As I sit on my couch tonight, drinking hot cocoa and watching National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation, thinking over the month, I realize how very blessed we are. My problems and stresses, that seem so insurmountable as I face them every day, pale in comparison to what so many in the world, even close friends and family, are facing right now. We have a home, car, food, steady job, and even toys under the tree. It's been a rough year, but because God is with us, Emmanuel has come, it's all worth it. Every tear, every doctor visit, every dirty diaper, every lonely day. I'm so thankful for my longsuffering, sweet husband, and for our three crazy, amazing boys. Merry Christmas!!</div>

<i>More journaling on the back of the Countdown card. For our Advent "calendar" this year, I tucked journaling cards into little 3x4 linen bags that my friend stamped with numbers for me.

Our movie's done, three adorably pint-size bikes are put together and hidden away, gifts have been magically relocated under the tree, and Twinkle Thomas' goodbye letter is printed, wrapped in tinsel, and stowed behind the tree. After all the other presents are unwrapped, the boys will find his letter, which will lead them on a scavenger hunt to find the bikes! I am so excited I'm not even tired and it's way past my bedtime. Time to sleep and wake up to Christmas! It may be a day late, but my boys don't care and what's important is we're together and IT'S CHRISTMAS!!!!!<br />

I moved the huge album holding the first half of the year onto a shelf in our living room, and I love just seeing it there, knowing I have so many memories and little moments captured. My boys are growing and changing so fast I can't keep up, and being able to look back even a few months is precious. I really do love this project!<br />
Now, on to the good stuff :)<br />

Week 43 was not a fun week to live through, but it was fun to scrap! The True Story <a href="http://www.sweetshoppedesigns.com/sweetshoppe/product.php?productid=26403&cat=595&page=1" target="_blank">cards </a>and <a href="http://www.sweetshoppedesigns.com/sweetshoppe/product.php?productid=26402&cat=595&page=1" target="_blank">printables </a>by Traci Reed were perfect for documenting both the good and bad parts of our week. The title card by Scraptastic matched the colors perfectly, and I just added a few wood veneer pieces here and there to finish it off. Love how cohesive the whole spread and insert are (contrary to my usual, throw-everything-I-love-together mishmash!). It was a hard week emotionally, but I'm glad I captured the details. I suppose we'll laugh about it all later, right?</div>

<span style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Double Digi Page</b></span></span><br />
<div>
<span style="text-align: center;">Just for fun! I scrapped this two-pager with some of Traci Reed's Digital Scrapbook Day releases this past weekend! I'm so excited about Christmas, I turned on some Christmas music, poured myself a mug of hot cider, and dived headfirst into all the pretty holiday stuff. This is my first attempt pairing a "regular" page with a pocket-style page and I'm thrilled with how it turned out. May do more of these!</span></div>

That's all I've got today, but I'll be back soon to share some of my 30 Days of Gratitude, Project Life-style. It's pretty much taking over November in my PL book!</div>

Finally got all the photos printed so I could finish these weeks! Feels good to be caught up again, sorry about the long, image-heavy post. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
For Week 39, I chose to stick with mostly Scraptastic kit stuff. Although I didn't get any new kits for October due to budget reasons, I have plenty of leftovers from previous months to use up. I had barely cracked open Scraptastic's <a href="http://www.scraptasticclub.com/collections/previous-kits/products/september-2013-this-life-noted-kit" target="_blank">September This Life Noted </a>kit. Since I had fewer pics this week, more of the fun cards made it onto the spread. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I particularly love the little yellow tag I made by coloring the September kit tag stamp with gelatos, adding water, then stamping onto cardstock. It makes a pretty watercolor effect. </div>

Week 40 is a mix of Scraptastic This Life Noted and Gossamer Blue Life Pages kits from July-September. Got some more use out of my SC Woolf foodie stamp set (so glad I caved and bought that!). And I did something a little different this week, I was pretty short on photos plus I inserted my pages for the Big Picture Classes Pajama Party challenge in between Week 40 and 41, so instead of using a full two pages I used a page and a full insert for Week 40. After the insert comes those three special pages, then Week 41 picks up like normal on the backside of the last special project page.</div>

The ampersand, flowers, and word stickers are leftover from my Maggie Holmes class kit from CKC. They don't really match the rest of the spread, but I just thought they were pretty :). Sometimes that's the only reason you need.</div>

For Week 41 I returned to my good 'ole Studio Calico stash. I had bought the Marks & Co Project Life kit on a great sale for the BPC Pajama Party project, and the cards are really lovely. I actually used the back side of several cards I used in that special project for this week (I'll post those photos in a separate blog post so this one doesn't get totally out of control!). </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Gelatos again for some stamping on my title card - a little tricky to get the hang of, but I'm loving this technique. A couple diecuts a friend cut for me on her Silhouette, and a few little labels/stickers from Scraptastic and Gossamer Blue, plus my staple washi and glitter tape, and this week is in the bag. </div>

