So excited to be catching up with my Project Life posts! Here we go with Week 3...
...I think this might be my favorite week for a while - lots of photos that i love here and the colors just seemed to mesh well for me. :)
...I'm slowly realizing that my "Project LIFE style" is VERY (color) photo-centric, with added journaling, minimal embellishment, and lots of word brush art. American Crafts kraft cardstock + my silhouette machine is by far my favorite form of embellishment for this project. And my sewing machine. ;)
I switched up my protector style this week and added in a page of STYLE E 6x6's. It worked out well for the instagram collage and the other larger pics that i wanted to use!
Week Three was busy for us - we all had Monday off for MLK jr day - and we spent the afternoon at one of our very favorite north florida beaches - there were tons of photos that I wanted to include and thus the insert of 6 3x4's (which is really just a Design F Pocket page that I trimmed down. All beach on the front...
...and then other random 3x4's from the week on the back (plus a funny story about how noah keeps taking his pants off)...
The top left photo is from our beach day and has added text/journaling...
And then one of the 6x6 pouches holds a the story of Evan's preschool weekly homework assignment and a sample of his handwriting right now. AND THAT right there is what I love about this Project - that I have a place to save these cute things that I'm going to love looking back on much much MUCH later. :)))
The title date card for the week is actually a FABULOUS new digi brush stamp that Nisa created - can be found here. I stamped it onto a 3x4 backing of my choice color wise and then used a heart shaped brush that I have at reduced opacity to highlight the days from this week.
and THAT was week three.

Ohhhhh wow, I'm loving your pages! I'm curious since I've never printed instagram pics. Where do you print yours? Do you do it yourself or just like wal-mart or some place? It looks great! Thanx for sharing!

thank you - its not a template - i just resized each instagram to 2x2 inches at 300dpi and then arranged on a 6x6 inch 300 dpi base and printed. :) -Susan

I second (or third?) the instagram collage. Love it. Although I just didn't have time to commit to doing PL this year, I love seeing what my favorite bloggers do with theirs. Thanks for sharing!
