30 Days of Lists - Day 1-5
I'm participating once again in 30 Days of Lists. Here are my lists for days 1 through 5:
30 Days of Lists March 2015
I signed up for 30 Days of Lists again. I participated last March and had so much fun. I tried again in December, but ultimately failed to document my lists. I did do the lists, but on regular notebook paper. I decided to prep before the retreat to give me a heads up. Last March, I used 4x6 PL cards and did a lot of embellishments. I didn't want to go that crazy this time. I decided on 3x4 cards with very minimal embellishments. As an added fun visual, I picked my cards to create a rainbow of color. I love all the color! As a last touch, I added numbers for each day. Now I just need to embellish the title card and wait for March 1st to begin...
If you would like to join in the fun, go sign up!
Project Life January 2015 Part 2
January - 2nd half This year I am doing my spreads monthly instead of weekly. This has freed me so much. i don't have to stress about getting the right amount or orientation of pictures for each week. And I can group like photos (e.g. preschool photos throughout the month) if I want to. I have also decided to take my color cues from the Echo Park Through the Year month cards. January's color scheme is blue and gray. I sorted through some of my giant stash of PL cards for gray and blue. And I sorted through my embellishment stash for similarly hued pieces.
Page five features some great shots from the Children's Museum and preschool. Plus I threw in a foggy photo of our street. I am doing "Currently" cards at least twice a month. I want to include those into my spreads and this page was perfect for that addition. The alphas on the street photo are shiny silver.
Page six grouped all the photos from the Winter Social. I want to keep all those pics together in one page. All I added was a journaling card to tell about the event.
Page seven includes some random photos and the few good ones from our Safari Run visit. I chose to journal about that visit as it was our first to the place. Other than that, I added some word stickers and a few enamel dots.
Page eight features some random around the house pictures, but the highlight is my ticket to see Tim Minchin in concert. So excited to be able to get a babysitter and attend. I also decide to include my little monthly wrap-card on this page. I highlighted my books read and some other fun stats.
Page nine details my progress on my OLW word. I included my monthly intentions on a journaling card. The other pockets highlight some of the areas that I worked on. For embellishment, I added some washi tape.
Page ten finishes out January with highlights from our trip to the Oakland Zoo. We have a membership so we go often. I added just a few cute pictures and some word stickers for embellishment. I threw in my Currently card as an added bonus.
Supplies:
- Echo Park Through the Year
- WRMK Dreamy
- Random alphas and embellishments
Project Life January 2015 Part 1
Title Page For Volume 1 of 2015, I wanted to create a title page using fun bright colors. I wanted a family photo, but J refuses to get his picture taken. So instead I just put our names. I added the "Home" stamp (and colored it in) and star brad (at our approximate location) to the map card. "You are my whole heart" is an overlay that I placed on top of the fun chevron card. I added a bit of journaling to the "hello" card and some sequins all over the page. Lastly I added the silver glitter numbers as my focal point. I love the brightness of my title card.
January - 1st half
This year I am doing my spreads monthly instead of weekly. This has freed me so much. i don't have to stress about getting the right amount or orientation of pictures for each week. And I can group like photos (e.g. preschool photos throughout the month) if I want to. I have also decided to take my color cues from the Echo Park Through the Year month cards. January's color scheme is blue and gray. I sorted through some of my giant stash of PL cards for gray and blue. And I sorted through my embellishment stash for similarly hued pieces.
Page 1 features Fort Wayne pictures with a bit of journaling about how we started the month in Indiana. I added an overlay to one of the pictures, some alphas, and a few stickers. The weather photo was taken using Instaweather app. Lots of fun!
Page two is the other Fort Wayne pictures. As it was so cold I got to add the little snowman and snowflake stickers. Unfortunately they don't work for the rest of January in California. I added a few random word stickers and a graphic card to complete the page.
Page three heralded our return to California. Some more word stickers and a cute cloud for my fog picture add to the page. I'm trying to add more story journaling instead of just listing where we went. This card highlights our return home and the three playgrounds we explored this month.
Page four rounds out the first half of my January pages. All I added to this page was the mustache sticker (just thought it was too cute!) and a small word sticker on the top left photo. I also journaled about us hosting preschool the first week back. Fun fun!
Supplies:
- Echo Park Through the Year
- PL Seasons

December Daily Pages: Days 27-31
Read my first post here. Days 1-13 here. Days 14-21 here. Says 22-26` here. I condensed Days 27-31 into one page. We mostly hung out at the house and enjoyed the warm inside. Al three boys played with their new toys. It was a very nice relaxing week. The picture in the middle is of Arthur watching the ball drop. So much fun!
The last page in the 2014 is my wrap up page. I included a lot of blog wrap up stats and a few ideas about my 2015 plans. I love the color selection of blue and gray. Very calming for my last page. I'll be back next week with the first pages of my 2015 PL album.

Project Life 2014 W40-42
Trying to post the rest of my 2014 PL spreads... Just a few weeks left.
Week 40
Family Album: Lots of playground pictures. Notice that Arthur is still wearing shorts in October. I love how the warm weathers sticks around until late fall. I went very simple and unadorned this week as the pictures were so busy. Clean and simple.
My monthly wrap posts were stuck in this week's spread. I really have enjoyed doing these highlighting my monthly goals, books read, and photo a day. However, I will be going monthly for 2015. These specific spreads will disappear, but I hope to keep the content in my monthly spreads.
Supplies:
- PL Honey
- PL Sunshine
- Lots of random embellishments
Week 41
Family Album: Pumpkin patch week! I got so many great pictures there that I had to include them all. My absolute favorite is the pic bottom right of the left hand page. I did not pose him like that at all, he just sat there and put a hand on the pumpkin. So cute! I made sure to add some pumpkin/orange themed journaling cards.
Supplies:
- PL Honey
Week 42
Family Album: Another spread filled with pictures and few embellishments.
I also included the special four pages I compiled for Arthur's birthday party pictures. Lots of great fun. Plus, I added his 12 month photos into the album.
Supplies:

Family Album: Lots more baby activities. I find it hilarious that Arthur wore the same shirt multiple times this week. I didn't even realize it until I printed all the pictures. Love those crazy coincidences.
