Welcome back! This week at CASE-ing The Catty, we are casing Memory Keeping (pages 24-41). You can view the catalogue online, or if you're local to me (I live in South Morang, Vic and work in Thomastown) I'd be happy to drop one off to you.
Like most scrapbookers, I am w-a-y behind. I've decided to use mainly Project Life for my newest grandchild's photos, and that is going really well, but I am hopelessly behind with the grandchild before him. Alice is the only girl in our huge brood, so her photos really should be up-to-date! Anyway, ever since I made some progress, thanks to Project Life, I have had renewed enthusiasm for traditional scrapbooking too, and have managed to get a number of pages done recently. I see no reason at all why the two systems cannot be used in the same album either, as the Project Life Album is a very sturdy ring binder, and traditional 12" X 12" inserts fit quite easily.
I've used photopolymer stamps before and not been so impressed, but these adhere to the blocks really firmly, and I like being able to see where they are going to stamp. I was able to actually line up the dates on the lines.
I also copied the journaling on strips pasted underneath the photos. Some of the Moonlight DSP, was put through the printer before cutting it up. Instead of using a doiley, I stamped Daydream Medallion onto the background and then smaller medallions on to white card before cutting with Floral Frames Collection and topping with a Baked Brown embellishment. This is a very pink layout, maybe when you don't have many girls in a family, you can go a bit overboard. There's a token piece of Soft Sky in the frame around the more recent photo of Alice. It has been cut using On Film Framelits. I was glad that those Framelits made it into the catalogue, but also sad, as it appears I have lost/thrown out the tiny camera which is part of that set. Unfortunately, it is so easy to do, when you're having a clean-up!Don't forget to check out what other members of the design team have cased, and we'd love to see your projects too.
Cheers....
