it's been awhile since i've posted.
but it's been pretty busy this week too.
and next week will be busy too.
selene & i are taking a vacation to visit family tomorrow.
can hardly wait.
but i know you can't wait for me to share some project life.
now that's something to go ga-ga for. lol.
not sure if you've noticed...but i don't title my weeks at all in the album.
i just didn't want to not have the flexibility of doing whateva.
what if it's not really a whole week or even a short one?
who knows!
anyway here it goes....
week 9...
Highlights: a thrift find | a nice treat | daddy’s back home
| walking | a birthday
3 layouts + 4 inserts
Layout
1:
used design E for this one. I love
this type of page protector. You can
either put a 6x6 instagram photo or slip in some patterned paper and affix your
photo on top of it and slip it in. Or
you can slip in just memorabilia if you wanted. Hmmmm? Gotta try that idea.
I’m currently using my 1st thrift
find: the 3-d ring album. Wish I could find another like it. It’s leather and pretty sturdy.
Anyway…added
some AC chipboard stickers, colored circle labels, more letter stickers. Also stapled a filler card by tina azsmus I downloaded
for free. Love it that it goes with the theme
of a 2 photos on the right side of the layout.
Insert 1:
just a
receipt, starbx, and a cutout I got from some hair dye box. Just added a couple of labels and journaled. The
other side of this insert is a reward of accomplishment maiya got from school.
(she was so happy I added this into the album).
Layout 2:
writing on
the page protector is so cool! I love
doing it. Just a simple layout with a label, doodling and stamping.
Inserts 2 & 4 : just
something from the souplantation (one of hubby’s favez) where we had dinner one
night.
Insert 3: more memorabilia (can you tell I love collecting
them?)
Layout 3:
the day of my grandpa’s 92nd
birthday. I’m so happy I documented this
time since my g-pa passed away last fall.
He lived a great life and I’m so happy that I was loved by him.
Just some more journaling on top of the page
protector and a couple of labels with journaling.
Supplies: old
cocoa daisy kits; patterned papers: American crafts; livelovepaper.com filler
card; labels: Martha stewart, avery;
pens, markers: sharpie; stamps: hero arts; chalk ink: prima
Week 10...
Highlights: new things
| family visit | 11 months | painting pottery
4 layouts + 1 insert
Layout 1:
my fave photo is the one with the blurry one of
selene & me sitting on the floor. I just placed my camera on the floor and
put it on timer.
Had some negative space
to add letter stickers and journaling. It’s
also rare I’m in the photos. I made sure though to do a before & after of
when I got a haircut during “me” time.
Insert:
as with almost all my inserts I back up stuff with
patterned paper, a bit of doodling, journaling.
Layout 2:
a nice
visit from my mom & dad and just a time at the park with the girls.
A couple
of journaling cards, very little embellishing, a doodled border around one
photo and I called it done. Love the pop of pink.
Layout 3:
a bit more journaling here because I included 2
photos of selene turning 11 months.
The 2 middle journaling cards are a free
download from misstiina.com. dontcha just load freebies? I do I do!
Layout 4:
all about pottery painting, just me &
maiya.
Used the design D and had some
patterned paper to match the green-yellows in my photos. Stuck in some memorabilia
from that time into 2 of the pockets. I kinda like that I didn’t add anything
behind them and love the fact you can see the backside of them on the other
side of the page protector.
Supplies:
cocoa daisy “bed & breakfast” & “sketchbook” kits; labels:
Martha stewart; journaling cards:
misstiina.com, echo park; pens, markers:
sharpie.
