Project Life~Weeks 4 & 5

This week was mostly done with Seafoam journaling cards. I had already printed out the date card in the Olive Edition, so I kept it in. I did use CathyZ.'s instagram freebie for my extra journal slot. I really am digging that! I used it for my current obsession: guava grapefruit sorbet! I also added an extra page, Design D for my Snowflake Ball & Catholic Schools Week layouts. I find I have not scrapped any events in the past 3 years since doing PL. So when a special event comes up, I just add an extra page. This is why I always have 2 Project Life albums for each year. I'm sure I'm working my way up to 3...
I made (from my digital goodies stash), the title cards for The "Snowflake Ball" & "Catholic Schools Week" If you are interested in the info on them just shoot me an email, or comment below & I'll supply all links. Week 5 was straight up Seafoam journal cards with a splash of rainbow cards to mix it up a bit. I also sew an extra flip up for long journaling. I find the weekends we have done a lot & one card is not sufficient. So I just sew an extra pocket on. Simple. I also got in my monthly dividers!!! Yes. I need to have these in my book! It makes life so much easier when I am looking for a specific event. If you have not ordered these, or are on the fence about it...do it, well worth the money.






Below is the journal card that I made as a flip up. I sew a 3 x 4 size clear journal pocket & then sew it onto the PL page...& there you have it. Makes life easier for those long stories you have to tell.



Below are 2 collages I made on my Diptic App on my iPad. I usual post these on Facebook and Instagram. I also print them out in an 8 x 8 size. I then can add them to my Project Life album using an 8 x 8 clear page protector : )

    Great idea adding that extra pocket. I've been using washi tape which is more convenient but harder to do. I may go back to stitching! Adorable photos!

      Thank you! As long as you can sew a straight stitch, you can sew a plastic pocket. Much easier than it looks. I practiced with paper first. Then graduated to the plastics. Good luck!

      You'e welcome Nancy. And once you download you will see all the different styles, borders, fonts...you can choose from. Also you can save it as normal, medium or large formats, so when you print, it is crystal clear : )
