I have a new addiction - Project Life!! Project Life is a
really simple easy way for you to scrapbook your pictures.
You have an album, photo page protectors, a core kit and
your favourite photos. Here's my first pages that I put together. For this one
I used a Becky Higgins core kit called Honey.
And then I had the idea of making my own cards. Pretty
simple really, all you need is some
Papermill Direct card and a die cutting
machine, or if you want something really simple you could cut the shapes yourself
or use ready made shapes. The cards come in generally two sizes 6x4 or 3x4.
So first I cut out 2, 6x4 cards on my Silhouette Cameo. A
plain one using the cream linen and the kite one using the Maroon card. I also
cut out the kite die with the same Maroon card.
The title letters were cut in three layers with the same
cream and maroon card on my Cameo . I then used a glue pen to layer them all
up.
I've then put the title card all together.
Next I've cut out 3 layers of card for the journalling card,
the largest one being 6x4 ins. I then cut out the kite shape in maroon.
Layer up the card and then I added the kite shape down the
left hand side. This card is for you to journal on. Don’t forget to add the
date and location.
Next I wanted some embellishments for the actual photos as
they had some quite big plain areas. I cut out some different shaped kites in
layers and then an arrow.
I place the title and journalling card in the first and last
pockets and then placed my photos. Where I thought it looked a bit bare I glued
my kite embellishments. Because I wanted my arrow on several photos I glued it
to the actual photo pockets.
Here's my final page.

Papermill Direct blog.
