Project Life 2013 | Week Seven (Studio Calico March Project Life Kit)

Welcome to Project Life | Week Seven.

Each month during 2013 one of my Project Life weeks will be using the Studio Calico Project Life kit.

You can check out all the new kits for March over at Studio Calico here: Scrapbook Kit | Project Life Kit | Card Kit.

This week I did lots of cutting and pasting with the journal cards that were included in the kit - adding them to photos and combining them together to create some additional designs.

A peek at the mess in progress on my table.

The date card (upper left corner) was created by combining the folded journal card + a 4x6 journal card (cut) + a 3/4 journal card (cut) + the days of the week stamp + the folded circle accent (cut) + a date stamp from my stash. Those were all stitched together using yellow thread on my sewing machine.

I included two 6x12 divided page protectors as my insert for this week to include more images from my Palm Springs adventure.

I cut the diagonal 4x6 die-cut and the "&" 4x6 journal card and stitched them together to create a partially see-through element. I added letter stickers + the arrow stamp on the front. On the back I added two flags that were cut from journal cards to create an additional element (loved how Allison Walken did something similar last month when she added two horizontal elements on a photo).

The "lucky" banner was cut from a journal card.

"Be Awesome Always" was cut from the March Neverland printable.

I printed out the March Neverland printable and used scissors and a 1 inch circle punch from EK Success to add those elements to my photos with foam dots and rolling adhesive. Especially loved cutting out that "be awesome always" element and adding it to the back of one of the 4x6 cards.

    Another great week - thanks for the continuing inspiration! I know my albums will never look just like yours, but at least I can take bits and pieces of your style and incorporate them into my work.

    BTW - I wanted to say that it's not fair that you're not only super duper talented and artistic, but that you're also beautiful! :)

    Hello Ali,

    What paper do you print your printables on? Do you use photo paper or plain cardstock?

    Cheers!

    PS: I'm a long-time fan!
