Project Life at TSR!

Hello there friends! And yes, we are on the Project Life train! Whoot! Whoot! Really, how can you not be? It is the most NOT fussy kind of scrapbooking around. You can do it every week, every couple of weeks, or every month! Basically, anything goes!

When I first heard of Project Life, I was like "no way!" Take a picture everyday...complete a layout every week...buy MORE scrapbook supplies to make an additional album...really? No thanks. But as I researched more and more, I realized that I could make it anything I wanted! I decided, quite quickly, that a pic a day or a layout a week was not going to happen. Hello? A full-time job, a busy hubby, 4 kiddos, homework, house work, ballgames...get the picture...NEVER! But I did know that the once a month bit, was certainly doable! These are the things I LOVE and that work for me...

1. It is a no fuss way to scrapbook! The sizes are already derived for you and all you do is crop your pics, crop your scraps for where you don't have pics, add journaling, and embellish...EASY!

2. The photo sleeve protectors. There are TONS of layouts! I am using We R Memory Keepers Protectors and there are so many different arrangements. Tammy is a Project Life lover too, and she has most of the WRMK Photo Sleeve Protectors in the ScrapRoom Store!! No kidding!! You can check them out HERE.

3. Quick turn around for documenting your memories. I am behind in my regular scrapbooking and I find myself forgetting the details sometimes. But with Project Life, I can certainly remember the details on a month-by-month basis.

4. Stash buster!! Gotta LOVE this aspect! It makes me so happy to be able to kill a TSR kit after I have scrapbooked my regular layouts!

Here is a look at my title page using February's FOTM kit and a Style D WRMK Protector...



And here is my January layout using February's FOTM kit, a Style D WRMK Protector, and a Multi-Pack Protector...






Well, that's it for this month! I will be back next month to share my February layout. Be sure to check back tomorrow...Tammy will be here to share her Project Life method and layouts!

Happy Wednesday!

It's Freaky Fast Friday!!

Well, hiya...it's Friday....it's Friday! I'm doing my happy dance by the way!! LOL!!

I'm here today to share my 2nd layout using February's Freaky Fast Formula. Just in case you forgot, here's a reminder...

1. Cardstock or Patterned Paper Background
2. 9-3" X 3" patterned paper

No, I'm not kidding...that is it!!

And here are the steps to completing a layout using February's formula...

1. Collect a few pics.
2. Cut your patterned paper to the dimensions stated above.
3. Push the paper around your cardstock till you achieve the look you want, or simply copy my layout below!
4. Adhere and EMBELLISH! It is that easy!!

Here's a look at my 2nd Freaky Fast Layout for February...

Wrapped in LOVE

Again, this layout came together sooooo quickly! I used the Jillibean Soup Hearty Barley kit from the Flavors of the Month kit. This layout only took 30 minutes!! The major difference between last week's layout and this week's layout, is that I incorporated pics into my grid. Like I said the possibilities are ENDLESS!!

Don't forget that if you create a layout using this month's formula, all you have to do is add your link to this post HERE by Wednesday, February 29th. Our design team will then choose our favorite, and one lucky lady will win a $10 gift certificate to our TSR Store!

Sneak #6

Needing a Bit of Lovin by Frances (FOTM)

The Last of the Rewards Kit!

It's late Sunday night, and I am finally here with the last bit of inspiration using the Rewards Kit. I have been having a booger of a time posting this weekend...internet trouble OVERLOAD!! But we are finally hooked back up, and I am moving right along. As you know I have already shown off my layouts using the American Crafts Chap Collection, and all that is left is KI Memories Hot Date Collection. And can you say BRIGHT, BRIGHT, BRIGHT!! It's a fun one! Here is a look at my layouts...

I {HEART} These 4 Faces!

With as many kiddos as I have, I could not resist creating a double using this oh so fun paper!! What I LOVE the most about this kit is the fun papers. This layout is really nothing but the papers, and they totally add to the FUN that my kiddos were having a few summers ago!

Daddy's Chest is Heaven!

When I first layed eyes on the sweet, sweet heart paper, it was just screaming, "CUT ME UP!" And that is just what I did! I 1st created a grid layout using a few pics, the cute zebra printed pocket, the heart paper, and the blue chevron striped paper. To add dimension, I went back to my scraps of the heart paper. I cut a few of the same hearts in the block of paper that I added to my layout, and popped them up using foam squares...EASY! I added journaling to my tag and slipped it into the zebra pocket.

Check back tomorrow for the last February sneak...goodnight!
