Shimelle's Weekly Challenge, Go Monochromatic

For this week's challenge at 

Shimelle.com

we're going monochromatic. 

Pick one color, 

(neutrals like black, white, gray, and brown don't count of course, because they are NOT colors and aren't on the color wheel) 

and scrapbook with tints and shades of that color.

Blue-green is my fave, so obviously that was my choice!

Using Kellie Stamps new March 2016 Release "Go See Do" and American Crafts Shimelle Starshine paper. Simply used the digital stamps set from Kellie Stamps to create custom patterned paper using the "Road Trip" stamp and color matched it with the eyedropper tool in Photoshop, so that it would coordinate with the Shimelle Starshine paper. Starshine papers used: Galileo, Phoenix, and Rosetta.

This layout is based on a layout from Geralyn Sy at Studio Calico:

Just a few embellishments from my Clique Kits Feb. Kit.

Thanks for visiting today, and happy crafting!

Project Life® and Kellie Stamps February Pages

So in love with the February Kellie Stamps releases!

Sharing Week 4 insert for Project Life Creative Team 2016

using the "More of This" set from Kellie Stamps  

and the Everyday Edition of Project Life®.

You CAN DO THIS WITHOUT PHOTOSHOP! Super easy tutorial below!

 Love the sentiments! The "More of This" set is perfect for February or year round documenting your  loves!

 You simply can open the .jpg version of the stamps ( Each set comes with several versions for versatility )  and place it in a Word document on a PC or the Pages app on a MAC. Drag it to the size you would like and print it on vellum. So easy right?!!

Then, cut your printed stamps to the size you need, and run them through your Xyron Sticker Maker, or adhere with your fave adhesive for vellum.

It is that easy!

Learn more about Project Life® at BeckyHiggins.com

and see the great stamps I used at
