I am almost up to present day: one more week to work on. Week 11 was Disney World week! When I laid out my pages, I tried to keep lots of blank white areas for journaling and kept the photos mostly centered on the page. Then I went back and added the text, character stickers, etc. The new cards ... read more
tenth week, done! | project life
In the midst of unpacking, doing piles of laundry, taking the kids to school and dance, trying new recipes and starting to shoot sessions again, I am trying to play catch-up on my Project Life album. :) I am very happy with how colorful these pages turned out! You'll notice I went a little crazy ... read more

Note to self: I think I extra-love this week's spread because it includes handwritten papers/drawings from the kids. ... read more
fourth week, done! | project life
Finally! I had to keep putting this week's pages aside because there were lots of little things I wanted to include and I didn't have a good chunk of time to sit and blueprint everything. I did have my index card sketches though and those are quite handy! Not many new things were observed or ... read more
