PLxSU Trio Challenge - week 6

So, I'm really interested to see what you think of this week's challenge. I think it's going to be a love it or hate it situation. Ready? Wait for it...

We want you to use: Selfies! That's right. We think it's a really fun idea to use selfies on your layouts this week.  :D

Now...some of you may be cheering - the rest of you just rolled your eyes. But hear us out! Trust me, the Trio isn't on the selfie bandwagon. In fact, usually when we take a selfie it's a joke between us. We text each other our "beautiful" selfies and die laughing. It is truly an endless source of entertainment. Who knew? All joking aside, selfies have become part of our culture - like it or not. So, we decided to have some fun with it. And I have to admit, I love how this turned out. In fact, my heart may have just warmed up to the idea of selfies. Just a bit ;)

Now, don't worry - this doesn't have to be a page all about you; although, would that be so bad? We love getting to know you and besides, if you're preserving your memories - they should include you and not just your family, right?

My page is full of selfie's that my kids took when they "borrowed" my phone, but I do have selfies of me and I'll work on those pages to post on our Facebook page this week. So you'll have to jump on FB to see them :)

Oh, these three little men. They melt my heart!

I've talked before about how I'm a fan of embellishments and although I really  like the PL app it bugs me that I can't embellish more. Plus, there are only a few options when adding text. Well, as I was working on this page it occurred to me that I could create the page in the PL app, save it to my phone and then open it in the Rhonna Designs app and add some fun text and graphics! I'll admit it - I called myself a genius. Out loud. But I'm still quite humble, so no worries.

I am so excited about the way this turned out! It was so easy and incredibly fast - I was done in no time. And I love it!

FYI - I used the Kiwi Edition and the Teen Themed Boy cards.

We're all super excited to see what you post this week! But before you do that, check out Holly and Cori's pages. You're gonna love them!

PLxSU Trio Challenge - week 5

Welcome back to another PLxSU Trio Challenge! We're excited for this one and we think you will be too :)

This week, try using banners and/or flags on your layouts. This could be as simple as using a PL card with a banner on it, or you could embellish your pages with a banner you make - maybe out of paper or washi tape? The sky's the limit!

I've been working on documenting the time we spent with my parents over Christmas Break in the PL app and I thought they would be perfect for this challenge.

See, easy peasy! Nothing fancy, just pictures and super cute PL cards. I used the Maggie Holmes Style Board Mini kit and the Love Themed cards. 

I will say, I'm a huge fan of embellishments - give me some ribbon and buttons and I'm a happy camper - so I've struggled with the feeling that my pages are too plain, but bit by bit I'm becoming more comfortable with it. 

We've had so much fun looking at your pages and being inspired by your ideas the last few weeks. Thank you for following along with the challenge! Make sure to check out Holly and Cori's pages too! 

PLxSU Trio Challenge - week 4

Hi there! I was shocked to realize that this is our 4th week of the challenge. Time flies when you're having fun, right?

Are you ready for another PL Challenge? This week we're challenging you to use arrows on your PL layouts. Personally, I love arrows and use them all the time so this wasn't too hard for me ;)

It was a crazy busy weekend for us so I decided to use the PL App this time around. It's so nice to be able to put together a page so quickly and to be able to scrap the photos that are on my phone already.

Putting a bunch of photos on one layout is perfect for a situation like this, where I had several pictures of my son, but all with different expressions. It's pretty much the same picture over and over, but I think the PL layout helps keep it from feeling overused. 

I found some cute cards with arrows on them - I used the Just Add Color, Midnight and Project 52 editions.

We're having so much fun with this challenge and we love seeing the pages you post each week on our Facebook page. Thanks so much for playing along and sharing our love of Project Life! 

Make sure to check out Holly and Cori's adorable pages too! 

MDS Blog Hop - What are you working on?

Hello everyone! Hope you're feeling inspired by today's blog hop!

Currently I'm trying to play with some of my new downloads! I'm really excited about all the Project Life goodness coming our way. I love the concept of PL, but I still really love to make traditional layouts so for this layout I used the PLxSU downloads but stuck with my usual style. I had fun cropping the different cards and grouping them with other cards for a whole different look. There are so many fun things in the PLxSU kits that it'll definitely keep you busy for awhile!

Next up is Cindy! Have a great day!
