So, though I've been good about keeping up with Project Life this year, I've been absolutely terrible about posting here each week. To make a long story short, week 2 is still not totally finished (I'm waiting on some goodies to add to it once they come in the mail) and since I didn't post week 2, I king of fell of the wagon. But I finally realized it was ridiculous to put it all off just because that one week isn't finished, so here are weeks 4 and 5 (look for weeks 2 and 3 in the next couple of weeks. Confused yet?)
Week Four

There was a trend in my photos this week of lots of white space along with the occasional pop of red. I stuck with black and white cards to let the photos pop. I love that these photos capture our personalities, our relationship, what a typical week looks like for us. I'm learning that it doesn't really matter to me if the picture is a little grainy or imperfect; if a beautiful moment is captured, I automatically love it. Products-wise, I am completely obsessed with the Project Life white cardstock cards. I recomment the 4x6 size, which can easily be cut to fill a 3x4 pocket. They're perfect for my weekly date cards as well as a random filler or background for a photo.
Week 5

This is my favorite spread so far in this album. It's bolder and busier than most of my layouts, but a perfect contrast to the snow pictures. It also included our annual anniversary photo booth photos (taken three months late). I didn't feel bad at all about chopping the photo strip in half, as the other two were even more awkward than the first, if you can believe it.
I'm also slowly incorporating more stamps in the layouts, especially now that I have the versatile "Today Is" stamp from Elise Blaha Cripe. I have a feeling that guy will make an appearance every week from here on out.
As always, these layouts were made with the Midnight Edition. Let me know if you have any other questions regarding products, my PL process, etc. Have a lovely Monday!

Great week! I think this is actually my favourite layout so far :)
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love stopping by to see your pages, they just look amazing!
ReplyDeleteLove your glittery alphas! Did you glitter them up yourself?
ReplyDeletei really like this layout! i think the design is clean looking and lets the photos speak for themselves!
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad I found your blog...your layouts are so beautiful and clean. I was struggling getting started because I thought I had to put so much in...but your design has inspired me!
ReplyDeleteI just got a Midnight kit and your pictures looks stunning with that! I'm wondering if you treat the images in Photoshop, and if you did, is its with an action... do you? :)
ReplyDeleteFirst - your layouts are what I wish my albums looked like! It's so perfect!
ReplyDeleteAnd since you asked about questions... here we go! What pens do you use? Also, your process - do you think of the layout first, then pick pictures, then journal in the leftover spots? Are there certain constants that you have then fill in the rest? Do they just come together? How do you plan these? I'm a once retired scrapbooker reinventing myself as project life-er, and so I'm trying to convert my brain into thinking this way!
