Project Life 2012: Weeks 18, 19, and 20

WEEK 18

In a valiant attempt to catch up, I tried to keep things simple, while stepping out of my color comfort zone. I used some sherbet colored papers and love the outcome, fun and bright.

Had a lot of fun incorporating bits and pieces of the latest Studio Calico kit:

Hand stitched heart, one of my favorite photos:

Simple title card, used the days of the weeks washi tape by October Afternoon to tie both sides together:

Right side:

Another attempt at hand stitching a journal card…

My favorite photo-scrapbooky PL addition to date. LOVE the yellow, blue, white, and kraft color combo:

WEEK 19

LOVED going back and reliving the week of the Half. The memories, pictures, and keepsakes still make me smile. Fun week:

I haven’t scrapped a full 12 x 12 layout in years but am really having fun “scrapping” the little 4 x 6 photo slots:

An example of forgetting where photos are to be placed and what was planned for one of the 4 x 6 photo slots. I typically keep up with the photo portions by printing, cutting and placing the photos in the sleeves; however, for some reason, this week’s photos were not all placed beforehand. I had one empty spot and found a maze page of Jake’s that fit perfectly.

WEEK 20

Having managed to complete three weeks worth, I lost steam when it came to the week 20 title card. I’ll finish it another day, but am really happy with the overall layout for the week:

Mother’s Day card by Jake:

Back to my teal/blue, white, kraft color comfort zone:

Whisker Graphics mini bag for journaling + some fun goodies:

I had two pictures I really wanted to include here but wasn’t sure how to get it done. I didn’t like the look of them side by side. After digging through some supplies, I found a vellum envelope…

And layered the second picture behind the first with a small, simple tag: voila. Done.
