Project Life 2017 | June 9-11

Hi scrappy friends! Sorry I've been quiet for a bit, the start of summer has really kept us quite busy around here. On the bright side, I have lots of fun events to scrap, which is helping to spark some motivation! Today I'm sharing a post that I highlighted over on the Spiegel Mom Scraps blog. I shared just a few highlights there, but I wanted to share the rest of the details here for you.

This layout documents one of my early summer events, an amazing 3-day weekend at The Taste of Country Music Festival. For this layout I used the July "#RightNow" Pocket Life kit and word stickers from Citrus Twist Kits, as well as some cork shapes and sequins from Spiegel Mom Scraps.

Here is the overall layout, showing the left and right side pages (without inserts)...

And the full left page...

For the title card, I layered large gold glitter alpha (Heidi Swapp from the kit) along with smaller glitter alpha (also Heidi Swapp, from my stash), on a piece of patterned paper. SUPER simple, but I love the layered alpha look!

Here are a few details from the left side...

The card below, is one of my favorites. I started by pairing a 3x4 photo with a piece of paper, and added the exclusive acrylic piece, more glitter alpha and then to accent the paper pattern, I hand stitched some cork stars.

The die cut package in this kit included a few pieces that were in the shape of a ticket, which were perfect for this layout. I used each one to highlight the name of a headliner artist, using the mini glitter alpha, and then stitching them to the photo.

Here is the overall right page...

And some details from this page...

I just LOVE these little cork stars, with gold stitching!

As I mentioned earlier, this layout also included a few inserts. The first is a 6x12 pocket page, which highlights photos from Day 2 of the festival. Behind that, is a zipper pouch holding memorabilia.

I created the confetti pocket below, by backing the pocket with vellum and adding sequins and cork stars (from Spiegel Mom Scraps). For a bit of interest, I also stitched a tag cluster to the bottom corner. I love this look of the sequins and cork together!

Here is the back side of this insert...

And finally, I have just one more insert to share. I had some memorabilia from this weekend that I wanted to include in the album and lucky me, the Citrus Twist Kits Pocket Life kits now come packaged in these adorable zipper pouches that are exactly the right size! To make the pouch binder-friendly, I added a few multi-color grommets along one side.

For a final bit of detail, I stitched a layered tag onto the front of the pouch.

And that's about it for this layout! Thanks for stopping by!
