Project Life 2012 | Week 8

This week I used Design A for the week pages and Design G for the insert.

Here is what the week looks like without the insert in it.

Left Side

On the left side I included a Starbucks card my mom sent me and the fortune out of a Panda Express fortune cookie.

Right Side

 I added a grid journaling card and "love you" cut out from my local scrapbook store to this Instagram photo.

 I added a grid journal card to this Instagram photo also and a Today tag from Elle's Studio. I made my first order from them last week and love everything I ordered. Excited to use it all!

I grabbed a cardboard coaster from Outback while we were there for dinner to include this week and also printed a screen shot from a text message with my hubby.

 This week I included an insert from a special Western Day at my son's school.

The letters I used on this photo were from the dollar section at Target when they had the Valentine's stuff out.

Project Life 2012 | Week 7

I was looking forward to making this week's pages just because I knew I would be using pinks and hearts :)

For the left side I used Design E. I also used Persnickety Prints for the first time this week to print three 6x6 photos. They came quickly and looked great so I will probably be using them again. The top right and bottom left photos are Instagram photos.

I made this on Photoshop. I used the PL Cobalt digital paper and elements. And the shape is from Designer Digitals. I love being able to include some digital scrapbooking too thanks to the digital Project Life products.

 I also included a card Hunter brought home from school for me. Love this! (Another reason I chose to use Project Life this year instead of digital scrapbooking. I love being able to include things like this.) I put some Cobalt card stock behind the card.

 The right side is Design A. I got the hearts sticker at Walmart and the "This is Life" is from Ali Edwards.

Another week finished and loving Project Life!

Project Life 2012 | Week 6

After having a rough week last week with Violet sick, this week made up for it! We had a great week so I couldn't wait to get working on my Project Life pages.

The left side is Design B.

 I just turned the title card sideways. I think it still looked fine.

The right side is Design E and I specifically chose this one so that I could add a DVD that I made this week.

I joined Ali Edwards in documenting "A Day in the Life" of our family. I used video instead of pictures though. I found the "embracing the everyday" on Designer Digitals and the orange arrow is part of the Cobalt digital elements.

I used Ali Edwards freebie for the "A Day in the Life" on the orange paper. The orange and green paper is Project Life Cobalt paper.

And I slipped a DVD of the video I made into this pocket.

Here is the video I made. I just love my kids and I love the ages they are at right now. I will miss this age when they are older.

On the top right I put highlights from our week.

I was super excited when Becky Higgins posted my email on her blog. I had to include that his week!

It was a really good week and I'm looking forward to next week's pages to be very pink and red for Valentine's Day! :)

Project Life 2012 | Week 5

Finished another week of Project Life. This was a rough week because poor sweet Violet got sick with bronchitis and an ear infection. Lack of sleep and lots of coughing in our house this week!

The pictures aren't the best this time and little blurry and a little glare but I didn't have time to get any better photos than this. You get the idea :)

My favorite thing to do with the Instagram photos is to put them in Photoshop and add a digital paper for the background. Then I can just print them on the normal 4x6 prints and they look great. I even added some text to this photo of Violet.

 Here is how it looks in the book. The colors don't always print to match exactly but good enough.

I also did this one in Photoshop with the Project Life digital paper.

I used the little days of the week stickers this week. I think they looked okay and they helped me match the photos to the journaling since I am using Design C & Design B and it makes matching everything up a little more challenging.

I had to include the Starbucks bag because I seriously LOVE the raspberry chocolate truffle cake pops at Starbucks. I wish I had never tried one. They are soooo good!

I also used my first insert this week. It's all about a friend's birthday party Hunter went to on Saturday. I blurred out the faces for privacy so the photos look a little funky.
