2013PL : week one
Week 1 – January 1-5.
For this first album, I'll be using 2 slots for the weekly date – the (free!) weekly circle from September Blue. Super happy that she's already colored the circles to coordinate with Seafoam. I'm also using a calendar card from Paislee Press. I recolored the digital stripes to match the week circle, and highlighted the week on the calendar.
I'm really happy with how simple & calm this turned out. A few highlights – birthday girls should always drink wine from a chicken, lyrics that I've had on repeat, and this vintage-y calendar postcard that I picked up at Ikea at least a year ago. The "sentiment" is one of my personal truths.
Two inserts (so far) this week. This awesome New Year's Subway Art is a free download from eighteen25…I just resized to 6×6. It's backed with patterned paper. I'm opting NOT to journal about New Year's. Let's just say that it was less than spectacular.
The next insert is just a page protector with birthday cards slipped in. I added a paper clip to the top in hopes of keeping them IN. So far, so good.
A project life fact – photos can be totally blurry and STILL be included in your album. Admittedly, the quality of that top photo might have something to do with the # of bottles of wine in the photo below it. Ahem.
Washi tape makes an excellent background for clear stickers!
This week is super light on journaling – and I'm okay with that. I don't approach PL as a diary. I think that photos are pretty good storytellers. 🙂

Love that think exercise eat…3×4 card! Did you make that & if so would you be willing to share?

Great minds think alike – I am also using those september blue week numbers – love the colour combos. I re sized them and printed them with a patterned background.

Hilighting the week on that calendar is very cool. Nice colors.

Hi Danielle! No, I didn’t make it. I grabbed it from one of my pinterest boards – http://pinterest.com/pin/87327680244187339/ . The original link to the pin is broken, so I don’t know the actual source.

I love how you used the week numbers from September Blue! I wanted to use them but don’t have a circle punch big enough – I didn’t even think to just print them on white paper and cut – duh! And I love how you put if off-center and paired it with the calendar card. Lovely!

Blurry photos, wine bottles and super light on journaling–yes, yes and yes! 🙂

The washi under the clear sticker is totally brilliant.

Lovely pages! I just love the way you paired the weekly circle with Paislee Press’ calendar cards. Such a nice and simple look!