If you read any of the journaling you may catch on that this wasn't the best week in our life. Actually, it was one of the worst in recent months. Lots of sickness, things (including our car and Josh's wedding band) breaking, and general financial stress. Although I definitely mentioned all these things, I intentionally try not to let this album dwell too much on the negative. I want to remember the good times, the blessings in our lives. From the forest point of view, I want my Project Life album to convey a sense of family, togetherness, joy, and peace to my children when they look through it in the future. Even though we struggle through many weeks, even though sometimes I want to rant and rave across the page, the struggle is not what our life is about. Our life is about Jesus, about His power and provision, about our unity and togetherness in the face of trials. I try to strike a balance between portraying a realistic view and a, well, spiritually realistic view of our daily lives. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
And sometimes, it's just about recording what I want to remember, and not what I don't!</div>

I decided I really hate that feeling! I had also run out of photo paper at home and had to wait for a sale to print the photos I needed to catch up. Still waiting on a few, but I did finish Week 38.<br />
This current week should be interesting to document, most of my family is sick, and we've had one calamity after another all week. From car to lawnmower, wedding ring to chair, things are breaking left and right. It's crazy! How do you document no-good-very-bad weeks? I'm not even sure I WANT to remember!<br />
But moving on (or back?) to Week 38 now...<br />

I chose to use mostly Gossamer Blue for this week, especially since I finally had an opportunity to use the travel-themed stuff from <a href="http://www.gossamerblue.com/product/august-life-pages-kit/" target="_blank">August's Life Pages kit</a>. Josh graciously let me go to a CKC scrapbook convention Friday and Saturday, and it turned into quite the adventure! I ended up staying overnight in the hotel room of some ladies I met at the crop (not nearly as creepy as it sounds, I promise!) and we had a hilarious, fabulous time staying up way too late!</div>

I really love that 4x4 Extraordinary Photo card - it was part of the printables for <a href="http://www.gossamerblue.com/product/september-life-pages-kit/" target="_blank">September's Life Pages kit</a> (most of the stuff on the left side is from September's kit). Isn't that Traci Reed (who designs their printables, among other things) so talented?! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I also figured out a way to use the cute 4x6 overlay. I think they're adorable but really struggle with actually using them in my spreads. If you have any ideas or examples, please share in the comments! </div>

Surprise! I hid an adorable photo of my boys, when they were actually being sweet to each other for .2 seconds instead of fighting, under that Extraordinary Ordinary Photo card! That pink tab is attached with a glue dot to the card and to the plastic page protector, letting the card flip up. Super simple.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And that's another week in the book! I'm waiting on a 99-photo order from Shutterfly to finish weeks 39 and 40 (most of those photos are for my son's baby album - I did not take 99 photos in 2 weeks!). Hopefully by early next week I'll have those weeks posted and be more or less caught up again!</div>

I definitely went more in depth day by day this week, noting little bits of our day on Ali's daily sheets (found in her <a href="http://aliedwards.com/2013/08/planning-for-week-in-the-life-2013.html" target="_blank">planning post</a>) and loosely tracking our schedules. I designed my own daily summary cards, and jotted down the highlights from those daily sheets.<br />
In addition to the cards I made, I used a hodge podge of cards and embellishments from Cocoa Daisy (coffee cards and stamp), Freckled Fawn, Studio Calico, Scraptastic, Gossamer Blue, and Basic Grey (alpha).<br />
My favorite elements, though, came from a new digi kit by Traci Reed, <a href="http://www.sweetshoppedesigns.com/sweetshoppe/product.php?productid=26250&cat=0&page=1" target="_blank">Essential Everyday</a>. I printed off several of the cards, and some tabs, word strips, and day of the week labels.<br />

I started off strong on Monday and Tuesday, with one page and half an insert for each day. I tried to keep plenty of neutrals in my color scheme with (lots of) pops of color, especially orange and red. I'm no designer or color expert, but I like how the week turned out. It's visually busy and full, just like our lives! Also I intentionally went heavy on the photos and very light on the filler cards. </div>

That fun days of the week/number paper is from the Essential Everyday kit too. Definitely my favorite paper of the kit!</div>

By Thursday and Friday, life was taking over again and I had less photos and just less to document. I used a couple "thing/environment" photos and combined these days on one page and insert. Please ignore that neon post-it tab, I use those to mark where I want photos to go as I plan my pages. They're easy to move around as I decide where everything will go. Guess I missed removing that one!</div>

Saturday and Sunday each filled up one page with no inserts. I did tuck a little handout booklet behind that Lowe's card on Saturday, it was the instructions for the fire engine that Josh and Cai made. I got a little artsy and used my newly acquired Gelatos to smear some blue around that days of the week/numbers paper on the bottom right Saturday card. I also used Gelatos to sort of underline the "life is beautiful" phrase. It's a new medium for me, but definitely fun to use and add just a hint of color.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Sunday was a very light photo day, so I included a list of TV shows we're currently enjoying and a collage photo of the week's lists for the 30 Lists project I've been working on this month. I need to remember to use some of these filler ideas in my "normal" Project Life!</div>

I'm definitely glad I did this project again. I will probably slip those daily pages into a page protector to keep them with the project, and I"m sure it'll be fun to look back and see how our daily routines, schedule, and activities change over time.</div>

My baby is 2!!! Wow. I kept it simple with one of my favorite inserts, <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Project-380012-Photo-Pocket-Pages/dp/B00CICRMFO/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1379440444&sr=8-2&keywords=Project+Life+design+i" target="_blank">Design I</a>, to include some Instagram and other photos I snapped during the day. I've been enjoying using the Rhonna Farrer app to add cute overlays, text, and designs to my photos right in the phone, which minimizes the time I spend editing on my computer each week. Some weeks I actually do all the editing and ordering prints from my phone - isn't technology amazing?! I do want to work on taking more DSLR pictures, though.<br />

On the left side, I worked in a few little hybrid touches.

