I am completely thrilled to introduce one of our newest graphic designers – Elise Joy Blaha Cripe!
If you are even remotely familiar with Elise’s blog you know she’s amazing in a million ways … and you know she is a Project Lifer (yippee!). Project Life has been a new thing for Elise this year, documenting her journey which is full of creative projects + decorating their new home + gardening + married life + all sorts of adventures. I have been so drawn to not only her way of capturing slices of life but also her sense of design. The girl’s got style.
Elise has designed one of our new editions for 2013 and we are both super stoked to share with you a few sneak peeks of … the SEAFOAM EDITION of Project Life!
Elise had a chance to play with her own Project Life cards as she incorporated them into this past week’s layout (she does a week-at-a-glance documenting in her Project Life album).
Just to note a couple things that you’re seeing here: It’s a layout using Design A Photo Pocket Pages, but on the right side you’ll also notice our new Design J which she has sandwiched between the 2 main pages. Also – that bright pink peeking out from behind (close to the spine)? Elise actually painted those stripes onto one of our Scrapbook Dividers. You can see more about that here.
Sooooo …. YUM, right? Don’t her designs just make you want to scrapbook? Be sure to check out Elise’s blog post today as she is announcing this big news to her readers … and be sure to leave her some love and tell her how much you adore her designs – either here on this post, or over on her blog. : )
{ worth noting } When we were in the early design phase of this edition, I asked Elise to avoid any pink, any flourishes, any damask, any anything that would be “girly”. You know why? Most of us have guys in our life, right? Our husbands, sons, whomever. Is it possible they would appreciate some pages without the frill? Do you see where I’m going with this? The Seafoam Edition will be so rad for creating an album – or at least some pages – for HIM. And the best part? It’s so totally perfect for most of us girls, too. Hello, versatility. I am personally so excited to use the Seafoam Edition cards for all sorts of scrapbooking.
{ coming next } The best thing about releasing 2 Project Life editions at the same time is that we try to make them quite different from one another. So maybe the simple/graphic/modern look isn’t totally your style. Maybe you prefer something more feminine. Tune in tomorrow for the next big surprise. I have a feeling there will be additional squeals about who designed our other 2013 edition, and what her Project Life products look like.
{ arrival time } We anticipate the new Seafoam Edition – as well as the other new edition (sneak peeks on the blog tomorrow) – to become available sometime this November.

This is just the beginning of all the fun we’re going to have all week long on my blog with the
