Project Life 2013: Week 4

March 6, 2013

So I am addicted to Pinterest and pinning different Project Life spreads for inspiration. I love getting to see what other people do for their spreads and how they embellish their cards, esp if they are not using a kit. And now I’ve been on the lookout for some cute free printables. I really like the kits that are available but I just have too much stuff to buy more stuff, you know in addition to the Studio Calico kit I get every month. ugh, pretty paper addiction!
Check out what I have been pinning: My Project Life Board

Week 4, Left Side:

Oh, you don’t document your love of bacon, egg, and cheeses? Whatever, so good. They make me happy so I wanted it in the book. And of course I had to take a picture of the candles I bought with the giftcard for my birthday from my newphews. Slatkin candles are my favorite!

Week 4, Right Side:

Pretty earrings, poker winnings, a parking ticket, and puppy time! I’ll take all that good for some bad… seriouly, I hate parking tickets!!! Esp $75 ones. At least when I look back at this I will be reminded about how we were dumb and didn’t realize that the great parking spot available was a loading zone. duh!!!

Project Life 2013: Week 3

March 5, 2013

I have totally been loving Project Life this year. I am not very far behind- just behind on posting- so everyhting is fresh and new for me to keep up with. Plus I have really been trying to make a point of having fun things in there and to do more to jazz up the cards. It is taking more time than last year but I have been enjoying the process.

So without further ado…

Week 3, Left Side:

When I was jsut taking the picture of the layout I realized that the ingauration photo was actually from 2009 since Sasha was standing on the box & then I noticed the coats. Thanks Google, so helpful that this is one of the to images for the search ‘Obama Ingauration Day 2013’. Well, I have the correct picture ready to print to I’ll make that swap!

Week 3, Right Side:

This was the week of my birthday, so this half of the page is focused on documenting that. I put in part of the card from my mom in the lower left pocket. The cupcake in the upper left pocket is from my coworker and behind is some journaling that is hidden. It was ~~kinda~~ really bitchy so I didn’t want that to be the focus of the page so I purposefully hid it. Just glad that this allows me to document lifes up’s and down’s.

Stay tuned for Week 4 tomorrow! 🙂

Project Life 2013: Week 2

February 9, 2013

So it’s snowing. In fact there is a lot of snow coming down now. Nemo has set up shop here and is dumping a ton of snow on us. A TON OF SNOW.

The best thing about the snow is getting to stay in and scrapbook. I’ve really been enjoying standing at my desk pulling out different papers and embellishments working on Project Life and creating new layouts. Unforgettably I did not plan well and have no photos. Crazy right!?!?

Well, either way. Lots of scrapbooking and baking going on this weekend and I love it.

This 2 page layout for Week 2 was fun to put together. Well, everything Project Life related is great but this was really great because I took some more time to create some more embellished inserts.

Project Life 2013: Cover and Week 1

January 16, 2013

I reworked my scrapbooking set up recently and it has really inspired me to get back to what I love doing. Clearing off my space and unearthing some really great embellishments, papers and stamps has really got me pumped. For example, I bought a stamp set from Studio Calico right before me moved. I could not find it afterwards so I figured it was an accidental casualty in the big clean when we moved. Well when I found it I did a little dance. I can’t wait to get to use it!!!

I really wish that this past week was not so freaking crazy otherwise I would have gotten both weeks 1 and 2 done in Project Life but at least I got week 1 done and I have quiet a bit of week 2 done. So excited to feel great about taking the time to scrapbook, even if it’s a few minutes each day.

Week 1-

Can’t wait for this upcoming year and to document it all in Project Life

Project Life 2012: Weeks 9 + 10

April 6, 2012

So Project Life has taken a bit of a back seat to REAL LIFE. Things have been so hectic since we put an offer on a place on the 25th. It was countered and we accepted that and then things started to get a little crazy. We had our inspection on Tuesday the 27th, the appriasal was on the 30th, and we signed the P&S documents last night. crazy!!!

I enjoyed this past week since I was able to play around with Project Life a bit more. I’ve been relishing the fact that I got to trim fun paper, not filling out papers with our info. Slipping photos and paper into the page protector pockets… pure bliss. I always feel a sense of accomplishment when I fill a pocket.

So real life is taking us to CT this weekend. I’m looking forward to seeing family and having more fun things to add to Project Life!!
