    Hi all *waves*

    I am a project life newbie from Australia. I ordered my things back in mmmmm think it was September or Ocotber knowing that they were a pre-order and would't arrive till a couple of weeks ago and now they are here I am so EXCITED! I have been looking into this for months and following many talented PL creative people and also see a lot on my FAVOURITE app "instagram"...

    The front cover has and is being a little ummmm overwhelming and I think that is just me being my usual looking into things to much. I'm glad I will give my Instax camera a good work out for once, I am still not the best at taking photos as I am used to digital and being able to take 20 photos of the one things to then pick one haha. But I hope to sort that out.

    My only issue is that I ordered the Clementine and I LOVE it, not the issue, but I also love the Cobalt and am trying ever so hard NOT to buy it as well. I thought I would or could mix them but in the meantime I have found the digi version so am trying not to jump in, just in case I find I don't use them as much and REALLY want to use my scrapping scraps too, a way to use the little bits I love but just to small to scrap with etc....

    Anyways just wanted to waffle on and say hello :)

    hi kellie

    I'm also from australia - melbourne to be precise and I am also a PL newbie for this new year. Was resisting and resisting then spoke to DH about it - he thought it sounded fun and said I should just go for it. I went with cobalt but I'm going to be using a lot of stash and I am going to be very loooooooooose with it! I think it should represent your life and my life is pretty chaotic. Some weeks are full on and others are quiet so if I can fill a two page spread awesome if not ... oh well just on page it'll be.

    welome to sc - i'm sure you'll love it here - i sure do!

    Hi there Sasha and Amanda,

    Thank you for the welcome :) I have been getting Studio calico kit for a while now too so I have some things saved from them. I have a basket full of things for PL.

    Amanda I am from a little town about 50 min from Melbourne called Seymour :)

    The first time I read about PL I thought NUP too much already on but the more I seen the more I read and the more I just loved the idea and concept behind it and can't wait to start!

    Have you both done your cover?

    OH wow that is absolutely AMAZING! I love the stitching and the "clutter" in the corner it looks amazing! I done a scrap page similar style minus the stitching. Amazing Sasha!

    Hi Kellie!

    This is my first year too and I am also from Victoria (out in the country in East Gippsland). I only ordered the multipack of dividers and blank journalling cards and am just putting everything together with me stash.
    I was super excited to get a selphy printer for chrissie (still to be delivered) and I also got an Amazon gift card which I used toward a new instax camera (also still to be delivered). I am super excited about this project and am loving the forum here to give me ideas and inspiration.

    Sash love your cover page!

    Welcome, Kellie! I'm in the exact same predicament as you! Have & Love Clementine, but I'm starting to crush on Cobalt too! I have SO much stuff, I really can't justify it! Stay strong ; )

    Sasha, you ROCK!!!!!!
