project life week #21

Week #21, I'm not that far behind right?  This year is just flying by so quickly, in one hand I love it and in the other I want it to slow down. It's a win/lose sort of situation. 

I'm really liking the look of adding the 3x3 cards to 4x6 pockets.

Unfortunately the weather is all doom and gloom here and I am yet to find how to take photos of my pages that don't come off a little wishy washy.

project 'my' life april 2015

Sharing the month of April in my project 'my' life album, an album all about me and my likes and crafty adventures and more.

This month was rather bright and colourful.

project life week #16

Sharing my week sixteen today.  One thing I spoke about with Jess from Cheers Jess in her podcast with me was including my girls more.  So I got some plain white cardstock and gave them to both Heidi and Chloe and asked them to draw anything they liked.  Both girls decided they didn't want to colour them in this time.  Both SUPER excited to take part in something they love to look through.

project 'my' life #2 2015

If your new to my blog you may not have read that I'm doing an album for just me, here, about me, me, me, me, haha!  I love taking photos of my crafts and coffee and apparently my feet.  These types of photos don't always make it into my family project life album, instead they all come here, to this album.  Or sometimes they will be in both albums.

I plan to add tabs for the months, waiting on them to arrive.  Here is my month of March :

MATERIALS USED : Messy Box 1st and 2nd kit, from A Beautiful Mess.  Big City Quiet, look within. Wood veneer from Color Cast Designs.  Digital, goals, loving, currently, reading, making  and watching from Little Lamm & Co.  Becky Higgins, design I pocket page.  New stamp sets, coming in June to Kellie Stamps.

I used the Becky Higgins "design I" pocket and because the album had different rings, I've gone and punched my own holes to make it fit for the goals, loving and etc cards.

THOUGHTS : my thoughts for the month of March is that I loved the way it almost looks like a glimpse into my instagram feed for that month.  I also loved being able to add that many photos.

project life week #7 and #8

 

Today I'm here to share two weeks in an attempt to get a little caught up in sharing my weeks.  I don't know if it's the weather or the photographer aka me, so much be the weather, but I just couldn't get decent photographs of my spreads for this post.

Since going to 6 x 12 flip pockets have become my new best friend.  I still don't need a bigger size, but every now and then I have an extra 3x4 photo that is needed.  I did cut up the 'cheers to the freaken weekend' from the journal card from Big City Quiet and love how it turned out on the Midnight BH card with the confetti from the Messy Box.

PEEK at the new MAY release for Big City Quiet.  Review 3x4 card from Paislee Press.   Midnight Project Life card 4x6 black and white strips.  Messy box from A Beautiful Mess.  All photos printed at home using my picture mate.  Kellie Stamps used are from the set HASHTAG, here and NEW CRAZY stamp set, here.

project life week #3 2015

Honestly when I started this size, I thought I would be back to 12x12 within a few weeks.  But I was wrong and I'm loving the smaller size.  SURE sometimes I want to add more, but that is what flip pockets were invented for right?

project life week #1 and #2 for 2015

I got inspired by the way some people seem to have a catchy photo at the top of their project life blog post, people like Kelly Purkey and mainly Rachel Del Grosso.

LITTLE BIT OF AN EXPLANATION :  I decided to change the size I had planned to use for 2015.  I was going with WRMK black 12x12, like my previous two years.  Only after reading Kelly Purkey's blog, here, about going 6x12, I was confused.  Should I just dive in and do it?  I went over my 2014 album, that I'm very happy with.  I noticed that if I took out all the pretty filler cards, which honestly is what I spend most of my time trying to match, I could SO do 6x12.  I still want to add journal and filler cards, but not let it over take my pages.  

I worked on my project life over the weekend and managed to get caught up in record time and LOVE the process of the smaller size.  Having a nice matching 6x12 WRMK black album helps.  When lined up with my 12x12 you wouldn't know it was smaller.

WEEK ONE :

 

SUPPLIES :  LOVE THIS journal card from Conversations #2 - Big City Quiet Designs, here. Review 3x4 card from Paislee Press.   Camping stamp pictured is from Wit & Wood, here. All photos printed at home using my picture mate. All Kellie Stamps, stamps used are from my the NEW HASHTAG stamp set here.

