Project Life Addict

[TinaLala]

So I have found Project Life and love it! I don't do a weekly page, but I do take mor epicures so I can "Be more involved in my life" which has helped me. I found a ton of Disney cards in Pinterest which I can't wait to use for our next trip.

Do you buy your PL cards or just print them off?

I have done a combination of both..

do pop over and visit my thread on Creative DISigns @TinaLala..... there are hundreds of PL journal & filler cards there to feed your PL love I love PL cards - I digiscrap so I tuck the cards in here and there on my layouts and then get each layout printed as an 8x8 for my albums.

Pixiesprite has awesome project life style cards! I have used them on several of my layouts.. Here is an example:

I have gotten so many great cards here: http://www.disboards.com/threads/co...-no-chatter-or-request-please.3072096/page-10. Pixiesprite is awesome! Plus, I have also bought Project Mouse digi kits, and gotten the cards printed at Walmart.

I like including bits of real life things, so if we've been to the cinema I photograph the movie ticket and extract that to use that as an embellishment, or advertising flyers, maps, birthday cards etc. You can shrink them down digitally to fit nicely in your layout. All of those are fun to look at again. I've seen some people make little envelopes from craft paper that they stick onto the PL sleeve and pop folded programmes/maps etc. Then they stick a little "look inside" label on the front of the envelope. very cute and so easy!

Pixiesprite - I totally agree! I collect things throughout the week/month in a bucket and then bring them to my craft table and make magic. I think these little personal touches make all the difference when you look back on them and remember.

It's the hoarding, I mean collecting and finding the embellishments that I'm still working on. LOL!

So my friend and I split this local yard sale post on Facebook and got a TON of goodies!! Create a critter2 cartridge, tons of stickers, alpha stickers, card stock, decorative scissors, pens, and rub-ons. Not to mention metal square and big paper storage. So excited!

I finished these two pages from a vocal show I went with Girl Scout trip and a drama production my daughter was in. SO many options now with all this fun stuff!

This is for my Project Mouse digit kits - I use an old version of photoshop to put two 3x4 cards onto a 4x6 palette; save as a jpeg file; upload them to Walmart; then get them printed just like a regular picture. I don't do totally digital scrapbooking; rather, I like to use Creative Memories pages, then place my pictures and 3x4 cards or 4x6 cards onto them.

The Project Mouse digi kits might have a page of some cards on an 8 1/2x11 page that you can print off at home, but I prefer the professional version. I save my color ink for "I really need this right now" kind of pictures.

I have also found free stuff on Pinterest.

Thank you tefrench for explaining this! Walmart has never givend you a hard time about printing disney designs? Our office depot won't print any design that have a disney related item on them. So I am looking for other options.

I've never had an issue with the Project Mouse cards, or anything similar. I think, though, if I try to print obvious Disney photopass pics, they ask for the release from Disney. Hope this works for you!
