Project Life Giveaway & Freebie!

Today I have a special treat for you! Some of you might not know that I work with Becky Higgins to get her Project Life into the market. Well, I do. And if you’re not sure what Project Life is… it’s time you learned… this adorable video will explain it a lot faster than I can:

What is Project Life? from Becky Higgins LLC on Vimeo.

Just so you know, Becky just opened registration for her a Big Picture class called “Project Real Life”. If you’re interested you can read more about it and register HERE. I will definitely be attending and I can’t wait for the fun to begin on Oct. 4.

And, now for what you’re all waiting for… Becky is so generously giving away some of her new plastics! I’ve been very involved getting these produced and perfected down to the millimeter just for you. You are going to LOVE these new plastics! Even if you’re not doing Project Life completely, you could certainly incorporate some of the divided page protectors into your current scrapbook system. And, you are just gonna love all the new products that we’ve been working on to go with Project Life. My lips are sealed until I’m allowed to talk about it… but let’s just say… I think you’ll LOVE it ALL : )

Hopefully this will help jumpstart your fall crafting excitement!

Let’s kick this off with a cute little lunchbox note cutting file….

Simply cut a little stack of these and stash them in your kitchen. When you feel so inspired… write a little note on one of your handy pre-cut cards and tuck it into your child’s lunchbox. I fondly remember the notes my mother would leave in my lunchbox. Now, my daughter looks forward to these notes, too. Just watch out… you might get nominated “mother of the year”!

So Easy

Anyone that knows me, knows that hand making cards is just NOT my thing. They end up as clutter and turn into trash after I spent way too much time on them, so you can imagine my hesitance at making any of Lori’s amazing cards. Don’t get me wrong, they are BEAUTIFUL and inspire me as I upload them into the shop. And this week that desire to play with them over ran my clutter theory, and boy am I glad. These cards were so easy and fast! I think it took more time glueing pieces together than it did cutting everything, and it didn’t take that long to glue them.

I used a few of Lori’s files for these cards as well as her “Note to Self” collection from Echo Park. The “Birthday Button Set” inspired this round of cards. Originally it was just going to be one card, but I had left overs and some other patterns I was dying to try. I also used  “Card Base and Envelope Set 2” for the Birthday card. These are AMAZING. If you have not tried any of them head over to the shop and grab one, or two, or three ;). They cut out so fast and beautiful. For the star card I used Lori’s “Belly Band Cards.” I can’t say enough about how quick and easy these were. I definitely see card making in my future thanks to Lori. Glad she has lots to choose from. There is a bit more info on my blog if you need it… happy card making, Lisa
