Project Life: Week 14

Sorry for the bad photos..I definitely took these at night! I won't do that again!!!!

Week 14 was a good week! Mom and dad came over and put up the wallpaper in the playroom! We(Adalyn and I) had lunch with my Aunt and cousin, Gramma, and my friend Amanda (in the mall after we went shopping!) we visited with Judy, my mom and Becca and went to our weekly baby class! Mike and I  also had a much needed date night..we went out for SUSHI! sooooo good. It was a great week!

Project Life: 52 week family edition!

I originally bought all the supplies for Project Life to make Adalyn a nice baby book. Well, I did that (I will show you a few pages in a second)...fell in love with the entire process and decided to make a family one.
First, here are a few pages from Adalyn's book:
(Some names and details may have a heart covering it for privacy reasons!)

The title page

 I also found these envelopes at the dollar store and put all of her first cards and photos in there! (Look at all the Valentines she got!!!!)

For the family one I decided to make a two page spread for each week. That is documenting 52 weeks!!!! Mike thinks I'm crazy..but I am loving every minute of it! Every Sunday I go through my pictures from the week (I make a folder) and decide on the best ones..I usually make little collages because there are always so many pictures I want to include. I upload them online and send them to the Walmart print centre. I then go through the events of the week and journal!! I love it, and I love how it looks! I then pick up my pictures whenever I am in town! I am all caught up to week 13, March 25th to 31st. I use a combination of the Amber Core Kit from Project Life, the holiday digital kit from Project Life,  Me and my Big ideas Pocket Pages cards and free printables from all over the web. (Check my Project Life folder on my Pinterest Page!) I am still learning and still getting used to it, so the pages aren't that creative. I still love them though. Here are some of my pages.

Week 1


Week 3

Week 7

 Week 9

Week 11

And here is my week 13 ( the week of Easter)

 

I didn't have enough room to journal all about our busy week so I cut a page protector up smaller then the 12x12 page and on one side documented Easter at Mike's parents house, and the other side I wrote about Easter at my Gramma's!


What do you think!? I think if you like scrapbooking but don't have the time to do it, you should give this a go...it is sooooo easy! I am sure you will fall in love, just like me! I will probably post my layouts each week from here on out...It will give me motivation to keep going! Stay tuned for week 14!!

Project Life

Hi! Have you heard of Project Life!? I'm sure most of you have! I found out about it online and fell in love. Then I ordered some supplies! It "easy" scrapbooking! I say easy because you don't have to cut a single thing! How awesome is that!? Here is the idea:

You order a album, photo pages and a core kit!

And then you literally print out your photos, place them in the sleeve and journal! It is so easy and addicting! (I ordered the baby kit for Adalyn and the amber kit for our every day!) I am also loving the new kits that are coming in June! Lovelovelove the midnight one!

Here is the baby kit

 Each month there are cards to fill out... like age, weight and favourites! With a monthly number card!

Here is the Amber kit

 For our every day life book I am doing a page per week. I have then added some baseball card insert sheets for all my journaling! There are TONS of free filler cards for different occasions and just every day quotes! You can find some on my Pinterest Page under Project Life!

Here are some example pages other people have done (from the Project Life website):

pages by Elana Geyrozaga

  pages by Marianne Grasso

I love the fact that you actually print out all the pictures you take, instead of keeping them on the computer! The only issue with Project Life is that the shipping is insane to Canada! It would be a good idea to share the shipping cost with a friend if you can!

I am thinking of adding my project life page every week...what do you think about that!? It would give me motivation to keep up with it and I could show you what we did each week! I will see how it goes! I am still working on catching up our weekly one! I will show you some from Adalyn's book soon! It is all caught up!
