Stationary Set

I love the gracefulness of Lori’s “Stationary Set” and Joy did a great job of capturing just that. I love that you can get such an intricate cut from this file. Joy used a variety of Echo Parks papers designed by Lori,  Hello Summer paper pack and a journaling card from This & That Graceful to complete her project. She did such a great job with this, thanks Joy! She has more details on her blog and you can check that out here.

Be on the lookout for some exciting news tomorrow!

Oh, and you still have time to enter to win the Becky Higgins Project Life Childhood Mini Kit Giveaway HERE. The winner will be announced THIS FRIDAY. Have a super week!

NEW Project Life Childhood Mini Kits

I have something truly exciting to share with you today. Becky Higgins and I have been working and re-working on a Childhood/School Project Life concept over the past several months/years.  TODAY, we finally get to show you the finished products. I can’t even begin to tell you how happy I am to show this to you!! I count myself blessed to have the opportunity of working with Becky. She really works hard to come up with simple, easy, and sensible solutions to memory preservation. I really hope that you enjoy using these kits just as much as I have enjoyed creating them.

At the bottom of this post YOU will have the chance to WIN one of these brand NEW kits.  So, keep reading on….

We have not one but THREE Childhood Editions to share with you:

1. Wellington Edition – Neutral Office Inspired Colors

2. Bridgeport Edition – Masculine Colors

3. Mayfield Edition – Feminine Colors

Becky made this fabulous video to give you a complete introduction to the concepts and history behind these kits. You can view that here:

Here’s a layout I put together for my daughter’s album using the cards from the Mayfield Edition… Can I just tell you how easy this was? Well, it was easy… the hardest part was trying to figure out what photos to use.

Here are a few photos showing more of the journaling cards. These cards include prompts that will help you know what to write about. When you know what to document it makes the task so much easier.  

So, there you have it…. an easy solution to getting your childhood/school years neatly bundled up in a book. I think I might be able to get my own children’s scrapbooks caught up! Yeah!! You can go read more about the Childhood Mini Kits on Becky’s blog HERE.

Who would like to WIN one of the Childhood Mini Kits? The winner will receive their choice of the Wellington Edition, Bridgeport Edition, or Mayfield Edition. Enter by Thursday, 8/23.

I’m trying out this handy new little widget for the giveaway. I’ll announce a winner next Friday. The more tasks you complete, the more entries you receive. Just click on the “do it” buttons and follow the instructions to enter:
