Project Life Week 11 using Allison Davis Sketch

Giveaway for the Studio Calico Neverland Kit and for the Lost Boys and Hook Stamps are still open

This week I tried something experimental with my Project Life layout. Just for fun. I decided to combine an idea that Shimelle mentioned on her blog with a recent sketch (doing PL with a regular sketch) with the sketch week on Allison Davis’ blog. She is using this sketch which can be downloaded for free (go to her blog for the link).

I used it to create my project life layout, I tried to stick to the sketch fairly closely, which reduced the number of photos I used. I think if I experiment with this again, I might drop the photos from the sketch and then add them where-ever I want. Hmm watch this space for how that works out!

I used the Studio Calico snippets line (thickers, papers, journalling cards, flair and sticker sheet) and I found that this line matches really well with the Project Life kit I bought last year, Clementine. I love when you find older product that matches something new, its my scrapbooking holy grail to be happy using something older from my stash.

As a new blogger I am constantly finding myself looking at my layouts as I post them and thinking of small changes I would like to make. For this one I wish I had done something to define some of the edges a little more. I went back and forth on it, since they are split by the pocketed page protector, but I dont want them to just blend together. What do think, would it have been better to edge the papers somehow? There is extra journalling for Sunday and Friday tucked behind the photos. As a side note I am now only using hidden journalling on the right page, since you can’t actually take the ones in the right page out easily.

That banner is looking much wonkier in the photos than it was on the page. I might pull it out and remake it and add it over the top of the page, it isnt really making me happy in the current format.

Anyway, experiments are always fun and somethign a bit different to share. Next week I will have my SC PL kit and will be using that again for my PL spread, so something a bit more standard for that one. Coming up soon, I want to blog about the current PRT episode, as it was AMAZING! Go listen to it, especially if you have a child with special needs, a really helpful episode.
