Life Crafted with Sheree

Hi everyone!

It’s Sheree here with a new Life Crafted spread to share with you featuring the gorgeous February “Possibilities” Life Crafted Kit. 

For this spread today I decided to use just two of the colours from the kit to work with.  I chose the pretty teal patterned paper as one of my page backgrounds and the neutral lined paper for the other.  To contrast with the teal, I decided on the orange/gold colour then went about picking out all the bits and pieces from the kit with those colours to see what I could use.

On the first page I printed out the journaling onto white cardstock and positioned it roughly in the centre.  I stamped an orange label with the “highlight” word from the Life Crafted Possibilities Stamp Set and added it above the journaling.

Under the journaling I added two die cuts, using a foam dot under one for a little dimension.  Machine stitching was also added as a border on the page as well as on the journaling, the label and one of the die cuts to add some texture.

The photo was adhered to the teal page, then I added some messy stitching to the top left corner and around the edge of the page.  I used the “Stay Cool” circular die cut, added some more stitching and layered the black banner die cut across the bottom with some foam dots.

Some stars from the puffy stickers pack finished off the spread nicely.

You can watch my process in the video below...



Perhaps you’d like to challenge yourself to only use two contrasting colours on your next project?  

Thanks so much for joining me on the blog today!

Hi there!
We are so happy to have Ashley share some of her awesome talent with us today!  She has used the POSSIBILITIES kit in her projects, and i am sure you are going to love what she has created for this post!.

Here is Ashley:

Hi everyone!  It’s Ashley, and I’m back with another layout in my Charcoal Gray Life Crafted Album using the February Possibilities Kit!  I love using large photos for layouts in my Traveler’s Notebook and did just that for this layout.

I printed my photo in black and white and placed it on the back of one of my previous pages in the album.  When I take photos, I try to frame them with white space.  This way, I can add embellishments or digitals right over my photo.  I used a mix of the ephemera pieces, chipboard and puffy stickers on my photo to add some fun embellishments.  I also used one of the cut apart labels and wanted to share a fun tip for cutting these out.  I use my paper trimmer to cut all of the straight edges.  Then, I take my single hole punch and punch out the corners to create the indents of the label.

There are some gorgeous 3x4 Journaling Cards in the Possibilities Kit and I wanted to incorporate them into my layout.  I like that you can use them as is or you can also customize your journaling cards.  I added a couple of ephemera pieces to both of the cards before placing them in one of the 3x8 page protectors.

To finish off my layout, I decided to make a tab for the 3x8 page protector.  I opened a tab cut file in Silhouette Studio and cut it from one of the journaling cards in the Kit.  Then, I placed the “grateful heart” sentiment on the tab.  I used my tiny attacher to staple the tab in the center of the page protector.

I’ve had so much fun with the Possibilities Kit and I hope I’ve shared some ideas with you, that you can use with your Kit!  Thanks so much for stopping by today, to take a look at my Traveler’s Notebook layout!
