Project LIfe week 13

PL layout week #13

The first page of this week's layout  (and part of last week's on the left hand side)

Hello everyone,

As i am writing this, i just realized that i mislabeled this week's layout.  We are on week 1, which means this page should read " WEEK 13" on the top right card... It will be changed after this (oops!)

Well, i am still keeping up with a weekly PL layout.  For this week, I chose to continue with the sunny floral paper and the yellow scheme.  This beautiful paper for My Mind's Eye was cut to fit into each of the pockets, and then replaced with the PL cards.

 The color scheme worked perfectly with all the pictures of this page.

Since I had a large number of pictures, I had to use a second sheet for this week's layout.   Since it sits by itself, i was able to chose a different color scheme.  All the cards come from different collections created for Project Life ( I have a large stash of pocket cards).  I wanted to bring in some black, as I ways to tie in next week's layout.  I have to make a note to myself to print pictures in black and white.

I hope you are also, documenting your everyday.

See you soon...

Project Life Layout Week #8

PL  Week 8

Sunday nights are Project Life night in my house.  I like to go through all the week worth of pictures, and chose the most relevant to our family and our little piece of the world.   I am still new to Project Life, but i enjoy having a way to document our every day.  The layouts are not as nice as my scrapbook ones, but i love the fact that i can have all the pictures displayed in one album with the story of why, who, where and when next to it.

Still trying to continue with the red accents in all the  February pages,   but since this week there is a lot of my nephew's birthday party snapshots i also used a colorful spread... Here is the first page,  I am using Amy Tangerine's Finders Keepers collection for some of the small cars, while the larger 4x4 cards come from American Crafts, Simple Stories and Heidi Swapp collections.

The second page of this week's PL layout.

A few weeks a lot I came across this American Crafts Birthday collection, and added it to my stash.  It worked perfectly to showcase my nephew's 3rd birthday celebration.  The  added decoration, comes from different collections.  The top sticker on my nephew's picture comes from Freckled Fawn, while the large love sticker comes from Echo Park's Our Family collection... The phrase stickers come from Teresa Collins' Our Daily stories collection, and My Mind's Eye marketplace collections.

The third page of this week's layout

Since there was a lot of pictures taken at my nephew's party.  I used a third page to add them to our album.  I chose to print the pictures in 2x2, 2x3  cells so that i could collage them into the Birthday collection cards. Though this page is picture heavy, I enjoy seeing all the happy faces of the celebration.

I hope this gives you a little inspiration on how to document and display your pictures.

See you next week!

Project Life Layout Week 6

PL  Week 6

It is amazing to see that time is rapidly passing by...  We are in the middle of February already, and I am still keeping up with my Project Life album entries.  This week being Valentine's Day and all, I tried to keep most of my cards with shades of red, and lovely quotes.  

It was until I started typing this blog entry that I realize
that I had made a mistake on the week number.  SORRY!!

A common baseball card pocket sheet was used to create last week's layout, so i sized some of my cards to  the 2.5x3.5 inch format for the first page of the layout.  I made the top two cards using the Valentine's Day Recollections collection from Michaels.  For the week card, just a few alpha stickers and a glitter number.  The tag card comes from a Simple Stories Snap Card set;  i fuzzy cut around the tag and attached it with a little staple to a piece of patterned paper -the same used for the week card-.  I also printed one of my e-mails (exciting news coming soon!!!) and added to the layout.

The rest of the cards come from various Becky Higgins Project Life Core Kits that were sized down to fit in the pockets.   Sometimes you can tell the story of the picture by adding phrase stickers directly on them,  as you can see in the picture.  This one comes from a Simple Stories Snap collection pack, but I also like the Mambi  and Heidi Swapp stickers.   It is important to add texture to  layouts, so I attached a small banner -with a mini staple- to the outside of the plastic pocket.  This adds interest to the page, and draws the eye to the page.

Fortunately,  most of the pictures of this week had a lot of red in them, so it was easy to match them with the cards.   All the cards come from Teresa Collins' Save the Date collection.  Just a few phrase stickers on the pictures was enough to complete the page.

I hope to continue keeping up with my Project Life entries, so i can share them with you all...  

See you soon.
