Project Life Week 22 - Studio Calico Atlantic Collection

Another layout to share with you all today is my Week 22 layout
This layout was featured in the latest issue of Life.Paper.Scrapbook Online publication

Ive used the Studio Calico Atlantic Range. If you haven't guessed yet, I do prefer to stick with one collection for each layout or a kit from a kit club. I do still occasionally use some Project Life Specific products with added extras from my stash. 

Loving the colours and patterns in this range. Im definitely going to keep pulling this lot out for other projects.
I ummed and ahhed as to if I would keep this card free of any journalling or embellishments, however there was more story I needed to add into the week and I thought it was perfect for this card.

The cork embellishments I have used are all from the Atlantic collection, the Pink Thickers are Amy Tangerine, and the black tape is from my SMASH labeller. 

The right hand side is very busy, but its documenting a lot of things from this week. I especially love the mini confetti pocket I made with the Atlantic sequins and some twine.

A close up of the middle 3x4 pockets. LOVING those glitter stars

And how lovely are those pink Thickers!

Hope to have more to share with you in the next day or so, just waiting on some better light to come through the windows. Still need to invest in that light box!

Project Life is a concept designed by Becky Higgins. It is a range that works anyway you want it to. You don't have to embellish your layouts or use any extra products like I do. You can easily record an album full of memories with just a Core Kit, bulk pack of page protectors and a 12x12 Album. I purchase all my core products from Craft House - Exclusive stockist for Australia and New Zealand. 

Project Life Week 21 - Studio Calico Card Kit

Finally found some time to sit down and complete some blog posts that I have sitting here. I am completely caught up with Project Life as of last week, so I have a few weeks to share with you over the next few days
First up is Week 21

For this layout I have used the Studio Calico Neverland Card Kit
The weather we have been having here lately is shocking! So these photos were again taken in bad lighting outside - I definitely think its time to invest in a light box of some sort - any suggestions ?

The left hand side features some stamping and mist splatters, both of which don't show up very well in this light. I am trying to go back to the less is more approach so have mainly stuck to enamel dots for embellishing and those Alphas I AM IN LOVE!! The Hello Friday card is from a recent card swap I participated in.

In this photo you can see a slight shimmer effect on the journalling. This is where I have used the stamp that came in the kit along with some silver momento ink.

Again more shimmery silver ink, on this card I used the lid of the mist bottle that was part of the kit and used it like a stamp all over the card to highlight the month and in random places.

For the right hand side I've used the High Five card for the title card. This came as a vertical 4x6 card but I have cut it down to fit it on the horizontal card with some washi strips. Very little embellishing on this side also. I think I much prefer the less cluttered look for the moment (I know I will change my mind in weeks to come) The mask I have used on the Demo Day card was also part of the kit. And yes, very sad that only 1 person showed up for my Project Life Demo.

A close up of the banners I cut out for this pocket were pieces of washi strips that i stuck onto white card to make them stand out more.

I hope you have enjoyed checking out this layout. I was certainly a lot of fun to create.
