This week’s Project Life covers the week of June 11-17.
This week I chose to highlight a variety of “everyday” occurrences, special things we did, and Father’s Day. I have noticed that some of my favorite weeks to look back on are the ones that have a balance of “what we did today” AND “what life is like right now”.
For instance, I have noticed this summer that our laundry is completely out of control at our house. A lot of it has to do with swimming: more towels, swimsuits, wet clothes, etc, so I included a photo of the current chaos in my laundry room!
I added a screen shot of a tweet I sent about teaching my son how to swim this week. I also added a photo of my son’s favorite breakfast right now– this could work for any week!
We took a day trip to a State Park on Father’s Day to meet up with my husband’s grandma and extended family. We took many family group shots so I included this in an insert. I used a We R Memory Keepers photo sleeve that had six 4×6 sleeves and cut it in half.
Whenever I have an insert I love to add a piece that overlaps the edge of the insert so that it doesn’t just blend in with the rest of the layout. For this week I chose a “Today” tab sticker from October Afternoon’s 9 to 5 word stickers.
I noticed in this week’s Project Life I used LOTS of Elle’s pennant and label tags. They are just perfect for adding a little bit of journaling on large photos. This week I mainly used the new Summer Lovin’ Pennants, Tiny Note Labels, and Tiny Life Labels.
Finally, on the final page I included a 12×12 enlargement of my husband on Father’s Day. There were so many things I could include for Father’s Day but I felt like this was perfect. I had the 12×12 printed by Mpix and added a Noted Large Journaling Tag at the bottom of the page.
