Project Life 2014 W25-27

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
