Project Life is everywhere these days, in many shapes and forms. Whether you create full Project Life albums, a few Project Life inspired layouts/spreads here and there, or even simply working Project Life style products (such as Bella's new Daily Details papers) onto your everyday layouts, there are so many ways to incorporate this popular style into your designs. We are asking our designers to be inspired by Project Life, and show us how they work that inspiration onto their own pages.
"1st Easter”, by Jen Chesnick.
Bella's Candid cards make Project Life so easy! I even used the packaging as my 4x6 inserts. Sometimes when I print my smaller photos they don't always fit. To solve this I made a 3x4 card out of cardstock then lined the edges with the Designer Tape in Piggy Pink stripe then attached my photos. It fills out the spot and keeps them in place!
Supplies:
Molly: Borders, Candid Cards, Paper Pieces, Treasures & Text, Trinkets; Crochet Hearts: Punch, Pickle Juice; Designer Tape: Piggy Pink Stripe
Project Life 2014: Cover Page, by Katie Rose.
I thought the new Bella Blvd collections would be perfect for my 2014 Project Life cover page. I love the "adventures" card for the Max Candid Cards and wanted to highlight it on my cover page because I feel like every day really is an adventure! I used some designer tape paired with word stickers to go with pictures of the kids and then used larger photos of the whole family and my husband and I.
Supplies:
Lucky Starz: McIntosh Starz, Peep Starz, Gulf Starz, Candid Cards, Treasures & Text, Trinkets; Max: Candid Cards, Treasures & Text, Trinkets, Borders; Molly: Treasures & Text; Snapshots: Tabs, Captions, Daily Details; All American: Alpha+Bits; Designer Tape: Ice Stripe, Navy Dot, Chevron Combo, Polka Dot Combo
Project Life 2014: Week 4, by Katie Rose.
I use a mixture of Project Life size A and size D page protectors so I love the mixture of vertical and horizontal cards in the new Bella Blvd collections. I also used a mixture of some of the border stickers, designer tape and strips of patterned paper to embellish my own cards. And of course added several fun stickers!
Supplies:
Lucky Starz: Scallop Starz, Gulf Starz, Candid Cards, Color Wheel High Five Alpha; Max: Candid Cards, Paper Pieces, Treasures & Text, Trinkets; Family Forever: Borders, Family Photo, Treasures & Text, Trinkets; Molly: Borders, Treasures & Text; Snapshots: Daily Details; Designer Tape: Navy Dot, Red Chevron
“You Are My Everything”, by Nicole Nowosad.
This year at CHA, I noticed a lot of pocket style scrapbooking was moving to a 2x2” format option, so I thought I would use that as my starting point for this page. I used a lot of the papers in the new Family Forever line to great the grid like pattern and then went ahead and added my photos and some hidden journaling tags behind the photos. I love how this new collection still co-ordinates with some of Bella’s previous releases!
