Finished up two weeks of my digital Project Life pages this weekend. Everything from Easter, to play dates, to 4th birthday party prep, to beetle painting at preschool, to my birthday this week. As always, so glad to be collecting all these moments of our lives.

Supplies:

Secretary Date Stamps & Brush Set 2 ---> I was inspired by Elise's stamped dates on a recent blog post. It would have been sooo much easier to stamp in real life than it was to arrange in PSE, but I'm still happy I did it.

Project Life - week 14

Here we are, another week gone by! I've been trying hard to make sure I finish each week of Project Life pages during the following week. I know that if I fall behind, I will not be able to catch up - and I will forget all the little details that make this project so special. This feels like one of the most valuable memory-keeping projects I have undertaken. That's why I am making it a priority. However, it is taking up most of my "hobby" time - my sewing machine is feeling lonely, I've been blogging less, and I've only made a handful of paper scrapbook pages this year. That said, I am still loving this project, and I'm so glad to be doing it digitally, because I know I wouldn't be able to keep up this well with the paper version - and I don't really want huge albums filling up our bookshelves.

This week I used the photo technique that Elise Blaha blogged about. I had no problem putting the shapes over the photos in PSE and making them less opaque, but when I tried to put a text box on top of the shape, it just wouldn't work. So, I added the shape, dragged the photo into the Project Life template, then put the text on top while it was in the template. That actually worked fine, just not sure why I couldn't do it over the original photo - any ideas PSE experts?

Project Life - week 13

Here's my latest 2 pg. spread. I was a little low on photos, and I didn't have something to represent each day of the week. I do like how it ended up with half of each page focused on one event - the left side of the first page is about Rachel's baby shower, and the right side of the second page is about an impromptu playground stop we made on Friday afternoon.
If you'd like to see the images in a larger format, you can click through to Flickr. I was browsing through my Project Life set on Flickr and getting super excited imagining how awesome it will be to get a photobook at the end of 2012!

Monday cuteness

I couldn't resist sharing these photos I took of Kenley this morning before we took Lachlan to school.
She looked so cute in her new spring outfit and orange moccasins that I decided to put her hair in pigtails. Too much cute to handle!!


Hope you had a good M0nday!
