project life: week 10

hey folks,

i'm a little late on posting these and the reason is...i did an extra insert for last week and the extra scanning involved was too much for me to handle at the beginning of the week.

so sad.

but so true.

:p

here's the first page:

and the insert:

and the back of the insert:

just ignore the wonky black/white blank spaces where i've tried to piece everything together...

and the last page:

i really need a 12x12 scanner for this project. or i need to take photos of it like i've been doing in the past but i can't seem to get any good pictures due to the page protectors and the glare.

i took all of the photos with my iphone but the ones for the insert, i did pull out the big boy camera. here's a better look at those:

middle children are quirky :)

hope you're having a great thursday, y'all!

xo,

a layout. project life. and a photo

i haven't done a real layout in months.

katie works better than his stuffed animal in most circumstances. she happened to be home from school that day due to a sore throat.

and here's week 8 of project life...or at least parts of it.

and page two:

here's the bottom photo that i cut off. my tribute to the hunger games movie:

hope you're all enjoying this monday. the kids are out due to snow so we've been having fun outside...

xo,

project life week um...i'm not really sure

i don't know what week this is but i'm surprised that i'm keeping up with the weekly layouts.

last week was a bit of a blur for us. so much going on; birthday party, playdate, gymnastic meet, academic meets, private lessons, allergy shots and the beginning of my bathroom renovation.

i used cz's free template and listed everything we had to do for each day.

i think my friend laurie and my sister are going to start their project life very, very soon. we're just trying to figure out a day where both can come over for a few hours and put their albums together.

:)

have a great day!

project life: week 4

you could say i'm a little obsessed with the weather. i always need to know what the temperature is going to be...like knowing that's going to make me smarter? make me sleep better? i don't know. but since i check it on a daily basis, i thought i would include it in my PL book. and i plan on printing out the week's temp each week.

cuz i'm obsessed, i tell ya.

this week seems like it was all about charlie...

well, it was about the weather too.

:)

project life: last week

well, i got my spread done for last week:

and here's page two:

i'm already starting on this week's pictures and stories. so far, it's been going well because the kids have so much going on right now. i wonder if it's going to be as easy to do once summer break gets here. those weeks may just be filled with pictures of us by the pool.

ah.

wouldn't that be nice...

well, here are some of the things i've been using or recommend for some of you who are thinking about starting this project:

you will need a corner punch and photos. definitely. and a trash can. but other than that, everything else is helpful to have but not a must. if you have scrapbook papers, you can use those but having becky higgins' project life core kit makes things SO much easier. the other things pictured are my phone, adhesive, 6x6 patterned papers, chipboard hearts from american crafts, stickers by basicgrey,  and alpha stamps by hero arts. some of the digital kits i used are listed below:

happy scrapping, y'all!

project life: the beginning

well, i started on my project life this past week. it's been a struggle, i must say, trying to catch up on the past three weeks. and find photos. and find stories to go with the photos. and make it look all purdy too.

but i finished the title pages:

i tell ya, having an iphone really does help. that's right, i said iphone...the thing that i didn't think i'd ever own in my previous post. well, my husband surprised me with one at christmas. he's usually the one that handles all the technology in our household and is an anti-apple user. and still is. he makes fun of my phone all the time. but i don't care because now i snap photos whenever i want.

and actually will DO project life.

:)

more photos to come...

ps. don't you think it's annoying that you can't pin photos from your fb page? just thought i'd share.

in no particular order...

so i'm still working on getting everything together for my thankful journal. i'm going to have these printed out as 6x4 prints and place them in here by american crafts:

these are not in order (of course) but the number corresponds to the dates in november.

i used these digi papers and a template from my friend Liz had as a freebie a couple of years ago on her blog.

hope all my US friends had a wonderful thanksgiving!

Finally Friday Layout

thought i'd forgotten, didn't ya? well i didn't.

:)

here it is.

supplies are all basicgrey-oxford line.

it's my daughter's birthday today too:

she turns ten today.

TEN.

geezus. now she's a pre-teen. and then she'll be a teenager. and then she'll be going off to college and leaving me. and then she'll grduate with a kick-ass degree that allows her to live comfortably in a city within a 3-hour drive from me. and she'll come a visit me and take me out to lunch.

hey, i'm a korean mother. i have high expectations from my first born child.

:)

have a great weekend everyone!

FFL: i don't have an iphone...

i don't have an iphone. i have no plans on getting an iphone. yes, they're really cool. but i don't need one. but i can't help noticing all the cool pictures they take. i believe they're called instagrams?

cathy zielske created a free template about her love of instagrams. you can see the post here.

but i did something else with it:

a great design is a great design, folks.

and i did it without the use of an iphone.

:)

have a great weekend and thanks, CZ!

FFL: 3.5

A layout I did for Write.Click.Scrapbook- for the June gallery: We aim to Inspire. We were supposed to lift a layout  from the gallery of other desigers or contributors over the past year and I chose this one from the talented Celeste Smith. Even though hers is digital and a 12x12, I modified and loved the way it turned out.

And here's my version:

Hope you have a great weekend!
