introducing : the Seafoam Edition

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

BIG WEEK OF REVEALS.

  8. Katy says:

    Love it! I have a husband and two boys so though I love the other girly editions, I tend to gravitate more towards ones that have a more masculine feel (though I’ve loved turquoise and cobalt anyway – just more my style anyway). I love this because it is lighter/brighter, but definately not too feminine. Great!

  45. Amy C. says:

    LOVE, LOVE, LOVE! And of course, a big that I will have to wait until November to order it. Might have to pick up another Cobalt set to tide me over in the meantime. And of course I can’t wait for the baby and school stuff! YAY!

  46. Amy C. says:

    oops! That was supposed to be a big “sigh” that I have to wait. haha.

  47. Nicole says:

  50. Connie O says:

    Loving this…Love the words and phrases on the journaling cards and the colors and designs are awesome! just might be my new favorite next to the Turquoise addition!

  51. Mandy Bopp says:

    LOVE IT!! If tomorrow’s designer is Ali Edwards, I will just DIE!!! Might have to remortgage the house so I can buy EVERYTHING!!!

  52. Nicole says:

    Looks great! I was wondering if I could throw out another product idea for you to roll around that marvelous brain of yours :) A tab punch like the one shown in her PL snapshot. I’ve been having a hard time finding that particular style and, besides, everything is better with the Becky Higgins logo on it for sure! Just a thought!

  53. Brenda V says:

    Orange is my favorite color and my son is a “clean line” kinda guy so this couldn’t be more perfect! thanks for letting us get a sneak peek. Will be setting aside money to get this kit for sure! Great design!

  54. Mary says:

    Absolutely fantastic!! Love it! Great job Elise!

  55. banu H says:

    I love Elise…she is so superbly cool and so is this design from her. GASP. Cannot wait till November. to be very honest with you, I was thinking of not buying a core kit for next year and just do with my stash…but with this design from Elise, I am going to be buying a core kit for SURE….:))) Thanks

  66. Julie Finch says:

    I can’t tell you HOW exciting it is to see Elise as the new designer, I randomly came across her blog in a google search for Project Life to get ideas! and I have been following her ever since. I love her style and I am so excited, for her, for you and for ME now! :-)

  69. Cindy Daversa says:

    I really really really really need to do this! Life’s too short to not Project Life it!

  70. Jen Kinkade says:

    I admit that I attempted PL this year and was a dropout b/c I didn’t feel like it flowed for me.
    BUT with the addition of this kit and Elise’s designs, I just might try again in 2013!! ;)

  71. Cindy M. says:

    Awesomeness! I can’t wait for the rest of the week to see all the new products! :)

  72. Jennifer D says:

    I’ve already commented on Elise’s blog as well, but I wanted to say how much I love the look of this kit. I think she has a great design style that works well for any kind of scrapbook album, and I am so excited that you’ve teamed up with her to bring that style to project life. Love it!

  73. Janice Hopkins says:

    My favorite color … love the design, love the color combo’s … hurry November!

  74. Sharon W. says:

    Man oh Man, I love this edition!

  75. Vanessa says:

    I am SO excited!! My wedding colors last year were seafoam, silver and gold (with pink). I have been wondering how I am going to use Project Life for my wedding album. This is it!! I just finished the Cherry album this weekend of my daughter’s 3month – 3 year professional photos. Need to add a few written details and it is done. Finished it in 2 hours. LOVING PROJECT LIFE!!!! (Our house burnt down in December of 2010 so I need to do many albums, quickly. This is the answer.)

  76. Denise says:

    As a mother of 3 boys (9, 13 & 16) Yeah! Love it!!!

  77. Jamie N says:

    Ack! I’m so loving this new edition! Its got such a great color combos and a modern feel. I love the chevron stripes.

  79. deveney stolk says:

    I am still waiting for my clementine core kit but I am definitely going to buy this one !!! I really really love it!!

  80. Julie says:

    This is FABULOUS! I love Elise’s design sense and this literally has my name written all over it. My business name is Celebrate Today and this will be a wonderful way to document next year because I can already tell it will be wonderful. Thanks for bring her onto your team!

  81. Alison says:

    Im totally sold on this design, I love it. I have 3 guys in my life and even on pages of myself I dont do girly pinks and flowers. I will be getting this one for sure. Cant wait to see whats to come tomorrow…tomorrows designer it would be so cool if it was Ali Edwards, love what she does with her project life album.

