What happened this week? We were home. Paul's family came to visit for the weekend.

Anything special in the spread? Same story, different week… I stuck with a color scheme (yellow, gray and black) because that is sort of becoming a habit (and a fun challenge).

Techniques this week : I ignored the pocket barrier and used a chipboard arrow as a fun embellishment.

Overall thoughts : I love those photos of Paul and Ellerie and Paul's dad and Ellerie. They are both in black and white to set them off.

Ratio of iPhone photos to "real camera" photos : 4 to 5.

Ratio of photos taken by Elise to photos taken by Paul : All Elise.

Supplies used : Seafoam core kit, Midnight core kit, Freckled Fawn wood chip arrow, Two Peas in a Bucket & badge, Kelly Purkey Project Life kit (sun badge and silver arrow), Kal Barteski thank you note trimmed down to 3×4.

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.

    I love how you manage to make your layout look so coherent with each colour theme!
    They just seem to be coming together better and better!

    This layout looks great! I love setting colour schemes within the seafoam colours in my layouts too. I find it makes the whole page more cohesive overall. I think those pics of Paul and Ellerie and Paul’s dad and Ellerie are so awesome!
