Project Life 2012 | Week Fourteen

Working my way through the last few weeks of Project Life. Printing photos. Handwriting journaling. Gathering memorabilia. I'm keeping it pretty simple in order to get caught up and get it done. Plus, I am realizing that I might want to start limiting some of the bulkier embellishments so I don't end up with too many albums for 2012! I love the stamped journaling cards and die cut pieces, though, so I'm keeping the "embellishment" mostly to my paper, stamps and die cut choices. :)

Here's my Week 14 Project Life spread:

Left side:

I chose to leave the 4x6 and 3x4 "windows" with the die cut shapes from last week open here so that they are still "see-through" from last week's spread.

I used a birth announcement we received in the mail in one of the photo pockets. I really enjoy the memorabilia aspect of Project Life. Things that I may have just thrown in a box before or thrown away now have a "home" in our PL album.

This week I was able to use one of my very first custom journaling cards I created way back in February. You can see that post HERE.

Right side:

I love the 3x4 card with quote from Jillibean Soup so I used it as a "filler" on my page. :) I love finding ways to incorporate pieces from my stash that might not get used on a regular scrapbook page. And I love the companies that create 12x12 sheets with cut apart pieces that are perfect for Project Life.

Really loving the look of stamped journaling cards. I'm thinking I need to make a few more sets of these to have on hand. Plus, it's such a great way to just play with stamps.

Project Life 2012 | Week Thirteen

Over the next week or so I will be sharing quite a few weeks' worth of Project Life layout shares. Finally getting everything caught up now that life is a bit more manageable. ;)

Week 13:

Left side:

I used a Kerri Bradford template for the 4x6 photo collage of my youngest son.

I implemented my custom stamped journaling cards this week. I love how they personalize my album and pages.

Right side: 

With the busy schedule of this week, I missed taking photos a couple of days. To make up those empty spaces I die cut 3x4 and 4x6 shapes from the Silhouette Store from kraft cardstock and spritzed them with white Studio Calico Mister Huey to distress 'em up a bit.

Shapes from the Silhouette Store:

I love how the 3x4 die cut heart from this week is a "window" to the printed movie poster for next week. :)

Custom Stamped Journaling Cards #ProjectLife

What I'm discovering on this Project Life journey is that I prefer creating my own stamped journaling cards for my album in lieu of the ones in the kit. And that's ok. I have given myself permission to figure out what works best for me this year so that I keep it up and don't get too behind (don't laugh since I am more than a bit behind sharing). Now that I know that I will be stamping my own journaling cards pretty much from here on out, I can stock up on Becky's blank journaling cards when they are back in stock at Amazon.

As I have been printing photos and working on the last 5 weeks of Project Life to share here on my blog, I also took some time to stamp up a bunch of journaling cards, ready to be used. I love being able to just put my page together without having to work on coming up with the journaling card design right at that moment. I discovered this when creating the stamped journaling cards for the last three Studio AE Blog Hops. You can see those cards HERE, HERE and HERE. As I have put these cards to use and included them in my album, I realized that I could be making all kinds of journaling cards to have on hand. Duh!

Here is a look at some of the cards I stamped this week:

This weekly journaling card set was inspired by these Studio Calico Hero Arts days of the week stamps. I knew when I bought these that I wanted to use them for daily journaling cards and I finally got around to creating them! I really love how they look paired with the May 2012 Studio AE Stamp Set. The combination of block letters with a script font phrase is so fun. I also mixed in lots of other stamps from Studio Calico. Kelly Purkey really designs some fantastic stamps. They rock my stamping world. :)

I am partial to bright colorful stamping but these cards would look good stamped in any color combination to make them personal to you and your style and it will give them a whole different look.

This next set was inspired by the set of cards I stamped for the April Studio AE Blog Hop last month. I love how Ali's Hello Routine Stamp Set stamps and how the circle is the positive (colored) stamped portion and the words are the negative (white) part. It gives the journaling cards a real pop of color. Because I have already used all the ones I made last month, I decided I needed some more. :)

Again, I combined other stamped phrases for diversity and interest.

My final share today is something I have been thinking about for weeks. Weeks. I am a voracious reader (nothing too thought-provoking, to be sure. I'm more of a "fluff" reader. It's my relaxation before bed most nights.) and I would love a way to document that hobby in my PL album since my Nook is such a big part of my life. ;)

This is what I came up with. Several fun journaling cards created with a book border stamp from a past Studio Calico monthly kit and lots of other Studio Calico stamps, all with a story, book or reading theme. 

