Mix Your Kits Tutorial - Document Your "Currently" | Geralyn Sy

I was so happy to have the opportunity to design the stamp set for the June Project Life® main kit. I wanted to create a versatile and fun stamp set for you, one that could be used to document all sorts of everyday moments in your life. While the stamp set is included in the Project Life® kit, it can also be used as a journaling spot on scrapbook layouts. Today, I’ll show you how I made this stamp set the focus of my page as I walk you through my process of making a layout.

I started with stamping my ‘captured’ box stamp several times on white cardstock with black ink.

Then I cut them out with a pair of scissors. I wasn’t sure how many I wanted to use yet but I simply made a stack of these. I can save the extras for the future.

I picked the fun pink polka dot paper for the scrapbook kit as my layout base. Then I started laying out my ‘captured’ rectangles and my photo until I liked how the design looked. I decided to go with my go-to grid design.

Now it’s time to customize the rectangles. I stamped icons and words from the stamp set on the ‘captured’ rectangles using black ink.

Then I stamped the solid ‘captured’ word from the stamp set on each of the rectangles using various colored ink, offsetting the stamping to add pops of color to my layout.

Once all my stamping was finished, I could now adhere all my pieces onto my layout. I alternated between regular adhesive and foam adhesive to add some dimension to my page. I also used a piece of mint cardstock behind my photo for some additional layering as well as diecut heart.

The rectangles have journaling prompts (watching, eating, loving etc.) and I simply jotted down some notes about each topic in the boxes.

As a final step, I added a strip of grey patterned paper and a strip of washi tape on top to finish the layout.

I love that this stamp set made it really easy to document the ‘currents’ of my life on a layout. Hope this provides you with some inspiration on how to use this stamp set! Enjoy!
