Well I have been resisting PL for awhile now, but slowly inching that little bit closer to giving it ago. I brought the pockets some time ago, I purchased gorgeous PL Cards and have been using them on my layouts instead. I just couldn't bring myself to the point of starting, I would get lost in doing a layout instead.
Then....... Nicole from Craftqueen asked me would I mind doing a couple of pages for her, so instead of dipping my toe in the waters, I had to jump right in !
I can see it is a great way to go with doing some of my travel pages ( as we all normally tend to do, I took a LOT of photo's , that will take me FOREVER to get scrapped traditionally)
I also have decided it is how I am going to document my Mother's day this year. Get a whole event done in a couple of pages , brilliant!
So this is my first attempt at PL. The pages are of the Ville d' Este Gardens in Tivoli
flower charm in the middle of the Doily from Craftqueen.
Light bulb Vellum Circle from StudioFourteen40
The gardens are so beautiful . Now some close ups
The Facts tab file is from StudioFourteen40 fabulous for PL
Also The Remember File Tab from StudioFourteen40
The Travel ribbon From Craftqueen and the Flair from StudioFourteen40 Post Mark Range.The flairs are flat backed so great for PL and how gorgeous is the ribbon also perfect for travel pages. PL cards a mixture of Kaiser and MME from Craftqueen. I love them, they are so versatile and not to mention pretty!
So thank you for looking at my first try of PL. For one that never thought I would go there , I would recommend it.
Love and Peace

I'm loving all your PL pages. Hope you're finding it quick & easy. Doesn't mean that you've gone to the dark side ha ha, I still love scrapping the traditional way & will continue to do a lot of our Travel pics that way but PL is great for showcasing all of your photos in one album without all the bulk. I bet you're enjoying the walk down memory lane :)
I felt the exact same way as you! Now that I have been sucked in, I'm finally finishing off the album from our trip to Germany 6 years ago! All those photos that weren't great are finally getting used
Testing the waters? I'd say you've dived straight in & discovered you can not just swim, but win the race....looks like you're a born PLer methinks.....love seeing your pics all together like this:):)
And do I spy a change to your blog?? Updating? Liking the 'clean' blue behind...or maybe my browser isn't working properly, LOL!!!!!
This is perfect for your travel photos, and it looks really good too!
All I can say is WOW! What beautiful, beautiful photos, Mary! Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful PL pages with all of us! I hope you are having a wonderful day, my friend! ♥
This looks brilliant!!! You have rocked it! I wish I could wrap my head around PL - I will have to use you for a muse :0)
Oh what a fabulous job you've done! Can't believe it's your first time. I love the photo size you've used too. Wonderful!
Wow! What fabulous PL pages! Wonderful photos and looks here! <3!
