Project Life Tuesday Week 6


Oh how the weeks seem to be passing by so quickly !!!!

I love nothing more than sitting at my dinning room table each Sunday for an hour and working on my Project Life Spread.. There is something so therapeutic about the whole process ..

Here is my spread ...








One thing I have learnt with PL, there is no right or wrong, just go with what's inspiring you at that moment ..

Even though my spread looks different each week in terms of colour and core kits used, there are a few things which I have tried to keep in each spread .

  • 2 4x6 photos
  • 4 smaller photos which I cut down depending on the card I am going to put it on .
  • I stitch on at least 2 of the cards.
  • I try to mirror the embellishments I use on one side onto the other..

So how about you, do you follow a theme each week ??? or do you go with what's inspiring you at the time ?? I would love to know :)

Project Life Tuesday Week 5





This weeks spread was most made using Studio Calico's Cuppa kit .. I love the gold embossed card ..

I like that each week is different and represents what I am loving right now, in terms of colour, establishments and quotes ..

And the little touches of stitching are my favourite technique ..

Here are a few close ups !!





What's your favourite thing about Project Life ???

Project Life week #4





 My week 4 Project Life Spread...

The majority of this spread is made using Amy Tangerine "Cut & Paste" kit..  You may notice that there are 2 cards that aren't quite finished, that is because I decided to stitch those using Amy Tangerine Embroidery Kits ...

Here is the before .....



And after...



I have one stitch left to complete this lovely camera image...

I love stitching on paper , something so therapeutic about it. I usually mark out the template and then stitch them when the girls are in bed .. 

I think they add the perfect finishing touch ..

Here are a few more close ups..





What techniques do you like to use on your projects ???

Project Life week 2


Happy Monday ...

Last week I shared with you my reasons for starting Project Life and the basics what you need to get started ..

This week I am sharing with you my week 2 spread ( I just finished last week yesterday , but currently working a week behind).

I am really enjoying the process, capturing those everyday moments, collecting memorabilia and putting everything together ..




I used my blush core kit and Amy Tangerine's Cut & Paste Project Life mini kit..

I love to stitch on my projects and trying to incorporate into each spread ..

Here are my favourite cards ..




How cute are those bows ???
