Project Life | Week 46

Today I'm sharing week 46/ This week has an insert I'm really excited about. I'm also pretty excited about being so close to finished with sharing 2015 pages.

Here's the left side. Just rying to keep things a little more simply while trying to finish off the year.

Here's the front of the insert. This insert flips open to reveal a full 12x12 pocket page full of photos and journaling, but folds closed to hide all of it.

Here's a look at the left side with the open insert.

The inside of the insert has journaling and photos from shopping, and dress shopping in Saskatoon with my sister and my parents. My sister found her dress (though it was quite the ordeal) and she's getting excited about graduation now. I bought some stuff at Michaels for Christmas, including the little deer ornament, and the letters for Jon's parents. Overall a productive day in the city!

Here's the back of the insert and the right side.

Here's the back of the insert. Shameless food photo. And a couple photos to finish off our trip to the city.

Here's the right side. The top right photo was one my sister sent me when we were trying to figure out what her dress would look like in black. It's gorgeous. So excited for it to come in and see how she looks in it. I'm sure she'll be beautiful. I also got my flair from Scrapbook and More's giveaway that I won. Finished up my in-laws cards and made a giant mess in the craftroom.

The "just an ordinary day" card is a flip up to reveal the two books I read this week. It was kind of a last minute thing, but it made perfect sense and looks like it was there the whole time.

Thank you so much for coming by. Just two more weeks of 2015 pages!

Project Life: Week Forty-Six & Forty-Seven

Today I'm sharing week 46 & 47. Both weeks had very few photos so I combined them into a two page spread. I've had weeks where I had one page and half of an insert, but never one single page for two weeks in a row.

This week I used 5th & Frolic, and one card from Studio Calico. My 5th & Frolic was just sitting there, calling to me and saying "Hey, you haven't included me in too many of your spreads lately. How about you do these two weeks with just me!". It doesn't match my photos very well, but I'm pleased with how it turned out.

Here's the left side. This is week 46. This week wasn't very eventful, mostly just work, and  the bottom left card is journaling about how Socks was lost, then found.
We have a girl from work staying in our basement, and when she left for work at 7:30am he got out. She didn't tell anyone until she got to work at 8:00am, and they told her she needed to call us ASAP. So she called Jon, and he woke me up and we did a couple laps of the block, checked the yard, under the cars, etc. There was some fresh snow so we followed some kitty tracks into the neighbors yard, and then they mixed with a dozen other kitty tracks. We eventually got too cold to keep looking, and Jon had to run to work, so we went for breakfast. I posted on the local yardsale page, and a few other local pages, asking people to keep an eye out for him. Later that afternoon my mom walked over and told me she heard a weird noise in my garage. We went out to investigate and found Socks hiding in the rafters. Apparently my cat hates Jon (he sprays him with water when he's bad) which would explain why he didn't make a sound when Jon was calling for him. He wasn't too cold, but he was exceptionally dirty. His little white feet were brown, and he was so excited to see my mom (of course). I was just glad he wasn't frozen somewhere.

Here's the right side. This is week 47. I baked with my niece, but didn't take any photos of us baking, so I included photos of the mess I had to clean up when I got home from work that night, and journaled about baking with her.

I print my photos on Matte photo paper. I think its from Kodak, it very much resembles cardstock, and I just use my white gel pen to write on my photos. Others add text in photoshop and simply print them off with their journaling on the photo.

Thanks for coming by! When you don't have enough photos for a two page spread do you combine weeks, or add other things to fill up the space?

Have a great day!
