Project Life 2013: Weeks 31, 32, and 33

Posted: September 2, 2013 | Author: momruncraft | Filed under: Project Life | 7 Comments

WEEK 31

Fun with the new Slate Core Kit. The bright colors make this kit so happy and fun. I think the cards are super versatile and love that many can be cut up/trimmed to be used as embellishments. Kept it super simple…

Experimented with a different type of stitching…

WEEK 32

I forgot how much I love the colors of the Honey kit. I started with the simple letter stickers on the photos and went from there…

Big milestone for Jake this week was the focus/highlight: he learned how to ride his bike without the training wheels!!

Tyson repurposed the original Project Life packaging as portable Lego sorter/storage. Swoon.

WEEK 33

When I started this week, I thought I had completely forgot to take pictures. I didn’t have any to work with. It turns out, I just hadn’t picked up weeks worth from Costco. Before I knew I had pictures, I had asked each boy to design/make his own layout. They LOVED it and the pieces they made are by my favorites of all time. I kept Ty’s layout intact as it tells the story of our week pretty well and plan to incorporate bits of Jake’s into other layouts. It is likely that I struggled with this week because it was the week of HUGE change in our house. The landscape of our forever changed: out with the toddler/car bed and in with TWO BIG BOY rooms. Ty got a new desk, his little room now resembles more of a dorm room than little boy room. Jake got the top bunk and a new dresser. They both love playing in their “big boy” rooms so much now and Jake is so proud of his new space:

This, I believe, is what this project is all about:

WEEK 28

The one kit I thought I wouldn’t need: 5th and Frolic; however, I saw it and instantly fell in love with it. While there are lots of pinks, there are even more blues, yellows, and tans…LOVE!! It’s fun to have a little girly in my land of boy. This week correlates with my Vacation Week layout, but incorporates the remainder of the week (while the Vacation spread is just our time away):

Having fun with the cork thickers, highlighting some of my favorite vacation moments, and adding journaling to some photos that were included the week before but not written about…

By the way, I say vacation but am firmly aware that it is, and will remain until the boys are older, a “family trip”. Not much resting or “vacationing” on this trip. We got back and were exhausted, the boys not so much. M and I also celebrated our TEN year wedding anniversary:

WEEK 29

A busy week of fun!! It made me giddy to take the boys to one of my favorite childhood spots and see it through their eyes:

I love printing out photos as 8 x 12’s and trimming them to fit, especially when they highlight important/main events for the week:

WEEK 30

I love the Kraft kit. A lot. A funny week where I didn’t have enough photos…

I used an Exacto knife to cut out the asterisk and arrow to layer with the photos. I am also not afraid to cut up journal cards to use as embellishments…