SUPPLIES (click on photos for links):

I'm working on a travel-themed set, a "quoted" set and a framed-up set (for instagram sized photos) as well. I'll be sharing those soon. Like tomorrow. ;)

And if you enjoy the Project Life shares I will be catching up with the posting of all my weekly layouts over the next 2 weeks. :) And, yes, you will be seeing lots of these cards on my weekly page shares. 

Have a wonderful weekend!

May Studio AE from Technique Tuesday Blog Hop

It's that time again... time for another Studio AE Blog Hop!

This month's stamp set is Simple Joy by Ali Edwards (May Studio AE) stamp set.

I've got a couple of projects for you this month!

First up, a non-traditional sized layout:

This page is 6x12 and is an insert for this week's Project Life spread. It was a small version of Ali's "Day in the Life" concept. Just a little insert to show what an ordinary everyday is like here at the Magouirk house. :)

I used a photo template by Kerri Bradford (included in supply list below) to create this adorable photobooth style photo strips.

I mixed in lots of the phrase stamps from this month's Studio AE stamp set using Stampin' Up inks in several colors.

I printed some journaling directly on the 6x12 sheert of paper.

I combined this month's stamps with some other stamps, washi tape and minimal embellishments. Easy, fun and something I can definitely see doing periodically to show our everyday life.

Next, I created yet more journlaing cards for my Project Life album. I love having custom stamped cards on hand ready for journaling like I did HERE and HERE.

I combined this month's Studio AE stmaps with some Studio Calico stamps for these fun, colorful and custom PL journaling cards.

I used a stamp from one of Ali's other stamp sets here with one from this month's set:

These journaling cards will be making an appearance in my PL album soon!

April Studio AE from Technique Tuesday Blog Hop | Project Life Week #10

Welcome to the April Studio AE Blog Hop!

This month the design team is featuring projects showcasing the April Studio AE stamp set, “Hello Routine by Ali Edwards”.

Much like last month's Studio AE project, I stamped some journaling cards for my Project Life album. These are super simple. I stamped each image directly onto one of Becky Higgins' journaling cards. I was sure to stamp these off an edge, whether it be on top or bottom. I felt like with the shape of these stamps it helped to "ground" them, if you will. 

I combined this month's Studio AE stamps with other stamped images to individualize each for this week's layout spread. However, I didn't use them all so I have more ready to be journaled on and included at a later date! Love that.

However, I thought you might like to see the cards in action, so to speak, so here's Week 10 of my Project Life:

This was a crazy, busy week with lots of photos and lots of memorabilia and lots of jouranling. I ended up using 3 inserts for this week. This is definitely not something I will do very often but as I go through my week here, I'll explain why I used and included what I did. 

The first insert is an 8.5 x 11 sheet protector with my kid's band concert program inside.

Here is one of Ali's April Studio AE Stamps on a journaling card. Simple stamping with computer generated journaling and a date stamp. Simple, easy but just look at how much color this stamp adds to my page!

The second insert is Becky's Photo Pocket Page - Design G. I love this style because it allows me to include additional photos and journaling on a sheet protector slightly smaller than the 12x12 ones I use for my weekly spread.

We went on a little Spring Break quick weekend to Washington DC and I wanted to be able to include more than just one photo per day. This was the perfect way to do that. 

I also had stamped up journaling cards specifically for our vacation and included them throughout the week documenting our daily travels. I love that one of the new Studio Calico/Hero Arts stamp sets includes all the states for the USA... perfect for domestic adventures and travels.

The backside of the photo pocket insert page and also the front of the third insert: Becky's Big Envelope Pages. This is where I put all the memorabilia that didn't fit into another slot in my PL album. These are perfect for vacation memorabilia! Consider taking one of these with you when you go on vacation and throw everything into it so it's all in one place ready for memory keeping!

I added additional stamping to the insert that comes with the envelope using Ali's stamps and several of the Studio Calicio/Hero Arts stamps.

Finally, here's the rest of my week 10 with several journaling cards featuring Ali's April Studio AE stamps.

Love the color that these stamped journaling cards add without the bulk. I included some additional stamping to customize them even further.

March Studio AE from Technique Tuesday Blog Hop

Welcome to the March Studio AE Blog Hop!

This month the design team is featuring projects showcasing the February Studio AE stamp set, “Beauty of Spring by Ali Edwards” (March Studio AE) set".

Here's some journaling cards for my Project Life album that I created with this month's stamp set:

I grabbed some plain journaling cards by Becky HIggins and a variety of image stamps to coordinate with the March Studio AE Stamp set...

And stamped up some 3x4 cards for my Project Life album.

These cards are all more of the "filler" variety. Not much room for journaling but are lovely little stamped additions that work great for "filling in" when needed. Pretty Spring-like colors and phrases that help tell a story.

