04/13/19 - Happy Lunar New Year

I just want to start off by saying: I really, really like these pages.... a lot!

I don't know why exactly.

Perhaps it's the subject matter

or

the memories they bring back

or

that I'm just really into Project Life (style) pages lately

or 

the simple yet still fun feel of them

or 

all of the above

Whatever it is, they make me smile!

Also they were fun to make (both digitally and traditionally).

 

 

Both pages are 12x12 Digital/Traditional Hybrid Project Life Pages

Each page was created on the PL App and then embellished IRL w/ stickers, and/or doodling, and/or stamps.

The "pocket/journaling" cards (3 total) are digital downloads from "In a Creative Bubble" - the Lunar New Year Collection. I purchased and then imported them into the Project Life App.

We celebrated the 2019 Lunar New Year, the Year of the Pig, with a trip to LA with friends.

The wife is actually Chinese; from China.

It's always extra fun to have her w/ us for these type of events. We've celebrated Lunar New Year in other ways before and, just like w/ this trip, she is able to explain things to us, elaborate on what we are seeing, and also share stories from her childhood growing up in China.

I love that David was able to get almost a full photo of the long Chinese Dragon in the parade, and that I was able to include it on my page!

"Happy Lunar New Year" - Page 2

I made sure to spell out Bruce Lee on the photo of his statue because even though I know who he is, I figure maybe future generations wouldn't.
Though I teased my husband and said, "Is that Jackie Chan?" LOL
But he knew I was teasing!

The rest of the embellishments are from Elle's Studio, Studio Calico, and Kelly Purkey.

This is also part of Project Life Week #06.
I'll be back another time to show you the rest of that week.
