It's week forty-two and I'm running out of steam, but I still love this project.

What happened this week? We were home. Ellerie turned four months old.

Anything special in the spread? I painted E's foot with craft paint and stamped it on a card to show her stats from her 4 month appointment.

Techniques this week : I stamped the same stamp over and over again to create a pattern. That's not new, but I always like the affect.

Overall thoughts : My copy of the Sunshine kit came and I love how Seafoam, Midnight and Sunshine all fit together so well.

Ratio of iPhone photos to "real camera" photos : 3 to 7.

Ratio of photos taken by Elise to photos taken by Paul : 9 to 1.

Supplies used : Seafoam core kit, Midnight core kit, Sunshine Core kit, Freckled Fawn wood chip arrow, Kelly Purkey Project Life kit (stickers), Elise Joy stamp, Scrapbook and More flair badge.

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.

    It’s hard to believe E is four months old already. It’s also hard to believe we’re just ten weeks from the end of 2013.

    May I point out a little mistake? I think you meant the “effect” and not the “affect”. 😉

    Are you going to share your PL plans for 2014? I know what you mean about losing steam. I’m not sure what I want to do for next year – I’ve done two years straight of weekly documentation. Before that I did a month by month plan. Decisions, decisions! Thanks for sharing.

    I’ve been doing the same thing with my daughter’s feet on the blank 3×4 PL cards. At first they were itty-bitty and now, they’re filling the card. Sniff. Sniff. 🙂
    As always, I love this week’s spread!

    Love the paper colors and the “love” arrow. The photo of mini photos is a neat way to capture many moments all together : ) Still going strong!

    Where’s your favorite place to purchase embellishments like buttons and such ? I really only get them in the lits monthly from studio calico. I don’t have the eye for picking them like you seem to. 🙂

    I am a teacher in the big picture class “december duos” so I will be completing an album for that. I’ll share peeks here and there throughout december, but not the full album on the blog. 🙂
