Pocket Life Friday With Sam

Hello all! It's Sam here to share a Pocket Life layout with you. I created this one day spread to record  our daily travels on 1 August 2013. It was just an ordinary day that we had been running around - attending a book binding crop, went for a stroll at the park and also shopped at Ikea. We took so many photos that I managed to create a double page PL spread for this particular day.

The color scheme of this daily spread is inspired by this piece of patterned paper, love the combination of orange and green with a hint of blue. Such a brilliant color scheme that I have never thought of it! I love the month of August simply because its my birthday month so the 1st day of August definitely deserved a page on its own.

I am in love with the exclusive heart wood veneer. I painted them with different colors and sprinkled them all over my page. I even use my sewing machine to stitch them down. I know sewing on wood sounds intimidating but all you have to do is add adhesive to the wood and go really really slow.

I use numbers to note down the sequence of our daily travels. P.s. The sequins and yellow flower cabochon is from my own stash.

I am always inspired by how April summarize her weekly events in one of her 4x6 journaling card. So I thought it would be fun to challenge you to summarize your daily travel in one of the journalling card, using bullet point form. You will then realize even the smallest thing in your everyday life is noteworthy. Here's how I did my summary of the daily travel with my funny hand writing and stamp set designed by Jen.
Tips: I white washed the pattern paper with Distress Paint in Picket Fence so that my journalling will pop.

And here's the sketch for this week Pocket Life post:

Thanks for looking and have a great weekend ahead!

April here to share some daily travel inspiration! This is the second insert to my week 27 Pocket Life. It was an insert I added to document a bike ride some of my friends and I went on. As shown here, travel themed products work wonderfully to document the simple things in life like going on a bike ride or even just taking a walk.

 Jen here to share my Daily Travels with you.  Week 26 for my family was certainly on the go: park trips, a flat tire (yikes!), house hunting, grocery trips and chasing the trash truck. My SAHM life with boys is hectic and, well, often anything but stay at home! This challenge, paired with the August PL kit was the perfect opportunity to highlight where we travel and what we do on a weekly basis. Here is a peek into our everyday.

 

To create my layout I used mostly products featured in our August Pocket Life Kit ''Best Day'' and I also added some patterned paper from ''Everyday'' kit add on. I decided to use a photograph which was taken on the tram in Warsaw, on a day when I had many things to do, places to stop at and errands to deal with. To be totally honest- I like days like this! I enjoy making a plan in my head and than going from place to place and arranging stuff so it was totally worth for me to document it on the layout:) layout:

Gina here sharing a layout of my daughter who took this selfie in the car so she could check her hair.. I've used both the "On the Go" main, "Orange Crush" add-on and "Detours" stamp add-on. I've layered some papers,stickers and tag from the kit packaging behind the photo then a few of the cute Travel Girl stickers and washi tape, as well as sequins and some stamping.