  82. Julia says:

    Any chance these new releases are going to be available in digital versions too??

  83. Jessica says:

    I LOVE this one so very, very much!!

  84. Teri H. says:

    I LOVE the colours and design of this one. I will be ordering some cards and papers…

  85. Lindsay says:

    ahhhhhhhhhhh. I’m so excited. I was just looking at my PL last night and was frustrated because I’ve been DIY’ing it and it has been taking a lot of time. Which is not the way that its meant to be. But none of the kits really “went” with my life. Becky changed how I record my life, but Elise has always inspired the way in which I do it…and now it’s going to be so easy and amazing! The two blogs I check every morning- no matter what. I almost diiiiiiieeeeddd. You have just made PL more accessible to the 20/30′s no kids crowd. Thank you!!!!

  86. Stephanie P says:

    OMG!!! I LOVE Elise’s style – I’ve followed her blog for a few years now. THIS is EXCITING stuff!!!Thank you for the sneak peak….can’t wait for the additional temptation tomorrow :)

  87. Monica says:

    I love this Seafoam! I am new to everything Project Life and this is just awesome!

  88. Will there be a binder also? Im curious what it will look like since Im trying to plan for next year already!

  89. Mary Smith says:

    LOVE, LOVE the color sea foam. It’s the color of my new scrap room! I know what kit I will be buying for next year! Super glad it will be available in November!

  90. Wow Elise! You hit the nail on the head with this one – it’s GORGEOUS!!! Love the colors and the designs and super love those dividers!!!

  91. Cathy says:

    Love this edition!

  92. Emily O says:

    I love, love, love this edition!

  93. Krista says:

    perfect design for our family! i’m the only girl… hubby and twin boys… frilly doesn’t really fit. THANKS!!

  94. Glynis in Mass. says:

    Simply gorgeous! Love the colors!!

  95. Allison M. says:

    Wow! Love Elise’s style and have been following her blog for a while now. I’d like to venture a guess at who might be the next designer and I’m going to say Ali Edwards. Can’t wait to see the next reveal!!

  96. Sonya says:

    I have a feeling I will own both editions this year again! Love this one!

  97. Michelle L. says:

    Loving the Seafoam Edition! I am a mother to 3 boys so this will fit into our Project Life perfectly!

  98. Suzanne says:

    I absolutely LOVE what Elise has done here – it is simply amazing!!! I can’t wait to get this edition in my hands come November <3

  99. Susan says:

    This style is not for me.Its a bit wishy washy. I like bolder colors. Hoping the other new addition will suit me.

  100. Kelly says:

    Absolutely love this design! Have followed Elise’s blog randomly since I found it about a year ago and just love how honest and fun she is, so this is such a perk for her to be one of the two new designers. So excited for this week and all the new reveals. Just found out my sister will be having a baby next year, so you can guess what I’m looking forward to. LOL

  101. Cheryl Balmas says:

    Seafoam…love the color and the concept it conjures up…foamy blue green beach water. Love. I’m just so impatient…November, sigh. I do like the hits of black with the neutrals. This will be a nice addition!

  102. Stephanie says:

    I love this collection! I am the only female in my family, so these colors are perfect for my albums!

  103. Rhonda Yake says:

    LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE it!!!!

  104. thearthurz says:

    Love this one!!! Fantastic!

  105. JillT says:

    You scored on this designer Becky. Have been loving E’s work (in all areas) for ages. Seafoam may have just sent this single, old :) scrapper over the edge w/ Project Life .

  106. Kirsten W. says:

    She dd an awesome job! I’m hoping that there will be a digital version of the seafoam kit, since that is my preferred way to do PL. Thanks for the inspiration!

  107. Samantha says:

    Love love love! As always – Becky great job and thank you!
    Sam in WI

  108. Danielle M says:

    I totally appreciate the “manly” edition, as I have a house full of a guys! I’m the only girl here, and it is hard to find really great scrapbooking materials that reflect a more masculine style. So thank you for thinking of the guys with this edition!

  109. Wendy Orme says:

    SOOOOO awesome..I totally LOVE this edition!

  110. I love this edition. Just this morning I was thinking it was time to buy another core kit and so I wandered over here to your blog. What a delight to see Elise designing for you! YAY! Love this collaboration.