Week 37 happens to be Ali Edwards' Week in the Life project, and I chose to participate again this year. I won't have it all finished until next week, but it will be several spreads and inserts. Basically I did it as a more in-depth Project Life style. I'm also still keeping up with 30 Lists, following along with <a href="http://fatmumslim.com.au/fmsphotoaday-photos/" target="_blank">Fat Mum Slim</a>'s photo a day on Instagram, and just started a class I won, Picture Everyday, at Big Picture Classes. Whew. Busy month for memory-keeping, but I'm loving it. Keeps my mind off the more depressing stuff of life, and I really need that right now.</div>

But today, my lists! I've been jotting them down every morning, in my few moments of peace before the kids wake up. I'm so glad I prepared my album and mini-kit ahead of time, I love having it all in that little bag and just flipping through it for the perfect journal card and maybe a sticker or sequin. I've kept the embellishing very minimal - I think the cards are pretty enough! After I finish my list, I snap a pic and post it to Instagram, where I usually end up browsing other participants' lists. Fun to see the different answers!</div>

Thirty days of list prompts, offered twice a year, by the creative gals over at the <a href="http://30daysoflists.com/" target="_blank">30 Days of Lists</a> blog. There's a whole community of fellow listers to inspire and motivate you, a private blog where ideas, giveaways, and daily prompts are posted, and a new-to-this-round private Facebook group. I'm also excited about posting my lists to Instagram (hashtag #30lists) and seeing other listers there, too.<br />
The fun starts tomorrow, September 1st, and I'm all ready to go with my journal. I had this adorable<a href="http://shop.simplescrapper.com/product/gratitude/" target="_blank"> Big Dreams Photo Journal kit</a> from Simple Scrapper sitting around and decided this would be the perfect project for it.<br />

And here's my album cover:</div>

To set myself up for success, I pulled together everything I thought I might want to use in the album - printed-off 30 Days of Lists cards (included with purchase), the embellishments from the kit, a pen and mini glue stick, and a few extra labels, stickers, sequins and veneer from my stash. I'm pretty proud of myself. Going to keep it simple, and get it done. I tucked it all into this <a href="http://www.thirtyonegifts.com/catalog/product/204/catid/13/swid/758c/" target="_blank">Timeless Beauty Bag</a> from Thirty-One Gifts:</div>

I don't have that much makeup, but I certainly have enough scrapbook supplies to fill a few of these nifty totes. Maybe more than a few. Priorities, people. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
If you're listing this month, too, share a link to your blog/Facebook/Instagram/wherever and I'd love to follow you. This project inspired my longtime friend Erin to resurrect her blog, <a href="http://lifeinklistmaker.wordpress.com/2013/08/31/30-lists-in-30-days/" target="_blank">LifeInk List Maker</a>, and I'm super excited to read her words this month. Always thought-provoking. Or funny. Or head-scratching. Sometimes all three. She's pretty cool. </div>

See you back here next week for my next Project Life installment, and my first few lists!</div>

I'm not brave enough for that. I did muster up the courage this week to try <i>printable transparencies, </i>though! After waiting impatiently for the box to arrive from Amazon, adding color to the <a href="http://www.sweetshoppedesigns.com/sweetshoppe/product.php?productid=25366&cat=0&page=1" target="_blank">365Unscripted: 3x4 Transparencies 2</a> set from Traci Reed, and then a few false starts while my printer refused to cooperate, I finally had my very own sheets of customized transparent overlays.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKfe4zOXn-if3kOxF69MUS2YINNTBClfOeBUp12FnitsG62GjvCEevoZjQuyQDLsRxDxIhzd1gz-jktsiUgQk38gaGsWsDIDN1q8yki6hRyn8QKUDbmKN45zQNVMaBHRdGrxnGuhL5A1w2/s1600/IMG_5805.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKfe4zOXn-if3kOxF69MUS2YINNTBClfOeBUp12FnitsG62GjvCEevoZjQuyQDLsRxDxIhzd1gz-jktsiUgQk38gaGsWsDIDN1q8yki6hRyn8QKUDbmKN45zQNVMaBHRdGrxnGuhL5A1w2/s400/IMG_5805.JPG" width="367" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
If you find yourself with an obstinate printer, try taping the transparency to a sheet of plain white paper. Tape it very well all along the top and bottom edges (using colorful washi tape is optional, but obviously preferable). This tricked my printer into thinking nothing unusual was going on.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I love the impact these transparencies add to my photos and cards, without adding extra bulk to the album. I attached them three different ways: Paper clip, cleverly hidden tiny glue dots, and mini staples. Sorry about the glare, I still haven't perfected my in-pocket photography. If you have any tips, I'd love to hear them!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
And now, on to the whole week. In addition to the transparencies by Traci (I used four of them over the week's spread), I also printed some word art and star elements from her new <a href="http://www.sweetshoppedesigns.com/sweetshoppe/product.php?productid=26123&cat=583&page=2" target="_blank">One of the Guys</a> kit. The "made with love" 4x6 and woodgrain 3x4 cards, the "family time" wordart, and the plate/knife/fork cutout are from Studio Basic's <a href="http://www.sweetshoppedesigns.com/sweetshoppe/product.php?productid=26109&cat=583&page=1" target="_blank">Cook.Eat.Love collection</a>.

