Project Life - Becky Higgins Kit

When this opportunity came along I was doing a happy dance. Project life by Becky Higgins is a scrapbook line, which can I say it " fantastic products", she just blows me away with all the fun things you can do with these kits.
I was lucky enough to get to play with one of her newest kits: 
Vintage Travel Edition
When I received my kit and was able to shuffle through all the fabulous cards I was so giddy with creative mojo. This is a great kit for all you who love to travel or have little boys. The kit includes cards with airplanes, trains, hot air balloons, automobiles, world maps and so much more. 

Her kits are built so that you can scrapbook quick and easy,
 while still looking fantastic.
You can find other great kits @ http://www.beckyhiggins.com/blog/

The photo below shows that you will need an album, (1) of her kits, Photo pocket pages, your own photos and a pen to complete a page. 


Below I created a 2 page layout using only the above required products. 
I grabbed my album, chose which photo pocket pages I was going to use, found the cards that would be perfect with my train photos, arranged all the photos and cards, then last but not least did my journalling and I had a finished 2 page layout. 


But I didn't stop there. I decided to do it old school also. To show you how
 many ways you can use this kit. I love adding extras. So on this 2 page layout I picked 2 brown 12x12 pages for the background. Then looked for cards in the kit that would match my photos and colors. created a great layout with both. Then added a touch of this and a touch of that with washi tape, metal buttons, puffy words and red glittery thickers.





Not only can you use this kit for scrapbooking but so many other things as well. Here I used some of the cards to decorate an envelope. But the possibilities are endless. Because this is an adventure kit you can take one of the cards, put your personal info on the front, laminate the entire card, punch a hole at the top, add a ribbon and you now have a personalized travel tag to tie onto your luggage. You can also turn one into a To/From tag for a gift bag.


Using this kit was so much fun. 
You'll have to keep an eye out for any other projects that come out in the future.

Wizard of Oz Shoot!!

On the last leg of my Oregon coast trip we we're driving between Cannon Beach and Portland. This is a gorgeous stretch of road, everything was budding and green. We came across this old run down house and I just had to stop and take a couple photos. It is part of my Wizard of Oz collection because it reminded me of the farmhouse that the famous Kansas tornado picked up and dropped in the magical land of OZ. 




The next set of photo's was a massive field of these red flowers. 
I decided to add these also to my Wizard of Oz collection.
I know that the flowers were poppies in OZ. 
but seeing this massive field covered in red flowers, screamed OZ to me. 
I kept seeing dorothy, toto, the lion, scarecrow and the tinman waltzing across this field, rejoicing in the fact that the Emerald City would be on the opposite side of the field. almost there.
It was an amazing sight.
I hope you all enjoy this series of photos.





Happy Viewing!!!
