Breaking all the Project Life Rules

My latest assignment for Fancy Pants Designs was not only a two –pager (which I struggle with) but a Project Life spread.  Now, I fully appreciate the gorgeous things I see coming out of Project Life.  But it’s just not for me and I had never even attempted it.  It’s tough for a gal who loves layers!

So what was I to do?  I pretty much just found a way to break the “rules” and make it my own.

I didn’t even use divided page protectors on this ::gasp::!

You can read all about how I adapted Project Life to fit my scrapping style and see the details of my page at the Fancy Pants Designs blog!

Fall Treat Tin Set

Last week the gals at Pink Paislee ushered in fall with projects featuring autumn hues.  My contribution was this fun treat tin set that uses a paint can from the hardware store.

I used tons of the Hey Kid line on this… see? Not just for kid stuff!  I cut the leaves with my Cameo and used lots of yellow, red, and orange.

I made a matching card to go with this gift, which would be perfect to send some fall treats or even filled with foliage for people who don’t get to see the leaves change.

 

Thanks for taking a look today and have an awesome fall… it’s my favorite!

Everything Nice

The ladies over at UmWowStudio have teamed up with 7 Dots Studio this month to bring you some awesome mash-ups of paper collections with chipboard and flair.

Check out my page made with the Messy Head collection!

 
I love the soft, romantic look of this paper line and it coordinated perfectly with the Our Princess flair and lots of chip goodness.

The “Love This” Polaroid is super awesome covered in crackle paint and layered under my photo.  And I misted the floral piece and circle confetti with Blush Heidi Swapp Color Shine… love that color!

I also added a smattering of red bubbles using the circle confetti mask. And of course a cluster in the upper left corner for balance.

Check out the UmWowStudio blog for more details on how I created this page and to check out all the fun products I used!