  111. Whitney P says:

    You had me at chevron ;)

    This is so perfect for me and my Project Life…I have three boys (and a 4th, if you include the hubby, which I usually do), so I struggle to find products that fit in with our life. I love bold, but I also want my pictures to stand out more, with pretty papers and more subdued colors. Plus I love Elise’s style…win win right here! Can’t wait to see the next reveal, but I think I know what I’ll be using for 2013!

  112. Linda says:

    Totally love it! Elise ROCKED IT OUT. Love her style.

  113. Chrystal says:

    I really love this seafoam collection! Can you tell us if it will be available digitally as well?

    Thanks!

  114. Yolanda says:

    LOVE IT!!! Can’t wait to finally get started. I started one for the last 5 months of this year but it gets me in the pratice of following through.

  115. Holly says:

    Lovely! November is too far away!

  116. Stacy says:

    Thanks for not keeping us hanging! Love the word cards in this set.

  117. Donna M says:

    I have been following Elise’s PL since I started mine this year. I adore her Seafoam Design. It would be perfect for our family which includes 2 teens who don’t like frills:)

  118. Katrina H says:

    I’m loving this one! All the editions are so great, I’m sure it will be really hard to decide which one I want to get for next year.

  119. dawn says:

    WOW WOW WOW!!! I love this name and all the colors and fun words for the cards, reallllllly LOVING THIS KIT!!! There is mostly girls in my whole family but that won’t stop me from getting this one, it works for me!!

    SOOOOO excited to see what was new and can’t wait till tommorrow and see more. I love this time of year and all the surprises from you are finally revealed!!

  124. Tiara says:

    Becky, I am SO excited! I have followed this talented young lady for the past few years and LOVED reading her blog and seeing all her creativity spread across my screen! A must for next year will be getting my hands on one of these editions!!!!

  125. OH MY GOODNESSS!!!!! IM SO SUPER DUPER EXCITED ABOUT THIS!!!! I first learned about project life through Elise & absolutely adore her style that she uses!!!! I would have never imagined that y’all would pair up!!! THIS IS LITERALLY THE BEST IDEA EVER!!! Love!!!!!

  138. Sam F says:

    Love Elise’s style and LOVE this PL kit, so much. Love the colors, love the simple graphic elements, LOVE.

  139. kristy.lynn says:

    i can NOT even begin to express how thrilled i am about this pairing! i have LONG followed elise, and have ALWAYS loved her sense of simplicity & sticking to the story & pictures. while i LOVED the concept of project life, i never connected to any of the core kits, mostly because while they were lovely, and bright & colorful & all that.. they were just too busy for my personal style.. so having elise’s simple beauty combine with the concept of the core kits? GENIUS. i am so THRILLED you invited her to design.. i will be eagerly awaiting the release of this beautiful kit! :)

  140. stephanie says:

    I love it! Need I say more………

    S

  141. Raven says:

    Can’t wait to get my hands on it, this is the one for me.

  142. Darlene says:

    Just wondering if maybe Shutterfly will carry a new kit this next year? I like using them for PL. The new kits is wonderful. Thanks

  143. Kristi Blas says:

    I LOVE the colors and design. I am thinking about starting PL next year and am hoping this will be available in digital format.

  144. Jeanne M says:

    I am so excited to hear this! I’ve followed Elise’s blog for a long time now, and am a huge fan of her style. What a great collaboration this will be!

  145. Libbi M. says:

    I have been following Elise’s blog for a few years. I adore her simplicity when it comes to her style. You picked an awesome gal to style your next core kit. Can’t wait to get my hands on this one.

  146. Micki says:

    It’s gorgeous! I love the simplicity with the bright colors!

  147. Paula Oamen says:

    I love it love it love it, colours, patterns, words! I had a feeling that was her big secret..a hope really..love her style and design! Excited to get this one!!

  148. Carrie Alexander says:

    Please please please please let it be Ali Edwards who designed the other edition for next year!!! Please PLEASE!!!!

  149. Em says:

    How awesome you chose Elise to design one of your new kits!! She’s quite talented indeed and makes great yet very simple layouts.

    Can’t wait to find out about the other kit tomorrow.

  150. Ashley says:

    SHUT THE FRONT DOOR!!! I’m in love!

  151. Sarah Swann says:

    Well, I had my heart set on getting Clementine next year and now that’s shot! I LOVE LOVE LOVE Elise and stalk…I mean…follow her blog. This one is on the top of my list. I’ll wait to see what tomorrow brings, but I’m so excited about this edition! I’ll still have some of my Turquoise 3×4 cards leftover and those will meld nicely with this kit as well! Awesome choice of designer!

