project life : week eight.

Oh my. Where to start? First, I am still just speechless over the amazingly kind response to my so-called project life post last week. I am determined to respond/comment to each & every one of you that took the time to stop by – I haven't gotten there yet. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Oh, and just in case lightening can strike thrice…note: Bradley Cooper does not read my blog.

Without further ado, let's dive into week 8. This is another photo-heavy post. I always think that I should cut down on the number that I'm posting, but I don't know what to leave out! Here goes:

Week 8 – full spread, sans inserts. With funky lighting. Sorry 'bout that! You'll also notice a "censored" box. Just a little snarkiness that isn't appropriate for the internets. 😉 I moved things around a lot this week, trying to get the right balance. Still not entirely sure that I achieved it, but it's done for now!

Week 8, left side. Hope was home for reading break this week, so there's a little airport capture. Melanie & I met up for sushi. The aforementioned censored snark from our email Ventage group (ventage – emails for venting, but with style. Rhymes with "fromage"). A meal plan card that I don't love. And a song that was on repeat all week -

I lowered the opacity of the photo to about 60% so that I'd be able to read the text, and so that I wouldn't notice how dirty the bathroom mirror is. (and yes, I did feel like a geek taking that pic – but it totally fits the song/video).

Y'all knew what the inserts would be this week, didn't you? The first is this cute little saying that I found on pinterest. Just printed it on a 4×6 card, slipped it into a C-Line pocket, and punched through the pocket & cardstock to add the ribbon (hope that made sense). And I have to say – this is a sentiment that I need to remind myself of. It doesn't always come easily to me. The next 2 inserts are Becky's facebook post (6×11) about my blog entry, and then the blog entry itself (8.5×11)

Seriously – THANK YOU for all of your terrific feedback. I had so much fun reading all of your comments!

Week 8, left side. Definitely a brighter vibe on this side. 🙂 Lots of playing with my new iphone, and a guest appearance by Miss Hope!

Fun little photo booth app.

A little "recipe" for a fun day (and it's blurry – but in the upper corner there's a "love this" digi element from Becky).

iphone love. <3

Love having Hope contribute. This was a page that I had torn out of a SMASH album – the perfect prompt for her!

Happy to answer questions about product/process/whatever. I'm still digging deep in old supplies & mixing in a bit of new here & there.

Thanks for stopping by!

I love that saying, I may have to add that to my OLW album (that would be the 2nd quote of yours to go in)
I thought I was weird for spending most of my allocated scrap time (little ones nap time)typing up song lyrics to add into my PL album because the song featured heavily in my life last week, but it seems I am not the only one. I am wondering how to incorporate listening to audio books into my album, we listen to kids stories on the long drives to & from school….oh, oh, oh just got it! there is one house we always stop in front of, it has fantastic mosaic rocks on the façade, my daughter always exclaims over it, I shall get her to take a photo tomorrow from the car window then I can talk about the car ride & the audio books….great chatting with you, helped heaps 😉
