Stamping for Project Life with Lisa Truesdell

Hey Peas! For tomorrow's 2012 : Captured class, I'm going to be talking about stamps + Project Life. Which is, as far as I'm concerned, a match made in heaven. You can make them any color, they don't add bulk to your album, and you can use them week after week without running out. 

Rather than a tutorial, this month I'm bringing you a personal challenge. Here's what I want you to grab : 

graph or ledger patterned paper

your favorite stamps

3-4 colors of ink

washi tape

paper scraps. 

Cut your ledger paper down into 3x4 cards. Set a time for 15 minutes and see how many journaling cards you can make. This is a fun way to stock up on premade cards - now you'll just be able to grab them when you're ready to work on a week!

Here's what I came up with : 

 

(stamps used  Studio Calico Oh Happy Day & Stepping Stone Alphabet,  Technique Tuesday / Ali Edwards Favorite Love, December Daily & Life Right Now,  My Mind's Eye Be Amazing, Heidi Swapp Memory File stamps)

Happy stamping! Let me know how many you managed to make! And come back tomorrow for more stamp + Project Life inspiration. - Lisa

I love doing this! Although it usually takes me all night to do two sheets or 24. I see some great stamps here that I don't have. Thanks for sharing them :)

OH WOW!! I so need to do this as it would make it easier to just grab already made cards then working while I'm trying to put my week together. Thanks for the inspiration.