  152. Annette says:

    This totally rocks! I’m just thrilled!! Can’t wait to play with it!! I was hoping for something more graphic that also had pops of color. I love the diagonal strips, the text, the circles…it just looks awesome! Can you tell I’m excited?? Absolutely love it!!

  153. Melissa says:

    The last thing that I did on my lunch hour today was check my Facebook feed. The only link that I clicked on was the link to the newest PL edition/reveal. I have been following EJBC’s blog for a couple of years now and knew that PL was her newest addiction, so I was OVER THE MOON to see this announcement! ‘Could barely even wait to get home from work so that I could check out this post in “full size” on my computer screen!! Am NOT a big fan of the yellows/oranges, but I know that Elise is and could certainly “make it work” with all of the other design elements that I DO love. Honeycombs, ampersand, and aqua (okay, okay; SEAFOAM) – HELLO?!?! The only huge bummer is, as always, THE WAIT! Alrighty, gals; I’m steadying myself for the week’s worth of announcements, a/k/a the week that you tell me how much money I need to start saving and when I’ll be spending it. ;-D
    Congrats to both BH & EJBC for a lovely business pairing. :)

  154. Melissa says:

    Oh, and may I please request that Kristina Nicolai-White design for you? KTHXBYE. ;)

  155. Natalie says:

    LOVE!!!! Yellow is my favorite color. Aqua (Seafoam) is a close second. And I have boys. Love this!!! CAn’t wait to see the rest of the reveals this week, so I can start saving up my moola!

  156. Nolwenn says:

    I think this is my favorite edition so far ! I love the fact that it is not too girly, even if my household is composed of my husband as the only male figure lol

  157. Krystal says:

    I AM SO EXCITED FOR ELISE’S REVEL! I just ordered PL to start in the middle of the year. I wish I would have waited. I would love to see Noell from Paperclipping design. THANKS BECKY FOR HOOKIN’ Elise up!

  158. Jessica D. says:

    I love this version!! I had decided that I wanted to do a project life album all about our upcoming wedding – and this is perfect seeing as how our wedding colors are orange and blue!!! I couldn’t be more excited about getting this!

  159. angela says:

    You just used the word rad. Awesome!

  160. Jennifer says:

    Ditto that! I already use some of her things in my PL. She would make a great PL designer.

  161. Sue says:

    Love this kit and love it even more seeing it in action. What a great design. What an exciting week!!!

  162. Nicole says:

    I adore this collection!

  163. Brandie says:

    It’s funny you mentioned this kit being more gender neutral because I’ve approached PL a bit differently and am currently documenting our first year of marriage (June to June) in an album and have been thinking how I would love to do the same thing for a baby’s first year and as I was looking at this reveal I was thinking how it would be perfect for a boy or girl. I just might have to buy it and stash it away. :) Can’t wait to see tomorrow’s reveal!

  164. Sharon F CA says:

    Love the colors and graphic prints. I love Elise and followed her card a day project- was so clever and creative!! Congrats- cant wait to see tomorrow’s reveal!

  165. Jewel says:

    LOVE the colors, LOVE the desgins, awesome!

  166. Kathleen says:

    I am SO excited!!! I love the seafoam. I can’t wait to see the rest of the reveals! Thanks for keeping us informed! SO MUCH FUN!!!

  167. laura g. says:

    love these! love the colors!!

  168. Amy Bonner says:

    LOVE it!! Project Life just keeps getting better and better! I’m hooked, and I can’t wait to see all of the new designs and start planning my PL route for next year.

  169. Kathy says:

    Becky I just love Elise’s Seafoam kit and the name as well. I have been following her blog before she got married and am a big FAN of her project life style (thanks to you of course) for leading the way for us. Can’t wait to see the other designers however I’m definately wanting the Seafoam kit that’s for sure. You Rock Becky!!!!

  170. Ashley S. says:

    I LOVE this edition! It might beat the Turquoise Edition as my new favorite. Elise did such a great job. I’m excited to purchase this one. Thanks for the sneak peek!

  171. Rossana L. says:

    I can say that this kit is maybe the best!!!!! I hope to have the digital kit early!! (november is so far…)
    thanks for the seafoam edition!!!!! :D

  172. Jen W* says:

    Are you kidding me?!?’ these are almost my exact colors of my blog and in my house!!! YES! YES! YES!!! Woohoo!! Elise I am already a follower and fan of yours so this is just awesome and I cannot wait to get mine!!!’. So exciting! Congrats Elise!!

