Project Life 2016 | February 22-March 6

Today I'll be sharing a layout using Hip Kit Club kits from March. This layout features the paler tones in the kit. I love the color combo of pink, peach and green. Feels like Spring!

This layout has a few inserts which I'll share later. First, here is the overall layout...

And a close-up of the left page...

I love the Pinkfresh vellum alpha included in the Project Life kit. Because they are transparent, you can see the pattern of the paper below. I especially loved the way they look on the title card, where the outline of the floral pattern shows through.

And the right page...

I used several pieces of the Elle's Studio die cuts and wood veneer sprinkled throughout the layout. It's hard to see in the photos, but I added a peach colored spray ink to the wood veneer to tie them to the color scheme a bit more.

The tag on the lower right card I made by trimming and layering a few pieces from the Elle's Studio die-cut pack, and then stitching them together.

And last but certainly not least, here are the inserts for this week. The 1st is an envelope I made using that gorgeous Pinkfresh gold foil paper.

The envelope holds a poem my daughter wrote in school. It wasn't something she would want visible for everyone to read, but I like to include bits and pieces of her schoolwork, so tucking it in an envelope was the perfect way to include it. I've added a tutorial video for how to make the envelope at the end of this post.

The 2nd insert documents my typical Saturday routine. I love the Project Life format because it allows me to document all the everyday bits of life that we'll want to look back on someday.

To make this insert I just typed up my schedule and printed it on white cardstock and added some patterned paper and washi along the top and bottom. I trimmed the insert to about 5" wide, and inserted it into a trimmed 12x12 page protector. To seal up the sides I stitched a piece of the gold foil vellum down the outside cut edge, along with a bright yellow tag from the Pinkfresh die-cut pack from the embellishment kit. The "Daily Life" I added with a mini phrase stamp from my collection.

The finishing touch of this insert is the title. The "My Life" embellishment is an acrylic piece from Color Cast Design's March release. I backed the larger letters with scraps of patterned paper.

Here is how the 2 inserts look in the album...

And that's about it. I'm excited to dig in to the rest of the March Hip Kit for another layout!
