Do you like journal cards and pocket scrapping? Well, this is the collection for YOU.

It’s got warm fall tones and lots of delicious plaid. Let’s have a look at this new collection, shall we?Well, it gets better.

Project Life – tutorial #2
Hi everyone ! Guest Polly Gaelle here to show you how to make a pocket page using your phone/tablet and your favourite The Lilypad products.Last month, I introduced you to the Project Life app and showed you how easy it is to create a page. You can read (again) the article here.Today we're getting together to decorate our page a bit more by adding a few embellishments, because when we're scrapbooking we like to put little elements all over the page.Unfortunately, the Project Life application doesn't allow us to add embellissements. We're going to need another application : Studio. It's available free for iOS and Android for phones and tablets. However, you'll need to create an account the first time you use it. All you need to do is enter an email address.Last time, before starting the Project Life app, we prepared our pocket cards. Well, we're going to do the … [Read more...]

Mixed Media Beginners: Artsy Pockets & Photos
Hi again! For this month's Mixed Media Beginners I was inspired by a recent blog post by Gaelle on pocket scrapping. (If you haven't seen her blogpost about getting started with Pocket Scrapbooking on the Project Life app, you can check it out here). Pocket scrapping can be clean and simple, messy and mask-y, or somewhere in the middle, which I call 'Clean and Artsy'.Personally, I started making digital pocket pages through Project Mouse and my style definitely evolved over the years from 'clean and simple', with a lot of plain pocket cards and rectangular photos and white borders (and also rounded corners - I remember those days, Gaelle!), to 'clean and artsy', where my borders were obscured with painted or blended edges, elements overlapped everything and there were less clean lines and more doodles and scribbles, but still featuring a white background and border. That was my real … [Read more...]
