Project life inspired page...

Hello! Let me start by sharing my new purchase - it's the Project Life kit, Midnight Edition! I was so happy to find it at the Hobby Lobby store! And I just found out that Becky Higgins announced on her site that Project Life is coming to Michael's too!

Midnight was my favorite edition released last season. This one is just for me - simple geometric patterns (with lots of diagonal stripe!) in white, black, soft grey and yellow colors.

I just fell in love with all the journaling cards it had and wanted to put them to use right away!  I decided to make a page using some of them. The plan was to make a very light page with lots of journaling cards in almost black and white colors... Here's a look at the process...

I started with these pieces pulled from the kit:

White cardstock matted on dark grey, added a blue map print...

Arranged selected cards, cutting the diagonal stripe one so it will stretch across the page...

 Added a blue diamond paper from Echo Park to the side...

Added a photo, matted on white cardstock:

I found a tag I kept and decided to use it here. Added a tab to one of the cards that I actually wanted to use for journaling.

 From one of the Echo Park papers, I've cut these circle elements:

And Silhouette shape that was cut out of white cardstock:

I love creating scrapbook pages, but my least favorite step is typing my journaling. I don't like how handwritten journaling looks on a page, but hiding it actually saved me some time :)

Added last few little things, like brads and washi tape, and here is my completed page:

It didn't turn out how I pictured it, but I sure did have some fun! I just wanted to play! It was one of the quickest pages I made because I tried not to overthink about all the little details.

Thanks for coming over and I hope you can find some time to play too :)

Have a great day and I will see you soon!
