enJOY it

Week 16 & I'm over it. (Kidding – though that would be hiliarous.) Totally love this project.

Funny week, this week. All of my creative energy went into pulling the stamp shop together. I didn't take many photos except for product photos. As a result, when I went to put together the rest of the week yesterday, I had a full blank page to fill and very little photos to use. I thought about pulling some random shots from my phone and mixing in a few of the paper scraps I had saved this week, but finally decided just to slap a big photo of the stamps in there and call it done. Stamps were the focus this week so I don't mind that they dominated the spread.

PLUS – next week is week in the life so I'll undoubtedly be dealing with photo overload.

I do love the left side though. Those five photos are the best I took this week so in they went.

Emotions were running high this week and I decided to include some text about that in folded card, hidden journaling form. That's just a piece of American Crafts paper folded in half. I rounded the corners after folding and all the text is handwritten on the inside.

At the beginning of the week, before I realized everything would be dominated by stamps, I added a text insert with the text that was going in Thursday's blog post to introduce the stamp shop. That is a Design D pocket page protector that I trimmed down to fit 2 vertical photos back and front. I printed the journaling to fit 3 4×6 papers and then added a photo of my very fancy sale tracking method in the extra spot.

And then, of course, the big photo cut up. The stamps look kind of weird divided up like that – but I'm rolling with it.

Two cool things – I am the Project Life guest poster for Elle's Studio this week. A post about my PL process & a giveaway of some of my favorite products will be happening on their blog this Tuesday. Also, blog sponsor, Freckled Fawn – where I get my washi tape – is offering a 15% discount through 4/30 with code "enJOYit".

supplies / Paper Source labels, Martha Stewart and Avery labels, American Crafts patterned paper, Elle's Studio circle, date & journaling tag, Freckled Fawn washi tape, ELISE JOY "this" stamp, Design A & Design D page protectors (which are available in this variety pack), Clementine core kit, Bebas quote font. I use a Fiskars corner rounder (it's not amazing, but it's lasted the longest of any corner rounder I've ever had). I am using a Zig Millennium 0.1 pen and Recollections glossy marker throughout this album.
