#ProjectLifeCreativeTeam2016 First Creative Team Post

Super excited to share my first Project Life® Creative Team 2016 layouts!

Title Page for 2016 Family Album: Project Life® Everyday Edition, Becky Higgins LLC. Photo Pocket Pages Design F, Kellie Stamps Digital "New Year 2016" set, American Crafts Thickers

Week One January: Project Life® Everyday Edition, Everyday Edition Stickers, and Becky Higgins LLC. Photo Pocket Pages Design A, (Happy New Year: napkin from Target)

Simply used a 4x6 Project Life® card as a template to cut the napkin from Target! Love that the pockets of your PL pages can hold ephemera, and they are separated from the photos, so you can place anything in the pockets without worry of non-archival items touching your photos!!  LOVE!

The kids even save ephemera and ask, "Do you want this for your Project Life® book?" Why yes, I do! 

Thank you for visiting today!

Ten Creative Ways To Use Digital Stamps: Idea Six and Project Life Week 45

For today's idea, I used both new November Release sets from

Kellie Stamps!! 

IDEA #6: MASK IT!

One of the awesome things about digital stamps, or png files, is that you can create a clipping mask and change the shape of anything you want to layer over it!! This would be labor intensive to create with physical product, but it only takes four steps in the digital realm!

 See that "Sunset" word art? That is a digital stamp from Kellie Stamps, and I used the PNG file you get when you purchase the set, to make a clipping mask.

Step one: Open or create a 6x4 inch file in Photoshop as layer one.

Step Two: Open your PNG (digital stamp) file as layer two.

Step Three: Open your selected photo or pattern as layer three.

Step Four: Hover you mouse in between the photo layer, and the stamp layer in the layers palette, and right click to bring up pop-up menu and select "Create Clipping Mask".

That's it!!! Save your file to your computer , and you have a custom clipping mask with your desired photo or pattern behind it!! Love this about digital stamps!!  So RAD!

Project Life Week 43 Using the New Everyday Edition!

Love the new Everyday Edition of Project Life®!

It's a beautiful, minimal design that is clean and fresh!

 Week 43 Supplies: all Project Life Everyday Edition, and one embellishment from the Shoppe @TurquoiseAvenue.com

The left page is Design E by Becky Higgins LLC, with room for four 6x6 photos, and it is such a great pocket page that makes a big impact! Added my text in Adobe Photoshop before printing at home on 8.5x11 Canon Photo Plus Glossy Two paper.

The right side is Design A by Becky Higgins LLC. Ran the journaling cards through my printer after making a text box in Pages to fit the cards. Love that black and white 3x4 card with the days of the week, oh I love this whole edition! It's got gorgeous colors that just seem to go with your photos!
