Week 38 and I still love this project.

Fairly simple stuff this week (which is really LAST week). Projects and football – that's what fall is for, right?

I didn't take a lot of photos this week. No big deal but it meant I was stretching it a bit to fill the pockets.

Because of this, I needed some pocket filler. I decided to go with a simple statement. I dropped letter stickers from Studio Calico on patterned paper (this one is by American Crafts) and added a bit of handwritten text.

I included a small insert this week to say goodbye to summer. The photo grids on the front are from this post and show 75 (!!) different summer images. (Many of which are already in the albums from this year, but I love the look of all of them together.)

And the backside is the text from that same post, printed out onto three different 4×4 papers and slipped into the pockets.

The right page is dominated by the USC v Cal game from last Saturday. We made up a fun drinking game to play while we watched. I wrote our "rules" on 3×4 journaling cards and slipped them into pockets behind "his" and "hers" stamped stickers. Sweet.

supplies / Paper Source
circle labels, Martha Stewart & Avery labels, American Crafts
patterned paper, Studio Calico thickers, Amy Tangerine patterned paper (red day of the week), Elise Joy his & hers stamps, Office Depot date stamp, Design A page protectors, We R Memory keepers 4×4 square page protector, 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 have fallen in love with your blog! And project life. I’m wondering how you made the photo collages for this post.

    I made them in Photoshop Elements and printed at home so they were 4×4. 🙂

    Following this series has totally inspired me – a starter kit is on my Christmas list, and if I don’t get it, I’m buying it for myself!

    This is not 100% relevant but I just thought you might want to know the quote attributed to Dr. Seuss is actually by Robert Fulghum, from his book “True Love.” For some reason I always see this quote misattributed and it bugs me. 😛 Just want to give credit to the one who really wrote it. And it is an amazing book too, you would probably like it.

    Love your drinking game rules, especially “heisman.” College football is the best, even though our team (Missouri)is kind of breaking my heart this season.

    I just made a similar collage to be 6×12 for my layout! Totally on the same wavelength! Hope that’s okay!! 🙂

    Love this–I made a grid yesterday with summer photos but only used 30 or so. Must be in the air!

    I love your card with the “major creative shift” letters and the photo collages you made. I think I might do photo collages like those for my winter manifesto! Hope you don’t mind 🙂
