Now onto the card! I don't know about you, but sometimes I have trouble NOT adding colour to my cards. I mean, I LOVE a pop of colour on my cards, but the Designer Series Paper `Back in Black` makes creating a black and white colour scheme so easy and so eye catching! Even without adding colour it creates such an elegant look. I hope you like it too!

Good Morning!

I hope you are enjoying the last few weeks of summer. We've had some better weather here so we are back to feeling like it's still summer, at least for now until school starts. 🙂 

Today, I've got a new scrapbook page to share and I finally got to use Project Life! Everything but the Kraft cardstock is Project Life cards, even the page and photo mats because with the digital version you can resize to whatever size you need!  The dots on the background are actually the banner stamp in the Everyday Adventure kit, but I hid the banner under the pink layer 🙂

Supplies used:

PROJECT LIFE REMEMBER THIS stamp Brush Set – DIGITAL DOWNLOAD  also available in photopolymer stamps 
EVERYDAY ADVENTURE DIGITAL PROJECT LIFE CARDS – DIGITAL DOWNLOAD  also available in paper version

Kraft Textured Card Stock available in paper and digital version
