Project Life® │ spreads three to six

The last part of February kind of kicked my butt, I got really sick after Valentine's Day and then it was my birthday and just like that its March. I hadn't intended to be gone for so long but at least I have a few spreads to catch you up on.

Spread 3 │This spread covers January nineteen to thirty and I'm really loving the 'no pressure to scrap every photo so I can fill a full spread every week approach'. Like a lot! My daughter is even appreciating the break in the photo taking. Lately she has come to me on her own and said 'hey do you want to take a picture of this'? I love that.

The Starbucks card was a screen shot from an email announcing I had a free drink, the veneer coffee cup is from Digital Design Essentials as is the flower and enamel dot on the title card. I used some digital files from Studio Calico on the photo of me and the other was from Kelly Purkey on our lunch date photo. Getting back to basics is pretty rad. As is that UR Perfect Card from Studio Calico. So hoard worthy but I'm trying to be better about that.

I changed up the protector on this side purely based on the photos I wanted to use, but it also left me the right amount of space for the next spread on the back side.

Spread 4 │ I opted to do one spread just for this day, it was worthy of its own focus. The page flag I used on the journaling card is from Kelly as is the stamp I added to the card.

Spread 5 │ February one to eight and my first weekly half spread and I loved it. Keeping it small and simple was a lot of fun. The gold February transparency came in a special pack from Studio Calico, I added the gold glitter letters to it. The rest of the cards and the hearts came from the Cirque Project Life kit from Studio Calico.

Spread 6 │ February nine thru the fifteenth, so of course is very pink and heart filled. I left the previous title slot open so it was see thru but did add another heart on the backside to cover the one on the front. I used a fair amount of digital stamps on the spread from Studio Calico and Digital Design Essentials. The rest were cards from the Cirque Project Life kit or collages I made myself.

I wanted to add in a real Plum Blossom bloom on the title card but I wasn't sure how it would stand up. I'm pressing some in a book right now to see what happens and may replace it in a few weeks if it works out. Until then I cut this print and cut from the Silhouette Store on vellum and added it to the title card.

In the middle of this spread are two large 8.5 x 11 photos from the week that I really wanted to showcase. I loved adding in these larger photos and I'm sure I will do it again. The digital files on this photo are older ones from Studio Calico.

A simple title and date on this one. I love that a phone photo can be printed this large and still look good.

I'm just about caught up and I only need to do one last spread for the remaining days of February that I hope to work on this week. My desk is still a mess so I might as well press on while it is.

See you soon,
