Tutorial | Mix Your Kits: Project Life® Cards on a Scrapbook Layout with Geralyn Sy
The Lisse Street Project Life® kit is one of my favorite kits because of the versatile journal cards and cool embellishments. For this tutorial, I wanted to show you how easy it is to use the journal cards on a page! Today, I’ll walk you through my process of putting together a grid design layout.
I started by cutting up my journal cards into 1.5” squares. Many of the designs on the cards can easily be cropped without losing any important design element.
Then I used my paper trimmer and cut a bunch of 1.75” squares from white cardstock.
I glued my photos (I chose four 1.5” photos) and journal card squares onto the white cardstock squares.
I chose kraft cardstock to be the base of my layout. Then I lay out my squares onto my page, arranging and rearranging them until I was happy with how the grid design looked. Once I was satisfied, I glued the squares down.
Using the Silhouette software, I traced, enlarged, and cut one of Marcy’s printables from this month to create my "currently" title. I wanted it to be big enough so it would be a major focal point on my layout, so I enlarged it until the width was about 7.75.”
I glued my title to the middle of my layout using foam adhesive to add some dimension to my page.
I pulled a couple more embellishments from the Project Life® kit – I added washi tape to the top of my page and letter stickers for the initials of my niece and nephew. I also printed out some labels to use on my layout.
The last step was to add my journaling. I simply jotted down a few notes in a couple of the squares.
Hope you enjoyed seeing how I put this layout together! It was quite easy and I didn’t even need to use any patterned paper as I relied on the journal cards to add patterns and colors to my page.
