Evalicious Blog Hop!

Hi Everyone! Welcome to my stop of the first ever Evalicious blog hop! I’m so happy you’re here, and I hope you’re having a lot of fun and inspiration along the way. You should have hopped here from Alissa Fast, but if you’ve just stumbled here by chance, I recommend that you click over to the Evalicious blog so that can visit each stop along the way. Eve has the most amazing grand-prize for one lucky winner who signs up to follow the Evalicious blog and posts a comment on each stop!

Since Valentine’s Day is almost upon us, I decided to use my Evalicious goodies to whip up a couple of Valentine’s cards. This first one has lots of layering and dimensions. I used Evalicious stamps, diecuts, tags, label, tabs, and a badge button. I was able to pull everything together rather quickly, because the Evalicious products are so versatile and work so well together.

Month-In-Review Photoshop Templates!

Last year, I created a 8.5x11 Month-In-Review layout every month to include in my Project Life album. It was based on my Month-In-Review blog posts, and it had a photo collage of square photos, with journaling I copied from my blog posts.

These month-in-review layouts have been pinned a lot on Pinterest.

I recently blogged about doing Month-In-Review layouts at The Lilypad. My post generated renewed interest in people asking me about how to create them, or if I could share my templates with people. Truth is, I create the collages in Adobe Lightroom. Then I use Photoshop for adding the text box for journaling and adding the month and year. So I’ve never had any templates to tell people about… until NOW!

My good friend Peppermint of One Little Bird Designs has created some fantastic In Review templates for Photoshop and Photoshop Elements!

They come in a version for 12x12.

AND a version for 8.5x11!

If you wish to print it at home and don’t have a wide-format printer, I would suggest the 8.5x11 version.

Both template sets are on sale 20% off through the weekend, so be sure to pick them up as soon as possible! In the meantime, check out One Little Bird Design’s store for more awesome digital goodies!

Project Life | Hello 2013

I’ve been doing Project Life scrapbooking on and off for two years. This will be my 3rd year of scrapbooking my everyday pictures this way, and I’m so excited about it! My renewed enthusiasm is twofold. First, I’ve decided to not do it in a weekly style and just scrap my favorite photos as I go along. Second, how could I not be excited about all the Evalicious tags, flair buttons, and stamps that are SO PERFECT for my Project Life album? :D I’m also excited to use digital supplies from The Lilypad to print out for my album.

My 2-page spread containing more or less the first week of January.

I designed the “hello 2013” myself in Photoshop. The upper right photo is tied to my Hello 2013 blog post.

The 3x4 calendar journal card is Paislee Press 2013 Calendar Journal Cards. The Hello Label Stamp is Evalicious.

I love how Project Life allows me to document little moments like waking up on New Year’s Day and watching the Rose Bowl Parade and ESPN Gameday coverage of the game.

We made some yummy Pasta Alla Trapanese.

I copied and pasted journaling from my “Hello 2013” blog post.

Right side.

I was so excited when I found the “Eat this” tag in the My Week snipsnip tag sheet. I adhered it right onto the photo.

And really, I had to document the day my box of Evalicious DT goodies showed up at my house! I love how the foldover tags are pre-scored so you can just fold them easily and staple them onto the side of a photo, like I did here.
