Project Life: Week 12

Still at it!  And I'm still totally in love with this project!  I also love that this project has inspired me and motivated me to get more photos off of my computer and into a form we can all enjoy.  Not only am I still plugging away at Project Life, but just this week alone I've completed another 6 or so Bearski book pages AND made a quick Shutterfly book of our trip to Cancun back in 2009!!  Shutterfly sent out coupons for a free 8x8 book or $29.99 off of a larger book (MYBOOK is the promo code... expires tomorrow - Tuesday), so I jumped on that offer and got those photos out and into the world!  No one here has really looked at those photos since I posted them to my blog years ago, I'm so excited to have them in a book form that we can pick up and page through whenever we feel like it.  It also went back through my photos and probably added another 20 or so that I didn't post to the blog.  Funny how your perspective on things change over the years.  Plus, I don't mind overdoing the same type of shot in a book, where I like more variety in my blog posts.  The book has already shipped... I can't wait to get it!!

Here are my project life pages for this week...

Project Life: Week 11

I struggled again with this week.  Mainly because I didn't have many quality photos, which meant I had blanks to fill and journaling isn't one of my favorite things.  I ended up using several filler cards and "journaled" bullet point style on one large card.

Oh... and I have a new project life supply addiction... I'm totally in LOVE with the 4x6 photo collages by Designs by Lili!  I bought one set, but I have the itch to own them all!!  I bought a 2x3 set as well.... I hope to use it soon!

oh.. and I'm still working on my Bearski book.  It's actually going quite well.  The only reason I haven't posted lately is because it's actually going TOO well.  I probably have 15 pages to post!!  I'm so excited to finish it up and order my book!

I was on a roll...

... last week.  Not so much this one!  I'm posting a bunch of Bearski book pages.  I could pretend that I did some last week and some this week.  But in reality, I did them all last week and I've done nothing so far this week!  

To make it simpler... all products are from The Lilypad... they all use Amy Martin's Project Grids and all have One Little Bird's Pagekraft paper as the background.  I'll list the individual stuff with the pages.

Project Life: Week 9

Another week done!  So very thankful we live in the digital age this week!  :-)  Alex got chosen to attend a big event last week and I knew it was pointless to send him with a camera (I've done it before and it always comes back unused).  But I really wanted photos to add to my project life pages!!  I was able to find event photos on the newspaper website and one of the CQ staff members who went with the kids, emailed me all of her photos of Alex!  I had taken all kinds of boring, just in case I don't get anything else to document this, photos (his permission slip, him in his t-shirt once he got home, etc.), but thankfully I didn't have to use those!
