December journal time!



**FREE CLASS**


If  you're interested in keeping a December journal & you live local to me (Stockport, UK), order the elements listed at the bottom, from my Stampin' Up! shop, & I'll give you a free 1-2-1 class on how to approach Project Life and keeping a December journal, plus some handmade journaling cards that will co-ordinate with the Hello December kit. Email me at bracegirdlesam@gmail.com when you place your order.


I've kept a scrapbook type journal of my family's life each December since 2008. It's a daily record of us as a family each December & it's fascinating to see the changes, year on year.

My kids are a bit older now, but I value doing it even more. As they start to grow away from me, and having a photo taken seems more of a chore than the lark it was when they were little, Christmas festivities give me a legitimate reason for taking pics and capturing their last precious moments of childhood...

Goodness. How very mawkish! But if you've got teenagers I'm sure you know what I mean.

Last year I made a very elaborate December album. So elaborate, in fact, that I  used up all my mojo making it & by day 17 I got fed up & stopped filling it in. 

I learned a valuable lesson, and this year I've pared things right down. I'm going to use the Project Life method to keep my Christmas journal. I'm using the Hello December cards, accessory pack and PL album from Stampin' Up! and I'll complete it with photos and other bits and pieces from my stash.  I'm confident it will let me to balance creativity with the inevitable demands on my time that December brings!

Here's a video overview of the kit, plus you can have a look at some of the Christmas journals I've done  before.

Project Life - nearly there (& video)




As promised, here's my double page layout featuring Stampin' Up!'s new Everyday Adventures Project Life range. It's a lovely kit & I really enjoyed using it. I haven't scrapped for a few months and this has made me itching to get to it again!
 



You can buy this kit from my Stampin' Up! shop www.sambracegirdle.stampinup.net from Tuesday 10 June 2014. More new kits and an album will follow in July, in the 2014/15 catalogue.

Don't forget you can join for £50 at the moment - how about joining my team & including Project Life elements in your starter kit (to the value of £55)? Email me to check availability or if you want to know anything about joining, Project Life or Stampin' UP! :)

Scrapping with Stampin' Up!


Everyone* got very excited earlier in the week when it was announced that Stampin' Up! will be launching an exclusive Project Life range in the 2014/15 catalogue, but here's a reminder that SU already do really great scrapbooking products!

I'm currently working on my Mini Memories Simply Created album (133332). I'll post a video & some pics in the next couple of days. It's turned out really nice, perfect for small photos.




*that would be me. Yeah...sorry about that.
