Life is Sweet | Inspriation

Good morning and happy June! Can you believe summer is almost here? I know I can't! Some of my favorite things about summer are tea lemonades from Starbucks and the color yellow. Today's inspiration has a little of both going on.

 

I'm really in love with black and white with a pop of color and yellow just happens to be my favorite color. And, to top it off, the Life is Sweet collection is perfect with these colors. :)

To separate the badges from the background, I framed them with a punched paper circle. Don't you think it just adds a little pop and separates the badges from the rest of the page. The punched circle gives the badge a little extra weight on the page.

The wood veneer just did not look right in the natural color so I colored them with a black Sharpie pen and backed them with a rectangle of the same striped paper to raise the words from the page and give them more weight in the design.

One final shot showing the dimension on the page. I just love how this one turned out. Love the colors, the design and how the Evalicious products just made it perfect! :)

I hope you've enjoyed a look at this page and are inspired by something to create a project of your own. Summer, tea lemonade and Evalicious products go perfectly together. :)

Have a great day!

Mini Tag Book | Inspiration

 

Hello and Good Morning Evalicious fans! Alissa here today with a fun little mini tag book I made. I always loved this one I made when I was on the team in 2012.

 

This year's version is a little bigger but very similar. This little mini  is super simple to make. Grab a large shipping tag and a bunch of single sided patter paper cut to size and you're ready to go!

 

Mist the front of the tag and stamp the back of the tag and all the papers with different Evalicious stamps to create a back ground pattern.

 

The paper coffee cup stamp was perfect for this min about an afternoon visit to a local coffee house with my mom and my niece.

 

 

I staples in the little photos and added a few stickers and wood veneer throughout the book. 

 

A little gold mist goes a long way to add loveliness, in my opinion. :)

 

 

 

Sew the book together with a little bit of floss. A simple stitch holds it all together. :)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And the back. The tie is a simple baker's twine looped on the top of the tag and the other half is staples to the bottom and then tied together to hold it all in.

So simple and so fun! What will you make with your shipping mini book?

I can't wait to see!

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.