    Hugs!!
    Jen@www.beachmonkeys.net

  173. LOVE THIS!!! Was on deadline with a story today when my BFF called to say I had to check out Becky’s blog because a kit was made just for me … by one of my favorite crafty people no less! I had just started using “For the record” as my working title for my book about reporting in a small town … so while I’m excited to hear the news for tomorrow, and secretly thinking it’s Ali!!, I know this is the one for me – better get caught up on this year first! :) Love the enthusiasm here, as always.

  174. Kathi Z says:

    SOOOO Excited! LOVE the colors and designs! Hope you’re making a lot! My prediction is that it will be VERY, VERY popular!

    NICE!

  175. Mel says:

    Love Elise she has got style it’s true. Very excited to see who the other designer is.

    My only downer is that we never have enough stock of the kits here in the UK! Becky please get more over here!

    Thanks.

  176. donya says:

    LOVE this design so much!!! I’ve been thinking for months about how strange it was that Elise was not part of the creative team. Haha. And all along she’s been designing a kit in secret. It ALL makes sense now. :) Way to go Becky and Elise! Can’t wait to see the rest of the announcements this week.

  177. Nihal says:

    I have an idea who the next designer is and she is NOT Ali Edwards. She must be one of the other hype bloggers and there is only one name that comes to my mind.. I hope she will be announced as the next designer even though I have no way to purchase printed PL products (amazon and international website does not ship to Turkey)

  178. Molly says:

    LOVE THIS! been following elise since before she started PL, and I always look to her layouts for inspiration. will definitely be buying this core kit!

  179. [...] « introducing : the Seafoam Edition [...]

  180. Nicole says:

    I LOVE the Seafoam edition! I love the lack of frills, and at the same time I can see it blending really well with Clementine, which I am currently using. This will be awesome for my guys and to switch things up a little!

  181. I would love to design my own set.. I should for my own use :)

  182. IN LOVE!!!!!!! This is the set I’ve been waiting for :) Thank you. YAY!

  183. Keri says:

    Love this edition best!! Please tell me it will be available on shutterfly!!!

  184. Mel says:

    I love this!! Nice job Elise!

  185. Cathy says:

    Is the yellow in this a true yellow? I was disappointed with the Amber. Not a problem…I used it for our trip to Denmark and i love the system, but I would have liked a true yellow!
    Cathy

  186. Beth R says:

    This couldn’t be more perfect ! The ONLY thing I would change is that I would already have it in my stash. Ironically, I literally just bought the Turq Edition after waiting months and months for a restock. Now I must own this kit! it is stunning in color and the graphics and everything about it screams my style ! Oh my, now I will have an extra core kit. Thats not all bad.
    Will start saving for my own little Christmas present , not counting on someone else getting it for me this year !

  187. wonderful in its simplicity and its colours – definitely doing this project next year (this is my first year too ) I am also a graphic designer and I would buy and use this kit.

  188. Mia A. says:

    The more I look at this edition, the more I want to get it.. I was planning to order Clementine when I start work again after parental leave, but now I can’t maybe decide which one.. So maybe both X-D The colours are just right for my PL!

  189. Jennie says:

    I am absolutely in LOVE with this edition! Looking at it, it is like you created it just for me! All my favorite colors, patterns, everything! I am SO excited to use this kit!!!! Thanks Elise and Becky! Now I know what my 2013 PL will look like!!! :)

  190. Leslie says:

    I love, love, love the colors in this edition, but I wish there were more design/patterned cards and fewer “word” cards. Just my personal preference (and I know we all have different preferences!), but I just find the cards that contain phrases to be cheesy. Also, I tend to use Project Life to document big trips and events and not everyday life, so some of the words and phrases are ill-fitting to that kind of scrapbooking. I wonder whether there are enough patterned cards to still make buying this kit worthwhile… I’d like to get it! Perhaps with the patterned paper I can make it work.

  209. [...] I don't have a kit, but… When I started, all of the kits I liked were sold out. So I've just cut up paper I already had to fit in the slots, and put labels on them for a blank slate to write on. I've used old scrapbook paper (remind me to tell you about the scrapbook store I worked in, in college), water color paper, copy paper, my old paintings, junk mail, wrapping paper. Whatever. I've experimented with a few things, but there's very little I actually like the look of for the long-term. However! It'd be a lot faster if I had a kit, and I am so looking forward to the Seafoam kit. [...]
