Scrappy Canary

Project Life Cover Page 2016 - with Karyn!

Hi Scrappy Canary lovelies!!

It's Karyn here today sharing the title page of my "Schultz Family 2016" Project Life Album.

I've used the January Pocket Life kit Roy from Scrappy Canary. This is probably my favourite PL kit so far. I love that there are lots of cards, and lots of black and white - very modern and versatile colours. I also love the pack of Kaisercraft die-cuts in the kit - just adorable!

I decided on quite a different look for this page and kept it almost scrapbook style. I started with a sheet of 12x12 cardstock and painted some yellow lines across the page as shown. I used acrylic paints this time - just some from my girls art packs. I love the thickness and vibrancy of acrylic paints, I just added a bit of water so it would flow to my liking.

Once the paint had dried (which did take some time as it was quite thick in places) I added a strip of paper along the bottom of the page. This strip was from some paper in the January Scrapbook kit Andy - a barcode strip actually! Then I added some accents from the die-cut pack, the sticker pack and the puffy stickers from the kit. I love the variety of shapes of the puffy stickers!

Next I cut the 12x12 sheet into 3x4 cards and replaced one of the painted cards with a card from the kit embellished with diecuts. I watercoloured the pot plant for some extra colour.

I love the simplicity of this page with the pop of colour from the paints.

Happy Crafting

12x12 layout

#lovethis Memory.. layout share by Michelle

Hey Canary Friends!! I hope you're all enjoying your week.

Have you managed to squeeze in any scrappy time? I've got the newest kits right here on my desk, ready to create something happy with! However, today Im sharing a quick layout I made with the previous Pocket Life kit - Jessica.

I ordered this kit, just for that floral paper in the paper pad! I haven't done any Project Life since this time last year, but the good thing about the PL kit, is that you don't have to use them just for Pocket pages! The papers and cards are perfect for layering up under photos, and by following a simple layout design like I have below, you wouldn't even know that there was no pattern paper under the photo mat!

I absolutely adore this photo of Leila. One of many taken by an awesome photographer a few weeks prior to Leila's 1st Birthday.

The quote was actually printed on the acetate cut apart sheet. Rather than use it in 3x4 card size, I cut out the strips of gold print and adhered them straight to the page

Simple embellishments gathered from my stash compliment the floral paper,

and a scattering of sequins finish off the page

Thanks for stopping by today! Be sure to check back regularly for more creative goodness from our new DT members!!

Happy Scrapping
