Project Life April 2016

For this month's pages, I decided to focus on using one of my mini kits. I chose Dear Lizzy's Polka Dot Party. The kit's a bit more feminine than I usually go for, but I think changing it up is a good thing. Page one features pics from our monthly trip to the zoo. I embellished my month card with some washi tape and butterflies. Plus, I added alphas and some word stickers to the photos.

Page 2 highlights our One Bad Mother meetup in Berkeley. I added just a few word stickers to help complete the page.

Page 3 is a collection of park pictures. Apparently we went to a lot of parks in April.

Page 4 is all about our trip the Bay Area Discovery Museum. I went completely different and used a patterned card instead of a journaling card. Of course, I added an identifier sticker to one of the pics.

Page 5 features the Spring Social. I embellished the pics wth some bright flowers and butterflies to keep the same color family.

Page 6 highlights more park photos and random life photos. I added a lot of stickers to this page including some alphas.

Finally, page 7 includes the leftover pics from the months. I often forget to take photos of subjects other than Arthur. I included two food pics in this month!

Project Life January 2016

A very light month for pictures. All of us were so sick that I completely forgot about taking pictures most days. And who wants pics of kleenex and soup anyway? For my 2016 month cards, I decided to use my beautiful September Skies core kit. I'm feeling much girlier than usual. Each month's title card has the same stamped date, but has a differently themed card. I tried to get away from the crazy themed cards from last year. I went a bit mix and match this time.

For January, I kept last year's blue and gray color scheme, but didn't make it too much about cold and snow. Even while we were in Indiana it didn't snow.

Page 1 and 2 have pics from our last days in Indiana visiting family. I added some snowflakes and silver embellishments. Those silver borders are from Heidi Swapp. Love them!

Page 3 holds random pics from home. Thankfully I had enough vertical photos to fill a Design L page protector without having to sacrifice any or fill with strange inserts.  Page 4 includes the few activity photos we had for the month. Arthur and I managed to get the zoo, Mel's Play Place, the park, and a giant sandbox. Unfortunately the last two activities were cut short by crankiness. I didn't realize he was coming down with a cold.

Here's hoping we stay healthy through February and get some good pictures!
