Hi there everybody!  Today I’m sharing week 28 of our project life album with you.  I am still behind, but I’m hoping to get several more weeks put together this coming week.  If you are here from The Mom Creative link-up, welcome!

This week I kept things pretty simple.  I think this week might be the 1st week that I used mostly 4×6 photos.  I threw in 1 polaroid that I had taken. Seriously, this layout was a breeze to put together.  I added a few embellisments to a few photos and journal cards and called it a day! Below is a shot of my entire layout.

The “BEAMO” letter stickers, red letters, flower and “all day in the sun” embellishments all came from my stash.  I’m really working hard at using what I have.  Both the “summertime” and “heart today” journal boxes are from Ali Edwards.  I continue to love her digital overlays.

Here is a close-up of the title/date picture.

I used these digital letters and these digital numbers to put WK 28 directly onto the picture of my nephew Ben.  They came from Catherine at Design Editor.  LOVE HER STUFF!  I then used my date stamp and Staz-On to stamp the date directly on the picture.  I really wanted to change things up with my title card this week and using the digital letters & numbers helped me do that.

Here is a look at the right side.

I used on of these journal cards that I’ve used before from Mara Writes.  I love how they add just a touch of what I’m experiencing at the moment.   I think these will be neat to look back on in years to come.

The “makes me happy” sticker that is on the photo of my daughter’s flip-flops is a Smash product.  I found that set at my local Wal-Mart.  I can already tell it is going to be used again and again.  There is just something about seeing my kids’ shoes sitting in the grass that just screams “Summer!” to me!

Thanks for stopping by!  As always, I welcome any questions or comments you might have.  Make sure you head over and see all the other project life layouts at The Mom Creative.

Hello all my Project Life friends!  It’s good to be back sharing my layouts of our weekly life with you.  I am still doing project life, but I am a few weeks behind.  I’ve had these layouts done for awhile but have not had many moments to sit down and blog.  I was finally able to photograph several weeks worth of layouts and wanted to share those with you today.  Just to forewarn you, it is picture heavy so I will try to keep it light on the words!

Week 23

I added several of Ali’s digital overlays to my instagram pictures and I loved using several of the flair buttons from Finding Nana.

Week 24

As you can see, week 24 has a black and white theme going on.  Honestly, this is my least favorite layout in my project life album so far.  I’m not going to re-do it, I’m just going to move on and remember that I really like my layouts with more color.

Week 25

On Thursday of week 25 we were notified that Skylar’s Adaptive Bike was finished (you can read about it here).  Just a few moments later we got word of the loss of one of our dearest friends.  I shared my personal journaling of finding out about his death in our layout.  I placed it under a flip-up protector to keep it private.

Week 26

I used a lot of Ali’s digital overlays this week.  I love adding them to enlarged photos and she has so many really great sayings that are perfect for this week’s pictures.

The picture of Skylar in her mask cracked me up and the saying “This is so you” was perfect for that shot!

The cloud and bicycle journaling cards came from here.  The “enjoy the ride” card came from this awesome set.  And the “ride with me” flair button was again from Finding Nana.  I LOVE her flair buttons, just in case you couldn’t tell!

I will also be including a separate insert including pictures, details, & thoughts about the funeral of our friend.  Honestly, I have just not felt up to putting that together yet.

Week 27

The “love you” card came from this set that I linked to earlier in the post.

If you are still with me, you deserve a gold star!!  Thanks for checking out my layouts.

If you are here from The Mom Creative then welcome!  If you aren’t, you should head over HERE and check out all the awesome layouts by other Project Lifers.

Glad to be back today sharing my project life pages with you!  This week I’m sharing week 21 which was the girls’ last week of school as well as the week I went to Tucson to see my 2 cousins graduate from high school.  I took so many pictures from my trip and I wanted to include most of them so I ended up having not only my usual spread, but an 8.5×11 insert with 2 enlargements as well as a Design G page protector that spotlighted the individual graduation ceremonies I attended.

Here is a shot of the left page and my 1st photo enlargement.  I used a digital overlay from Ali Edwards.  It says: embrace the “you’ness” of you!  I took the picture of me in the glasses after I put them on and realized both lenses had fallen out.  In the picture I’m doing my best Austin Powers impersonation!

On the backside is another enlargement of 3 of my cousins and my niece together at the graduation.  I loved this picture of these 4 beautiful girls and wanted to remember it!  I added the words “hello memory” that came from this set also by Ali.

The right side is a Design G protector that covers my cousin, Lexi’s graduation.  I also included a flip-up protector on the bottom of the page protector.  The beige blob is there because I added her full name to my page and I didn’t want to post that on the internet.  I did the same thing on the backside of the page as well.

The back side of the Design G insert covers my cousin, Taylor’s graduation.  My pictures are pretty dark so they didn’t photograph well.  The lighting was not great in the church.  It was an absolutely beautiful graduation ceremony!!

The right side includes the rest of my pictures from my visit.

I used a couple of my new flair buttons from Finding Nana’s etsy shop!  Love her shop & absolutely LOVE her project life pages!

I used another flip-up protector at the bottom of this page.  LOVE these silly pictures of my dad and my niece.  They ate eegee’s (slushies) and big blizzards about an hour apart.  They were STUFFED afterwards.

