Project Life Week 17

Good morning all! Yes I have realized I skipped week 16. I have yet to put together the "events" pieces that belong in that week. So, rather than hold up what I can post here we are, week 17! For this week I used a set by Maggie Holmes for Crate Paper, which I received in my Citrus Twist kit. I think Crate Paper may have moved up to number one on my love list now! I just love all the colors in this line. Much of what went with it was sold out on Two Peas (my favorite place to shop!!!!)

Its funny, when I saw the new Project Life kits being advertised, I was totally committed to the Jade line as my number 1, and then Blush. I got both sets through HSN during their sale, and I think the Blush is my go-to grab for journal cards quite a bit. I used quite a few this week. I did use one from the Clementine line as well. I used washi, tab stickers, alphas, and tid-bits from October Afternoon, alphas from Lily Bee, an arrow from Studio Calico, labels from My Minds Eye (not sure for what line) and a stamp set from my Citrus Twist PL kit. Also, I always rummage the dollar bins at Target and they had pads of paper with list and to dos on them. I cut the one pad up so they were 4 sets of 3x4 cards, "To Buy", "To Do", "To Remember", and "To Call".

 

 

I have 2 inserts for this week, one covers an outing with the girls for summer clothes, and the other our first fire of the year. I also included Megans choir program, and a letter we received from the girls pediatrician telling us she is retiring. I include these things in my album whenever they I get things, but I do not photograph them, they are important to our family, but not to the general public!

Thank you again for stopping by, and if you are a newbie, please stop by again. I try to post every Tuesday.

Project Life Week 3

Today I am covering week 3 of Project Life. It includes some fun things like reading with Hannah, goodies in the mail, a new challenge, Hannah's spelling bee, a 50th birthday party and some very goofy girls!

For this week I mostly used Echo Park's Everyday Eclectic. I had the sticker sheets as well as the alphas. I also used alpha's from October Afternoon, Lily Bee,Thickers,and Basic Grey. I used a tag and index card from Staples, a few different kinds of washi, all purchased from www.twopeasinabucket.com . I also used a billing envelope (black and white criss crossed)I cut up as a journal card.

I had 2 inserts for this week, an 8 1/2x11 insert for Hannah's letter she recieved for the spelling bee, her study word list and her certificate, and the birthday party Steve and I went to. I will only show the party insert.

I may backtrack over the next few days and show you some of my favorites from 2012. I do have 3 albums worth to pick from! I will probably need that many again this year. We also took a trip to Disney that I broke down and decide to add to a "Vacation" binder. Too much for my regular album, but necessary to document. I will show you when I have more progress on that front!

PROJECT LIFE WEEK 1

This week is a packed week, lots of inserts. Although, if you watch thru the year, I love inserts! We had New Years Eve, a holiday get together and SNOW! I used a set from My Minds Eye for this week, can't remember the name, sorry. For my everyday weeks I use Design A.

My first insert is Design C with the right half cut off.

The second insert is Design F with the right stip of 3x4's cut off. You are seeing the back side of insert 1 and the front side of insert 2.

The third is Design A with the right half cut off, and the fourth is just a 8 1/2x11 page protector. You are seeing the back side of 2, and the front side of 3.

And finally, you will see the back side of 3 and the 4th and final insert!

I used title and journaling cards from the Clementine PL kit, a 2013 Memories start here card I found on www.Pinterest.com a journal card from Studio Calico, and a Happy New Year Card www.cathyzielske.typepad.com . I used glitter alphas from Thickers, mini market alphas from October Afternoon, and ABC stickers from LilyBee. The tab punch is from Ali Edwards, label sticker from October Afternoon, my Tim Holtz Stapler, a Martha Steward doily, a brad from My Minds Eye, stamps are from Technique Tuesday which i got from www.twopeasinabucket.com and a hello January tag from www.ellesstudio.com .
