Project Life April 2015 Part 2

April - Part 2 Most of the second half of April's pages feature photos from California.

Pages six and seven have lots of random pictures of Arthur. Sometimes I like doing spreads where the pictures don't really relate. I tend to have ton of one-off photos that I still want to include in some way.

Page eight features pictures from Arthur's two friends' joint birthday party and some park pictures. My favorite part of this spread was the "Spring" insert card. Most of the card came from a PL swap that I did a few months back. I added the letters to help finish the card.

Page 9. Another page without embellishments. Arthur and I went on a walk on morning and I took a ton of flower photos. Such great blooms in our neighborhood! This was the perfect spread to feature a "Home Sweet Home" card.

Page ten's pictures were not taken by me! This spread features our spring social. Usually one of the moms takes pictures for the group. She always captures the best moments. My favorite is the one of Arthur and the baby stroller.

The last page of April consists of some pictures from our visit to Emma Prusch Farm. We went on a guided tour complete with a hayride. Arthur had lots of fun with his friends that day. Considering all the kids were boys, I thought the "Snips and Snails" card was perfect.

Project Life April 2015 Part 1

April - 1st Half We were in Indiana for the first almost two weeks of April before flying back home. The pages didn't quite line up nicely so there are some mix of locations.

The first page of the month features some fun pictures from Indiana. I added some little labels to the pictures as well as the boys' names. Unnecessary, but pretty cute. I'm loving the green, blue, yellow, and brown color scheme for April.

Pages two and three are all about our Easter celebration. We had dinner and an egg hunt at the aunt and uncle's house. I actually captured some cute photos of the hunt and even a few of the twins. I kept the embellishments at a minimum to feature the pictures.

The fourth and fifth pages highlight the candid photos from Sarah's wedding and related festivities. I decided to forego all embellishments and keep the photos clean.

Project Life March 2015 Part 2

March -- 2nd half (Indiana) We spent the second half of March in Indiana visiting family. I was there for the twins' spring break, Easter with the family, and my friend's wedding. In fact, I hosted one of the bridal showers and the bachelorette party.

Page 6 features the few pics I took while hosting the bridal shower. I got some decent ones to add to my book. For embellishing, I added a lot of gold accents to the pink color scheme. Love the little bits of shine.

Pages 7-9 are all about the bacehlorette party. As I wasn't talking in front of people most of the time, I could actually take more pictures. Most are from the painting class we took. For page 7, I added bits of washi tape with everyone's name. Cute little labels!

The last page of March features some pics I took after we flew to Indiana but weren't wedding related. I am loving the Duck Time photo. The little flag sticker worked perfectly on that one!

Project Life March 2015 Part 1

March -- 1st half (California)

The first page consists of mainly pics from Preschool. I'm going with a bright and colorful color scheme for March. I added some embellishments and labels and even some washi tape to finish off the page.

Pages 2-3 chronicled our trip to CuriOdyssey. When we visit someplace new I always take a ton of pictures. If we go again, I'm sure I'll take less pictures. I didn't add any embellishments to the pictures. Every few pages I like to go with a clean look.

CDM time! I love catching cute pics of the kids at the museum. This time it was all about the special exhibit on Vietnam. I especially love the pic of Arthur and friend W playing the dice game.

Right before we flew to Indiana, Arthur and I attended a surprise baby shower for two of our friends. It was a nice Saturday morning in the park with friends.

Project Life February 2015 Part 2

February - 2nd half February's color scheme was all about red, pinks, and brown. Of course I had to celebrate Valentine's Day. Throughout the pages, I added a ton of small hearts to add some nice small embellishments. The second half of the month's pages highlights my special products and my mini vacation.

Pages 7-10 feature all my pictures from our mini retreat. Nine of my fellow mom friends rented a house in Guerneville for the weekend. We had an amazing weekend of drinking, relaxing, laughing, and fun activities. I kept the embellishments to a minimum in order to spotlight the great pictures. I was orgiainlly going to have just two 12x12 pages, but couldn't narrow down my pictures. I added in a Design G insert to get all the pictures I wanted.

Page 11 is my monthly OLW progress and monthly recap. I only embellished the journaling cards. But I'm loving the look!

Page 12 is a new feature in my PL albums. I've been wanting to do a Day in the Life page for ages, but never seemed to get around to it. Instead of monthly (my original idea), I'm going to a do a Day in the Life page once a quarter. I highlighted our activities with washi tape labels on the pictures.

I'm participating once again in 30 Days of Lists. See days 1-5, 6-10. Here are my lists for days 11 through 15:

Project Life February 2015 Part 1

February - 1st half February's color scheme was all about red, pinks, and brown. Of course I had to celebrate Valentine's Day. Throughout the pages, I added a ton of small hearts to add some nice small embellishments.

Page 1 featured my month card (from Echo Park) and a calendar card. I went through each day of the month and added an activity, meal, or weather. I won't do this every month, but this was a fun idea. The pictures are mostly random pics from the month. Lots of cute Arthur pics and even one of the twins sent to me by my mom.

Page 2 highlights more random pics and a bit of journaling. I especially love my cork accessories. The Book Worm piece is too adorable!

Page 3 features our Valentine's Exchange at The Corner Bakery. I added a nice journaling card and a sentiment card from the Dazzle kit. I purposely didn't embellish the photos as they are nice and colorful.

Page 4 features the rest of our random pics from the month. I added another small journaling card and a sentiment card from the Dazzle kit (really loving that kit right now!).

Page 5 and 6 highlight our trips to the Oakland Zoo and Happy Hollow. I did a journaling card with our Top 10 "best bits" about our visits. This was nice way to add some memories without writing an entire page.
