Friday Sketch with Kasia

Hello! It's Kasia here with a new set of pocket pages and sketches for you!

You know that I love bright pages with lots of white and pops of happy color - in April's kits I've founs my favorite ones to play with and I think mix of yellow and mint will stick with me for longer. Just have a look!

I used some backs of paper from 6x6 pad to create more white cards to fill my pockets and than played with stickers and embellishments from Pocket Life kit, as well as Main and Add-On kits.

I love mixing small pieces and adding with them details to my layouts - don't you think they look adorable?

Creating this month's pages was also a good excuse to practice my lettering! I recently started playing with hand lettering and why not incorporate it in my Project Life?

it will be fun to see it changing as I improve my skills! Also such a great way to add more personal touches to the album, don't you think so?

There are of course sketches waiting for you if you would like to repeat any of these simple compositions :) Remember that the way you play with sketch is up to you - you can rotate it, flip it or use its design upside down - just have fun with it!

Pocket Life Sketch Friday with Mira

Welcome Pocket Life Fans!

It's time for the first Pocket Sketch Friday this month! It's Mira here and I'll be sharing two sketches with You together with a couple of spring-related pocket pages that I've made with April Kits. This month I've played with Pocket Life and Sprinkles kits mixed with Add-on (which I think will be my monthly choice from now on). These kits are always filled with so many gorgeous stuff, especially tiny and colorful embellishments that I love the most! What about You? What's Your favourite part of each kit?

Here are the two sketches that I prepared for You:

And the pages from my album:

My pages are filled with pictures from our little walk when we were searching for the first signs of spring. Obviously after 30 minutes we ended up at playground - our daughter's favourite place! :) Luckily we took a few spring-related photos, so I can still pretend we were searching for those signs.

To highlight this uniquely fresh character of every spring season I kept my pages bright and colorful. Papers and cards from Pocket Life Kit helped a lot.

Also those colorful alpha stickers from Add-on kit did the job!

I used two Heidi Swapp flower stamps from Add-on kit to create my own springish journaling cards.

And here You have more details :))

I really love those white foam word stickers from Sprinkles kit and the word hope was the very best choice for my spread, since I miss sunbeams and flowers and nice temperatures so much! What about You?

Okay, that's it for now!
I hope the sketches will help You with Your pages! Don't forget to share them with us! You have a chance to win a price from Citrus Twist Kits! All You need to do is:

Pocket Life Sketch Friday with Mira

Hello Everyone! 

 It's Mira here with Pocket Life Sketch Friday challenge! Today I have two sketches for You and two Pocket Life pages to get You inspired!

Here's the first sketch:

As You can see I am a fan of design A and I use it in most of my PL pages:

I keep on adding very thick frames around the pictures so the final pages look consistently clean and I have plenty of space for embellishments! Here are the details:

And here goes the second sketch:

... and my inspiration:

This month kits were super bright so I admired absolutely everything what was inside, but I fell in love with one product especially: semi-transparent (kind of washi-tape type) stickers from March embellishment kit {I believe that was from Pink Fresh Studio :)}. Those stickers varied in colors and shapes so I was able to use them almost everywhere! For example to decorate this cool card from PL kit:

or to create my very own card:

What about You? What was Your favorite product from the kits this month? Feel free to share!

And if You happen to use this inspiration when creating Your own pages, remember that You have a chance to win a price! Here's how: Create a layout based on the sketch, post your layout to our Gallery or our Facebook Fan Page by Friday, March 31st and be sure to include PL 03/31 in the title!

Pocket Sketch Friday with Mira

Hello Everyone!

It's Mira here with Pocket Life Sketch Friday challenge! Today I have a very clean and simple pocket page to share, together with one simple sketch to follow. If You try to work with this sketch You will be able to achieve similar clean effects in Your albums! Wanna try it?

I've recently found out that I love having white, thick frames around my photos. It makes the album looks very clean and elegant. It also makes a lot of space for my favorite embellishments. This month I've been working with "Emerson" Pocket Life Kit together with Embellishment Kit. And here's what I prepared:

My pictures are still big enough to see what's in them, but I have a plenty of white space around them, what makes the whole layout very balanced.

I've been using the same frame thickness for a while, and now when I walk through the album it's very consistent. I love that simple effect!

Additionally, each month I create my own pocket cards using papers from Citrus Twist Kits PL Kits. They are  filled with a lot of white space, so the balance of the whole pages is always kept on the same level.

Have You ever tried this trick? It's easy, and the results can be really satisfying.

Now You can try this idea, and here's the sketch that can help You to achieve the desired effects:

If You happen to use this inspiration, remember that You have a chance to win a price! 

Here's how: Create a layout based on the sketch, post your layout to our Gallery or our Facebook Fan Page by Friday, November 18th and be sure to include PL 11/18 in the title!

Pocket Life Friday - Use some numbers as your composition base!

Hello on Friday! It's Kasia here with another pocket pages inspiration (and a sketch of course!) made with the gorgeous June Capri PL kit and some bits and pieces from sprinkles and embellishments kits!

Probably you know by now that I love when my pocket pages are light, happy and cheerful - I always start with building a base of whatever white elements I can find - luckily there were plenty of them inside Capri Pocket Life kit! Wohoa!

When I looked through my photographs from that week I noticed I only have pictures taken with my iPhone camera - it's ok though, I don't strive to use only camera taken photos for my albums. All the pictures I picked have been already edited for instagram with A Color Story app - it's my go to editing app these days! 

When I started working on my pages layout I got totally inspired by a 3x4 card from the PL kit  which says "5 favorites" - I decided to build my composition around this card's theme. 

I numbered my photos from 1 to 5 and wrote the corresponding journaling on the card. It's a fun way to change things a bit and higlight some favorites from here and now! I'll definitely repeat this trick some time soon!

I prepared a simple sketch for you showing the bones of my spread. It's made with 9x12 album in mind but you can easily recreate it for another format. The sketch will allow you to create a well balanced and airy entry to your album - just follow it, especially if you also love to use your square, instagram pictures!

Below are some juicy details for you for further inspiration how to play with this month's kits.

And here you can see once again my list inspired pages. Using the numbers helps to guide the eye through the page and keeps everything nice and organized. I challenge you to try this technique in summer!

I hope you enjoyed today's post! Have a wonderful and creative weekend!
