Now, on to the latest Project Life Challege!!!


There are so many ways to incorporate this challenge in to your Project Life spread or if you're like me and were a bit shy on the photos for the week, it gave me a great jumping off point to fill my pockets ;)).
One of my favourite techniques is heat embossing and so I pulled out a couple of stamps and embossing ink and powder to add metallic gold to this spread. I stamped 'hello life' and 'the facts', both Ali Edwards stamps for Technique Tuesday and gold heat embossed. The 4x6 sheet with 'the facts' embossed is a snippet of one of my "to-do" lists.
Here's a close up of the 'hello life' card which is a 3x4 Project Life blank card that I stamped with embossing ink then covered with gold detailed embossing powder and heat set.

The top and bottom right pockets contain cuts from WRMK Metallic Sheets. The top left card was cut from Studio Calico "All that Glitters" paper. The numbers are Thicker Chit Chat glitter letter stickers, small alphas/numbers are Teresa Collins Basically Essential Alpha Stickers.

That's my PL layout for this challenge, I hope you'll join myself and the entire SOUS Project Life Design Team in this challenge! I'm looking forward to reading your comments and feel free to ask any questions regarding my process or layout as well!!

Here's the entire blog hop line up:

Roses *October Afternoon*

Even though I often struggle with using this style of scrapbook paper I really like the October Afternoon Farmhouse line picked up some at Scrap Shotz . Sandy just got in the Sasparilla line as well and it's really cute!
Anyhoo...I had some photos of some roses I've had in my storage box for quite awhile and as soon as I got this paper I knew it was perfect for them! Here's what I came up with:


I misted the background with Glimmer Mist and generally kept thing simple. The banners are fussy cut from one of the sheets of patterned paper. I made a button tag with some of the buttons in the Miscellany die cuts and layered the "roses" title on a couple of miscellany die cuts. I added the Jenni Bowlin butterfly to accent the title as well.
Love how it turned out!

Thanks for looking :)
