Nkat Issues and Project Life

Are you a Project Lifer? 

It is a quick and easy way to keep your scrapbooks about the everyday.

I'm afraid to start as it would mean another job for me to keep up with

but if I was pressed for time and scrapping just for me

it would definitely be a goer!

Paper Issues has teamed up with Nkat Designs to offer 

a 3 month subscription to her Project Life Kits.

They look a bit like this but contain heaps more!

To be in the running all you have to do is......

1. Like Paper Issues on Facebook

2. Like NKat Designs on Facebook

A Challenge!

I haven't had much time lately for challenges

but DH was away last week so I snuck in a bit of daytime play

(don't tell!). Kraft It Up was the first one I managed to finish,

and inspired by some photos that I took for the

Dec. Crop Kit at S&C (I designed it)

I put together this page with a rare pic of my

two youngest happy together!

There's not a lot to it, some mists, patterned paper stars & cardstock stickers (inc. alphas)

from Echo Park, Dymo, Tim Holtz Kraft PP, machine stitching,

and some craft wire I got in a kit from the divine Lou Nelson 

(which I have never used before on a layout but am now totally converted to).

Why don't you play along too?

Playing with their vintage findings and book/magazine pages,

and they have lace, and washi,and corrugated cardboard that you

don't have to pull the top layer off...... Sorry, I'm gushing.
