ISO - good "everyday" PL kit

[tkradtke]

Decided to just make this it's own thread.

I am looking for one good general/everyday kit here at TLP that includes journaling cards. I've decided to incorporate my WITL photos into my PL book. It will be several pages long, so I would like to use one primary kit for this project so it stands out within my PL book. Any suggestions are welcome! Thanks!

I love Jaimee's collections.

How about this one that's geared to the everyday?

 

[tkradtke]

Thanks Sarah! That could work! I think I have Just Jaimee's June, September, October and November storyteller kits... but somehow skipped July and August!

I always thought Jaimee's Storyteller kits were perfect for PL to give each month a cohesive look.

Another vote for Jaimee's storytellers. You can make pages and pages with all of the stuff she packs in, and you would still have things left over.

How about this?

 

[tkradtke]

Ohhh... that's a good one Karen! I'll have to file that away for the future. I ended up buying the August storyteller kit by Just Jaimee. I have all of my pages laid out and my WITL section is going to be 12 pages!! I'm going to need lots of material to work with and the storyteller kit includes so much.

Can't wait to see what you do, Tracie!

posted this originally in the other thread, but thought i'd post here too.

Are there any kits here at TLP that would work particularly well for WITL? I'm looking mainly for journaling cards. Thanks!

Here are some things I thought of when I saw your question.














(Or there's a bundle with these cards, numbered cards, and some other elements, as well)

Another thing I just thought of that someone could do if they were looking for a lot of journaling cards that coordinate but aren't necessarily matchy matchy is to check out the BYOC collections. There are usually quite a few journaling card packs for each collection and the BYOC stuff is so easy to mix and match. Not only does the current BYOC have it's own category in the store but you can also look at past collections as well going back to Jan 2012.

You can get to them either by clicking this link https://the-lilypad.com/store/BYOC-PAST/ or using the drop down menu next to BYOC-Past under the store categories.

ETA: Just for the fun of it I looked at August's BYOC (one of my favorite color palates) and there are 12 packs of journaling cards available.

I too am a fan of the Storytellers!! I am glad you were able to find something that will work and cannot wait to see you WITL pages Tracie!

 

[tkradtke]

Thanks so much for all of the help! I just finished up my pages. I used the August Storyteller kit by Just Jaimee. I love how far you can stretch the storyteller kits!

Here are my pages:

 

[sarahbhb]

I'm so glad that it worked so well for you! Your pages are amazing!

 

[Karen]

Oh Wow Tracie! I'm just seeing your pages! LOVE your whole WIL! You're so speedy getting it all done too!

 

[NancyBeck]

Your pages are fantastic! I sat out 2014, but I'm pumped to get back to in 2015!

 

[Trista]

It turned out great Tracie! Nice job!! Congrats on completing it!

 

[tkradtke]

Thanks so much everyone! I think the main reason I was able to complete it so quickly was because I didn't end up with as many photos as I would have liked and I just decided to include it in my main PL book. Next year I'll try to take more, but I'm really liking having it as part of PL.

The main thing I miss already about WITL is that it made me use my big camera more for everyday things. We're post-WITL week 2 and I have yet to pick up my big camera again. Two weeks of nothing but phone photos... sigh. Oh well! At least I'm still taking photos!

 

[Lynnette]

I just love how these turned out Tracie! It really shows just how versatile the Storyteller Collections are!

Your layouts turned out beautifully and kinda make me want to take on WITL one year.
