2019 Project Life Plans & Title Page

Hi friends!

Welcome to 2019, a brand new year and the chance for new starts!

When it comes to pocket page scrapbooking, the end of a year is a bit like a full stop, or the end of a chapter.  A new year is a chance to choose a different approach, a different sized album, new products and I just love that.

The past three years that I've been doing pocket page scrapbooking I've used a 6x8 album and, while I loved it, I really wondered if it was time for a change this year.  

My journalling had also been in variations of the Avenir font for those same three years, and it was definitely time for a change up there.

So, what have I planned for my pocket page album this year?...

I've decided to jump right in and change up my album size to a 6x12.  I've decided on this Charcoal cloth album from Studio Calico, and since I generally fit half a year into each SC album, I've ordered two of them.  

I'd like to do a double page spread each week, but some weeks might be a single page spread if I don't have many photos. 

I'm thinking I'd like to try white borders on all my photos, I did start this in 2017 but got bored with it, so we'll see how that goes.

I've also found a cute new font that I adore.  It's still sans serif but has nice height and spacing between the rows... does that sound too font geeky!?

And I want to use more sequins, more lace and ribbon (and all the pom pom trim), all those fun things.  

And so, here is my title page for 2019 using the beautiful October 2018 Clique Kits travellers notebook kit.  The page includes a lot of the techniques and styles I'd like to use this year, and I'm pretty happy with how it turned out.

What are your plans for your 2019 pocket pages?  Are you starting back after a break, changing up your album size or style?  I'd love to hear your plans.

Thanks for stopping by today!

Hi Guys!

I hope you're Christmas preparations are going well, it's always such a busy time of the year!  It's only two days until our daughter comes to visit for the holidays and we're super excited for that.

I have a traveler's notebook spread to share today and it's definitely a fun one, since all this week Clique Kits is teaming up with Tombow to bring you lots of joint inspiration.

I received a pack of beautiful Tombow Dual Brush Pens and some adhesives in my Design Team pack this month and I had a play creating a mixed media background with them on this spread.

You can catch the full spread and details on the techniques I used over on the Clique Kits blog today.

November Pep Rally | Clique Kits

Hi guys!

It's Pep Rally day over at Clique Kits, and that means we're sharing one last project made with the November kits.

I've used the Seneca Falls main kit to create a project life spread for week 41 of 2018.

My title card is put together with a tag created from white cardstock, a stamped week number and the dates of the week printed from a document in Word.  I also used a little stitching and some ephemera pieces to finish this card off. 

If you're creating a PL spread but don't have any dedicated PL journaling cards, a tip is to look for a label that can add some interest to a white cardstock piece.  This The Good Life label from one of the patterned papers fit nicely onto some white cardstock that I printed my journalling on.

This month I purchased the November Color add on kit which features these beautiful script stamps from Avery Elle. They stamp so beautifully, and I'll definitely be using them in a lot of my upcoming projects.

One final little journalling card and I called this spread done!

Be sure to check out the Insta Hop over at @cliquekits on Instagram today to see all the fab projects shared using the November kits.
