I decided to give our weekend trip to Palm Springs it's own full spread in our (my?) Project Life album. I definitely did not take as many photos on this mini getaway as I did last time, so I didn't have enough to justify a full minibook. But, happily, I did have some fun ones…

I mentioned last week that I was going to be starting a second Project Life album. I have decided to break the year up into three albums so I can be sure everything fits and I am not limited on inserts. The best part of this is that I got to make a new title…

I am so excited to document a week in the life this year. This is a concept created by Ali Edwards (you can read more about it here) that focuses on capturing a detailed account of one week. I did this project for the first time last summer while Paul was away training in Mississippi…

I am three months into this new documentation format. And I am hooked. Completely sold. It reminds me a lot of when I first started blogging. The rush of starting with a blank slate and making something out of photos and words is the exact same. I used to read (and re-read) all my posts…

This last little bit of waiting for Paul to get home has been painful. Not painful in the it's-January-so-close-but-yet-so-far way. But painful in the it's-February-so-close-I-am-losing my-mind-way. I sent a "woe is me" email to my girlfriends yesterday and veronica (my partner in birthday crime since we turned 21) suggested I take on the task of…

In September 2010, I had business cards printed and I still love them to pieces (here's the post about them). I will continue to ship them out with purchased products and use them "shop related" things (like if I was to show at another craft fair). But I decided to also have some "blog-focused" ones…

I thought for sure I would be doing another round of the album I completed in 2011. Monthly sections. Four photo spreads of 4×8 photos. I even have the albums purchased and ready to go. But I'm changing things up because although I loved it, that was such an "Elise-focused" project. I have a book…

Including our current apartment. I loved it. I love it. And it changed a lot over the past 16-ish months. I decided to make a small book to share photos of the space. I didn’t take any new ones for this at all, just went through my iPhoto archives and flickr stream to find ones…

It’s two months later, but I finally have my Week in the Life album to share. I took a pretty minimalist approach to the documentation process and just focused on taking a lot of photos and writing a blurb about what I did Monday – Friday. (You can see all the posts here : M,…

I am excited to announce that I will be partnering with Kolo a few times over the next few months to share different projects using their beautiful photo albums! The first project I worked on was a big one – I went through all the photos and old albums my parents had and transferred the…
