Project Life® 2017 | Week Seven

Welcome to Project Life® 2017 | Week 07.

I'm heading out on vacation today and leaving behind the grey of Oregon and heading to the blue skies of Mexico for some rest + relaxation + three nights of Dave Matthews on the beach. My documentation plan is to just add images to Project Life® this time and I'll share that once we've returned home and I've gotten back into the swing of things.

As I was finishing up my spread this week I keep thinking about how the most important thing in this project is finding something that works for you.

One of the things that works for my is not trying to tell every single story from my week. My goal each week is an overview - little bits pulled from our lives that include photos, words, and pieces of paper from our daily lives. I don't stress about including "more" and the way I decide what is "enough" is by filling up the pockets.

There are lots of things that I didn't include this week and that's totally okay. Again, find your own enough.

Here's a look at my Week Seven:

To create a few of my own titles this week I used the OLW 6x8 Alpha Stamp + the Sans Serif Alphabet Stamp and stamped words directly onto already printed cards.

Crafter's Inks used include Tillamook (orange) and Deschutes (navy blue). Loving both those colors.

I'm still loving those white POSCA pens. This one is the PC-5M size.

Throughout this spread I included a bunch of past chipboard phrases/pieces from past Story Kits™ and from the current Bond Story Kit™.

My title card this week comes from the Project 52 Fresh Core Kit + a rolling date stamp.

The "6 am/pm" card is from the Day In The Life™ Mini Kit No. 2 - that kit includes 24 cards so you can document each hour of the day.

Aaron and I started watching Game Of Thrones last week. Yeah, I know we are super late to the party but we are totally loving it and we are obsessed with it so that card from the Project 52 Fresh Core Kit worked perfect to hold that short story.

The "bonding time" chipboard and the "this bond is awesome" card is from the Bond Story Kit™ (available until March 14th).
