Week in the Life | Sunday

Today I'm finally sharing my Sunday pages from my Week in the Life album. Today started with Sleepy Hollow. I've recorded the whole season but haven't got around to watching any of it. I got to the Bones/Sleepy Hollow crossover episode and had to stop because I haven't watched any Bones either. Eventually I'll finish it.

More daily gratitude on the back of the divider. I usually only put one or two items in my gratitude journal, but this week I had 3 for each day and copied them from my notes sheet into my journal and onto each card. The right side has a conversation between Jon and I that I typed and printed onto that card. I added a phrase sticker and a small stamp from the stamp set.

I think every single gold foil card was my favourite gold foil card. They're easily my favourite part of my album. Over on the left I have a photo of Socks and the speaker I use to play music while I shower.

Another day, another coffee cup. Today I documented my bookshelf. It's near our front door and I walk past this particular bookshelf a hundred times day. It's kind of in the center of the house and holds all of my to-read books as well as some of Jon's books and my redundant CD collection.

A selfie, phrase stickers and an acrylic heart. The book I was reading, weather photo, and the "work" card I made using this months release of Kellie Stamps (see a better photo of it here).

Finishing up my day at work, and then home to play Dungeons and Dragons because my sister's boyfriend came down this weekend.

Plastic letter and stamped "Sunday's are for" and wrote about fighting dragons, and laughing, using our imagination. This project will always have a place in my heart, but I'm so glad this is complete. I keep flipping through this album because I just love it so much.

This final quote came from this #givesunday post by Ali Edwards. I love her handwriting and I'm so glad she did #givesunday and that I took advantage of all the free word art to use in my albums and hang around my house.

Project Life | Week 20

Today I'm sharing week 20 of my Project Life. I'm always surprised how much of my stash I'm actually using now that I have minimal new product coming in every month.

Left side; I used mostly pieces from the Go Story Kit (the kit is no longer available, but you can get the digital stamp here).

Right side; this side covers our weekend trip to Calgary. Mostly food, and a photo of the succulents from Sunday when we got home.

I used a vellum pocket from a SUPER old Studio Calico kit to create a flip pocket for some tickets from our trip. I used some sentiments from the Go stamp set (digital linked above) and a diamond clip to hold everything in place.

It flips up to journaling about the trip. I love how it turned out. I just used some washitape to hold it all together. Simple. Done.

Week in the Life | Saturday

Today I'm sharing my Saturday pages of Week in the Life. I'm in love with the teal colour of the gold foil card, and love how well in printed on the hello Saturday circle. Today started with The Originals.

Another daily gratitude on the back of the half divider. I used some of the new Kellie Stamps (available here) on photos today. Like the top 4x6 photo. I was reading and drinking coffee, that stamp was perfect. More phrase stickers and Jon painting.

Gracie is ready for me to be done with this project at this point, and her face says it all in that photo. I love the combination of the gold and the teal on the day card.

Coffee cup photo. A picture of my desk, and a picture of the dragon Jon painted for me (in 6 hours, no big deal). I plan to blog some photos when the whole group of angry dwarves is finished.

I used another digital Kellie Stamp from this set. In Photoshop I just cropped my photo smaller and painted the background white, added the digital stamp changed the colour and added some journaling. I printed the whole thing together as a 4x6 photo. You can see a better picture of that photo (here) I made a blog post.

Today I took more photos at work. I added the weather over a photo of my slowly growing peonies and another phrase sticker. I used this stamp set to stamp she said and he said on labels and documented a conversation.

Final pages. I love the messy circles (digital available here). I also loved the plastic letters and stamping on my last large photo every day.

Just one more day left to share. Have a wonderful weekend!

Week in the Life | Friday

I can't believe June is basically half over at this point. It feels like it was just starting yesterday. This year is literally flying by and it's almost impossible to believe.

Today I'm sharing Friday of my Week in the Life album. I still love the circles on the center of the opening photo, the half divider, the wood veneer numbers, the phrase stickers, rubber banners and gold foil. I love the indirect repetition of elements throughout that seems to bring everything together.

Another day of gratitude on the back of the divider, another unsealed pocket with a wood veneer number. I need to remember to fuse all of them shut and make a label for the back of the album.

Another temperature photo with the day of the week phrase sticker and another gold foil daily card.

Another coffee cup photo (which I actually love since I used a different cup every day of the week). More phrase stickers and journaling on photos. Jon's been assembling and painting the beginnings of a dwarf army this week (for me so we can play Warhammer: Age of Sigmar together. Super nerdy).

Another feet photo, another weather photo (no phrase sticker this time). The top right card says "am" and "pm" in the corner of each box and I used an older set of Kellie Stamps to stamp "rain" and "more rain" because all it did today was rain on and off.

I love close up photos of the pages of a book. Here I cut it in half to fit the 3x4 pockets and along the shadow on the right I wrote "I love reading" over and over. I love that most of the words on the page are out of focus but you could read it still if you wanted. On the right I stamped "Fridays are for" and journaled a bit about the day next to the plastic letter.

Thanks for coming by to see these pages. Have a wonderful day!

Project Life | Week 19

Today I'm sharing week 19 of Project Life. This week I kept things super simple, lots of photos, short stories.

Left side; I added some labels to photos I wanted to journal on. I like including snapchats because they have words right on the photos already.

Right side; more snapchats and photos. I love that U R PERFECT card. It went beautifully with the silly snapchat faces.

This week was super simple and took very little time. I love that it's mostly photos and little stories. Thanks for coming by to see this spread. I hope you have a wonderful day!
