This week’s Project Life covers the week of Sept. 23-29.
This past week I was able to sit down and work on several weeks of Project Life. Keeping it simple was the key and it felt great to get caught up! I used the Elle’s Studio October 2013 Kit and split it up over several weeks. It is my go-to product for Project Life!
This week includes a mix of the everyday and special events. I saved a napkin from a date night we had this week, and an invitation to an Oktoberfest party we attended.
For my date pocked, I didn’t have enough “2”‘s for the date, so I decided to just outline the single 2 I did have for one of the spots. I ended up really liking the look, and glad I was able to use what I had!
I placed a few of my tags and embellishments outside of the pockets this week. The tidbit circle on the right page is outside of the pocket and stapled in the middle so it was on the seam. The cork heart on the right page was adhered outside the pocket. I always do this with bulkier embellishments because I like that it doesn’t create a glare on the pocket.
A fun idea I incorporated this week was placing the “Boys will be Boys” tag from the Cameron Tabs collection in between photos of my son and his friend and a photo of my husband with his high school buddies. I hand cut arrows from the Pinwheel paper from the Saltwater collection and placed them outside the pockets as well. I stapled them to the pages on the seam.
We want to feature your Project Life album! During the last week of each month we will be featuring a couple Project Life spreads that caught our eye in the Member Gallery. We will be posting Project Life spreads on our blog tomorrow! If your spread is featured we will be sending you a $5 gift card to use in our store. Good Luck!
Project Life was created by Becky Higgins as a way to simplify how you document life and preserve memories. Photo pockets used in my Project Life album are created by Becky and can be found here. You can read of all the Elle’s Studio Project Life posts here.
