My Project Life 6x8

Fast forward to July. Some fun cards in the Studio Calico kits this month - like the July kit out. It's winter here, but I can dream about summer!

My Project Life 6x8

And here's the last spread from June. Lots of fin colours and patterns this month.

My Project Life 6x8

Here are another couple of spreads from my album. Still using my Studio Calico kits here, although I'm planning on a different approach for next year - more about that later ;)

Not sure where the year is going, but I'm keeping up to day with my album. Here's a spread from June, again using my Studio Calico kits.  I recently started a subscription with Ali Edwards' Story Kits and am really impressed with the kits so far. Will share some layouts soon:

Time for another couple of spreads using Carolina Moon PL kit from Studio Calico. Love the colours this month:

Oops sorry for the lack of posting. I have been creating but work has been crazy busy and I just haven't had much time to write up posts. Must find a more efficient way to blog!
Here are a couple of pages from my May album using Studio Calico's Carolina Moon kit.

More cards

Needed a few more cards for my stash so used a few Project Life kits supplies for these. Quick and easy! These are mostly Gossamer Blue kits, with a few extras from my stash.

Pretty pleased with how these turned out.

Here's the last spread from April. The left page shows Anzac Day.  I went to a Dawn Service for the first time in several decades! However, it was the Anzac Centenary so one of the times that I really wanted to attend.

It was an amazing service in the Domain, followed by a run with my running group (several of whom also attended the service).  A really memorable way to commemorate the 100th Anniversary of WW1.

I found a great poppy stamp in my collection for this spread.

On the right, are some more everyday type moments.   I was able to use one of the cute cat wood veneers from the Seven paper Baxter collection for one of Tortie's photos. I have a few more to use in coming months!

Time for another spread from April's PL album. I had a trip away to Christchurch which was great fun.  Here's more of Lisse Street - great colours!:

Got a bit behind with my PL album as work has been super busy. But here is my first spread for April. Another great kit from Studio Calico - Lisse Street:

The stamp set this month is going to be very useful. I just liked the idea of using the whole set and stamping it all at once - to give an impression of how busy my month has been!

More cards with Project Life supplies

I've been continuing some recent card making as I badly need a few cards for my stash. Here's another one which uses some Gossamer Blue PL supplies. I'm really please with how these turned out.

Cards with Project Life supplies

I've ended up with some spare PL cards, so thought I'd make a few cards for my stash. Here are a couple of 'just because' cards that I can send to friends overseas.  Both use supplies from Gossamer Blue:

Love this spread - especially the see through pocket with heart embellishment. A great idea I got from Tracy Armstrong - check out her blog here.

I've been hoarding lots of travel related items and cards and embellishments which are more suited to the Northern Hemisphere winter Christmas. Love how this spread turned out. Again, Studio Calico's Far Far Away kit provides the basis for most pages:

Lots of favourite pages in this month's spreads. This is a continuation of my trip to the UK and Europe. Studio Calico just released a Europe stamp and die which was the perfect accompaniment to the record of my travels:

Well, on to my January album now. I've really been enjoying the Project Life process in 2014. My album is just about those simple, everyday moments - the kind you might not remember in years to come but which are really the basis of life.

When I saw this fabulous transparency in the Far Far Away kit, I knew I wanted to use it for my 2015 title page. Was originally thinking of layering it over a photo, but I love the look here:

Oops, still a bit behind in getting photos of my December album up. Here's one of my favourite pages  with a pic of my cute niece. I'm using Studio Calico's Park Ave kit. Busted out the sewing machine for this one!

My Project Life 6x8

Here's another spread from my December album which shows the transition from summer to winter! The colours in the Park Ave kit worked well for both.

I'd also been stockpiling some cards and embellishments from previous kits that would work well for cold weather pages. Love the tape!

My Project Life 6x8

Phew, getting caught up! On to my December album pages now. These feature Studio Calico's Park Ave kit and add-ons, plus some items from a December Daily kit. I decided not to do a separate DD album but to include extra pages in my regular album.

The first couple of spreads are in the NZ summer, before I hit England for the winter! Lots of things going on, so no shortage of photos this month. I included a few instagram pages so I could fit in a few more pics.

My Project Life 6x8

Well here's the last couple of pages from  November. Really enjoying project life and the kits from Studio Calico. Certainly makes memory keeping very easy and enjoyable!