Ahh that title card. I'm in love. I used gesso and watercolor techniques, along with printables, from the Studio Calico Toolbox class. An Ormolu flair and some enamel dots coordinate perfectly. The Love This Life die-cut was left over from July's kit.</div>

I created my own coffee cup embellishment by stamping onto green paper and fussy cutting (the coffee stamp is from Studio Calico's July Project Life kit). That little Saturday journaling card is also from Studio Calico. And that wraps up this fun week! I can't wait to print more transparencies!</div>

I also created a couple hybrid cards from Traci Reed and Ju Kneipp's new kit, <a href="http://www.sweetshoppedesigns.com/sweetshoppe/product.php?productid=26075&cat=0&page=1" target="_blank">Virtuoso</a>, to accent one son's artsy adventures, and another son's messy adventures (which is so very descriptive of their personalities!).<br />
<a href="http://www.gossamerblue.com/" target="_blank">Gossamer Blue</a> entered the Project Life-style kit club scene in August, and their debut kit is pretty slick. A good variety of embellishments, exclusive custom-designed cards (by one of my favorite designers, <a href="http://tracireed.com/news/" target="_blank">Traci Reed</a>), and a commitment-free structure. Subscribers, however, do receive some perks, like the printables that were possibly my favorite part of the kit. I adored all the little tags, icons, word strips, and more.<br />
<br />

This month featured a travel theme, which wouldn't have been my first choice, since we rarely travel. But, it was an interesting challenge to incorporate the themed cards and embellishments in my spread, and especially with our trip to the Kiddie Park mid-week, I managed quite well. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I like the perfectly-sized sentiments in the stamp set, and I used the circle outline a few times. I may even use the outline stamps to create some custom tags to have on hand for future spreads. </div>

I pulled supplies from all over for the insert, including digital paper by Rachel Young at The Lilypad, and a stamp (Mini Magical Moments) by CD Muckosky, also at The Lilypad. Those fun gold letterpress cards were a bonus for new Gossamer Blue subscribers. I love the bit of shine they add, even if it doesn't totally match my spread. I'm all about mixing and matching! I also experimented with stitching and watercolors this week, another technique inspired by the Toolbox class I'm taking at Studio Calico. (Ignore the blank 4x4 spot, I forgot to print one of my photos, I'll just throw it in with next week's batch.)</div>

Gossamer Blue's kit contents are very competitive, with the "standard" 24 3x4 cards and 6 4x6 cards, plus an additional 3x4 and 4x6 vellum card, a generous two alpha sheets, plus enamel dots, label/arrow stickers, and more. I appreciate the mix of sequins, clips, washi, and wood veneers, rather than having a whole package of just one or two embellishments. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The only two negatives, in my opinion, were the rather flimsy and almost too-small packaging holding the cards (I like to keep my cards in the protective plastic, but these were so thin they ripped quickly), and the color scheme of the sticker and alpha sheets. The colors, especially the bold blue and red, just didn't seem to match the cards. I'll definitely use them, but probably not with this set of cards. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Overall, I'm very happy with the kit, and looking forward to September's! From the sneaks I've seen, it's even better than August!</div>

It's my first SC class, and I'm really enjoying it. Week two is mixed media, so I'm guessing my next couple weeks of PL will get a bit messy! It's fun to mix things up, I have to try new stuff or I get bored. I'm sure it would be quicker to stick with the same style/theme/products/etc each week, but I just can't craft like that. I sure admire those who can, though, and end up with a beautifully coordinated book! Mine is a mismatched mess LOL!!<br />

This week I used primarily Scraptastic, and several of the cards were inspired by challenges for their 3rd birthday celebration. I finally used confetti in a pocket! That cute Enjoy Life card is from a recent card swap I participated in. The last 4x6 card I'm particularly proud of, I actually stitched strips of paper together - quite an achievement on my miniature craft sewing machine!</div>

