It is our journey

We are already towards the end of the third month of the year, time flies really fast and have you guys captured and create any memories for the past 3 months? with Project Life, all that are possible!

Well, I am back again to share with you my project life spread for Week 6, 7, 8, 9 and Week 10.  May be not very details but I am sharing those week randomly.  I am very much into Project Life and I hardly scrap a normal 12 x 12 layout nowadays, everything is about Project Life.

Those who is very new and about to start involving yourself with Project Life, you might want to drop by at Papier and check out their Project Life latest promo and you can also join our weekly Project Life crop session every Saturday at 11:00 am. Their staffs and RDA are more than happy to guide you on how to start your first spread.

Furthermore, Papier has loads of new arrivals which are Project Life related and check out their latest additions from Echo Park Photo Freedom - these collection are awesome! not to mention a lot more brands are in store waiting for you.

Week 6, first page

My girl made this "Gong Xi" card for us, its written inside for Mommy & Daddy.  Precious, I don't want to throw this card and I decided to put it inside the 6x12 sleeves and it is just perfect. I asked her to colour the tittle on top, "For Mommy & Daddy" 

She also made these in school, orange hanging from that yellow thread, love shape using orange paper and her little hand on that black paper. These 3 things I combined and put them in the 6x12 sleeve and typed some journal on top. A few mistakes in my journal but I just leave it as it is.  The next time your kid came back from school with her art work, I suggest you keep them - those are memories and this kind of things we should appreciate. Our kids are growing and they will never turn back to be a small baby again. 

 Week 7, first page. Totally in love with this Echo Park papers and it is super perfect for my Project Life. Love everything just my type of colours!

Week 7, second page. Loving those arrow/chevron and colours. I make it so simple by adding just 3 pictures and mostly black and white and my journal are stamped. Voila! I am done. 

 Week 8, a little bit overboard with my weekly card but loving everything on this page.  Hey!!! I created memories! so be it. 

 again an artwork done by my girl from school and it is nicely kept in the 6x12 sleeve. Loving the bird. 

 she coloured the cat, her school work that she brought home and love what she wrote "i mia zara" means:  I am Mia Zara

 Week 9, first page. I used a 12x12 paper and cut them according to the sleeve sizes and can you see my attempt of typing randomly on the PL card (bottom right) and trying to form a LOVE shape which is of course not successful but I kept it anyway! Should try again next time.

A friend gave this doa and I "PLed" the doa.  Thank you!!!

 Week 10, first page. I used a 12x12 paper for this page and cut them according to the sizes of the sleeves and this particular week is so bright and cheerful! 

 Week 10, second page.  Random bits and pieces that I used, washi tapes, tiny flat back pearls, butterfly cut from Cameo and wood veneer love shape.

All my spreads I've made using the 12 x 12 papers from a different brand and you can spot my Week 7 which I used the Echo Park papers and not forgetting some of my Project Life cards are from the Turquoise kit. Some are just bits and pieces of products such as labels, wood veneer, beads, enamel dots, ribbons, trims, tabs and etc.  I am very particular on my photo journaling and I am still very much into typing my own journal using my "vintage typewriter" this time around I used my Adler TippaS script/cursive font. How beautiful is that?

So whats your secret of keeping your memories? Do share with us and thank you for reading my post and do come back to check out on other DTs projects' and have a great weekend!

Capturing the everyday life...Project Life

I am so in love with my ongoing project which is what else "Project Life"!!! Totally in awe with all the crafters, scrapbookers, memory keepers out there that are also involved in this Project Life/PL.  I love to see others PL as different crafters, they do different kinds of PL spread and so many possibilities with Project Life.

My last year Project Life was by month and when I flipped my 2012 binder I can't stop smiling looking at all those pictures and journals. It is precious!!!

Today I am sharing with you my Project Life from my Week 3, Week 4 and Week 5.

I love printing my photos and putting all of the embellishments, buttons, doilies, washi and everything I can on my page.  I know some of you Project Lifers out there love the clean and simple look, well it is entirely up to you...my spread are just a mixture of everything.

Don't forget to join our Project Life crops every Saturday at Papier, The Curve. You can get so much ideas and share loads of techniques. Happy crafting!

Project Life, Week 1

I totally forget to blog last week and here I am, we are at the end of the last week of January 2013 and we are going to enter the month of love - February.  Time flies, today I am sharing with you my Project Life for Week 1:  1st January - 7th January 2013.

 1st page

2nd page  

(I have a secret notes which I typed and put it in the glassline envelope, embellished with a circle doily and green/yellow twines) 

3rd page

I used a mixture of patterned papers, card stock and also the Project Life Turquoise Core Kit Edition.  I used some twines, rick rack, washi tapes, some stamping, a little bit of sewing and bits of embellishments here and there.  My journaling is typed using my vintage typewriter, I love it because it is so neat and the font is excellent.  I enjoyed documenting the everyday events and these memories will forever be cherished and thanks to Becky Higgins.

My December Project Life Pages

Hello! Everyone...

I am so delighted to share with you the first few pages of my Project Life for December 2012. It has been done about  a week ago, when I was asked by our RDA to show my December Project Life, I was thinking of the latest pages but ohhh boy, I am running out of cartridge and photo papers. Hence, my post today are the pages of the early month of December.

Previously, my PL was done using the 12 x 12 pocket sleeves, since Papier has a variety of Project Life sleeves I looked no further to try all kind of sleeves this time around. Below is the first introduction page of my December Project Life.

the first page, I used "Design I" sleeve

the 2nd page

My PL for 2012 was done monthly not weekly, hence I will make sure I have a special sleeve for that particular month.  Here a close-up for my December 2012.

the 3rd page, I used "Design H" sleeve and my washi tape are just perfect to hide those not a perfect photo taken and to avoid the content of my sleeves from slipping out.  You can spot those bits of washi tapes in my PL pages.

the 4th page, nothing fancy but I love to take picture daily, hence 90% of my PL has my daily routine pictures. Be it at home, with friends and etc.  On another note, 90% of my journal in my Project Life are typed using my "vintage typewriter".  I just loves the "typewriter font" but a bit of effort and kind of something different to me.

the 5th page of my PL, I used "Design F" sleeve.

A picture of my altered book pages that was done by my scrap buddies. You know who you are and thank you guys, I am over the moon with all the pages.

the 6th page of my PL

some close-up, not all pockets filled with photo but try to put some sentiments or just a simple and nice patterned paper will do.  Picture above is a simple die cut that was cut using Cameo.

"JOURNEY" - for me it means these are my "DECEMBER JOURNEY" 

another close-up, I also used some nice doily and glitter paper for this as I wanna show both pictures on the right and left next to the doily represent "pictures of loves". Love to her cousin and love and bonding between "mom and her dear daughter"

That is how I do my Project Life, there is no limit - lets get inspired and start and grab your first Project Life kit from Papier now. There are plenty of kits, binders, sleeves, adds on and etc to choose from.  Trust me you will fall in love!  

Lets treasure every moment and documents your daily or monthly routine through Project Life, you will be smiling 10 years later if you gets to flip through your Project Life album together with your family.
