#LittleSummerJOY Lesson 4: Day In Your Life

I can't even tell you how much this project means to me,

to be able to record in a traveler's notebook all the #LittleSummerJoy2016!!!! 

I am LOVING it!!! 

The outside pages for Lesson 4: Double fold out (both sides open) also called a tip-in for all you pro Traveler's Notebook/Planner fans! Supplies: Kellie Stamps(Slim Jim Alphabet), Clique Kits July 2016 Kit, Tsukineko Memento Marker (for Brush Script), Ali Edwards Time Stamp, Studio Calico (asterisk puffy stickers), Midori Traveler's Notebook Insert #2 (grid)

Inside pages both folded out: Stamps: Kellie Stamps , and Kelly Purkey,  Clique Kits July Kit

Close up inside left page: Tag pocket from Michael's Recollections. Placed the tags with three more photos in the pocket, close ups below...

 tag fronts...

tag backs

Used the marker again to hand letter the brush script title. Then Sharpie marker for the subtitle and journaling here. Took three photos from my Grand Canyon shots and printed all three at 3x4 so they would fit inside this fold out. We had over a 180* degree view of the South Rim here! 

Bottom right inside pages: kept the embellishments close to the photos since I had a total of two Instax, three 3x4, and three photos in the tag pocket, so eight photos inside this fold out! yay!

Thank you so much for joining me here today!

Hugs,

#LittleSummerJOY: Lesson 2 Hometown Exploring

This is such an amazing class! 

#LittleSummerJOY led me to explore a local desert demonstration garden 

and use my travelers' notebook to log 

an evening geocaching adventure with my bestie!

Such a great prompt and ideas from the 

LittlePaperProjects.com

website!! 

Both the geocaching and the desert demonstration gardens were a first for me! That is what is so cool about the prompts for #LittleSummerJOY, they get me out of my comfort zone and exploring new adventures and moments! More ways to be thankful for the everyday, the simple and the new joys this summer!

SUPPLIES: The Clique Kits July Kit , Project Life® Happy Place Journal Card, Digital stamp on the right photo from Kellie Stamps July Release

#LittleSummerJoy 6x8 Project Life Album Pages for Prompt 2

Clean and graphic design on the left to balance out the busier right side. 

The juxtaposition of the contrasting larger picture on the left and the tiny 2x2 photos on the right, 

is  from a design principle I like to use often; emphasis (Focal Point).

Supplies: American Crafts BeckyHigginsLLC Project Life 6x8 powder Album and 6x8 Photo Pocket Pages, Crate Paper:Poolside paper and embellishments, cork stickers:Turquoise Avenue Shoppe, and Amy Tangerine:Rise and Shine paper, WeRMemoryKeepers: Fuse Tool, vellum:office supply, sewing machine 

 I colored the office supply vellum with alcohol markers (Spectrum Noir by Crafter's Companion and Darice)

 Used a card stock template I made after measuring out the cut and seal lines shown above. This way I could cut first, then seal after removing the card stock template.

Close up to show stitching and embellishment detail.

I just love the way a project like this can help you try something new and think outside the box. Love it! I had never printed out 6 2x2 photos on one 4x6 photo paper before, and I loved being able to create a pocket page I wanted but couldn't find in store:)

My 6x8 Project Life Album for #LittleSummerJoy

So are you guys joining in with LittlePaperProjects.com and their summer FREE

series, called #LittleSummerJOY????

At first I was making this harder than it needed to be, and had a running internal debate with myself about what album I should use, what style, scrap or Project Life?? on and on

Then I realized...

It CAN BE ANYTHING I want it to be! To relax 

and use some new supplies I just bought last week at the Michael's

40% off sale on Project Life and Heidi Swapp supplies. 

First pages set the mood, because I really wanted to try out a clean graphic style, and realized I could combine the pocket style of Project Life with this scrap style by using the full size 6x8 pockets I made from some old 8x8 pockets I had laying around. Fuse Tool again at work here!

Supplies gathered from my large stash of all things American Crafts! Using the Amy Tangerine "Rise and Shine", and "Yes, Please" lines, and Maggie Holmes "Confetti" line and cork stickers from www.turquoiseave.com

Supplies: 6x8 Project Life album, and 6x8 photo pocket pages by Beckyhiggins LLC available at Michael's.

AC Maggie Holmes Confetti paper [ #683673] turquoise and chipboard embellishments, and Amy Tangerine Yes Please paper, and Simple Stories "I am" black chipboard frame.

Look for a process video coming up on Fri-yay Video Day!
