Week 23…yada, yada, yada…still love this project.

This week was kind of a mish-mash of projects and so the spread this week is a bit of a mish-mash too. Paul and I had some funny conversations, and so I wrote those out. One on the lined back of a PL kit card and one on just a piece of green cardstock.

Had to include a photo of my striped desk and, of course, lots of photos of the painting adventure.

We went to a dining out event with Paul's battalion and the photos I got were not that great. I ended up adding one full outtake to the insert this week and then just trimming out a second one and adhering it to a piece of patterned paper with curved lines. Those lines made the perfect template for adding handwritten text. As always, my handwritten text gets away from me so I just sort of rambled on until the card was full.

Insert this week is a trimmed down Design C photo pocket page. I copy and pasted the text from my blog post on having a military relationship (with some adjustments) into PSE and then printed and trimmed the pieces so they were 4×6 and slipped into the pockets.

I wound up with five pockets of text and one space for a 4×6 photo.

As mentioned a zillion times… I am really enjoying this project.

supplies / Paper Source circle label, Martha Stewart & Avery labels, Studio Calico patterned paper, American Crafts patterned paper, Elle's Studio circle spot, K&Company SMASH date stamp, Design A & Design C 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.

    I think this is an awesome project idea. On a much smaller scale, I’ve started adding photos to my journal to aid in prompts, dreaming, and a perk-me-up-smile! I’ll have to try this someday, I’m thinking even when/if my hubs deploys…a great idea to keep ya busy/and active!

    You have convinced me after 23 weeks of updates this is a good idea. My next scrapbooking project may well be Project Life. 😉

    So I think I might just need to figure out how to make that 1 Corinthians 16:14 card for myself. It’s super cute!

    I keep loving all these posts and telling myself to start getting ready for next year’s book so I actually do it.
