I've been using the Handbooks by Studio Calico for my Project Life.....at least until SC updates the shop. I like the size especially for trips like this so I can compile all the photos I want on several pages (not done documenting yet). But, the size is limiting for traditional Project Life. So, I'm not committed, but overall pleased with the size.
As for the kit, my favorite two pieces were the frames letterpress card designed by Tina Aszmus of Life Love Paper, so I knew I wanted to use that.....and the stamp set by Amy Tangerine. That big ampersand was calling my name and perfect to document fish&chips...and mushy peas (yuck!). I stamped with staz-on black, then used a couple Mister Huey's as watercolors. Love the look in real life.
April mushy peas are divine lol a required taste best served with lots of malt vinegar...
I know what your saying about size but I love the handbook I'm using them for my first attempt at PL this year so far its going really well..
You poor thing...can't leave work at home, even when on vacation. :) This is lovely, April! I really dig how you cut windows out of the LifeLovePaper card (also favorites of mine from the PL kit).
I totally hear you about the size. I switched from 12x12 ( too big) to the handbook ( too small) and I'm kind of at a loss what to try next... I feel kind of like Goldilocks, lol. ;) but I do find the handbook much more manageable!
