Project Life Cards Layout

I have a stack of Project Life cards, but I found out I really don't use them. Of course I wanted to find a way to incorporate them into my 12 x 12 layouts. I also realized I did not want to do a grid layout.

I first tried a double 8 inch layout; my pet album is this smaller size.

Ok, I know you must think i'm cheating a bit here. I did attempt a full 12 inch layout. As you can see I did get a little more creative this time around

The entire spread was made with PL cards, except the background paper. there is one 4x6 card split in half and tucked underneath. The tag and heart were cut from 3x4 cards.

Hello Everyone

I have a lot (and I do mean A LOT!) of PL/Pocket Page Style supplies so this was right up my alley! :)

I used 3x4 cards for this layout from Simple Stories.  It was very simple to put together.  That is what I do love about this type of scrapbooking.  It is so easy and simple to create a page.

I encourage you to use your Project Life / Pocket Page Style papers to create your next layout.

Thanks for stopping by and HAPPY SCRAPPIN'!

Using a Single Sketch for Cards and Scrapbooking Layouts - One Sketch, Three Ways

Hello Everyone

Today I'm sharing the idea of either taking a card sketch or layout sketch and creating layouts and cards based on those sketches.  You really can take any sketch and use it for cards and layout by just tweaking it a bit.  For my post today I created a sketch of a card I have created in the past.  It has been a design I have loved and have used it on many cards I have created for card classes.  I took that design and 'stretched it' to create a sketch for my scrapbook layouts.  You can see by the two layouts and card that the design/sketch of them all are the same.  I just added different embellishments to suit my project for each one.  This was also a great excuse to take out some of my older paper collections and use them.  I encourage you to do the same.  I had thought about purging all of my older things (believe me I have purged a lot already)  and decided that some of it were collections I really did love and had purchased with the intention of using them so that it what I did! :) A few years later but who will know or care that I didn't used the newest collections when I did these layouts. LOL :) Except you and me!!!

I encourage you to take a sketch that you love and try this idea of using it for multiple layout sizes or cards and to use what you love even though it might not be the newest collections that have just come out.
