Project Life Weekly Share

It has been a busy week! But then, when hasn’t it?

I am almost up to date on my Project Life folder, even though I still have a couple of things I want to document that happened during the last week, that aren’t in the folder yet.

 

This last week didn’t quite fit on the two 12x12 page protectors, especially with a few larger photos, so it was a great opportunity to use one of the 6x12 page protectors and insert six 4x6 photos into the mix! You may have noticed that I just LOVE page protectors of different sizes throughout my album. It really adds interest.

 

 

 

 

 

I also took some time out from re-organizing, purging and generally lightening my office and craft space to pre-make some of the 3x4 journaling cards.  This time I got a little more adventurous with a variety of stitches my machine does. Much to my surprise, a lot of them worked really well, even on multiple layers of cardstock!

Anyway, here are some of the cards I made! Most of them might get a little embellishment here and there, but I already have a good starting point for my journaling and little photos.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I particularly love how this stitch turned out!

Rooted In The Past Collection Available Again!

As many of you know, I have taken a break from digital scrapbook designing quite a while ago.

However, I still get weekly requests for some of my old kits, most often for the “Rooted In The Past” collection, so I decided to make it available again, at least for the time being!

Please note that I am not able to offer the packs individually. I am however offering the collection at a much reduced price, to make it more affordable!

Please see the store listing for a detailed description of what is included in each pack!

To refresh your memory, this is the collection I am talking about:

This last week and a bit (well actually it has been two weeks, come to think of it) I ended up with a lot of good photographs of the kids, and I decided to do a “week of food”, so the photos take much more of a center stage in the second week.

Since it was a really busy week, this was a perfect example of how Project Life can really adapt. I scrapped much less for each entry, but still have a rich documentation of our life, but in this case the photos and the journaling are mostly the stars, with a few ready made embellishments thrown in!  I figured I could always add at a later date if I felt the need!

I was a little concerned that the difference in “effort” might be visible,  but it doesn’t look like anybody really cares (or even notices), least of all the kids, who are quite enthralled with the Project Life album and seeing everything documented.

 

 

 

 

 

 

I made this one by printing out two maps, one of Edinburgh and one of Phoenix. Then I cut out a heart from the Phoenix one, overlayed it on the Edinburgh one and fastened them to each other with pop dots. Then I stuck a little red heart by Edinburgh, also with a pop dot.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Here I added a 5x7 Pocket by taping it to the edge of the 12x12 photo page. It’s totally invisible and allows me to open and close the pocket easily. So it doesn’t open when I don’t want it to, I added a super thin magnet between the pages of the 5x7 pocket and the inserts on the 12x12 page. I love having extra fold-outs and different sized pockets throughout the album. It adds so much interest and there’s always something new to find!

 

Here it is open. I used the extra pocket for collecting some of the photos the kids take with their “toy” cameras.

 

 

 

 

 

Since we thought the tooth lost and the tooth fairy didn’t actually “take” the tooth, it was decided to put it in the album after Max found it a few days later!

 

 

 

 

 

I have  photos of the food that comes out of my kitchen throughout my Album, but I thought it would be fun to have a few days to a week where I document our main meals or musings about the food we eat. As a result I have some photos from our dinners, some musings about butter lettuce (growing and eating it etc,) journaling about starting the day with spinach smoothies for the kids and me, etc.

I think it makes for a nice little snapshot of our food life.
