It's week twenty and I love this project.

Week of : May 13 – May 19.
What happened this week? I was home again. I decided to take another approach instead of just another "collection of photos and stuff from the week" and make this spread all about my mornings, inspired by the post I wrote that week.
Anything special in the spread? Yes, it's totally morning focused. I didn't use any 3×4 photos and instead played around with 3×4 journaling cards and creating some of my own little embellishment cards.
I also decided to add a 5×7 insert to share one extra photo (of my decaf latte at a local coffee shop) and some extra notes about what happened aside from the morning photos this week.
Techniques this week : My favorite card was made by cutting up a manilla tabbed card (I just trimmed it to 3×4 and kept the tab) and then stamped on top of the tab with yellow staz-on and a hello stamp from Whitney Rae Paper. The journaling on top is taken from that morning blog post.
Overall thoughts : Fun to change things up a bit. Especially now when the weeks are all blending together a bit. This project is a marathon, not a sprint and just like a marathon, you have to come up with ways to stay inspired and keep your mind moving forward.
Ratio of iPhone photos to "real camera" photos : 3 to 5. (and yep, my printer ran out of ink while printing that MOM latte photo. But life is short and photo paper is expensive so I went with it anyway.)
Ratio of photos taken by Elise to photos taken by Paul : Again, all Elise.
Supplies used : Seafoam core kit, Elise Joy magic, this & house stamps, Paislee Press morning card & love heart card, Whitney Rae Paper Hello stamp, Kelly Purkey PL kit (wooden card), Kelly Purkey "rise & shine" sticker, Chic Tags heart tag embellishment.
Tools used : Design A pocket pages, 5×7 pocket page, Fiskars corner rounder, Zig Millenium pen, Rotatrim paper trimmer, Office Depot date stamp, staz-on ink. All photos were printed at home on my HP Photosmart 2575 printer on Office Depot semi-gloss photo paper.
Project Life is a memory-keeping system created by Becky Higgins. I use photos, text and stuff to document our life weekly. You can see all the posts from 2012 here and 2013 here. Do you have a question about how I am tackling this project (including anything about the photos)? Check here.
enJOY it