Well, that is it!  If you are still reading…kudos to you!!  This week had a lot more pages and inserts than I normally use, but I’m so glad that I included everything.

I’m linking up with The Mom Creative!  Head over and check out all the other wonderful project life posts.

I hope you all have a wonderful week!

Well hello there!  I’ve been a bit absent from my blog for the past 2 weeks.  Lots of life happening. I had the wonderful opportunity to travel to Tucson last week to see my cousins graduate from high school so I did not post Project Life last Tuesday. Today I will be sharing Week 20 with you and originally I had planned to share week 21 as well, but I have a lot of pictures and didn’t want to feel rushed in getting that layout together.  I am thoroughly enjoying documenting our story this way.  Twenty weeks in and I still LOVE it!

Below is a shot of the layout, not including the insert I included of Skylar’s field trip to the Musical Instrument Museum.

I continue to love using Martha Stewart labels to add journaling to my pictures.  This week also had a great mix of instagram, iPhone, instax polaroid, and pictures with my dslr camera.

I included an enlarged picture that spreads over the page this week.  I’ve done this several times before and I just love the way it looks!

Here’s a close-up of the enlarged photo.  I just love how Skylar is talking to the horse in this shot!  I participated in a photo link-up on my sister’s blog last week. The photo of the girls with the horse was from a prompt in that photo challenge. We pass this horse every day on the way out of our neighborhood. After living in Prescott for a year, we finally stopped to pet the horse and take a picture.  You can read that post HERE!

I also included a baseball card page protector with the pictures from our field trip to the Musical Instrument Museum.  It was really neat!

Here’s a shot of the entire layout including the insert.

Thanks for stopping by to see my pages.  I am linking up with The Mom Creative today!  Make sure you head over there and see all the wonderful project life inspiration.

Hi there!  I hope you all have had a great week so far.  I’m so glad to be back this week with my project life layout for Week 19 and also my layout for Week 18.  It felt great to be back in my creative space.  If you are here from The Mom Creative, welcome!  If not, hop on over to her site and check out all the project life goodness!

So let’s just jump right into it, shall we?  Below is a shot of the entire Week 19 spread.

I was definitely feeling more color this week!  I used the cardstock from the Clementine paper pack that was 50% off last week.  I LOVE this paper!  I included my usual picture and ticket stub from this week’s movie.  This week I enjoyed going to the movie with my friends Dawn and Kristine.  I got the “Tuesday” card from this shop.  I love their shop!  I bought the days of the week journal cards and badges.  My stuff came packaged so cute and just made me smile when I opened my mail!

I stamped “Note To Self” and “Week in Review” and then cut them out and added them to my paper.  I got the stamps from Nicole’s etsy shop.  I used a very old transparency that I had from My Minds Eye for the pictures of my dogs.  Loved adding something a little different.

I also printed off the cover of the book I read this week.  In It To Win It was written by my new friend Morgan Kearns.  When she told me that she wrote Romance Novels, I wasn’t sure what to think.  I bought the first book, Fade to Black, and was so surprised by what a great writer she is!  I read In It To Win It this week and have bought the third book, Out of Left Field, on my Kindle to read this week.  If you like romance novels I promise that you will love these!  They are not smut novels!  Her characters have lots of depth and she had wonderful plot development!  She did not ask me to plug her book, but I always want to support independent business women.  She lives here in our small, little town and is as real as they come!  LOVE HER!

Here are the pictures of my layout from Week 18.  Not as much color, but I still love them!

I used lots of paper clips and the Martha Stewart labels for my journaling.  Can’t get enough of those office supplies!

I loved this simple picture below of Skylar looking through my project life album.  I love that she spent a long time flipping through the album and then she said “Mom! I love your picture book!”  This is why I do project life!

Well there you have it!  Two more weeks done & documented!  Don’t forget to check out The Mom Creative and all the wonderful project life layouts that are linked up there.

I can’t believe it is already Tuesday again!  This year is just flying by…15 weeks already done!  We had a great week and again, I’m thrilled to have it documented. Last week was Hailey’s birthday, Skylar’s talent show (click here to see her performance), a trip to Phoenix for a physical therapy evaluation, and a quick trip to Tucson to celebrate my grandfather’s 80th birthday.  It was a busy, but good week! Below is a shot of the layout, without the inserts.  The left-side is the back of Design F and the right-side is Design E.

I love the mix of elements on the left page.  I included a tag from a new shirt Hailey got last week as well as the Happy Birthday Hailey label that Ms. Monica at the chiropractor’s office put on Hailey when we went in last week.  She wore that label on her forehead for the rest of the day.  I LOVE that when she pulled it off she said “Mom, can you put this in project life next week?”  That’s why I love this way of documenting!

The entire right-side of the layout is devoted to my Pa’s 80th birthday party!  There were 22 of us there, besides Pa.  We celebrated with his favorites, pizza & beer.  I labeled each picture with a number & then shared a little about each photo (in the lower right corner).

I also included 2 inserts.  The one on the left is my blog post from last Wednesday. It is a birthday interview that I did with her.  You can read the prompts & her responses here.  The insert on the right includes a couple of birthday cards the students in Hailey’s class made her along with the “kid of character” ribbon she received on Friday.  On the back of that insert is the program from Skylar’s talent show.

Well, there you have it!  Thanks for stopping by!  As always, I welcome any comments and/or questions.