This week I used more Studio Calico stuff, from my July Project Life kit and printables from the Toolbox class. Several of the cards I designed in Photoshop and then printed and embellished, and I am in love with how they turned out. How fun is that pie chart?! I confess, I hadn't seen the pie chart appeal yet, but I think I'm hooked now. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I also used a fun technique from the Toolbox class on the "Sweet Sunshine" photo, by "removing" Avyn from the picture and typing the text, then popping him back on top. I really enjoy taking the time to incorporate my digital skills and supplies into my PL album. It's like including mini scrapbook pages every week!</div>

Well, I did sort of. But only because Week 28 is part of a super-secret-special blog post on a brand new blog I'm a part of. More on that coming soon...<br />
It's been a busy few weeks. Lots of doctor appointments for the kids, and less time for me to sneak off to my craft room. But I'm managing to stay more or less caught up with my Project life album, even though the rest of my scrapping commitments are falling by the wayside. Er, staying by the wayside. They've been hanging out there for a while. Anyway, on to the good stuff!<br />

Oh, week 30. A fun, crazy one. Avyn turned 3 on Saturday, so this week encompassed two spreads to hold all his birthday party photos. I used a couple swap cards, and a Traci Reed 4x6 digital card to tell my favorite story of the week - Cai's original monkey story! Hilarious!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
More Glitz Designs (I bought a set of their birthday-theme 4x6 cards from Paper Issues a while back), Studio Calico, and various digital supplies. The cute alphabet paper is Recollections, from Michael's. And that gorgeous gold glitter paper just doesn't look as cool online as it does in real life. The "Zoned out" and "Favorite Games" cards are from Traci Reed's<a href="http://www.sweetshoppedesigns.com/sweetshoppe/product.php?productid=25942&cat=0&page=1" target="_blank"> G4m3r journal cards</a>. The cute "dance in the rain", "wild thing", and "you are my fave" overlays are from Valorie Wibbens' <a href="http://the-lilypad.com/store/Cotton-Candy.html" target="_blank">Cotton Candy</a>.</div>

I don't even recognize this blog anymore, all up to date and everything! I enjoyed liberally splashing my 4th of July/USA themed stuff on this spread, and I love how it turned out. I bought the 4th of July kit from Paper Issues and boy was it packed!! That's where most of the bits came from, but I also added pieces from my Studio Calico kits, and a healthy smattering of digital goodies from Michelle Godin (<a href="http://the-lilypad.com/store/Snarky-Snippets-Summer.html" target="_blank">Snarky Snippets Summer</a>), Traci Reed (Hashtag cards), Gennifer Bursett (<a href="http://pixelsandcompany.com/shop/Anchored-Paper-Pack.html" target="_blank">Anchored papers</a>), One Little Bird Designs (<a href="http://the-lilypad.com/store/Carson-Park-Elements.html" target="_blank">Carson Park elements</a>), and Cathy Zielske (Photo Flags).

Did you scrap anything holiday-related for Independence Day, or include any fun themed products? I'd love to see it! </div>

With these two weeks, I've finished the first half of 2013, and I'm fairly certain this is the longest I've ever stuck with a project! I love it! With the stressful, crazy turns our lives have taken this year, dealing with my boys' health needs, I haven't had the time or mental energy to keep up very well with most of my previous scrapbook blogging and creative team commitments. Still dealing with the guilt over that. But somehow, this paper-hybrid form of scrapbooking doesn't trip the same "stress" triggers as the CT stuff, maybe because it's pretty much just for me? Either way, I've truly enjoyed completing each week. Working with physical product, making pretty pages, has refreshed my love of this whole hobby and I've gradually found myself falling back in love with digital scrapbooking, too. But, after playing with paper, my digital scrapping has changed. I'm more aware of how my pages would look "in real life," and I tend to make element choices now based on realism, and things I might choose for paper pages. I wouldn't say my style changed, but I think it's improved. Maybe I'll share a few of my recent digi pages here soon. But on to the good stuff!</div>

<i>Quite proud of my hybrid cards this week. I used Gennifer Bursett's <a href="http://pixelsandcompany.com/shop/Anchored-Paper-Pack.html" target="_blank">Anchored papers</a> to design the striped "Color" card and the blue ombre card. Also printed two cards from Traci Reed and Sugarplum Paperie's <a href="http://www.sweetshoppedesigns.com/sweetshoppe/product.php?productid=25830&cat=0&page=1" target="_blank">Coast to Coast set</a>, and added some digital touches with Traci's Freestyle Frames and Everyday Scribbles. Finally found a use for the 4x6 photo overlay that came in my June SC Project Life kit. More cards/embellies from SC kits, various letter stickers, and washi finished off the week.</i></div>

