My Version of Project Life :)


If been looking at purchasing / making a Project Life album for sometime, I keep putting it off for  a few reasons. I have read a few blogs, & found that after awhile it becomes a chore to keep it up to date & I wasn't keen on purchasing a whole new scrapbooking kit / style. So, to scratch my creative itch to do something like PL, I came up with this double layout. I found some really cute free printables from 'Miss Tina' & I used some of her elements to personalize my own cards.

I did these in photoshop & printed them as photos. I used kraft cardstock & using a template of the cards, I traced around them with a pencil to work out my placing. I then used a sewing machine to stitch in my grid first & then rubbed out my pencil lines. Once I'd done that I started sticking down my photos, elements & did my journalling :)

Latest scrappy creations....

Hi Scrappers!! These pages I have created over the last couple of weeks at home, doodling around at the coffee table (instead of my craft room LOL) in front of the TV. I'm one of those people that can't sit still - my hands ALWAYS have to be busy. So all these layouts feature my best creation - my little man Riley!! So take a look & thanks for stopping by :)
