Project Life Week 4-Lots of Pictures

Did you ever think you would see me so soon? Well okay...a little secret...I did these two weeks almost simultaneously. It's okay to do that right? Well it worked for me.

















































And this week brought a whole new crazy challenge...what to do with too many photos. I know...jealous right? It doesn't usually happen this way. But this week I had two events happen that I took lots of pictures. So I applied not one but two solutions...
Solution one - I made a little mini album. We actually go to the zoo lots of times throughout the year, but this does not mean that I don't want to remember all the fun things we do there. However, this is project life...and I wanted to keep this so super simon. So basically I added a little lineage and words to a 4x6 picture, added a cover, stapled the whole thing and called it a day.

The best part is how much Rosie adores her little book!

Second solution is to make a collage. One thing I adore about this solution is that because I am adding an insert in the middle, I have both the back and front to fit photos. In total, I had 21 photos! Going for simple simon again...I did grab a basic block template (which I modified a tad). The words and paper are from Karah Frederickson's Chi Chi Chilly Mini Kit. Using one digital kit that coordinated and a template really made this process fast fast.

Project Life - Week 3 (and a small feebie)

So yes apparently I am on my own little schedule. And yes, I realize that if it takes me 2 weeks (or more) to finish one week...I'm up a creek. But I don't care. As sweet Andrea said "I'm My Own Boss". There. That's all I have to say about that.

This week I did more on using my digital stash. I have an incredible amount of fun frames to use and could not resist this "Happy Moments" frame I found...so perfect for the picture. I also used a text box on a picture. I had not used that treatment before and found it super easy. That will probably show up more often on my pages. It does seem to be easier than actually physically writing on the pictures since I have been printing in Glossy.






















In addition, this week...I finally had a need to include some schtuff! Yay. My daughter got an international package and I COULD NOT resist saving the postage. It was way cool. But how, how, how. I found my inspiration on one of Jasmin's pages...a pocket! So I took one of Becky's cards, cut off the circle, stapled it to another card and voila!




And finally...this week I also found a need to hide some journaling. I have to admit, this is way to fun since I have not been able to do this digitally for years. But I didn't really want to go the pocket route again...so I made up some fun digitally.

Now I did have to make a little protector for us, a la Ali Edwards. And although at first it was a super pain, I realized my mistake was using a dull needle. That is the secret...sharp needle. After that it was so easy peasy I know that I will so be doing small protectors ALOT more!

And since I had to make up a digital piece for this...I thought why not share. If you likie and want to use...feel free to grab this

There is no TOU so use and abuse to your pleasure how you see fit. Just leave me a little comment of appreciation so my ego gets a little lovin.

A little direction though you say --- Type where you want. To hide the journaling type on the big arrow and to the left of it. Then cut it all out. Fold in the arrow and paste the arrow (with the black line around the inside) on top of the arrow. HTH
