A Journaling Card Kit for Valentine's Day

Just popping in with a quick announcement about a new journaling card kit that's now available.

It's called Plum Love and this collection of digital JOURNALING cards is perfect for documenting Valentines day, love notes, or just add to your journal card collection!

I chose to make this kit with "non-traditional" valentines colors--no red or bright pink--but instead a plum purple, mauve, emerald green, and slight gray colors!

This kit includes the following digital card files:

10 - 3x4 journaling cards

9 - 4x4 journaling cards

10 - 4x6 journaling cards

5 - BONUS 6x6  "quilt pattern" journal (or filler) cards that work in any size pocket

These "bonus" cards fit in any Project Life App pocket size, and if you pinch and zoom on the card once it's in the pocket, you can make them off-center for a completely new look! Plus, I've paired patterns with solids on these quilt pattern cards, and you can use FFT to journal on the solids! Talk about creative (if I do say so myself!)

My Favorite New Templates

I love to use templates when I scrapbook. There are some times where you don’t want to overthink a page and can just use a template to help without layout ideas!  Some of my favorite templates lately have been from BuzzbeeScraps on Etsy.

They are such easy templates to use to add your own papers, elements, titles, and journaling to.

Here’s the latest template pack, and a page I made using one of them:

I took the “family” template, added in some patterns from the PaperStarrStudio Butterfly Garden kit, swapped out some the template layers for graphics from the butterfly kit, and had a personalized page in no time at all!

If You've Got a Sewing Project, I Have a Kit For You!

Anyone else go home renovation projects during this pandemic? It seems like we always have something going on at our house. And by that I mean my wife has a project! ;)

Her latest endeavor has been to recover a pair of armchairs she found online. And that got me thinking that I probably needed to make a sewing-centric kit.

And that's how I came up with idea for Sew Fun.

This collection of over 100 digital cards are perfect for documenting sewing, knitting, or crochet projects!

This kit includes the following:

28 - 3x4 journal and filler cards

29 - 4x4  journal and filler cards

27 - 4x6 journal and filler cards

12 - 6x6 patterned backgrounds

8 - 12x12 solid backgrounds

Here's a closer look at some of the cards/patterns:

I like the softer, pastel colors in the kit, and that it works for not only sewing, but crochet and knitting, too!

Here's a pair of pages I made with the kit:

Video Game Inspired Kit

It's 2022! Does that mean we can finally start to get back to normal? I sure hope so!

A lot of creative process when it comes to making card kits is looking at the kinds of photos I'm taking (or have taken in the past that haven't been scrapbooked yet), and then trying to find a kit somewhere--either within the Project Life App or from other designers, that fit my needs.

Sometimes I can find a kit that works, but often I don't like the style, or the colors, or the imagery. That's when I start to look for clipart and items I can use to create my own.

That's what I did with my latest kit, GAMER.  I wanted something that was video game-inspired, but the kinds of video games my kids played--Nintendo, Gameboy, PSP, X-box, etc.

Here's what I came up: A collection of 80 digital cards that are (hopefully) perfect for documenting your gaming sessions.

This kit includes the following digital card files:

27 - 3x4 journaling and filler cards

26 - 4x4 journaling and filler cards

27 - 4x6  journaling and filler cards

2 - 6x6 patterned papers

11 - 12x12 solid color papers

Here's a sample page I created with this kit:

New Year.....New Digital Templates!

If starting off the new year with a new set of three Layered Squares digital scrapbooking templates.  These are designed to feature a couple of square photos on a page, and to fill in the rest with digital papers and elements.

Let's take a look at a sample page made with each of these new templates:

Template 1: 

Photos (or cards) could be used in each corner, and then a digital paper (or a panoramic photo) in the middle. The combinations are endless! Here's what I came up with:

Fun, right?!

Here's another template:

And here's what I turned it into:

And one last template and page example for good measure! :)
