Project Life – Week 27

 

Week 27

 

This is my first week that I completed immediately after the week concluded.  Rather than beat myself up, I am going to celebrate. I didn’t let myself get caught up in thinking it must be pretty and fuss over the look. I simply selected my photos, printed them then made my own journaling cards (I had to do a little something) and then stuck them in the album.  So it is doable if I let go. Something I have a hard time doing.

Week 27 – page one

This week was a fun week with family celebrating the 4th of July.  Lot’s of fun being together, playing games and sharing stories. I love that the boys will have these memories to bring forth in their lives.

What’s on Your Workdesk Wednesday – #162

Hello Everyone,

Swish!! That’s how it feels when I think of how fast a week goes by.  I have to first say, I felt so much love from all the comments I received last week. I know we all live so far apart but our weekly visits are warm and wonderful.  Thank you for embracing me into your circle of friendship.

I am happy to report that my cold is nearing an end. I only have a cough that comes and goes but all the rest gone. So hate getting colds in the summer. Truly not fun.

My journaling cards for Project Life

Enough whining I thought I would share an on-going project I work on. I should say on-again off-again project. It’s my Project Life. I completed last week’s layout (never happened before). I take the pictures and even write some journaling but never make it happen.  Pathetic!! So I am proud to share this week’s layout.

The first picture of my desk shows me making my own journaling cards. I used the blank gridline cards from Project Life and used Jenni Bowlin ink and some old stamps to make July 4th themed cards.  On the left side of the desk you can see my new Smash album goodies. I still haven’t done much with mine but (shhh) enjoy buying all the goodies that go with it.

Embellished Journaling Cards

I used some Thicker stickers and inked them to match to add the 27 for Week 27. I used my scallop punch to add more interest to the cards.  I found some more stamps along the way to make more journaling cards.  The great thing was I found these old stamps in my stash that I got on clearance at Michael’s a few years ago and never used. So it makes me super happy to use them.

Week 27 Project Life

So here is my final layout with the photos and journaling cards. Yeah!! I actually completed one on time! I had a great 4th of July with my family and despite my best efforts to eat healthy, I did put down some dessert. (A girl must eat!)

Well I better get going so that I can start spanning the globe looking at other desks. If you haven’t learned about this amazing creative journey you can take every Wednesday, then head on over to Julia’s Stamping Ground and you will find desks from all around the world for What’s on Your Workdesk Wednesday.

Have a blessed day!

What’s on Your Workdesk Wednesday – #161

 

Setting up mask with some stickers.

Hello Everyone,  I am posting away from home this week. We are staying over my in-laws for the July 4th holiday.  Looking forward to some grilling. This year, we brought a lot of healthy alternatives to keep us feeling good throughtout the day. (More like, I need to feel less guilty for the overindulging I do) Lots of seafood and veggies. Yum!

I chose to try the bird sticker.

Well I have to confess I am sick. It started last week with a soar throat now I have a full blown cough and congestion to boot.  It’s very hot here and this isn’t making me the most pleasant at times (imagine that!)  So as for crafting and capturing stuff on film, well that simply didn’t happen.  Well I did find a couple of photos I took before I had to take a break and rest. In these photos I was playing around with the new Tim Holtz distress inks Summer collection. I have to admit, I normally by these one at a time (with coupons) but I loved the colors in the Spring Collection which was only sold in a set of three and bought those a few weeks back and now the Summer collection is out and I couldn’t resist. The colors are just gorgeous.  I started playing around with a tag, some stamps and the inks but then my cold got the best of me so I had to go lay down for a bit.

Starting to add some of that beautiful blue color.

For those of you who don’t follow my blog regularly, I decided to also include this cute photo of my youngest, Apollo who graduated from Preschool this week.  I was a big old puddle of tears when he came out in his cap and gown.