WEEK TWO :

 

SUPPLIES :  YES circles card from This is the Life set - Big City Quiet Designs, here.  Cut up card from FOR THE RECORD journal card from Conversations #2 - Big City Quiet Designs, here.  Review 3x4 card from Paislee Press.    Today stamp from Kelly Purkey stamp set, Best days.  All photos printed at home using my picture mate. All Kellie Stamps, stamps used are from my the NEW HASHTAG stamp set here.

project life week #46

Today I'm sharing my week #46.  I sat down on Sunday this past weekend, and played catch up while working on my DD.  I was worried that if I fell behind on one, that I would quit the other, the other being my December Daily.  Given that I've worked to hard on my project life this year just to call it quits.  This was my problem last year, I got too far behind on my DD and thought meh, I've still got project life.  I've noticed that the simpler I keep it the easier it's getting for me, while I know that might seem like a 'duh' comment.  I used to tend to keep going back and add a stamp, wood veneer, etc.  While I'm still adding I do it the first time and keep it that way.  No more back and forth and worry about the design elements as much as documenting.  So now that I've waffled on...

project life week #41

Today I'm sharing my week #41, going back a little as I was having a little trouble putting this page together.  Which is funny as I struggled with last camp putting the pages together.  I think it's a case of so many photos, what you use and also sticking to my 2 page spread a week limit.  Turns out this camp I had mainly photos of my work space more than anything else.  Heck even Kristy and I that usually take at least 10 photos together had NONE!

I decided to pop the tickets from the movie I went to see with my aunt in a little flip pocket.  Originally I was going to put a photo of the tickets.  But this seemed like a perfect little idea.

my plans for december daily 2014

Yeah you read right.  Here I was doing the whole, I'm not giving in, I'm not doing it, I do project life, I don't need another project, I can't and I wont fail for the fourth year running.  Yet here I am, telling you all my plans for 2014 December Daily.......  What am I getting myself into?

If I share my plans, it will add the pressure to get it done right?  That's my line of thinking.  Here's what I've got planned to use and do for 2014 :

BINDER : My plans start with the album that I've bought from Studio Calico, here, that's currently on it's way to me along with a red and green ink, why not right?

STAMPS : Of course I'll be using my stamp sets from my store here, Joy, Cheer and my new Summer Set coming 5th December.  Why summer?   Australia has summer over Christmas.  Date stamp will be used plenty also.

EMBELLISHMENTS : I'll be using embellishments such as Color Cast Designs, Freckled Fawn, Elle's Studio and flair from Scrapbook and More [not pictured].

DIGITAL AND POCKET CARDS : I plan to use digital cards that I'll print from, Rachel, Big City Quiet, here and Oh Snap Boutique, here.  I found these the other day via a project life group and am thinking they might will also be making an appearance, here.  While I'm planning to also make my own cards, like these I made a few weeks back.

So there we have my plans on what I'm going to use.  Now onto what I plan to do and not do.

FAILED : The thing I struggled with over and over again was trying to keep up.  I was in the mind frame, that if I didn't do each day at least a couple of days after it happened, then that's it, I've failed, pack it up, I'm done.  While this year I want to go into it with more of a plan.  I also wont go beating myself up if I'm working on it, after Christmas.

I've also found it a little hard when looking at inspiration, mainly because most are in winter and we as I mentioned are in Summer.

One thing I wont do, is follow a list.  I'm still going to write down things I want to capturing.  But I'm not going in search of lists, like I did last year.  

PLANS 2014 : On the topic if 'lists' I'm going to start thinking now about the moments that happen every year that I want to capture.  I'm going to look through my project life album and jot them down.  Attach to the binder, even if just on a post it note, it doesn't have to be included into the actual album.

Share more of the elf.  This is my girls biggest excitement of the year.  For the Heidi and Chloe anyway.  Last year I tried not to include him too much when I started and the year before [even known I never finished those albums], thinking he'd take up too much of the album.  BUT that is the point of the little guy, not to take up the album, haha, but to share the excitement and joy that little guy brings, for the girls to look back and remember that.

More so than anything that is what I have to remember.  This is more for my girls, to look back on one day when they are older and remember their childhood and the excitement Christmas brought for them in 2014.

These are my 2014 December Daily plans.  What are yours?  Did you buy a kit or putting your own together.
