format. I find the weekly format makes it easier for me to stay on top of it and "caught up". :) I have to be creative to get lots of photos in, but I love the challenge and it's working for me.

 

This week there was a birthday in my family and I added a 4x6 insert to get more photos in. And, more fun things from Evalicious! Eve's products are PERFECT for Project Life spreads. The card packs include 3x4 and 4x6 cards, which are easily cut down to 3x3 and 2x2 for my smaller pages.

 

The wood veneers are perfect to add to my photos for journaling/captions. To keep the pockets fairly flat, I adhere the wood veneer pieces to the outside of the pockets with Quick Grip glue. That stuff is super strong and will glue just about anything. :)

 

The week title card was a 3x4 card in the Life's Sweet PL card pack. The circle on the card was a perfect spot for the week title and dates using the Basic Black Puffy Sticker Alphas. 

 

The 2x2 coffee cup card was cut from a 4x6 card in the same Life's Sweet pack. The stamped title is from the Morning Coffee stamp set and LOVE is the Gray Woodgrain Puffy Sticker Alphas.

 

Here's a closeup of the wood veneer from the Life's Sweet Wood Veneer pack, adhered to the outside of the pocket.

I really hope you have enjoyed this little look into my 6x8 Project Life process and thanks for stopping by.

Hello all! Wendy here to share up a Project Life ™inspired layout for you.  I'm using a ~7"x8" format and working gradually to add more layouts into my smaller album.  The smaller album format works for me in my busy happenings.  I'm loving this approach and it's my goal to really be more into documenting the everyday now that I'm married because I'm really enjoying these moments together.  Even if not in so many words but photos alone, just getting the photos and moments onto paper.

I enjoy mixing it up (as you can see in my previous post here) and for this layout I reached back to older photos from the year or so past.  Go ahead, give yourself permission to mix it up....document out of order and just re-live the moment.  Many times I'll create it up with the same photos more than once.  I'm guilty and it's ok.

In this layout, I used birthday photos of my husband from 2013.  They seriously crack me up as he had a stomach full from dinner at home and then there was THE cake.  Well, being the comic that he is, he 'staged' a shot where he was head first into the cake and afterwards, the cake coma face. Yes, such a comic.  I had a laugh or two while creating this layout (and I confess he had a good laugh in remembering this moment too). Ha!

I used the 'cheers to a new year' from Hello 2014 Snip Snip Page Tabs along with wood veneer numbers.  Then I added a sprinkling of ink along with a mini triangle stamp from Photo Shoot Clear Stamp Set and fun puffy stars from Miscellany Shapes Puffy Stickers.  Just the right touch of festive fun for a birthday, yes!

I added the 'note this' badge from Field Notes v1 Badge Buttons.  The 'say cheese' tab is from Photo Shoot SnipSnip Page Tabs.

Did you know the Evalicious labels are perfect for layering too? I used the music note label from Love You Lots SnipSnip Labels.  Then, a sweet touch on texture with a wood veneer shape 'Fig. 1' from Field Notes Wood Veneer and more mini triangles and puffy stickers too.

For my title, I explored a fun twist by mixing stamps (#insta) and the new Evalicious Ledger Paper Alpha Stickers.  The grid effect on the puffy stickers are clean and versatile.  Then, a bit more stamping on the title as 'life documented' from the Field Notes Clear Stamp Set.  

I hope you enjoyed my project!
