Cricut Chalkboard Fonts Project Life School layout

Hello, friends!

Today I have a Project Life (Picture My Life) layout. This is the first time I have made a pocket layout. It was fun and made me think differently about scrapbooking. However, I still used my Cricut (to make a title card) because I just cannot make a project with out it. 

The Cricut cartridge that I used was Chalkboard Fonts. It was the ideal choice since the little cards I used have a chalkboard vibe. I also added a few embellishments to the title.

A few things to note about pocket scrapbooking:

1) It does NOT photograph well because of the glare from the pocket protector. I have seen this done very well on other blogs, but how they do this is beyond me. I took many many photos and this was the best one. Sigh...

2) I would never convert to this kind of scrapbooking as my sole way of scrapbooking. However, if you have a lot of photos to scrapbook, this is the answer! You can get a lot done in a small amount of time.

Cricut Art Philosophy Project Life card

Hello, friends!

Thank you so much for the uplifting words! You guys give me a reason to keep this blog going! You make my heart sing!

Today's card is a different take on using your Project Life cards. Here's the thing, I don't actually use Project Life cards because I prefer Close To My Hearts version called Picture My Life. The designs are superior and they actually coordinate with our patterned paper and cardstock. I love this because I can make cards and regular layouts using them with out having to sweat matching the colors. It is a no brainer really. 

I am actually late to the Project Life (Picture My Life) party because I did not see how they would work into how I already craft. Then, I saw some really great artwork made using them in many different way and I was sold! You might be thinking the same as I once did and that is totally ok. However, doesn't the sentiment on this card made me look like an amazing stamper? I didn't stamp a thing! All I did was add a few embellishments and a frame I cut using the Cricut Art Philosophy cartridge. Then I trimmed all of it to make it look fancy and askew.

Cricut Artbooking First Day of 4th grade scrapbook layout.

Hello, friends!

As most of you know, I do not make a lot of scrapbook layouts as much as I used to. I really would like to make more, but I seem to never have the time. However, I really wanted to sit down and do a little scrapbooking the other day.

This scrapbook layout is made using the Artbooking cartridge and more new stuff from the Close To My Heart catalog. One of the really fun things I used, was a Picture My Life (widely known as Project Life) card. It is the one with the bus on it. Love it! These cards coordinate with most of our paper lines, so it is very easy to add them as embellishments, journaling sections, or titles. Check them out by clicking here ==> Picture My Life
