Happy Project Life to you sweet blog readers! :) Here are my WEEK TWO pages today! Please excuse these photographs. If anyone has a great way to take GOOD pictures of your pages – please share that knowledge with me! Ha! It has been so cloudy here lately and then the light in my studio kept causing a bad glare on the page protectors, yadda, yadda, yadda. You get the picture. :) I hope to get better at taking pictures of these pages as the weeks go along! :) For now, these are going to have to do.
Here’s the double-page spread. :)
Here are the pages broken down. Just like last week – I kept it VERY simple. Just used a date stamp, a bit of patterned paper from a 6×6 pad, some letter stickers, a couple of other embellishments and my journaling pen. I love the look of printing out journaling onto the cards like I’ve seen some other folks do, BUT I know doing that would just take more time and effort and I am trying to keep this simple so it’s easy to stick with and complete. It’s good to include our own handwriting though, I think. Makes it super easy to journal when you just jot it down, right? Yep. So that’s what I’m going to stick with.
I got some 6×12 page protectors that has three 4×6 slots for extra photos, etc. I thought it would be cool to also fill with sweet notes and drawings that my kids do, too. I hold onto a lot of these little pieces of paper, so I’m happy to have some sweet slots to stick them in now. :) Don’t forget about those little pieces of life that you have held onto. Those pieces are sure to make you smile, too. :)
Well, that’s it for today. Hope that if you are doing Project Life this year that you are loving it and all is going well! Remember not to stress out about it and make it work for YOU! If you aren’t doing PL and want to learn more about it – check out the sweet Becky Higgins’ website HERE.
Oh, and if you’d like to link up your week two Project Life pages – I’d love for you to below! I love to see what other people are doing! Check out more AWESOME PL inspiration over at my friend Jessica’s blog, The Mom Creative HERE!
Thanks and hugs! Have a great day!
