This is the late blogpost of the Project Life Update for June. In fact, I have not been keeping up with my Project Life since then. Although many says keeping up is a fantasy, I still wish I can keep my system as simple as possible and my space as organised as possible so that I can be efficient and save time. Currently I'm working on my Midori Travelers Notebook for my second Adelaide trip, and my Week In The Life album . I'm super excited about the second one , because I love the photos I took and i got a new printer recently !
So here is the layout -

I hope to update you on my Midori notebook and my WITL album soon !Thanks for stopping by!
I love the colors of the photos I took during my Taiwan Trip this Summer. Apart from the Midori notebook in which I document them in (Which I shared on my Instagram previously) I'm also adding them into my Project Life album .
Here is the layout -
Here are some close ups. What can be a better color combination than Pink + White + Gray + Gold
Today I share the third and last sprees of my Adelaide trip 2015. I remember the first time I went overseas to New Zealand , I was so excited to scrapbook them that I had done 2 full 12x12 albums full of photos and layouts . Complicated layouts . Then the second time I travel was to Adelaide , same old 12x12 layouts in 2 large WRMK D ring binders . Then I get tired , so I downsized to 6x8 album in 2013. But I need 2 of those chipboard ones (which had a thick spine ) from Studio calico and some mini Heidi swap memory files to finish scrapping all the photos . By 2014 I was determined to keep everything in a 6x9 basic grey album - didn't happy at all . In fact up till now I still haven't scrapbook that .
In 2015 , i was introduced to Midori travelers notebook and decided that it will help me ease the stress in scrapbooking my journey . So here I am , Scrapbooking in the travelers notebook on the go and come back to print the photos larger in m project life album. If there isn't enough space to print all , I don't mind printing a simple larger size photo book (I did some from Artifact uprising )
I'm continuing my sharing of my Weekly Project Life spread for June traveling month. On a side note, Kelly Purkey was on the latest PaperclippingRoundtable talking about 6x12 project life :) Do listen!
Okay, life happens. The last time I check, the project life post was back in 31st May. My apologies. I was so caught up with life and other scrapbooking projects. These few days I'm coming back to share some of my Project Life pages for June , which is the month that I was traveling. Although I had scrapbooked these in my Midori Travelers Notebooks, I still do a weekly spread in my 6x12 Project Life album, so that the album has a wholesome view of my life (or else, June will entirely not be inside)
There are a recent uproar of the use of the Fuse tool. I myself bought one from Simon Says Stamp once I saw it on the sneak peek in this year CHA. Only after 3 months did I receive it from SSS, probably due to the high demand and low supplies.
I have tons of ideas i wish to try out with this tool, say triangle pages, and creating my own page protector design from a plain 12x12. What bugs me is that, I will not be able to manipulate my pages after I weld/seal the pages. What happen to the back side of the pages? What happen if I have extra photos to add? What if I want to shift the photos around ? So I put it off for a rainy day.
I finally pluck up my courage and took some really old page protectors and sit down for a good hour , planning how to cut and weld the pages so that they remain manipulatable. It took about 4 tries to get things right. And I'm happy to say that I finally SUCCEEDED in changing a 6x12 full sized page protector into one that have Eight 3x3 square pockets :)
Click on the pictures below to go to the shop which sell each of the following fuse tool. They are essentially the same, but differ in color :)
Here is a short (speed up) process video that demonstrate how I put these pages together.
