[BONUS] Project Life System Day 6 - Kitting up a project life kit !

SURPRISE ! I'm adding a little something to my project life system post today! I'm sharing how i kit up a project life kit for myself! 

After finding that a studio calico kit really works well for me, i decide to go on and try to pack a kit for myself, adding embellishments that i find myself using from the studio calico kits, and eliminating those that i don't use. Of course, i'm adding stuff i put into the spreads but are out of the kit. Then, it became my own project life kits!

I started off by flipping through the project life cards i own.

I pick out some beautiful phrases card

then i pic out some journaling cards

Finally some background design cards which i can either choose to journal on or leave it like this or i can even add photos over it. I also love the transparent element that i share yesterday, hence i cut some Hambly transparency down into 3x4 . I repeat the process for 4x6 cards.

First example

This is the first kit i packed. YUMMY? :D hehe, i love love it!

There are about 36 3x4 cards and 8 4x6 cards

I added some stickers, small embellishments and etc

These are the cards

2 rolls of washi tapes

some flair buttons

and some wood veneers

Second example

I managed to find an alphabet sticker that is a small size, almost 4x6

I also think of some other products that is suitable to fit into this small cute box

Some other suggestions are these

From basic grey captured line

Dear Lizzy

Amy Tangerine Cut and Paste Line

Some close ups

Again, my favourite flairs and washi tapes

Where do i put the kit when i'm using it?

Well, I have this RATIONELL Waste sorting bin  from Ikea 

I dump the entire kit into this small bin while i'm crafting

I hang it on my trolley that sits beside me when i craft 

Awesome eh? :D

Currently the kits are sitting here nicely in my expedit

if i need to use them, i just use one of the bins and craft into them :)

Scrapbooking with Country fair kit

Last week I was playing with the Papermoon kit 

from studio calico

It was lots of fun so i decided to give it a try again

But this time round i didnt stick strictly to the materials i have on the desk

and i didnt cut it all up

here are the materials i pulled

And i will come back tmr to share with you the layouts i made :D

Stay tune! :D

~~ Happy with the results!

Yay! These are the results

I have altogether  

- 1 double page spread

- 7 single page layout

- 2 cards(forgot to take pictures ><)

And here goes :)

This is my first time trying to make a double page spread

not too bad

but because i dont have enough landscape photos on hands

maybe changing the portrait photo to a landscape one will be better :D

 Trying a clean and simple one

saw some gallery photos at SC 

many scrappers also use this backgrd sheet to create sort of a starbust feeling

i use mainly the boarder stickers

also some scrap stripes of pattern paper with 

American crafts knock out boarder punch

and yay! I love how this look :D

Used some of the lines as journaling lines too

splatter some mister huey white gray and dewey colour

This die cut piece is really cool 

Docking Maneuver from October Afternoon

I tear off some of the numbers like coupon 

and back it with a black cardstock

added some SC wood veeners 

This layout have no journaling yet

waiting for the boy to do so :D

Love the Technique tuesday sentiments stamps

I'm not a fan of coloured cardstocks

I usually use cream, grey, black, white and mostly kraft

i think this is my first try with a blue cardstock

I think i'm loving the scattering of  the wood veneer stars on layouts and cards recently

i think it give dimension and details to the layyout

Here i also used the heidi swapp colour magic alpha stickers

cool right? I can use one set to create 3 shades of colour

just by running some distress ink over it :D

This layout is based on Shimelle laine's 4x6 photo love class on two peas 

I mean , i just love this class so much

it allows me to scrap many photos into one layout ,

quick and easy :)

Especially when i have a huge project deatline to meet :)

As you can see, i love polaroid haha

and as i dont have sewing machine

i think adding twines across the alpha stickers is a good way to add a little touch to projects :)

twines are then secured by brads

My favourite layout in this stack :)

And favourite photo too

It's taken at new zealand at lake tekapo :)

beautiful sky isnt it ? 

 I trim the journaling card from Smash

 and added a sentiment stamp from the MME set

also a boarder stamp at the top

Customising journaling tag like this is a great way to personalise your own embellishment :D

oh i so love the flimstrip stamp!

And the date stamp from Dear Lizzy Neapolitan collection 

That's all for now !

I will come back with a second batch of "creative stash diving"

I'm so enjoying this process :)

Creative stash diving with Studio calico kit!

I recently got a chance to take part in this workshop by Shimelle laine

And here is my honest process of how i apply it into my scrapbooking :)

Here is the supplies I have chosen 

and i'm going to make as many layouts as i can using these

I have chosen the papermoon kit from studio calico

and added a few kraft and white cardstocks

 Here are the pattern papers

And the flipped side

I added the Heidi swapp color magic alpha stickers

(i love it! it's perfect for me because i can customise whatever color i want them to be !)

I also added the tim holtz tickets 

and some SC wood veneers
