Project Life Tuesday

Today I have a Project Life week to share, and I still LOVE this project. I have been Project Life-ing (yup it is a word) all year, and I fall in love with it more and more each week. For 2012, I have been fairly organized and have done a great job for of keeping all of my supplies together and somewhat organized. Every week I print photos (mostly from home) and complete the two-page spread for the previous week. That being said, I got a little behind for the month of September, but should have all of that month caught up by the end of the week, here's hoping anyways. I think the important thing with this project, or any large project, is not to stress if you get behind, but make an action plan to break it down into little steps to help you get caught up. I spent last week catching up on two of the weeks that I missed in September and this week I will catch up on the other three.

Week 40: October 1-7, 2012

And some more photos

Title card-I used the Summer of 69 Digital Printable from Studio Calico, a date stamp, and and Elle's Studio Tag, and my trusty tiny attacher.
A close-up of some of our Titanic memorabilia and a different angle of all of the photos on the left page.

Backwards day at Isabelle's school, she even styled her hair backwards-HA! I couldn't help but laugh (super silently) when she came downstairs to show me her hair creation. Also a photo of the beautiful park by our home that I love to walk around, it has a great walking path, and oh so many gorgeous oak trees. Just love it oh so much!

Journaling cards, some stamping, and a photo of the package I mailed with over 20 stamps on it, a new record, (addresses are washed out for privacy.)

 More photos, having a popcycle after running 25 laps for the school fundraiser, and our Titanic tickets.

My weekly checklist of random happenings, some stamping on that card, more journaling (house numbers washed out for privacy,) and a close up of the house we are interested in purchasing, as well as some fun Asian measuring tape washi that I received from a super cool swap friend I met through the Studio Calico message boards. Thanks again Kim.
For this week I used the Summer of 69 Printable Digital Downloads from Studio Calico throughout the entire spread. This download included journaling cards, some tags, and arrows as well. I also incorporated a 2012 October banner from Elle's studio, October Afternoon mini market letter stickers, American Craft Aqua Thickers, a large pink shipping tag, some ribbon, a little memorabilia, and of course lots of fun stamps and ink. Additionally, I used quite a few digital brushes by Ali Edwards; 

Are you working with Project Life at your house or doing something similar?  How is it going? Have you been keeping up all year. How many years have you been doing Project Life? If not Project Life, what kind of scrapping or crafting are you involved in? What about moving right before the holidays-any pointers for crazy people like us? Let's chat.

Happy Tuesday!

    1. Thanks Deb. I am always super inspired by your pages as well, especially your photography. Still rocking my I-phone 4s (only camera,) but next year I will upgrade, not sure when, but sometime next year.

    1. Check them out at Studio Calico, they have a few new ones each month that coordinate with the kit. I believe they are only $2.99 each, but you can print them multiple times. I think it is a great deal, they are also very true to PL size (if that makes sense.)

  4. I have to come back here to reply to your comment because I don't have your email, but you made me laugh wondering if my boys are taller than me! They are 6'1" and I'm 5'6" lol (and I think the younger one is still growing). It's been a while since I was taller than them, but it still felt funny looking at our vacation photos this year and seeing how short I look next to them!

    1. I hear ya, I am 5' 8" or 5'9" depending upon who measures me at the doctor's office, LOL My twelve year old is already 5' 5" and the 9 year old is 4' 10". I will be passed up by both of them by high school that is for sure.

  5. I seem to fall in love with this project more and more every week myself. I love the photo of the stamped package. It reminds me of my grandfather stamping letters at his desk. I seriously think his goal was to see how many stamps he could fit onto an envelope. :o)
