Project Life: Week Thirty

Good morning! Today I'm sharing my Week 30 of Project life. This week is one page and the back side of the insert from Week 29.

This week I used cards from coral, honey, and Studio Calico. Thickers are from American Crafts.

Here's the left side. I was sick this week so I included the medicine I was taking. I spent most of it laying on the couch. Gracie spend most of her time laying on the bench sleeping while I slept. It was cute.

Here's the right side. When I was feeling better I worked on some cards, Shopped for baby gifts for my brother's second baby (who turned out to be a boy). Their nursery theme was owls, and I found some gender neutral owl items to get them since they didn't know what they were having yet.

This week was pretty short and simple. On Monday I'm going to share a recipe I'm trying this weekend. Fingers crossed it works out. Of course it's going to be a dessert, and perhaps I'll share with my family!

Have a great weekend!

Project Life: Week Twenty-Six & End of First Album

Good morning! Today I'm sharing week 26, and what I did for the last page of my first album. At the start of the year, I thought I could squeeze the whole year into on album (this was my first year doing project life) but by week 15 I was fairly certain that it'd take two. Lately, most of my layouts have been more than two page spreads, so I was lucky to squeeze week 26 into the first album, and have an equally divided year.

This week I did three double page spreads. Here's the first one. I used cards from Maggie Holmesedition, MAggie Holmes Styleboard, Blush, and Studio Calico.

Here's the left side. We celebrated my mom's and my uncle's birthdays with my Grandma. My niece blew out the candles (of course). I used Dear Lizzy navy polkadot thickers for the title.

Here's the right side. I included my messy desk, and a collage of photos my niece took while we were playing outside.

Here's the second two page spread. I used cards from Studio Calico, Azure, Maggie Holmes Styleboard, and Dear Lizzy Daydreamer.

Here's the left side. We were so excited about our new patio furniture. Jon and my sister did most of the assembly, which was super nice!

Here's the right side. I helped Jon work on some terrain for Out of the Basement. I also got the first coat of paint on my desk (which looks amazing).

Here's the third one. I used coral, strawberry, and azure.

Here's the left side. This side was all of Jon's painting for the week. 

Here's the right side. IT was a bit of painting and some gardening we did before my mom's birthday.

For the last page of this album, I chose to include this 12x12 sheet of paper from the Maggie Holmes paperstack. I feel like it perfectly describes why I'm doing project life. Currently it's in a 12x12 page protector taped to the last page of week 26. I'm considering cutting it up, but I like the way this looks.

How did you divide your first and second album of the year? Did you keep your year to one album? If so, how?

Have a great day! On Friday I'll be sharing my latest Scrapbookers Inner Circle Haul.

Project Life: Week Fourteen

Today I'm sharing week 14. It was pretty simple, not too photo heavy, finally the end of March, but not the end of winter apparently. It was also Jon's dad's birthday.  

This week I tried to do pink and orange just because I think they're pretty together. I used Dear Lizzy: Neapolitan, and Coral. 

Here's the left side. The cupcakes were for Jon's dad's birthday, it snowed again, the orange card in the bottom right was a funny story Jon and I laughed about this week. 

Cut another Design C insert in half for the insert. I used the insert for photos from when my sister and my niece came to visit me at work.

I used floral washitape to adhere this photo to a background card. You can't really see the tape unless you look closely, which is what I wanted for this card. 

Here's the back side of the insert and the right side. I used the same washitape from the previous photo on my month card. 

The insert was design D cut in half. On the back side I included journaling about their visit. We coloured and threw paper airplanes in the hallway. It was fun. 

Here's the right side. I included Jon's painting and and a little journaling back here. 

Again I hid my journaling for the week in a bifold card. I just need to mark it so I know to pull it out for the journaling for the week. Also need to finish my month card. 

There's week 14. Another simple layout full of photos. I recently ordered photos from the last two years, and a bunch of scrapbooking supplies so layouts from previous years and some crafty hauls will be coming soon!

Have a great day!
