NEW Project Life Childhood Mini Kits

I have something truly exciting to share with you today. Becky Higgins and I have been working and re-working on a Childhood/School Project Life concept over the past several months/years.  TODAY, we finally get to show you the finished products. I can’t even begin to tell you how happy I am to show this to you!! I count myself blessed to have the opportunity of working with Becky. She really works hard to come up with simple, easy, and sensible solutions to memory preservation. I really hope that you enjoy using these kits just as much as I have enjoyed creating them.

At the bottom of this post YOU will have the chance to WIN one of these brand NEW kits.  So, keep reading on….

We have not one but THREE Childhood Editions to share with you:

1. Wellington Edition – Neutral Office Inspired Colors

2. Bridgeport Edition – Masculine Colors

3. Mayfield Edition – Feminine Colors

Becky made this fabulous video to give you a complete introduction to the concepts and history behind these kits. You can view that here:

Here’s a layout I put together for my daughter’s album using the cards from the Mayfield Edition… Can I just tell you how easy this was? Well, it was easy… the hardest part was trying to figure out what photos to use.

Here are a few photos showing more of the journaling cards. These cards include prompts that will help you know what to write about. When you know what to document it makes the task so much easier.  

So, there you have it…. an easy solution to getting your childhood/school years neatly bundled up in a book. I think I might be able to get my own children’s scrapbooks caught up! Yeah!! You can go read more about the Childhood Mini Kits on Becky’s blog HERE.

Who would like to WIN one of the Childhood Mini Kits? The winner will receive their choice of the Wellington Edition, Bridgeport Edition, or Mayfield Edition. Enter by Thursday, 8/23.

I’m trying out this handy new little widget for the giveaway. I’ll announce a winner next Friday. The more tasks you complete, the more entries you receive. Just click on the “do it” buttons and follow the instructions to enter:

When I saw Corri’s project for today… it made me smile. She’s made a darling birthday set for us using the new cupcake file and card file. Take a look:

Corri says “I used my Cameo to cut Lori’s cupcake shaped box from Echo Park – So Happy Together collection.   This box goes together very quickly and is the perfect size to hold a small gift or a yummy treat. I embellished my little box with some lace trim and a rolled flower.  These flowers are my favorite embellishment…they make everything look cute!

For my card, I used one of the belly band cards and embellished it with the little cupcake from this set.  The sentiment is from Scrappy Moms Stamps – Dancing in Circles.  The stamp fits perfectly on the card exactly as sized.”
THANKS CORRI! Stunning as always! Go check out her blog for more amazing projects.
Have a great day!
