PL & CY365 {June 2014}

Let me tell you, I really struggled with creating my Project Life pages for June. So much that I completely redid them both. Last month I printed all of my photos at smaller sizes and really liked that and wanted to continue that style. Unfortunately the sizes all seemed off and I wound up printing many of them over. Thank goodness several fit on one 4"x6" photo paper!

My other disappointment was using the electric typewriter that I took from my parents some months ago. I was not at all keen on how my journaling cards turned out and suffered the consequence of throwing them away.

Since I needed to pull from my stash, I used cards from Basic Grey {Fresh Cut}, Crate Paper {The Open Road}, and a letterpress card I made. The second page was all cards from my Studio Calico PL kit except for one Amy Tangerine {Cut & Paste} card.

I've never redone pages before, feeling that at least I got the project complete even if I felt less than stellar with the end result. I try not to beat myself up if something doesn't turn out quite as I pictured it. There's always more pretty paper and fun supplies, you know? :)

For my photo a day pages I was inspired to stamp and heat emboss on vellum from this recent post on the Studio Calico blog. I left out the acrylic painting step, but it's something I'd like to try in the future. While I was at it, I also heat embossed the word dream on the pretty cloud card. I used one of my free striped month printables and then cut out the sentiments from a couple of Project Life {Coral} cards to add to the Studio Calico ones.

Don't forget, all products in my Etsy shop are 15% off through the end of July so be sure to get your order placed with the code SUMMERSALE before then! Have a wonderful weekend! :)
