It's week twenty-eight and I'm caught up with the album but a bit behind on blogging it.
click the photo to enlarge for a somewhat clearer image.
Week of : July 8 – July 14.
What happened this week? Paul came home from deployment for good! Hooray!
Anything special in the spread? I played a lot this week with the Midnight Edition (I love it and adore that it meshes well with Seafoam) and Kelly Purkey's Project Life kit for Simon Stamp.
Techniques this week : Nothing. This is a classic Project Life spread for me with labels and text directly on the photos to help tell the story.
Overall thoughts : Love having Paul back at home. The real goal now is to get him more active in taking the photos. Paul, I know you are no longer reading this blog, but let's make it happen.
Ratio of iPhone photos to "real camera" photos : 7 to 4.
Ratio of photos taken by Elise to photos taken by Paul : All Elise and one by Paul's uncle, Alex.
Supplies used : Seafoam core kit, Midnight core kit, American Crafts letter sticker, Kelly Purkey badge, letterpress card & label stickers, Freckled Fawn wood veneer arrow.
Tools used : Design A pocket pages, 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.
