State Park - MDSM80

Stampin' Up! has partnered with Becky Higgins (creator of Project Life) to offer a complete line of scrapbooking items.  Even though pocket cards are becoming more and more popular -- since it makes scrapbooking easier..... I had yet to jump on this bandwagon.  Not sure what my aversion to it is. LOL! 

When Stampin' Up provided a digital version -- I felt it was time to try my hand at it.

I purchased the 'Love Story' Project Life kit.  I was a bit surprised that they didn't provide photo layouts, so you could just drag and drop photos and embellishment cards into the layouts..... BUT, that didn't stop me.  I'm actually happy that they provided all embellishments (cards) in the form of stamp brush sets separately, so that I could utilize the stamps in however way I wanted (not just by pocket cards).

When I saw the MDS Monday Blog this week.... I was really looking forward to trying my hand at creating a digital version of pocket cards (Project Life).  The sketch you see above is a perfect example of what project life is all about.  You may view the MDS Monday Blog and the Challenge (MDSM80) here: http://mdsmonday.blogspot.com/2014/09/mdsm80-project-life-goes-digital.html

Creating the photo boxes was a bit time consuming for me.... making sure they fit the page with small borders and aligned perfectly, but I did it! =)  From there, everything was pretty much a snap to do. As I said above, I had purchased the 'Love Story' Project Life kit.... so I used that (and only that....which was a feat for me, as I tend to use stamps from different sources on most of my pages!).

Thanks for stopping by!