I think this filler card below is my favorite. I colored in a Hero Arts stamp with Memento Stamp Markers so that I got this wonderful multi-colored effect when stamped and then I stamped Ali's Studio AE phrase stamp over it, being sure to line up "life is good" with the opening on the HA stamp design. This would have worked with several of the phrases in the Studio AE stamp set. I may have to make more I love it so much.

Colors of Memento Markers used:

• Rose Bud
• Tangelo
• Cantelope
• Pear Tart
• Bamboo Leaves
• Rich Cocoa

I also stamped several more "journaling style" cards that work better for adding bits of information and journaling to my Project Life album. 

I love how the Studio Calico "twenty twelve" circle/sun stamp works so well with this month's Studio AE stamp set. 

Even though this stamp set is geared more towards Spring, the "Hello Sun" card above would definitely be a great journaling card for those summer months and the two "hello new life" cards below are perfect for recording births. Love the way the SC boy and girl images work for this style of journaling card. So many uses. :)

Project Life 2012 | Weeks Eight & Nine #ProjectLife

Project Life for me = Happiness.

All those little bits and pieces that I used to let stack up until I couldn't remember what they were for or why I kept them in the first place now have a home. I love how my Project Life album is a representation of daily life around here. Good and bad. I love that already, just two months in, I wonder why I never followed through before. I look through the past nine weeks and realize just how full life is and how happy I am that I'm recording it. I have scrapbooked for years and years and have albums of layouts but somehow this format gives a much better overall view of our lives. It rejuvenates my soul, has given me renewed interest in all things crafty and leaves me feeling like no matter how many photos didn't make it into my weekly layout, I am not behind. Love this so very much!

Week Eight:

This week features another 8.5x11 insert similar to week seven HERE only I have two  pages of artwork from my little guy. He's been on a real creative bender lately. I love it.

I was really in recovery mode this week. Taking care of myself after surgery and I forgot to take photos some days. In the past I would have let this detour my PL efforts but instead I found creative ways to get around the "no photo days". Instead I added print outs from @Zodiakfacts from Twitter that I had emailed myself and printed out on journlaing cards. I included ticket stubs, business cards, doctor appoint cards and a photo printout from a saved Tweet. 

I added color to my journaling cards with colorful stamping. I used lots of super old stamps too. Some of them are from old, old October Afternoon stamp sets. 

I used a Kerri Bradford template for Wednesday's photo (kit linked below) so I could include more photos from a birthday party. Because I needed additional journaling room and didn't have a 4x6 photo for Friday, I used that pocket to house two journaling cards for the second half of the week. Even thought they aren't "in order" per se I love how I took the space and made it work for me.

Week Nine:

The end of February and start of March. This week really drove home the fact that I've made it 2 months with Project Life! It doesn't feel like a chore, rather it feels like something I get to do!

Lots of photos this week (even if that isn't exactly reflected in the layout. My new camera (Canon 60D) was getting a workout. ;)

Lots of color this week too. And stamping. This may be one of my favorite weekly spreads so far simply because I had so much fun playing with stamping.

Nothing too fancy with the weekly title card again. I will likely change them up a bit at some point but for now I am still enjoying the butterflies and banners added to the die cuts so I am keeping with that for a bit.

The alphabet stamps on the "panini" card are from one of last month's Studio Calico kit (I missed the kit but snagged these individually later last month).

I used old/discontinued stamps from my collection for the "capture" journaling card as well. "Capture" is from a 2011 Studio AE monthly stamp set and the rest of the stamps are from an old OA set.

The "you are here" journaling card features stamps from old SC monthly kits and another 2011 Studio Calico stamp set.

I used a KBS photo collage for the photo pocket in the top right corner. Love being able to add multiple photos for a single day this way!

For The Lorax photo, I simply took a screen shot of the poster from imdb.com and cropped it to 3x4 and printed. Super easy. This is how I am doing all my movie posters for the movies we see this year. :)

Because I used 2 pockets for photos and 1 for journaling for Friday, I added additional journaling to one of my photos in Photoshop before printing.

Ella Publishing Ezine | Stamped Journaling Spots

Happy Valentine's Day!

Today, I am thrilled to be sharing ideas for the Ella Publishing EZine article this week, Stamped Journaling Spots, for creating your own stamped jouranling spots, labels and tags. 

Up first, how aobut a Valentine's layout featuring stamped notebook paper journaling spot accents!

I have always loved the look of notebook paper journaling spots on layouts. Lots of companies have made journaling spot tear off sheets over the years and I'm going to share how easy it is to make your own!

