Week 32 was pretty easy to put together. As time goes on and I’ve made lots of Project Life spreads, I’m finding that I like to keep it simple. Photos, cards and some journaling. I sometimes embellish but often feel like the cards are “enough” for me and I like the flat, simple look. When I do embellish, I like things that are flat like die cuts and stickers.
This week I took on another one of Marcy Penner’s Jumpstart Challenges to cut up a journaling card and include it in my Project Life spread. This challenge was perfect for me since I like the “flat” look but I don’t usually think to cut up my cards. I was looking for something to fill in the white space of the yellow starburst card and didn’t want to journal in there so I thought it was the perfect space to take on Marcy’s challenge. I found a 4×6 Elle’s Studio card in my stash with colors that coordinated with the rest of my page. The “love life” title was positioned vertically on the left hand side of the card and I decided to cut it out and use it horizontally on my starburst card. Easy peasy and it finished off this spread perfectly!
Do you ever cut up journaling cards and use them as embellishments? I was always afraid to “ruin” the cards by cutting into them but once I got over that fear, it actually makes many of my cards more versatile. Thanks for the challenge, Marcy! I love trying new ways of doing things and these challenges are the perfect opportunity to do so. 🙂
