Pocket Style May Challenge: Stitching!

This month the DT has outdone themselves with the stitching challenge.  Can  you even believe these projects? To make it easier you can use machine, hand, or faux stitching!

We have Kelly back with us this month as our guest designer!

I'm a thirty-something, married new mum, just returning to work after my maternity leave. I work full-time to support my babe, my crafty hobby and my travelling bug. I've been scrapbooking for 5 years, starting after my month long trip to Spain to complete the Camino de Santiago (It's the only album I've ever completed!) As for the travelling...I've been to Europe - London, Paris, and all across Spain (Barcelona, Madrid, Malaga, Mijas, Santiago de Compestella, Segovia & Toledo are the highlights)and to the Dominican Republic and Cuba, all since 2008.

April Smash Book Challenge: It's all about the firsts!

The smash team has come up with a great challenge for this month.  They chose to showcase a page dedicated to "firsts".  The "first" can be anything and completely up to you!

Our guest designer this month is Marion!  She completely rocked this challenge!

My name is Marion Esposito, I’m 47 years old and live in Northern Virginia.  I was born in sunny California and I have to admit, I miss the weather!  I have always loved art growing up, and kept a journal since I was about 9 years old.  Over the years I have discovered that there are many ways to document your life aside from just writing in a book.  There is Art Journaling, Project Life, Smash Books, Photo Journaling, Illustrative Journaling, Gluebooks, to name few, and I do all of them!

For this challenge as a Guest Designer, I was given the topic, “First Day.”  The most significant thing I could think of was the first day I became a Nana to my wonderful grandchildren.  I’ll never forget what it was like to hold each one of them for the first time.  I designed a Smash Book layout showing the first day in the hospital and the joy I continue to experience with both them. 

I am married to a man who suffers with PTSD and Traumatic Brain Injury.  Art Journaling for me has been an outlet, a creative way to express how I’m feeling and provides the therapy I need to get through the difficult days.  I am grateful to be able to share what I love with you all and hope that you find inspiration to explore what you love as well.

  

Now for our fantastic Design Team ladies!

April Project Life challenge: PASTELS!!!

Our April challenge is here, and it fits into spring! We are asking you to show us your pastel colours! Our guest designer this month is Susanne and she found us through our facebook group. She is one talented lady!

Hi, my name is Susanne and I live in Mackay, a small town in Queensland, Australia. I have only been doing PL since September 2013, when my sister introduced me to this whole new world of documenting our everyday life. Before that I had been a scrapbooker for over 10 years. I do really enjoy how PL takes the stress and pressure away and makes it all so simple and easy.

I am engaged to my very understanding fiance and we have a gorgeous little girl, who is 20 months old. I work part time as a paint specialist in our local hardware store.

It's been such an honour having had the opportunity to be a guest designer here on the Life In Details blog, thank you.

Check out the flap!

Here is the page with the flap open.  Truly inspiring!