I can't believe I got photos chosen, edited, ordered and picked up, completely scrapped, and then the layouts photographed and uploaded in this time frame. It definitely wouldn't have happened if I was doing regular digi or paper layouts, or if I wasn't caught up on my album.<br />
In case my process/experience can help anyone else, I thought I'd share a few other tips that helped me finish my vacation pages in record time:<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>I brought a notebook and selection of journaling cards on the trip, and jotted down memories and notes on most days. This way I had most of my journaling, and even some of the cards, ready to go. I also pulled from Facebook and Instagram.</li>
<li>I downloaded photos from my mom and sisters' cameras/phones onto my laptop, and copied photos I thought I might use into a special trip folder.</li>
<li>Whenever I had a little downtime on the trip, while watching TV, etc., I went through photos, edited, selected my favorites, put together collages, and basically prepped for printing. </li>
<li>Before the trip, I chose the main products I wanted to work with and put together a sort of "kit" for the project, ordering some items and shopping my stash for other bits and pieces that might work. This made it a lot quicker to actually scrap.</li>
<li>Walgreens happened to run a $.10 print sale that expired shortly after we returned, so I had a little extra motivation to get those pictures printed. </li>
<li>Once I had the prints in hand, I sat down with my journal, a list of page protector designs, and some paper and sketched out my layouts. Then I stuck all the photos in their (approximate) slot. This changed a little as I went through and scrapped, but not much. Having the majority of the design part done, knowing where my photos, journaling, and memorabilia would go, really sped up the process!</li>
<li>Keep it simple.</li>
</ul>
<div>
Although I pulled in plenty of bits and pieces from my stash, I mainly relied on Simple Stories' Urban Traveler <a href="http://www.twopeasinabucket.com/shop/simple-stories/141217-urban-traveler-12x12-collection-kit/" target="_blank">collection </a>and <a href="http://www.twopeasinabucket.com/shop/simple-stories/141242-urban-traveler-4x6-paper-pad/" target="_blank">4x6 paper pad</a>, and their new I {Heart} Summer <a href="http://www.twopeasinabucket.com/shop/simple-stories/142466-snap-i-heart-summer-4x6-card-pad/" target="_blank">4x6 paper pad</a>. I also picked up a couple packs of MAMBI cards from Michaels, in their travel and summer themes. The rest of the cards are from Studio Calico, a few random ones purchased in sets from Paper Issues, and some special ones from a couple card swaps I participated in recently.</div>
<div>
I'm not sure of the best way to share all these, so I think I'll just dump them all in here and add notes underneath certain layouts where applicable. Here we go!</div>

<i>All of the above layouts are from Tuesday, when we ventured into downtown D.C. for sightseeing, all three boys in tow. It was quite an adventure! The weather was gorgeous, the sights stunning. I didn't want to limit myself when we took so many photos, made so many memories, so I just kept going until all my favorites fit! I included a 12z12 page protector to stick in all that "memorabilia" you accumulate when traveling, especially to museums. I love brochures. </i></div>

But thanks to an awesome birthday gift, I may soon be playing with Radlab! Can't wait!</i></div>

If you made it all the way down here, you're probably either my family, or incredibly bored. Either way, thanks for looking! I'll be back later this week with weeks 25 and 26. </div>

I'm SO excited to spend 11 days with my family and do some sightseeing in our capital!<br />
<br />
Week 21<br />
This week I used mostly my Studio Calico kit. The twine and that "cute but devilish" card were purchased from Paper Issues, and the "Soak up the Sun" and "Mr. Adorable" bits are printed out from Traci Reed kits.<br />

Whew! Sorry for the drop-and-run, but I've got last minute packing to do!! In a couple weeks I'll be back to share how I scrapped our vacation right into my Project Life album!Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11470295075663814891noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1385058274739382370.post-36651611866794289932013-05-22T11:43:00.001-05:002013-05-22T11:44:16.931-05:00Project Life, Week 20Well, well, well. Look at me with only one week to share! Yep, pattin' myself on the back right now. This week was rough in many regards, particularly after my boys' big doctor's appointment on Thursday. Life-changing news. Within the next week or two Avyn will begin a formula-only diet, no other food or drink allowed, to see if his symptoms improve. Then we will reintroduce foods one at a time. It's a long road, and I'm still mentally and emotionally processing the ramifications for our family. I used the "Change" card to simply express this upheaval, as I'm not quite ready to journal a ton about it yet.<br />
I enjoyed using Traci Reed's new <a href="http://www.sweetshoppedesigns.com/sweetshoppe/product.php?productid=25577&cat=0&page=1" target="_blank">Lifestyle Stamps</a> to dress up my photos, and her 3x4 and 4x6 collage templates to lay out some of my pictures. The paper stuff is from my usual, Studio Calico, Freckled Fawn, American Crafts, Basic Grey, Paper Issues, etc.<br />

I'm also a teensy bit surprised that I've stuck with the project. My life, with three little boys at home, gets pretty crazy and it can be hard to find time to scrap. So I got thinking about some of the reasons I've made it to this point:<br />
<div>
<ol>
<li>Fresh, fun supplies every month. Subscribing to Studio Calico's Project Life kit club was the best decision ever. I love getting a coordinated set of trendy products every month without the hassle and time of shopping around. Who doesn't love playing with new goodies?! </li>
<li>Digital supplies to add variety and fill in the gaps. Another great investment was a pack of Epson Premium Matte Presentation paper - it prints digital journal cards and elements beautifully. </li>
<li>Printing at home or Walgreens 1-hour. Sure, I would have better quality photos if I ordered through Persnickety Prints, but I know myself. Instant gratification = actually doing the project. </li>
<li>Having a dedicated craft room. I can leave a spread in progress, leave supplies out, and not worry (well, not too much anyway!) about the boys destroying it. It's a place I can escape to, and recharge my mental/emotional batteries while watching TV on my laptop and scrapping. SO therapeutic!</li>
<li>Keeping the end goal and overall "reason" in mind - so my family has photos and stories to look at and remember. I chose to do Project Life in a paper format primarily so my family would have something tangible to look at. Toddlers and preschoolers are quite narcissistic, after all, and they love looking at pictures of themselves!</li>
</ol>
<div>
If you're a Project Lifer too, what are some of the reasons you've made it this far? </div>

