I can honestly say that this has been my favourite Project Life layout to work on for 2014. I love the kit, the colours, how easy it came together, the way the lettering 'pops', the patterns on the cards, pretty much everything about it makes me smile.
I was lucky enough and ever so grateful to receive some of the Azure core kit in my goodie bag at Camp.Paper.Scissors and fell in love with it immediately, so obviously I was quick to use it and get it into a spread.
There were a few discussions at camp about whether or not we like to use our own handwriting on our layouts. I've always preferred to type my journaling as I like things consistent and neat (yes a little OCD). However, as my youngest was busy playing on my iMac, I decided I would step out of my comfort zone and handwrite on a few cards. Not so bad, I coped lol!
I was a little short on photos for this week but found I had plenty of other fun things to use. My eldest, being such a sweet soul, gave me a feather... That went in. We had been watching The Block and he had made a funny comment about carpenters... That went in. A hilarious little guy on YouTube made me laugh with his message to Mums... That went in. A Facebook status about an unwanted visit from a pesky rodent... That went in too. I find there are always ways to fill the pockets even if I haven't been snap happy during the week. You just have to think outside of the box ;)
Anywho, I'm off to catch up on some blog reading and snuggle in my cosy bed while watching some Real Housewives...
Sweet dreams guys :)

DeleteThanks so much Sue :) I often wonder if my pages are too busy but I just can't keep it simple no matter how hard I try. I really love the clean and simple look but struggle to do this when it comes to my Project Life. Oh and Minecraft, don't get me started lol... I have two little addicts in my house, especially my youngest. He would play it all day, every day if I let him lol.
This is beautiful.. I just got the Azure kit for a album I am starting for my daughter of her school years. I love the butterfly cork, and heart mug. Where did you get these? I would love to get a few things to add as embellishments in her album. Looking forward to seeing more of your pages!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Valerie :) The Azure kit will be perfect for your daughters album, Im sure it will turn our lovely. I actually got them from the US and they are thin wooden veneers and can be found here…

Diana is lovely and I'm sure that she would be more than happy to help you out.
Bella - just a quick note to say how much I LOVE these pages! I designed Azure and was doing a little googling to see how people are using it and your knack for merging the more "traditional" style of scrapping with Becky's super simple system is divine! Beautifully done - like nothing I've ever seen before - I love it! :) Would you mind if I shared these on my FB page? https://www.facebook.com/StolenMomentsDesign
