    A quick reminder: the Project Life Olive Edition SALE ends tonight at midnight EST over at Amazon.com.

    I also want to introduce you to the digital version of the Olive Edition, which is on sale today at ACDigitals.com
    as well. The entire digital kit is available for only $10.15, or you
    can purchase portions of the collection for $3.19 each. Have a look.
    There are a ton of designs included in the kit. A serious deal.

    Heather Johnson recently posted these layouts she created with the Olive
    Edition digital kit. Aren't they gorgeous!? I love how she layered the
    gray chevron print with the turquoise floral background and balanced
    the bold titles across the spread. Great job, Heather—I love what you
    put together. Super fun.

    Heather is a photographer and a blogger from St. Paul, Minnesota. She is also on Becky Higgin's Creative Team
    this year, which means she is a talented idea machine, churning out
    Project Life inspiration left and right. I'm excited to see what she
    does next with my designs. This is truly the most fun aspect of my
    business—seeing what people make of my finished work. I love it.

  • Olive Edition – Hot Off the Press

    ByHeather Bailey

    I have fun news today. My Olive Edition core kits and papers for Project Life
    have arrived. They are now in stock at Amazon.com and available for purchase
    with Amazon's FREE Super Saver Shipping. Becky assures me that she
    ordered gobs of product, but she also laments that her products tend to
    sell out with ridiculous speed. I'm not sure where that leaves us on
    urgency.

    But, I do know that it's the beginning of a new year—and the perfect time to get going on a Project Life album. The Project Life concept makes
    documenting your life fun—and easy. You only have to fuss as much as
    you like to fuss. And if you don't like to fuss, there's no need to
    fuss.

    For Project Life, you use pocket pages to organize your photos and
    then you add in color, design and documentation using one or more of the
    Project Life kits—like my Olive Edition core kit here. Each core kit comes with hundreds of cards
    for jotting down key bits of information pertaining to the photos in
    your album. Everything goes in a pocket page. And there are lots of pocket-page configurations to choose from. Super simple.

    The Olive Edtion core kit
    is housed in a chic, glossy box and organized as you see below, in a
    tidy tray. In the larger compartment, there are title cards and foldable
    journaling cards with lots of writing space. All of the smaller cards
    have artwork on one side and journaling space on the reverse.

    There are scrapbookers who go wild with their embellishments,
    preferring all sorts of texture and flair within their layouts. And
    there are others who like simple, clean layouts. Project Life is
    designed to satisfy everyone.

    I like goop, well-done goop, that is. But, I don't have time to goop.
    I do have time, however, to slip photos and cards into pockets. And my
    kids are expert pocket-slipper-inners. Project Life works for me and my
    busy, busy life in this way.

    Of course, you know I'll find at least a dozen other ways to sneak
    Olive Edition cards from their well-ordered little box and use them for
    other purposes: gift tags, thank you cards, bookmarks, valentine
    ornaments—lots of ways to spread this loveliness about.

    Oh, that's right. There's a 12"x12" coordinating paper pack. I can use that.

    There are also some cool, plastic month dividers and a coordinating
    album/binder that should be in stock soon. These are still making their
    way to Amazon's warehouse.

    Here are links to the products available so far:

    • Olive Edition Core Kit
    • Olive Edition Paper Pack

    To pull up my collection over on Amazon as items are added, search "Olive Edition Project Life" in their Arts, Crafts & Sewing Department. I don't think Becky has "Heather Bailey" on the listing yet.
