Project Life: Week 21

Finally, I'm getting around to blogging these weeks since they've been complete for quite awhile!

Week 21:  May 20 - May 26.

Full spread:

This was the girls' last week of school before we jetted off to Hilton Head Island for our vacation.

For this next picture, I just used the Type Tool to journal "last day of school" and "sweet!" on the picture.  Then I switched to the Brush tool with a small round brush to "brush" on the white lines.  It was actually very easy, albeit slightly homemade looking:

 

You know I love me some Ali Edwards overlays, right?!  I used the "adventure" one on the picture of the little girls below:

 

Right side:

 

We had some friends over for dinner on that Friday night before we left for our trip and I thought this photo was funny.  I love that cute little cardboard camera embellishment (plus it perfectly matches the balloons):

 

Packing for myself and three girls was definitely a challenge.  (This picture doesn't even show the final view.)  I had to make sure all their favorite clothes were clean so they wouldn't run around naked all week!  So I definitely wanted to remember this scene which I documented with a little washi tape and the plain grid journal cards:

 

The small picture on the right is meaningful because it's #3 and her godmother so it definitely made the cut this week!

 

And finally, a shot of all the girls with the hubs and Mikaela.  I just added the three word stickers to the right side and I like it like that.  So cute:

And that's it!  Week 21.

Traci - Thanks for the note! I love to get comments, especially from my relatives:) I sleep quite a bit but I don't really watch TV anymore, unless it's while I'm painting! I get everything from Amazon - look for Project Life. You can start with just the Core Kit, Pocket Pages (I use A), and your pictures. You really don't need anything more than a pen unless you want to embellish a little bit - and I think that is the fun part. In fact, I still don't even have the album; my pages are held together by rings. Let me know if you need anymore help and i'll be glad to answer questions!

I love all of your photo books and projects. OMGosh, when do you sleep? You don't, do you!!?? What size are your photo books, and the sheets/photo slots/protectors, and where do you get them? I'd love to do this. I'm so behind on my photos...they are sitting on my computer, and I need to get to work before I lose them. You know me, I take a million pix. You have inspired me to get to work on them! Thanks Suzanne!
