I think my most absolutely favorite project in the Occasions Catalog is the Hellow Life Project Kit pictured on page 6 of the Occasions Catalog. Demonstrators received a sneak peek of the kit during a fun "launch party" during the first week of December. You've probably ready about me attending these before. My trip to Long Beach last spring? Or the New Catalog Launch Party at the home office in Riverton in 2013? Well, I didn't attend the "live" event in Columbus, OH this time around. Instead, I attended at one of the movie theaters a few miles away from the Stampin' Up! home office (which is also 15 minutes from where now I live)! I am friends with several of the SU staff members assigned to the Utah event and they were a little surprised to see me. And very surprised to hear that I now live in Utah!
Anyway, back to the project. I love the finished project just as it was designed. But, a few weeks ago I saw another demonstrator change it up and use different colors (I wish I remember who it was so I could give credit - if it was you, let me know and I'll gladly change this post). I loved the idea! I had already planned to change mine out every few month. But she inspired me to do it sooner and share it with you.
If you pay very close attention, the DSP featured in the kit is the EXACTLY same DSP that's in the Stacked with Love DSP Stack! You wouldn't think that would you since the colors are SO different? What's even better - the kit comes with LOTS of extra pieces! I was able to create a Valentine's version using the extra supplies and some of the Stacked with Love DSP and a few other supplies that are listed at the bottom of this post. I can display the Valentine's version for the next month and a half - then I can switch it out for the Crushed Curry version. And, when I get tired of that, I can easily decorate the metal frame with seasonal colors. It's already found a home on one of the walls in my new craft room.
If you're not a black and yellow fan, don't overlook this kit! It's so easy to swap out the few yellow bits with other colors! I'll bet you may even have some DSP and cardstock sitting around your craft room that you could use!
On a funny note after composing this post - the project doesn't look too bad, right? It fell BEHIND a toilet not once, but twice while I was trying to get it all prettified for the photo. I was devastated because I'd put quite a few hours into it trying to find the perfect patterns, arrangement, and then pom-pom assembly. Just so you know, if you're ever trying to set something on top of a toilet to get a good picture, a row of dimensional edges will prevent it from sliding behind the toilet.
