Project Life, week 52

 This week's paper pad: Echo Park This and That Christmas, which ranks right up there as one of my favorite Christmas lines, and this is probably my favorite PL spread of the year.

 

 

with the Elf on the Shelf insert on the right.



and with the insert backside.

 

most of my pics for the week were vertical, so I printed them as 3x4 and lined them up along the middle. Just something a little different.

 This is one of my favorite Christmas paper lines. The cards don't really mean anything to my pics, but they're cute.

Project Life, week 50

This week's paper pad: Jillibean Soup Christmas Eve Chowder. I love Jillibean papers...in theory. I've actually used very few of them.

 

 

These penguins amuse me, and I didn't want to cover them up. At the same time...it leaves a big blank hole in the layout.

Project Life, week 49

This week's paper pad: WRMK Yuletide. This line wasn't even on my radar until I was at Archivers, and I fell in love with it at first sight. I think this is one of my favorites from the year.

 

 The empty 4x6 will be for some photos from Rick's office party, to be added later.

 

The second 3x4 pocket is actually meant to be a confetti filled see-through pocket, and you are seeing a journal card from the following week.

Project Life, week 48

This week's paper pad: Studio Calico Classic Calico with a lot of misc other stuff added in.

 

 

I have some December to-do lists to slip in the empty 4x6 pockets.

Project Life, week 47

This weeks paper pad: Simple Stories Harvest Lane. I had high hopes for this week/pad, and I have to admit that I'm actually pretty disappointed with it. The whole line was harder for me to work with than I anticipated, even on regular layouts. I guess maybe because I don't have a lot of experience with Fall/Autumn themed stuff :)

 

Project Life, week 46

This weeks paper pad: Pebbles Walnut Grove

 

 

Sigh, a few other blank spots. One is for the story of Rick's bike. I like how the Ali Edwards cards, the Clementine cards, and Turquoise cards and even a Simple Stories cut out all work together.

Project Life, week 45

This week's paper pad was MME Indie Chic Saffron. The line wasn't something I bought any of, but the pad was a "welcome" gift from Citrus Twist, and I was pleasantly surprised at how easy the layout came together.

 

 

 

I don't remember what I intended to put in this spot, so I think I'll probably put in a pic of the boys or something.

 

 

 

Project Life, week 44

This week's paper pad: last week's MME Halloween line.

Project Life, week 43

This week's paper pad: Jilliean Soup Apple Cheddar, mixed in with some Archivers 4x6 cards

Project Life, week 42

This week's paper pad: Amy Tangerine Ready, Set, Go. Love the fall colors.

Project Life, week 41

This week's paper pad: Crate  Paper Farmshouse.

Do you see it? I coerced Rick into filling out an Archivers 4x6 journal card for his birthday :)

Project Life, week 40

This week's paper pad: BG Picadilly. I was really hoping to go to the Farmer's Market this week, but alas we did not make it.

BH Clementine, Amber and plain grid cards, an Echo Park journal card, an AE journal card, and a BH Clementine filler card.

Project Life, week 39

This week's paper pad: BG PB&J.

A mix of BH Turquoise, Amber and Ali  Edwards journaling cards and a SS filler card. 

Project Life, week 38

This week's paper pad: MME Miss Caroline. Not sure which one (there are 4 color collections). I've used this one before, but I really just enjoy the colors. I picked 6x6 pads through the end of the year, so I just have to hope the pics somewhat match :)

 This is also the first project that I used my new Scotch ATG (tape gun) on...it takes some getting used to, especially the "it's stuck down forever" aspect.

365 Layouts total: 385 layouts, 2 cards, 5 mini albums

Project Life, week 37

This week's paper pad: Basic Grey Clippings. I like that a lot of the layering is already done, but it doesn't look fake and flat like a lot of the old HOTP paper did.

 A mix of BH Clementine, Amber, and Turquoise cards. Love that they can mix and match with patterned paper.

365 Layouts total: 384 layouts, 2 cards, and 5 mini albums.