To create these great journaling spots I first ran ledger style patterned paper through my Silhouette Cameo to give that decorative notebook edges with a Kerri Bradford die cut kit (you could also use a notebook edger punch to recreate a similar look). Next, I added a title for my journaling spot my an Ali Edwards Studio AE Stamp. I added glitter pen over the top for an even more pre-made look. Then, I added a sub-title with additional Ali Edwards stamps. Adding text stamping to your journaling spots give them that great pre-made feel that we all love but in a size and style and color that perfectly matches the layout you're working on!

I added layered pre-made die cuts over the sewn on ribbon trims for embellishment.

Here's another example of creating your own stamped label. I am a huge fan of using October Afternoon (or similar) label stickers on my pages but when I don't have one that matches my project, I turn to my stamps to create a custom, perfectly matched accent for my page. I used Papertrey Ink stamps and die for my date label.

With Project Life being so popular (and taking part in this journey myself this year) I'm always looking for ways to increase my creativity with my weekly layouts. One of my favorite ways to personalize my pages is with custom stamped journaling cards.

Becky Higgins sells these plain journaling cards and they are perfect for stamping up and having on hand to include in Project Life or on any layout. I use my PL journaling cards on all kinds of layouts, not just PL!

I used an assortment of stamps from Ali Edwards, Studio Calico and Stampin' Up to create this set of love-themed journaling cards. I added glitter pen over some of the stamped images for texture and interest.

SUPPLIES (click on photos for links):

InLinkz.com

Additional Supplies:

• Stampin' Up Pink Pirouette Ink
• Ali Edwards Studio AE This One Stamp Set

As I mentioned above on the layout, I am a huge fan of including sticker labels on my scrapbook layouts but I don't always have the right color, the right size of label for what I need. Why not make your own?!

I create this set of stamped labels using images from Papertrey Ink, Stampin' Up and Studio Calico. To create the multi-colored label, I colored the stamp with Memento Markers before stamping on the coordinating die cut label. I love how the different colors give the look of a pre-made label!

Digital die cutting machines give us so many options for creating our own journaling spots and labels! I die cut these file folder journaling spots from ledger paper and stamped them with phrases from Papertrey Ink and Ali Edwards.

February Studio AE from Technique Tuesday Blog Hop

Welcome to the February Studio AE Blog Hop!

This month the design team is featuring projects showcasing the February Studio AE stamp set, "Favorite Story by Ali Edwards".

Here's a layout I created with this stamp set:

One of my very favorite things to do with stamps is to create my own custom patterned paper backgrounds. Using 3 of the phrases from this stamp set I created this 6x12 custom strip of paper stamping the designs using 5 ink colors. I purposely chose ink colors that complimented my photos and the patterned papers I was using.

I started at the bottom of the paper in the middle and worked my way out and up, switching the ink color for each stamping. I keep a baby wipe handy to quickly swipe my stamp to clean it between each impression.

Here's what it looks like finished.

I could have left it exactly as it was but the rest of my patterned papers I am using have a more distressed feel and look to them so I added my own distressing with my favorite Studio Calico Clay Mister Huey ink. It gives just the right amount of "worn and weathered" to my piece.

Here's how the bottom half of the page shaped up once I added my patterned paper strip title (sub-title is an Ali Edwards stamp from an older stamp set), a journaling strip, a striped patterned paper strip sewn on over a piece of cream lace and some pretty yellow lace trim.

I added a stamped date on an MME label sticker in the same colors I used to stamp my patterned paper.

I created my own stamped label embellishment at the top of the page using Papertrey Ink stamps and dies with Ali Edwards stamps.

Scrap It Weekly 2012 | Week 6 (layout + video)

I'm so super excited about this week's layout. It features one of my very favorite things (handstitched manilla tags) from a super awesome scrapper and designer (Amy Tangerine)! If you're a fan of Amy's or if you enjoy implementing handmade embellishments into your paper crafting, you will love her new tags exclusive to Two Peas in a Bucket. Be sure to check them out ASAP as quantaties are limited.

HERE is a layout (my Project Life 2012 title page) where I used a similar tag that she created for a past Studio Calico kit.

My layout this week features a photo collage of my youngest son from a couple years back and shows a range of facial expressions from joyous to downright angry. At the time I was exaperated because I needed a good shot but looking back I find this hilarious and it is SO him. Love that. Love him.

Here's a close up of how I customized the handstitched tag using Studio Calico and Studio AE stamps:

I created heart accents by layering washi tapes on paper and then die cutting the shapes for custom heart embellishments. Super fun

Brads or buttons add that perfect finishing touch. ;)

I added a chipboard alpha and number to the photo. They make great embellishments plus the number documents my son's age in these photos. :) I will probably need to secure them better with Glossy Accents or the Tiny Attacher so that they don't fall off over time.
