Project Life | Week 12

Well, it's happened. I've fallen a couple weeks behind. Between a vacation, birthday and family visiting I haven't found the time to keep up with Project Life. But I know the catch up won't be too difficult so I'm not worried about it.

This week is from Spring Break and our vacation to San Antonio. I'm so glad we went, it was a great trip and we had so much fun. Because there was no way I could fit all of the photos I took on our trip on these two pages, I also made a separate Shutterfly photo book of our vacation. You can see the book at the bottom of this post.

I used the Clementine Edition and some of the Bridgeport Childhood Edition. You can check my Pinterest Board for links to products I've used on my pages.

Project Life | Week 11

This was a fun week for our family. It was Violet's birthday and Hunter had a special event on Saturday. I had around 250 photos to choose from this week. This was one of those weeks I wish I could add an insert or two. But I've decided to print the book through Shutterfly and I think there is a 110 max page limit so not much room for any extra pages besides the weekly layouts. I have considered trying another book printing company that allows more pages but I'll have to consider that more at the end of the year. I am trying really hard to stick to the two pages each week.

I used mostly the Clementine kit and I added some embellishments throughout the pages from the Storyteller freebie from Persnickety prints. These pages were very photo heavy so I tried to add some little things too make it a little more cute. There was sooo much more journaling and pictures I could have added but I will probably make a separate little photo book for Violet's birthday because she loves looking at books about her and then I can include more. One way I was able to add a little more content was by taking video of Hunter's event and just adding the QR scan code. As always, you can visit my Pinterest board to find links to products I used.

Project Life | Week 10

So, I didn't post last week. I did finish my pages (a little late) but there was so much personal information in them, I just felt it was easier not to share. This week I covered up some faces of friends for their own privacy. This was a great week for us and filled with lots of fun. I used mostly the Project Life Clementine kit and few extras. I think you can find all of them on my Pinterest page.

Project Life | Week 8

This week I was very short on photos and videos but still had enough photos to finish this spread and tell the story of this week. I have come to the conclusion that while I am working on current pages I get frustrated and don't like them so much, not sure why. Then when I look back on them later, I am satisfied with them and think they look just fine. So I am going to continue just getting the pages finished and not stress over the 'look' of it. Because what really matters is that my kids can look back on our life at this time. I would like to get better at taking a variety of photos. Seems like the photos are always of the kids and they are always looking at the camera. I would like to put more effort into a variety of pictures for the rest of the year. I just love their cute little faces an don't ever want to forget what they look like at this age.

Anyway, here are my pages using mostly the Clementine kit and a variety of brushes, plus a few little extras. You can see most of the products/freebies I use on my Pinterest page. Let me know if you have any questions about anything I used. Thanks for looking!

One really neat photo I had for this week was a picture my husband's mom sent of my hubby when he was little. When I saw it, I immediately thought of the photos I took of my son for his last birthday. The bottom left photo is my husband's pic side by side with my son's picture 25 years difference. I love it. They don't look identical but you can see the similarities and the fact that they are wearing the exact same thing blows me away too. Two life long Detroit Tigers fans here! :)
