week 8 – Melinda Sweetman Scrapbooking

{ScrappingClearly} Project Life 2017 – WK8

Hey, hey my scrappy friends!! I am back again today with my latest share for ScrappingClearly!

Once again I am using the very fun and Spring-y collection “Spring Fling” by Pebbles. I love the fun colours and patterns on that neutral kraft base in this collection and found week 8 missing all the cards and journalling in our album so figured this would be a fun collection to complete this week in our album!

Here is the left hand side of the spread

I have used some of the neutral kraft papers as my base cards (Celebration, Party Time, Patchwork and Spring Fling) and also some of the adorable 3×4 cut apart cards from the Cut Out‘s sheet.

I don’t know how well you know your PL page protectors but for the right hand side of this week I have used a panoramic protector to include a few extra photo’s and stories. Here is a look at the whole opened right hand side of the week.

And this is the the front of the folding part of the protector

For embellishing I have kept it pretty simple using a few pieces from the ephemera pack, cutting up some of the pieces from the Me To You patterned paper and the gorgeous floral puffy stickers – which by the way – I have used the WHOLE sheet!! Yep, it’s done! Who else gets that little kick from using the last of a sticker sheet?!

For my title card and a couple of sub-titles on cards I have used these leather looking alphas by WRMK.

Due to the business and high contrast of the white against the kraft I decided that using my typewriter was the best bet for my journalling so grabbed some off cuts of some vanilla coloured cardstock, typed them up my words and trimmed into journalling strips. Easy, done and I love the flow it creates from card to card and page to page!

My motto for this year’s PL is very much “get it done” rather than “make it perfect” and I am really loving how some of these pages are coming together!

I have no idea what I’ll be creating for my next ScrappingClearly project but until then, happy scrapping!!

PL Week 8

Hello!!

Tonight I am here sharing my week 8 🙂

Unlike week 7 this week hasn’t been completed for a few weeks – I only finished it off on Sunday at a PL Get Together us WA girls organised 🙂

So here you go:

Week 8 LHS

As you can see here I have used the gorgeous Week No’s designed by Janet over at Snow Moon on Etsy which you will see in each of my weeks from here on out cause I LOVE them!! I have also used another gorgeous new product I found, the felt arrow – this is done by Agnus over at {scrAp this!} (who by the way is having a sale on this weekend – I can’t wait to see what is available!!).

Week 8 RHS

I have used a little photo flip in this week (I had a couple of photos that just HAD to be included in this week!!) And right under that little photo flip is another QR code with a video of Master Hunter giggling!!

And here is RHS opened

I just want to add here that my wonderful husband drove all the way home from work on the Saturday to look after me with my sprained back and since it’s such a long drive and something I have NEVER had him do before it just needed to be included.

And last but by no means least, here is both the left and right together as they are in the album 🙂

As always, thank you for stopping in and I hope you all have a wonderful Easter and LONG weekend and that the Easter Bunny is good to you!!