I especially enjoyed creating this week's spread. I printed off some fun bits from Michelle Godin's <a href="https://the-lilypad.com/store/Snarky-Snippets-Books.html" target="_blank">Snarky Snippets: Books</a>, and I masked, spritzed, and stamped a few cards. And, of course, there's that gloriously hilarious big photo! It totally deserved three full spots, right? The rest of the cards are either Studio Calico or Project Life: Jade kit, except for the blue striped one and the speech bubble one - those I received in a PL card swap. I have some pretty artistic fellow crafters.<br />

(Speaking of Cathy Zielske, she has an amazing and poignant blog post about <a href="http://cathyzielske.typepad.com/my_weblog/2013/05/why-i-wish-i-had-done-this-sooner-a-short-essay-on-my-personal-view-of-the-value-of-project-life.html" target="_blank">her personal view of the value of Project Life</a>. Go read it.) Since it's one of my favorite holidays, I felt interNational Scrapbooking Day deserved not only its own card, but a whole insert! I took a bunch of Instagram photos for various photo challenges on iNSD.</div>

I'll be including lots of Traci Reed goodies on my spreads from now on, because (drum roll please) I'm on her newly created Project Life team as a hybrid artist!!! I am super excited and honored to join the illustrious Hawt Mamas, and incorporate her artsy, trendy, fun designs into my Project Life album. I may be doing a few digital inserts, too.<br />
So this week I have cards from Traci's <a href="http://www.sweetshoppedesigns.com/sweetshoppe/product.php?productid=25442&cat=544&page=2" target="_blank">Get Artsy set</a> and a previous Facebook freebie, Hashtag cards. The Epic Awesomeness word art is by Karla Dudley, from her<a href="http://pixelsandcompany.com/shop/Life-Cards.html" target="_blank"> Life cards</a>, and the Silly Goofy Mine word art is from her <a href="http://pixelsandcompany.com/shop/Walter-the-frames.html" target="_blank">Walter photo frames</a>.<br />
Paper cards from Studio Calico and Jade Project Life kit. Embellishments, as usual, from everywhere - Studio Calico, Freckled Fawn, Paper Issues, Two Peas in a Bucket.<br />

I'm just going to dump the last 6 weeks here, and then I'll be all caught up! Sorry about the long, image-heavy post. I'll try to keep the commentary to a minimum :).<br />

I got my April Studio Calico goodies last week and I'm excited to play with all the fun new journal cards, embellishments, stamps and papers. I love getting new supplies!<br />
I also tentatively stepped into the physical-art-journaling world today, and started my first few pages. Not ready to share pictures yet, but I will soon. I have no idea what I'm doing, but it's fun to paint and get gesso on my fresh manicure!<br />

Moving week! My picture quality went down the tube this week, we were so busy moving across the neighborhood (literally, a mile away). Oh, yeah, hubby and I celebrated our 5th anniversary on February 29, too. (What, you say? There's no 29th in February this year? Yeah, we only get a "real" anniversary every 4 years...) Sadly, we weren't able to do anything to celebrate with it falling in the middle of the move. Maybe once things settle down in a few months, and we find a sitter willing to take on three rowdy boys!<br />

It's so pretty I don't want to give it away! Am I the only one who struggles with crafty selfishness?!<br />
Anyway, here's my Easter cards, made with the Studio Calico March <a href="http://www.studiocalico.com/kits/neverland-card-kit" target="_blank">Neverland card kit</a>, an October Afternoon Sprinklers mist, an SC chevron mask, and a random tulip stamp I found in my stash.<br />

Here's the rainbow card. It makes me smile :). I used washi from here, there, and everywhere along with wood stars and a sweet polaroid card I bought at <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/paperissues?ref=em" target="_blank">Paper Issues</a>. Glitter tape is American Crafts, definitely a new addiction for me. I have seven colors now, and I NEED THEM ALL. It's like washi, but with GLITTER! Can't get better than that.</div>

At this rate, maybe I'll be caught up with the blogging by end of next week, and I can start posting each week as I complete it.<br />
I also had a moment of insanity and ordered the Jade Project Life kit from HSN last week. At first, I thought about doing a 2012 album, but then my brain returned from its coffee break and remembered I already have plenty of digital pages scrapped for the last couple of years. I do want to complete a baby book for each of the boys at some point, but I'm holding out for the Baby Editions, if I even do those in paper.<br />
Then I remembered all the boxes and envelopes full of photos from my childhood and teenage years, before digital cameras took over. I think I'll begin sorting through those, and figure out a way to get them all in an album(s) with the Jade edition. Because obviously I need another huge project to fill my spare time.<br />

