It's time for another Studio AE Blog Hop and this month we're featuring the March 2013 Studio AE Stamp Set,
This month's stamp set is fabulous (of course!), usuable (of course!) and mixes and matches so well with Ali's other stamps (as well as any stamps you may have in your scrap/stamp stash)!
Today I'm sharing a recent Project Life spread for 2013. It's simple, basically photos, journaling and stamping.
PROJECT LIFE | Week 9
Most of the journaling cards are from Studio Calico's Front Row Project Life Kit (February). The title card is a blank one from Becky Higgins and a couple of the others are either from the Seafoam Edition (Becky Higgins) or something else from my stash (I've linked below where I could!).
Ali's Big Days Stamp Set worked perfectly with the March Stamp set on this Project Life spread. These will be getting lots of use in my PL album.
I also think I will be toning down the dimensional embellishments a lot this year. I love the badges (which are super bulky but I love 'em!) but I've found that I am really drawn to a journaling card + stamping + photos for my album pages. I'm working on several videos showing ideas on stamping your own journaling cards that I can't' wait to share with you!
And, yes, I've been taking tons of photos of myself. At first I felt really really silly (okay, I still do!) but I'm finding that as I look at the photos of myself from last year and before it is really a great way not only to include myself in my scrapbooking (and what I'm like right now) but to record the healthy lifestyle changes that I've been working towards for over a year now! I'm also including photos of my paper crafting projects when I feel like it. It's such a big part of me and my life that I can't belive I haven't been doing this before! Duh! (smacking myself in the forehead...)
Week 9 Title Card featuring lots of stamping. The March Studio AE stamp set ("document life" and the phrase in the block), Studio Calico (everything else).
I used a stamp from this month's Studio AE set nine times in this 2-page spread! I call that versatility. These phrases can and will be great used again and again!
