Welcome to the 3rd issue of my “Make PRETTY Stuff” e*ideabook. I am so excited to introduce and explore my newest collection inside these pages. It is called Project Life® by Heidi Swapp! About one year ago I got a call from my friend Becky Higgins asking me if I would be interested in collaborating
on a “Heidi Swapp” edition of Project Life® . Although I
am a lover of pocket pages, I had never actually preserved my
memories using Project Life® and immediately ideas started to flow. I
was s uper excited about the creative possibilities!
Becky developed Project Life® to be a very
simple and straightforward way to document your life! The basic system consists of 3 elements:
1. Sets of pre-designed 4x6 and 3x4 cards 2. Photo Pocket Pages 3. Albums. All you have to do is combine photos with pre-designed cards and p hoto p ocket p ages, and you are ready to fill up your albums! But here is what I totally love about it ..... the process can be kept super simple, or you can add ‘pretty stuff’ and make it as creative and fun as you like! I invited 10 amazing women to contribute to this issue by sharing their stories, photos, and hearts using Project Life® products by Heidi Swapp. I wanted to feature a wide range of projects from the very simple and basic - to super interactive and creative! My hope is that no matter where you land on th e spectrum of time vs. creative energy, you will be inspired and motivated to print your photos and tuck them inside pretty pockets! Enjoy this and remember to... Make Pretty Stuff! TM

Cut out little elements from cards to act as embellishments for other cards & photos.
Use a big chunky marker to add mini-titles.
Cut a 4" x 6" photo in half, to perfectly fit into (2) 3" x 4" adjacent pockets.
Add a plastic page tab to the edge of the panoramic flaps to invite the reader to lift and LOOK!
Use different tip sized markers to add journaling right onto photos before they are placed in their sleeve.
TIPS FROM Ali
Ali Edwards is all about the story. To capture this special event, Ali printed her
journaling and included it inside a separate 8 ½" x 11" page protector that she then placed right in
between her 2-page spread.

USE THE 3" X 4" POLKA DOT STENCIL TO TRACE LITTLE CIRCLES & THEN
FILL WITH COLOR SHINE
The ‘monthly coloring cards’ are just perfect for adding COLOR! I love to use Color Shine; but you can also paint, stamp, or use pens
and markers to personalize!
1. Shake the bottle well; spray Color Shine onto a craft mat.
2. Dip the brush into the Color Shine, and allow it to soak the brush tip.
3. Color inside (or outside) the lines!

1. Remove the insert, and trace the shape onto another piece of paper.
2. Cut the shape out with scissors.
3. Fill the shape with journaling & sentiments to match your own photos!
IThow to customize
Sometimes a pre-made embellishment isn’t perfect for your specific needs and you might just want to “get creative” so that it works for your project!
86
“I wanted to include the team roster on this page, so I created a new insert for the interactive card. I also customized the title (covering up the words “picture time”) by cutting down a 3" x 4" die cut card from the Color Magic Value kit, spraying it with
Citron Color Shine and layering a 3" x 4" card from the Favorite Things Core Kit behind it.”

“add some spunk to your story by tracing the heart stencil shape onto a card and then turn it and use the flat edge to create

from Heidi:
91
A simple slit can be cut into the photo pocket page with an exacto knife to accommodate
interactive elements.
92
Add a clear card or vellum tag behind the opening of the instaframe opening to create a window. Then you can add
embellishments directly over the opening to add special effects and
sentiments to photos!
