Story Kit™ & Story Stamp™ | Bond Project Life® 2017 | Week Seven

Project Life® 2017 | Week Six

So far, so good with making Project Life® a priority this year.

My Storytelling With Project Life® workshop started this week and there's still time to jump in if you are looking at taking a deeper dive into the ways you tell stories within this style of memory keeping. This week's content takes a look back at all my past albums to take a closer look at what's worked, not worked, and how my storytelling has evolved over the years of participating in this project.

Here's a look at my Week Six:

Lots and lots of handwritten journaling.

To get more words into my spread this week I created half-circle journaling spots that were added to each of my photos. I used a 3 inch Marvy Circle Punch + white cardstock and scissors to cut them in half before adhering them onto the photos and adding my journaling. On the outside edge of each of those half-circles I also added either a puffy star sticker or one of the small heart stickers from this month's Bond Story Kit™.

This week I included a 6x12 page protector insert to hold Anna's hand-written birthday list and a couple cards.

The "currently" journal card is from my This & That set available here.

A digital version of my title quote card can be found here.

I love how the half-circles created a small home for a few more details about each photo. Simple and easy.

I used the Phrases Roller Stamp + Pendleton Crafters ink to add "just awesome" inside the Avery Index Tab along the edge of the 6x12 insert.

Just the right size for fitting into those tabs.

The white chipboard "8" is from last year's December Daily® kit. "How we do birthdays" card is from the Project 52 Fresh Core Kit. The stamped "8" is from the Numbers Story Stamp™ set.
