.Babi's Project Life - Week 02

This week was more of a dominant colour, the soft pink. Some traces of orange and red cause of some of the pictures but, mostly pink.

I am using here the Becky Higgins Baby for Her Edition as you can see on some of the journaling cards. I tried on some others waterdolours effects and leave one wood veneer shape alone in one pocket to play around with transparencies on both sides of the same pocket page. Stephanie showed me that if you were wondering.

I do not remember exactly which challenge from the PL garden girls video was but she proposed volume on the spread, like the journaling she introduced into an envelope. Here, I made a replicate of a paper bag but 3x4 inches so I could slide in the flap my photo and my tab with journaling. I used the brown paper which came wrapping the Project Life box from Becky Higgins I purchased from Amazon to do the shape of the paper bag. I glued this thin brown paper onto a 3x4 cardstock to give it strenght and use it as a base for my photo and tag. I love the picture of my sweetie in her cow suit so I decided to highlight it using 2 3x4 pockets size in vertical.

A bit of the same I already explained plus stitches and rhinostones and stars here and there and voila', week 2 done.

Enjoy!

.Babi's Project Life - Week 03

I know, I know, it does not seem to be the best way to start a post about my baby's Project Life with the third week. It just happens to be the latest one I finished. I will post the previous ones everyday I do not have anything to upload. For now, I must say I have still lots to learn about scrapbooking since I started a couple of months ago. I am missing expertise on techniques, supplies, imagination I guess?, etc. So far, my favourite websites of scrapbooking have made me feel quite fulfilled about my learning process. Two Peas in a Bucket's videos are pretty much how I love learning... for now. 

So, on this layout I used the easy design A pocket pages from Becky Higgins. I have put into practice some of the challenges the garden girls from Two Peas in a Bucket propose on their own layouts. On this layout I wanted to use the repeated colours of some of the pictures as a constant for the rest of the spread. My palette then would be green, red and pink. 

I wanted to create contrast so, almost every picture would have the 3 colours counting the ones on the picture and the card frames or embellishments.I have fallen in love with the labels as a base of journalism for some of the pitures - Marcy Penner legacy from so many videos of her I watched in a 'marathon-of-two-peas-project-life-videos'. Not to mention how cool and neat and clear and nice my spread looks with a typing font straight on the tabs :-P-------

No words to explain how much Ania Maria Wolniak from Studio Calico inspires me as well. I decided to use here her 2 cards she gave away cause they matched perfectly my green theme on this spread.With all this, I tried to balance the amoutn and locatino of pictures with the coloured cards so, on each side you could find the 3 colours equally.The only kit I have used on this project life is the one from Becky Higgins Baby Edition for Her... and still enjoying it!Still, lots to learn to reach a little perfect detail from Stephanie Bryan but for now: Hope you like it!
