project life : week 41.

Plwk41

Week 41 and I still love this project.

I love how the colors of my photos change a bit with the seasons. This spread is screaming fall.

Like usual, it's totally basic and is pretty much just photos. Because I get asked so often about how I crop and print photos at home, I recorded a short video showing my print-at-home process. This is just my method, there are many ways to do this. But I like mine because it saves photo paper.

For the record, I print all my photos at home and have an HP Photosmart 2575. I print on Office Depot semi-gloss photo paper.

I was pleased that I grabbed some self-timer photos this week. The one of us in the car was taken with the TimerCam app for iPhone.

Ta-da! Complete.

supplies / Paper Source
circle labels, Martha Stewart & Avery labels, American Crafts thickers, Amy Tangerine LOVE paper, Office Depot date stamp, Design A page protectors, 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.

    Hey Elise. Maybe you’ve mentioned this before, but where do you get all of the great quotes you use each week in Project Life?

     I find them! Sometimes in books, magazines, twitter, pinterest. Sometimes I google for them.

    Elise, do you find this to be more cost effective or do you do it out of convenience?

    I love how your spreads change with each season. I saw a similar washi taped desk in the Mollie Makes yesterday… seems to become a popular way to use of some washi tape 🙂

    Week 41! Ahhhh! reminds me how behind I am, but that’s what buying a house does to ya. I’m trying to do the current weeks, while getting everything together for the 4-5 months I’ve not kept up with so that I can do many weeks at a time (when I get some time).
    nice video!!

    Hey Elise do you find that your photos change colour with time when home printed? Just curious? I looked at my PL from 2010 and the phots I printed here at home are definately poorer quality now then the store printed ones, to the point that I think they are very obvious and not nice. Just wondering if yours go the same? BTW love your PL and your general style.

    I just pulled out a minibook where I printed photos at home in 2010 and the quality looks pretty good! No issues yet in my PL album from early in 2012. 🙂
