Project Life 2012 Week 6

wow 3 spreads within 2 days of each other!

here's my week 6 PL12...

Left side:

highlights:

turning 10 months

a nice walk in the morning of just me & selene

added number stickers on top of some number chipboard and some doodling around the letters.

i didn't have enough room on my layout for extra journaling.

so improvised by printing some journaling on a journaling card & stapling it on top of some existing journaling that were already in a pocket

love the flexibility of this hobby.

love this free download journaling card by miss tiina.
definitely check her out.
she's so talented.

used a metallic silver pen to write a subtle phrase on one of the last photos on the side of the layout.

right side:

highlights:
a curling iron
a valentine's gift
my 2 girls in the morning
selene holding her bottle for the 1st time
some yumm-o tofu entree for dinner

accidentally printed on the wrong side.

but....

i love my mistake.

added my handmade doodled border and accents.

 freckled fawn...
i love your wood veneer arrows!

my insert:

maiya got sick and had to get her a prescription from the base pharmacy.
just cut up the box's back side off & adhered on top of some patterned paper & slipped it in the protector.
easy peasy.
on the reverse side (not pictured) is maiya's report for that quarter.

i'm on a roll baby!
i even started on my PL 2013 Week 1.
photos & memorabilia in the pockets.
almost done with journaling.

Project Life 2012 Week 4 & 5

o my 2 weeks worth of PL!
yey-yah!

did this 2-page spread for 2 weeks total.  
I did take quite a bit of photos, but most of it was from week 5 which went into my Week in My Life album.  

Highlights of the good & bad: starbucks, walking in the mornings, doggie drama (this was the bad part), yumminess from the slow cooker and a nice and funny series of our 2 girlies. 

Left side, week 4:

Doodled around the jillibean letter stickers, went over the corrugated letter stickers with chalk ink, added some stars to the Starbucks photo.

split up a journaling card to fit it in.
kinda cool.

 

I added 2 inserts with self-adhesive tabs:  2 of my posts from my blog and 2 of maiya’s homework assignments. 

Right side, week 5:

added labels and numbered the series of photos, added my doodled borders on those labels as well. I have to say I love the design F page protector by becky Higgins. 
It was kinda fun splitting up the photos to fit them in.

Very little embellishments on this spread.  

Just felt that it didn’t need much to it.  

Plus I just didn’t feel like it honestly and it felt complete.  

I guess there’s a minimalist in me afterall, scrapwise.

thank u L.V.u

this weekend has been a good one and fast one.
me, selene & maiya pretty much were home bodies saturday.
it was actually a lazy saturday for me.
load of laundry, clean a little, very little.
got to scrap and blog surf.
maiya did some organizing in her room and bathroom.
she got rid of a lot of stuff from her bathroom drawers.
stuff that was just sitting in there.
so happy she did and i know she was too.

last night we pretty much watched a marathon of "my so-called life" on the sundance channel.
that show didn't last long but i have to say it was pretty good.
and maiya kept saying last night, "i love this show."
i love it too.
so happy i found it while browsing friday night.

today i got to complete my week 6 of project life 2012.
i love that project.
it's nice being able to share it with maiya and hubby.
they love it too and always, "this is so cool."
yes it is.
thank you becky higgins for coming up with this fab-o-lous idea!
i will forever be doing it.

anyway, before i go and enjoy the rest of my "ME QT" here at starbucks...
gotta a wedding layout to share....
this one is a tribute to my hubby..
"thank you" 
....for sharing this life w/me,
...for being my husband,
...for being my best friend,
...for being loved by you.

i used the negative of a basic grey chipboard letters board for my title.

i didn't have enough letters for the whole title so i just improvised.

i'm gonna be using this technique on future layouts.

so cool.

i love how scrapbooking is so flexible.

lots of doodling, punching, stapling, popping up.
i used a therm o web pop up dots backing as part of matting my photo.
punched it with my new border punch, ek success swiss cheese.
actually got it from wal-mart.

the circle stamp border is from michael's from awhile back.
i love circles and so i had to get this one.
so happy it's getting into my layouts.

i love you hubby.
