By now you've seen (or at least seen online) the brand new Heidi Swapp Project Life® collection at Michaels Stores, right? Well today I'm going to share a PL spread I created in no time at all* using some pieces from the new collection as well as my new favorite tool - the Minc™ Mini.
*truly...like, no time at all...maybe 1 hour start to finish...maybe.
When I set out to create a PL spread (or any layout for that matter), I start by choosing my photo(s). Next I gather the paper/cards I want to use (for this spread I used cards from the brand new Heidi Swapp Project Life® Picturesque Edition). After that I will lay my photos/cards out on top of the pockets and I'll just move them around until I like the way they look. And finally I'll add my embellishments.
I LOVE adding little clusters of embellishments in (and on top of!) my pockets. When the pieces I want to use are too large to fit inside, I just adhere them to the outside - like I did with this banner...easy peasy! A few puffy stars help to add dimension to the spread...
Here I added just a few little Minc™ chipboard pieces and a transparent sticker from Heidi's new Project Life® collection.
The new Project Life® Frames are all 4x4 ... I just cut mine down to 3x4 and added it to a pocket to add some color...
The little pops of silver throughout the spread really stand out...
Here's a little close-up on what I did with that "AWESOME" tag. I wanted to include both of these photos in my spread, but didn't want to use to pockets to do it. So I simply stapled the label to the back photo and tucked both photos in the pocket...
I can't say it enough...I just love the ease and simplicity that comes along with creating Project Life®/pocket-scrap pages. They are seriously so quick and FUN! And it's the perfect way to get a lot of photos into one page...so awesome...
