Week 35 and I still love this project.

(click photo above to enlarge for a [somewhat] clearer image.)
I am playing a lot of catch-up here. This is the last week of August, before we left for our trip, and then three photos from Saturday while we were on the trip. I like to work on my spreads throughout the week. For me, it makes the most sense, as I am already at my computer every day working with photos for the blog. When I am resizing them, I just go ahead and print a version too.
This method makes post trip catch-up go quickly. I already had the quote printed and the left side done before we left for vacation. The quilt dominated the beginning of the week and I tucked a trimmed down square of fabric into one of the 3×4 pockets.
The only other thing out of the ordinary this week is the repeating stamped date I added to that diagonal patterned paper. I love the added bit of pattern and am sure I'll be repeating this technique again. That cute paper clip is from SMASH.
Lots of photos on the right as usual. All I had to do to wrap up this week was print the four bottom photos and fill in the bullet points on the "this week" card.
Such a fun project. With this spread, my second album is complete. I'll be sharing my 3rd 2012 album (for September – December) title page later this afternoon.
supplies / Paper Source circle label, Martha Stewart & Avery labels, Paper Source notched corner label, SMASH paper clip, My Mind's Eye diagonal patterned paper, Office Depot date stamp, Design A page protectors (which are available in this variety pack), Clementine core kit, soon to be released Seafoam core kit (that gray chevron card!), 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.
Confused by Project Life? Start here. Have a question about how I am tackling this project each week (including questions about the quotes & photo printing)? Check here. See all my Project Life posts here.
And speaking of Project Life : starting today International customers (in some countries) can PRE-ORDER the Seafoam kit, binder, paper & monthly dividers right here.
(If you don't see the listings yet, keep an eye out, they are rolling
out sometime today!) Pre-order is not currently an option for those
inside the US but everything will be available on Amazon later this
fall. I will absolutely keep you updated as I know more. Thanks so much
for your excitement over this kit!
