Project Life is making a
big impact on the world of papercrafting and art journaling. Those little pockets unleash a different kind
of creativity and I love that focus on writing the story to go with the
photos.
Last month we held a
celebration of life for our mother with the kind help of Nici who helped us
embrace the message of celebrating the beauty of our days. At the same time friends were asking me how
to save special cards in the Project Life format and how to make use of the
collections of scraps we are all hoarding.
The questions became the inspiration for these pages as a celebration of
life with journaling about the creative journey we shared.
Maya Road Stamps with a
sewing theme were the creative spark that called for a handicraft theme. CratePaper Fourteen has a Valentines Day theme with a bit of creative cutting gives you
lots more options.
The base of the page is
Cupid paper cut to the 3x4” size with faux stitching.
Everyone love stencils and I love being creative in recycling. Kiddies stencils can double duty in the craft
room.
Being creative with
trims we can focus on love hearts.
All the photos on these
pages are from special times with stories to tell and that was the inspiration
for flip up journal cards.
Our last card for mother’s day now has a home and a
story to share.
Love to hear your thoughts on the Project Life style
and don’t mind a good challenge ~ just like the question of how do you save
special cards in the pockets ~ you never know where they will take you.

this is just beautiful Mandy....Love it!! :)
What a very fun project, all of the colors went so well together! Loved the chevrons.
Absolutely wonderful! You did an amazing job matching colors and the overall look :0
This is LOVELY, Mandy! I just love the ideas behind Project Life, and think that could be something for me for next year. When my hubby & I were first together I was so good at keeping things, scrapbooking it all, etc. Then life takes over...LOL... But I'd like to be better at archiving our life and my own experiences. Sweet to see the how your project is taking shape, and especially those pics of your mum. :o) Happy Days ((HUGS))
beautiful pages, i really feel like you put a lot of heart into them with all of the special detailing you did!
This is really beautiful. I love all your pics. Thank you for sharing, Mandy.

Lovely Mandy. I've just purchased my first Project Life sleeves so will be giving the concept a go. I'm thinking this just might be my style of scrapbooking...
