My new MOD and Design Team adventures

Hello!  Sorry I have been out of touch lately... Life has been so busy, especially this Summer.  I am planning to be more consistent in share with you going forward. 

I'm excited to share two opportunities I have been blessed to be a part of recently.  First, I have been a part of the DT/MOD group at PLCS Project Life Card Swap.  This is mainly a Facebook Group we have a lot of fun in this group. The premise is to make and swap handmade PL ( pocket ) style cards.   If you would like to join the fun, follow this link and I can add you to the group.

These are some of my favorite Swap cards I have created over the past few months.

Coffee Break Swap

Summer Fun 4x4 w/ bonus 2x2

Into the Garden Swap

Sketch challenge swap

playing with Gelatos

Christmas in July challenge

Summer Sketch challenge

Monochromatic swap

4x4 Birthday Swap

Girlfriends challenge

Fashion swap

Wine Quote Swap

As you can see we do tons of different themes every month. 

The second Design Team opportunity I have been blessed to be a part of is with Unscripted Sketches. 

Every Saturday morning we post a sketch for the week. Flip the sketch, rotate it… create a project life card, a scrapbook page, a card or anything your imagination comes up with! There is no right or wrong way, as long as you are using the Unscripted Sketch as the inspiration and basis of your creation!

 This was our first Design Team Sketch and my interpretation of the sketch

 If you would like to play along with us at Unscripted sketches you can follow us on the Facebook page or on the Unscripted Blog

Thanks for stopping by today.

Checking in and sharing some PL pages

Hello Happy Scrapper,

Sorry I have been out of touch for a while.  I do not know where the time goes. It's crazy that it's May already.  

I'm stopping by to share some of my recent PL pages.   I have completed a few more pages in my 2013 family album.  Here are some of my favorite pages.

I am really enjoying PL style scrapbooking. I love that I can work on past photos without feeling the pressure of have to scrap daily or weekly as some do.  My goal with this style of scrapbooking is to preserve the memories of days past while enjoying the Now of my life.  My photos will still be there when I am ready to scrap them. 

Thanks for stopping by today.

Creating Your own Project Life style cards

I have been having a lot of fun creating my own Project Life style pocket cards lately.  I have recently joined the Design Team on Project Life Card Swap.  This is a fun group where we make and swap PL style cards every month.  You can check out the PLCS blog here.  

 For these cards I used some custom flair by my good friend Taniesa.  She sells Awesome flair in her Etsy Shop The Crafty Pickle These flair buttons are so cool, they are really flat so they fit well in the PL pockets. 

You can see how I created this card on the PLCS blog here.

                                

This card was created based on the monthly sketch challenge on the PLCS blog. 

I created this 4x6 card for the Nautical Theme Swap

This is a Twinchie card  (2x2) I made for the 2Cute Swap

I created this 3x4 card for the Black & White Card Swap

This 4x6 card was created for the See the World Swap

This card is one of my favorites.  I recently created this one for a Swap called "Picspirational" the inspiration was a Gold and Green photo 



I hope this post inspires you to create your own unique PL cards for your Pocket style scrapbook album.

My 2013 PL Album update.

I just spent 4 days scrapbooking in the mountains of Big Bear. I completed 36 pages in my 2013 PL album.  Keeping in mind my PL album is event based not daily or weekly.  This will be a heavily photo filled post.  I'm really loving this process, although I do not think it is a faster process as of yet.

 

Keep in mind I did not show every layout.  Some are just for my family and too personal to share in a public forum.  Thanks for taking a look and following me on this PL journey. 

Happy Scrappin'
