creative team inspiration: december edition

Wednesday, December 7th, 2011

Our Creative Team is already rocking + rolling with great inspiration. I love how they’re each using Project Life in their own, unique way. They are each so brilliant with how they each photograph their life + happenings + loved ones. Of course I love the end result – gorgeous and fun scrapbook pages that didn’t zap a lot of time out of their schedules.

NOTE: None of them have the new editions yet, but the same ideas apply across the board, no matter which edition you’re using. You will be inspired looking at their pages and pictures. (Yes, the Cobalt + Clementine Editions are coming this week – they’re almost here and I will let you know as soon as it shows up on Amazon.)

Oh – and did you hear? Since announcing that Ali Edwards and Loni Stevens joined the Creative Team, we have also welcomed Cathy Zielske as our most recent addition.

Layout by Ali Edwards. Notice how she implemented art into one of the 3×4 pockets.

…..

Layout by Deb Duty. I love how she included smaller pictures on a bi-fold card (unfolded and placed in a 4×6 pocket here).

…..

Layout by Jennifer Woodbury. It’s so fun to see Design G put to good use. Vertical + horizontal pictures in one page protector! This 10×12 size is so great for in-between pages when you have a lot you’re documenting for one theme/event/occasion and therefore want to include several pages.

…..

Layout by Liz Tamanaha. I love how she utilized Design E to enlarge a couple favorite pictures and capture snippets of loving conversation they have with the girls. Four, large, square pockets = clean design + fun, dramatic effect. I really like the Design E Photo Pocket Page.

…..

Layout by Marcy Penner. Part of her fantastic, eclectic look is due to implementing a variety of products in the details. If you have a stash of scrapbooking/crafting products that you haven’t used in a while, add little touches in your Project Life album!

…..

Layout by MaryAnn Perry. Check out the fun way she documented + displayed their Thanksgiving memories on this layout!

The 8.5×11 page protector is from We R Memory Keepers. The digital page design is Cathy Zielske’s Layered Template No. 95. The grey background on this page is digital paper from the Project Life Cobalt Collection.

MaryAnn used Design E and simply cut one of the 6×6 sections from the rest, making sure to keep 2 holes for placing in her album. On the back side of this, she stores a DVD that goes along with their Thanksgiving memories. (That is a self-adhesive disk holder from Avery.)

MaryAnn says, “Because neither of my little girls can write yet I decide to record a video of them discussing the things that they are thankful for. It turned out so cute and I wanted to include it in my album with the rest of the my thankful cards so I burned the video to a DVD. I used some of the digital paper from the cobalt collection and made a label for the DVD. I added a Cathy Z brush to the front of the DVD.”

Layout by Michelle Wooderson. Notice how she added little touches of different papers by simply punching circles and adding those. Such a great way to soften the bold colors that are part of the Turquoise Edition for her personal style.

…..

Layout by Monica McNeill. Look how easy it is to add “extras” in the rings, just like the Photo Pocket Pages. She simply punched holes in the little envelope to add. The right side of this layout (behind the 8.5 x 11 insert) is utilizing the Design B Photo Pocket Page for Monica’s vertical pictures. The smaller 3×4 pockets are perfect for the little extras. They don’t always have to be used for 3×4 Journaling Cards.
