I'm finally catching back up with my weekly spreads. While I'm still chugging away, once this year is over I'm going to month sections with however many pages I need instead of weekly spreads. The pressure might just be getting to me...
Week 25
This week I went with the basic Design A layouts with few embellishments. The pictures basically speak for themselves. They didn't need much. I love the little epoxy stickers that I added to some of the pictures (hearts, houses, arrows). They look so much cuter in person. As for the week, I highlighted Arthur's 8 month pictures one day late and trips to the park, pool, and arcade. Definitely a typical week during the summer.
Supplies:
- PL Kraft
- PL Baby Neutral (stat card)
- Amy Tangerine Thickers
- Epoxy stickers
- Washi tape
- Random other stickers
Week 26
This week was so full of events that I had to add an insert (Design G). I went with some nautical themed cards for our visit to San Francisco Bay and animal themed cards for our visit to the Oakland Zoo. Other than the cards, I added some Basic Grey alphas to label some of the pictures. I kept the embellishments extremely sparse because the pictures were so busy. Including the insert allowed me to highlight some great pool pics and some around-the-house shots. The pic with Arthur eating paper features some graphics from the Little Moments App. I liked how it turned out, but know I don't have time to edit each one of my pictures.
Supplies:
- PL Nautical Theme Pack
- PL Animal Theme Pack
- Glitter alphas
- Basic Grey alphas
- Washi tape
Week 27
For the week of the Fourth of July, I used the Americana Theme Pack, but made sure to pick cards that would coordinate with beach pictures as well. I love how it turned out. Thankfully I had enough vertical pictures to fill the Design D page from last week. I then added some gold sequins throughout the spread to help tie in the firework theme. Even the sun wood veneer looks a bit like an exploding firework. I like the random nature of the embellishments for this week.
- PL Americana Theme Pack
