Saturday Shares

This week has been so busy...lots of sporting events and end of school year activities. I'm not even sure if I remember when I last had a day off of work...and I still have a busy weekend ahead. Yet, somehow I found a few hours here and there this week to put together a few scrapbook layouts. Sadly my Project Life is not done to share yet, but will be soon! Instead I am sharing a few layouts I created this week.

Project Life 2013: Week 15

Hello week 15. Super simple and easy thanks to the awesomeness that is the new Blush Edition!

Oh how I love the journaling cards that have the days of the week on them. So perfect for this week when we were hit by nasty sick bug in our house and I had taken very few photos of the fun that ensued ;)

Still using that same title card, just recolored to match the Blush Edition. Word art from the title card was taken from some of the other journaling cards from the kit:

and that is it. Another week of our family memories...the good, the bad, and the ugly...recorded thanks to Project Life!!

I got a chance last night, to play with her new Grid-tastic Vol. 1 templates and I am in love! Definitely some great grid based templates, I will be using these over and over again! I created this layout with one of the kits I featured on the P&Co. CT blog hop; Book Nerd by Just Jaimee:

Project Life 2013: Week 14

Hello week 14, it has been a while. Life is getting so very busy and it is hard to find the time to sit down these days. I love how simple and easy documenting our week is though with Project Life. I can't say it enough...

This week I used the Honey Eedition again in all its colorful glory! I just love all the different colors in this edition, and how truly versatile it is!! You can pull out certain color schemes to use or use them all and each time you do that it looks so different! Love that :)

For the April card here I used the free calendar printable by FindingNana. Everything else I used this week can be found in the Honey Edition :)

Super simple and done for the album! Stay tuned for week 15, I am doing a fun AC digitals giveaway along with that post, see you soon....

TGIF! P & Co style :)

Happy Friday! Today I want to share a few layouts I created with some of the awesome new releases at Pixels & Co.!

New Scenic Route Full Kit by Deena Rutter & Coordinates Templates | April v. 1 by Simply Tiffany Studios 

Dawn By Design also joined the lineup of awesome designers today at the Company!! I used one of her Almost Done - Vol 4 Templates for this layout, as well as The Queen of Quirks And I Quote Kit to document this fun moment with my oh-so-sweet 4 year old:

and I totally ran out of sb time today, but I have a layout in the works with this fab-oo kit by Karla Dudley. So perfect for my boys who are all gamers at heart!

While you are at P & Co...because how can you not stop by and pick up some of the fab new goodies!? Make sure to check out the April challenges and play along with the photography challenge! Here is a sample layout I created for the entry level photo challenge, to create a layout that includes a self-portrait:

Project Life 2013: Week 13

Phew its been a while since I posted here. Thanks to a fun round of the sickies at our house. Today I am back and sharing my project life layouts for week 13!

This week I used the new Honey Edition, which is positively fabulous!!

I love how bright and colorful it is, and it is totally versatile and works with any type of photos you may be documenting!!

I use mainly cards in the kit that coordinated with my red/pink, turquoise/blue color scheme.  I recolored a few of the cards that I wanted to use that didn't match :)

Project Life 2013: Week 12

Week 12 and I am back to using the Kraft edition. It is my very favorite right now...although there are seriously so many great PL editions outright now it is hard to pick a favorite ;) This edition just worked with my photos for the week and the bright colors make me happy :D 

Sue asked for me to explain how I recolor elements to include in my PL album so here is a little step by step tutorial how I do it. (there are tons of different tutorials out there, but this is what works for me!)

 

Recoloring is something that I do with each and every one of my project life weekly spreads. I try not to change it up too much but love that I can coordinate every single card in the digital kit to work with my week :D

Project Life 2013: Week 11

Hello week 11 and hello Midnight Edition!! 

This edition was one of my very favorites as soon as I saw the previews and I must say I love it even more after getting a chance to use it! So many simple and beautiful cards. Great prompts for journaling cards and filler cards! It is simply stunning in every way :)

The first half of the week I didn't take many photos so I used a few of the filler cards here:

 the second half of the week was the complete opposite. I had more than enough photos to include and had a hard time choosing which ones to use & keep the week looking simple enough to work with this amazing kit!