This week I used another insert to document Valentine's Day. Since Josh worked all day, I focused on the three people I love second-best in life - my boys! We went to the park, decorated hearts, and spent quality time together. I love all the pretty cards I worked into this week's spread! Most are from Studio Calico's February Project Life kit.I also included a cute chevron camera die-cut and some wood veneer I picked up at <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/paperissues" target="_blank">Paper Issues</a> (my new favorite online scrapbooking shop!).</div>

Week eight documents my latest shopping loves - Paper Issues and TJ Maxx. I also dipped into digi again, with a printed speech bubble card from Michelle Godin's <a href="http://the-lilypad.com/store/Snarky-Snippets-Awesome.html" target="_blank">Snarky Snippets: Awesome</a> and a hashtag card by Traci Reed. I also got a little washi-crazy this week. Well, crazier than normal. </div>

On the left side, I started with a Seafoam title card, Dear Lizzy Fancy glitter foam Thickers, a Twine and Ink star (from a Studio Calico PL kit), and my Smash date stamp. The first 4x6 photo is all digital, with lovey-dovey goodies from The Lilypad's <a href="http://the-lilypad.com/store/BYOC-FEB/" target="_blank">February BYOC</a>. The little boy journal card is from This&That by Lori Whitlock. Then more digi embellishing, a Seafoam journal card, Smash stickies, washi, a little Chic Tag, vellum arrow from a Studio Calico kit, and a Pebbles word label.</div>

Love this layout! This week I really delved into my digital supplies, inspired by the beautiful stuff in The Lilypad's <a href="http://the-lilypad.com/store/BYOC-FEB/" target="_blank">February BYOC</a> (Build Your Own Collection, a whole bunch of coordinating, mix-and-match digital supplies released every month). The top right 4x6 and the second 3x4 cards include digital elements printed right onto my photos. The top left 4x6 includes some more bits from This&That line by Lori Whitlock. I'm super proud of the hidden journaling pocket I created with my favorite washi on the top right! See that little tab? Cute, right?! I stuck a vellum arrow, Dear Lizzy brad, and Tim&Beck alpha stickers on top of my pocket. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Also seen on this side: Seafoam journal card, Studio Calico labels and calendar card, more washi, and lots of alpha stickers! I'm kinda obsessed with them, especially the tiny ones. So perfect for Project Life! Oh, and I prettied up the calendar card with a stamp from Studio Calico's 34th Street kit. </div>

I dabbled with spray ink and masks this week. Not entirely successfully, but I think the title card is pretty :). The number is American Crafts Jewelry Box Thickers, and the Week letters are Martha Stewart (hurrah for Michael's clearance!). A mix of Studio Calico February PL kit, Seafoam, and one printed-out journal card. Those sweet little circles are also printed out, from the <a href="http://the-lilypad.com/store/dotted-love-edition.html" target="_blank">Dotted: Love Edition</a> by Amy Martin. I even managed to size them currently to use the only circle punch I own. I'm ridiculously proud of that hybrid accomplishment. The kitchen photo is decorated with elements from Karla Dudley's <a href="http://pixelsandcompany.com/shop/Damselle-Collection.html" target="_blank">Damselle </a>collection.</div>

I thought those Facebook status cards by Peppermint Creative added the perfect touch! Added two more Studio Calico cards, some tags and badges from Evalicious, and of course the washi! </div>

I managed to include some actual ephemera this week, a discharge summary from the doctor for Riah, a birthday party invite, and a couple tickets from a men's dinner my husband took our oldest son to. The invitation lifts up to reveal a collage of photos from the party.</div>

Lots of photos this week, as we celebrated my son's 4th birthday party! I used quite a bit from my Seafoam kit this week, along with a few cards & embellies from the Studio Calico Project Life January kit. More of <a href="http://the-lilypad.com/store/search.php?mode=search&page=1" target="_blank">Lili's photo collages</a>. And washi. You won't see a week without washi. I even worked in some digital washi on the 4x6 collage in the bottom left slot of Week 3's left side.</div>

Lots of pictures again. My parents were visiting over weeks 2 and 3, and we did a lot of fun activities. My life isn't usually so exciting. I was excited to use that adorable "Hello My Name Is" card this week (from the SC January Project Life kit), for my son's actual birthday. </div>

I used an insert for the first time this week! Walgreens came out with a new app (or at least it's new to me), Printicular, which lets you select images from your Instagram feed and print 4x4 matte photos in one hour! Pretty much changed my ever-lovin Project Life, uh, life. I really like the quality and feel of these 4x4 photos, although I'm not always thrilled with the quality of their regular 4x6 prints.<br />
A friend in my Project Life Facebook "support group" sent me a goodie envelope packed with journal cards, tags, etc. and I worked in a couple of those this week, along with my regular stuff.<br />
Wow... goodbye January!Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11470295075663814891noreply@blogger.com1
