Project Life: July 14-27

I am 2 weeks behind here. It has been a busy summer! I'll make this short and sweet. The week of July 14 thru 20th, I used the Blush Edition. I used Ali Edwards overlays on Tuesday & Friday. I find I use them when I have a picture in need of a frame, especially the Tuesday picture. My husband made My Little Pony necklaces for the girls. They collect them and love them dearly. They saw a girl on Etsy selling them & thought, "Hey, we could so easily make these!" And with the help of their daddy they did. But getting back to the picture: when I took it, it kinda got lost on the 4 x 6 print. SO I popped an overlay on their and it made it much more visually interesting.

I used an instagram pic for Mondays slot. 




I also included tickets from my daughters summer camp play in the extra journaling spot. Easy peasy! For the entire week I hand journaled. Since I have been buying  core kits, I find I HAVE to use my handwriting...not a huge fan of this, BUT you gotta do whatcha gotta do : )






For the week of July 21st thru the 27th I went back to my beloved Honey edition. I added a little bling on a journal card, highlighting the current week.


I also used a few different overlays. On Monday I used the Cathy Z. On Thursday and Saturday I used an older instaframe. Not sure where I got these from. If you are interested, write me in the comments section and I will investigate and get back to you.



My camera's lighting was so OFF! These pictures all look green : (


Love the last pic. Though my daughter looks like she hasn't brushed her hair in a week. The story behind it is so cute....Paulina and her inventive popsicle combinations!


I also added an extra page. It is Becky's Design H...love this one! My husband took my daughter to her first "real" concert! He journaled a TON : ) So I actually had to use 2, 4 x 6 cards...so stinkin' cute! I included all the pictures he took & the tickets.



Once again, sorry about the horrible color of these photo's. But you get the picture : )
Have a fabulous week!

    I love that blue card with the current week highlighted with the gems. I always wondered what to do with that card and this is brilliant!

      Thank you Anandi! My husband journals twice a week. Since we both work opposite schedules, he is usually with the girls on the weekends. So he automatically know to shoot me an email of the days he spends with them. It's nice to see his perspective of the day : ) thanks for checking out my blog!

    Wonderful weeks. I love the bling on that date card. Such a great way to highlight the week.
    I'm not a fan of using my handwriting either, but I know I'll be happy that I did. I like seeing my parent's and grandparent's handwriting.

    Danielle I just found your blog as I searched for Project Life ideas, and I love how you go about putting the albums together. I plan to start an album just like yours next month!
