Life Paper Scrapbook Love

Good evening lovelies... Last month over at Life.Paper.Scrapbook our Project Life challenge was to use instagram photos or even just square photos of your choice.  I maily used my Instagram ones as I love the great range of filters on in Instagram.
I have also used a gorgeous kit from Gossamar Blue.  I love all the cute journal cards in this pack.





This month over @ Life.Paper.Scrapbook our November Challenge is SELFIES... AND ALL ABOUT YOU.... so if you have not done a page on yourself.. now is your opportunity to get out there and take a few selfies. They dont have to be just face shots of  yourself.... it can be a out your challenges in life at the moment, your feet, your family, your work, something about yourself that you love or hate...... anything.. just all about you!!!!
I think it is a great challenge to get yourself out there and scrap yourself instead of all the family for a change.  Make sure you submit your take here by the end of November.  I cant wait to see what you all come up with.
And the generous November Life Page Kit that Gossomar Blue have donated is simply to die for...Make sure you go over and check out what you could be in the winning for!!!

Thats it for me tonight,.... I am off to plan my page.

Loving Echo Park Relections


 
Hi girls ... I have been so tied up with Project Life this year I have not had as much time to fit in layouts.. I do miss them.. and it was lovely to put this layout together using the lovely Echo Park Reflections Collection.. It is such a versatile collection.. Vintage... Masculine, boy, girl, Grandparents.  I love it.


I was going through my photos and this one I picked out as the filter I have used on this one was perfect.. Soft touches of greens, blues and a touch of vanilla.
Someone pointed out to me that I have actually used 9 different papers on this layout.. Ohh I do love the layering but I have indeed used 3 different shades of card stock and the other printed paper from the collection.
I have added a few mini alpha letters to the crossword.. love that... and a strip of fine hessian under the title.



I had lots of paper left over as I had the whole collection so I put together these two little cards for a special occasion.. I have lots more left so I am going to pop another layout together or even make a few Fathers Day cards.



The card below I have added a splash of Heidi Swap Color Shine which is stunning... a Tim Holtz button, Freckled Fawn Potty Peoples and twine.. Love how the Echo Park Stickers look so gorgeous all together..


There is a few papers that are perfect for Project Life too.. Add a few natural looking embellishments or Wood Veneers to the pages and your pages will shine!!!

Thats all from me today.. I have a day off and I am happily sitting in an air conditioned gorgeous cafe about to edit some photos for my weeks I am behind in with my Project Life.. 

Keep happy and love life to the fullest

So excited to announce that issue 3 is out now. It went up in the middle of the night due to my stellar internet connection here.

We also have two great articles about project life from Ruth and Aimee and the lovely Jen Ritchie as our featured designer. 

I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed putting it together. 

You can see the issue HERE
