Happy 2B

New Class * Artist Tray

My grandchildren live very far away, and because I miss them so much, I enjoy making photo displays of them to scatter around the house.  With the help of an artist tray and a Project Life kit, I made this quick and easy-to-assemble photo frame.

I am planning a class to make this beautiful and unique project. The class will be held on Thursday, June 15th at 1:00 pm and  6:30 pm in my stamp studio located in Denton, Maryland.  The cost is $25 and all materials (except adhesive and personal photos) are included.

The last day to register is Monday, May 30th.

If you do not live local, I will have a long distance option for $25 plus $13.60 shipping.  (Supplies and instructions will be mailed via a Flat Rate Medium Box with tracking and insurance.)

Project Life Basics 101

Do you like the idea of scrapbooking but don't have the time?  Join the club...I am also a member of that club.  I love taking pictures but never seemed to have the time to organize them so I can enjoy them and share them with my friends and family.

Project Life to the rescue...

 

I have made an album for the first month of my grandson's life, for a fun trip my husband and I took to Stockholm, Sweden and am now working on an album "all about me" and another about a 36 day road trip that my husband and I took out west.  (If you noticed I haven't been on the blog lately, I hope that will explain my absence.  I love having a job where I can set my own schedule and always know that my vacation plans will be approved!)

Tips to Preserve Those Everyday Moments

 

I was not blessed with a wonderful memory so I depend on my photos to remind me of all those special moments of my life as well as the everyday ones too.  It is just one of the reasons why I love Project Life.  It makes recording those moments through photos quick and easy and downright FUN!!

How to Print 4x3 Photos for Project Life

 

I am a newbie to Project Life but it didn't take me long to realize I needed to find a way to print some of my photos in 4x3 or 3x4 size to make my life easier.  My printer would print photos in 4x6, as do most printing companies, so my mission was to find out how to print two 4x3 photos using one 4x6 photo template.  A friend of mine shared her technique with me and, so far, it's working great so I thought I would share it with you... 

To start, it's best if your pictures are already edited for lighting, cropping, etc.  Go to www.picmonkey.com and hover over the collage link at the top of the page.  By doing so, you will see options to upload photos from your computer, Facebook, Dropbox and more. 

• Choose the photos you want to use.  You can hold down the "ctrl" button and click on several to use more than one at a time.  When done, click "open".
• Choose layout - There are four links to the far left - choose the second link down in left column
• Choose cards
• Choose the layout with 3 diagonal blocks (Leave dropdown menu at 4x8)
• Under the layout, click on the lock to unlock pixels and change to the following

  (Standard pixels for 4x6 = 1200 x 1800 for 3x4 and 1800 x 1200 for 4x3)

• Add photos to the two outside boxes and delete the center one.
• In left column, click on bottom link (pallette) to change spacing of border (no border - slide to left)
• You can round corners or change border color
• When done, click "save".

As I said in the beginning, I am a newbie to all of this so hopefully the instructions are clear enough for you to follow and be able to make your own 4 x 3 photos to use with your Project Life projects!

The Little Moments * Project Life

I have always liked the idea of scrapbooking but, as my 31 year old daughter will attest, I never had the time to dedicate to getting my ideas down on paper.  (She has never let me live down the fact that I haven't finished her childhood scrapbook!)

But Project Life has come to my rescue...it is similar to scrapbooking but so much faster with less fuss.  Now don't get me wrong...if you like fuss, you can add it...but it's not necessary because the pre-printed cards do all the work for you.  Check out the video below highlighting the Little Moments card collection and how to use it to save those precious memories.

 

If you would like to know more about Project Life, please contact me.  I would love to share my "new found love" with you!

If you would like to place an order for your own Project Life supplies, just CLICK HERE to access my ONLINE STORE open 24/7 for your convenience.  Look in the left column for a link to all of the Project Life products.  Hope you will come back often to visit my blog!
