So as I mentioned a few days ago I have really been enjoying getting into Project Life! I personally think it's a fantastic system that is really working for me. I love being able to document my life in printed photos and pretty filler cards. I am not a super creative soul... I only wish I was! I think my sister got all those genes. While I enjoy pretty things and have enjoyed experimenting with Project Life I have always been a bit hesitant to dive into the full-on scrapbooking world! I am in awe of those people who can scrap 12x12 layouts. I have joined quite a few facebook groups and pages around scrapbooking, particularly Australia groups. And I have been truly inspired by one awesome lady! Her name is Adele and she has a blog/YouTube channel called Inkie Quill - check her out here. Both her Project Life and 12x12 layouts are stunning! She is also hilarious to watch/listen to, which makes her videos super easy and engaging.
So I decided to tackle 12x12 layouts.. my first was nice.. but a bit of a fail! However I am really happy with how my second one turned out...(excuse the glare!)
This was from a recent holiday I took to Hawaii, and I am pleased with how it turned out. Still lots to learn about my scrapbooking ability and what style I like, but I think I am improving.
The best thing I have learnt about this whole experience is how valuable it is for me to have a hobby, and something I really enjoy doing! So thanks Adele for inspiring me, and now all the many many other channels I follow on YouTube... I can see I will be needing to increase my stash of enamel dots, as well as getting my hands on some other mixed media! The obsession is real people!!!!
