Stuck On You Sketches Project Life Challenge

Hello and welcome to the first SOUS Project Life challenge of the New Year along with some exciting SOUS news!!

Whether you are taking on Project Life for the first time or 5th time a challenge is a fun way to stay motivated and inspired to complete a spread. One thing I firmly believe about this project is that you do what works for YOU. Maybe that's a 2 page spread per week, documenting monthly only or a quarterly wrap up of happenings in your life. There are no rules!

Before I get to this week's Project Life challenge let's talk about the exciting SOUS news...

beginning this month we'll be offering blog candy from some fabulous sponsors and our first sponsor this year is...

Scrap Shotz is a fabulous monthly kit club and online store with a great online community as well.

Here's the fabulous prize up for grabs...

and those PL cards aren't just for Project Life, I've made cards with them and used them on traditional scrapbook layouts as well! 

All you need to do is join ANY blog challenge of the month, Project Life, sketch or die cut and link us up to your project at the SOUS blog.

Now on to this week's challenge, Vellum! For this challenge I punched a 3"x 4" card from a piece of blue vellum with my WRMK punch. I then took the outside edges of the punched vellum and scored them with my scoreboard to add some texture. I rounded the corners and created a frame with the vellum on the lower left photo. I added snowflakes to reinforce the snow theme and finished off with a PL journal card and filler cards from the Clementine core kit.

I also used vellum in a different way on this page:

Here I've added punched stars from vellum to the title card and overlayed the bottom left filler card, which was a scrap of paper that didn't really work with the colour scheme, to make it work with the rest of the spread.

Vellum is so versatile so I hope you'll show us your take on this challenge at SOUS and be in the running to win this month's fabulous blog candy!

Thanks for stopping by.

Stuck On You Sketches Project Life Challenge

Good Morning and welcome to another SOUS Project Life challenge :)

This week's challenge is to use 3 label strips so I rummaged through my stash and discovered label stickers by October Afternoon and here's how I put them to use:

I placed them on the journal card and used SC stamps and a SN@P stamp on the labels. You could use the labels for dates or names or even journaling if you print small.
Have fun with this challenge and thanks for stopping by :)

Merry Christmas!!

Will be updating December Daily™2013 tomorrow [I hope ;)] in the meantime, wishing everyone a very Merry Christmas, Peace and Good Health to your families!

Regards...

December Daily™ 2013 #Day20

I was so tempted to re-do my handwritten journaling on this day as I wrote it when I was tired just before going to bed and you can tell by how messy it is but I decided not to because that's real life sometimes.

Thanks for stopping by!

December Daily™ #Day19

It's officially holiday time now that the kids are all off school until January!

Thanks for looking :)

I have room to move in my closet now that I've wrapped all the gifts I've had "hidden" in there. 

The kids are well aware of my hiding place however I threatened them with physical violence if they dared to peek ;)). 

Thanks for looking!

SOUS Project Life > Week 44

Hello and welcome to week 44 of my Project Life and another Stuck On U Sketches  PL challenge.

The challenge is to use a tabbed card:

{supplies: journal card Elle's Studio, paper, tabs, die cuts, frame Pink Paislee Portfolio}

The tabbed journal card in the bottom right pocket is by Elle's studio. I created the tabbed card at the top by layering a Pink Paislee die cut frame over the 4x6 pp hanging the "tab" portion off the edge and added actual tabs to the card as well.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

December Daily 2013 #Day5

Today is about Christmas cards, I included one of the cards we received which I cut down to fit the page protector.
