Project Life Thursday

I am showing my last pages for February today - so glad to be finished with it! Now I just have to start March.  Here is the stack of pictures I have printed for March:



Um yeah, I am going to need to narrow it down some.  I don't usually print this much, but I printed March in two batches due to some deals that Snapfish was having. That caused me to end up with a lot. By the way, I have tried quite a few photo printing places and I really think that Snapfish's quality plus price is the best. They also offer A LOT of deals throughout the year on prints - penny prints, $5 (plus tax) for 100 prints shipped and many other deals.

Ok, well here are my last pages for February.  I actually mixed it up a little bit and used some other products outside of the Cobalt edition.  I used some new 6x6 paper pads I just purchased from My Mind's Eye and some of the Clementine edition.  I really liked mixing in other pieces and will probably continue to do this.

Project Life Thursday

March was pretty busy and then got kind of crazy at the end - my grandpa passed away.  It was expected and he was 92, but it was still very hard.  I now realize that you are never really prepared for death, no matter how old someone is, how bad their health is, etc.  It is just hard.


With that said, it is April and I am busy (who isn't?) but have had some time for Project Life. You can find out more about it HERE.  I am almost complete with February pages and am going to share a few more of those pages. These pages cover Valentine's Day and Eli's 2nd Birthday. I ended up using some papers and products from my stash for those days to give it a more "Valentine's Day" and "Birthday" feel.  I liked using some pink and hearts, as I don't use these often with two boys... Here are my pages:

I am using the Cobalt edition and Becky's Photo Pocket Pages.  I also used one We R Memory Keeper's page protector. I used some other products, including some from Echo Park Paper, KI Memories and My Mind's Eye.

Hope you have a great Thursday.

Project Life Thursday

It has been awhile since I have had a post. Since I have gone back to work from maternity leave, it has gotten a lot busier. I cannot believe it is already almost the end of March.  Where does the time go?

Anyways, today I am sharing the first two spreads from my February Project Life.  I am doing the monthly approach, so I am working on February now.  I still have a lot to go, but it is good to have these pages done.  I am using the Cobalt edition. This month I also added some of the digital elements from the Cobalt and Clementine editions that I bought from jessicasprague.com and printed on matte paper and clear sticker paper.

Have a great Thursday!





Project Life Thursday

Now that I am back at work from maternity leave, Thursdays are my "day off" or more like, the day I stay home with the boys, so my Project Life Tuesday has now become Project Life Thursday.  You can learn more about Project Life HERE.

Since I am doing a monthly approach to Project Life this year, I do not have a weekly layout to show, so I am sharing what I have done for Eli's baby book this week.  Here is Month 3. (You can see Month 1 and Month 2 HERE and HERE.) I am using Becky Higgins' Photo Pocket Pages and mostly her old Baby Kit sold by Creating Keepsakes.  This month I did use some journaling and filler cards from the Amber Edition, Clementine Edition and Turquoise Edition. (Yes, I have all 4!)

Also, have you seen that Becky Higgins released the digital horizontal journaling cards for Project Life at jessicasprague.com?  I was hesitant at first to buy them because honestly, I haven't been using my color printer much and have used it minimally for scrapbooking (mainly journaling).  However, I saw Monica McNeill use them on her pages and thought they looked great, so I bought some.  I love how they turned out! 

Now, I just have a lot of cutting to do...ready for Becky Higgins to come out with that 3x4 punch! Oh and they are sized perfectly for Becky Higgins' Photo Pocket Pages so the height is a little under 3 inches.

Hope you are having a good week - Thanks for stopping by!

Project Life Tuesday-January Pages

For this Project Life Tuesday, I am sharing my January pages.  I am taking the monthly approach to Project Life this year.  This really has not decreased the amount of pictures I am including or taking.  It is just making it easier for me to pull layouts together because I do not have to worry about what week each picture fits into and do not really have to display pictures in date order.  This has made it MUCH easier for me.  Since this is all of my January pages, this post will be picture HEAVY. 

I am missing a few pictures, so I just have notes where the pictures will go once I receive them.  For some reason, they did not get downloaded with this batch of pictures, so I am waiting to get them from Snapfish.  All Pocket Pages are Design A unless noted below.  Also, I mainly am using the Cobalt Core Kit and the Cobalt Cardstock. If you have any questions about other supplies you see, feel free to ask.

This page has a few pictures of Eli I took one day that I really liked but not all really had a "story" behind them.  I decided to showcase them as 3 mini layouts and on the 4th layout write about some things Eli was doing/starting to do in January.  I think this will be great to do each month so I plan to include this type of page monthly.  I did the same thing for Max, which is on the back of this layout.

Well that is all my pages for January. I am guessing this will be the only time I am done with my whole month on the Tuesday after the month ends as I return to work from maternity leave on Friday...but we will see. Also, I had a post about how I am organizing my Project Life supplies that you can see HERE.  As I am being kind of a minimalist with this project, if you have a lot of Project Life supplies to organize, you can check out these blogs that have some great ideas:
