Project Life 2014: Week 40

Hi there! I'm sharing a Project Life spread today, this is the last of my "forgotten weeks" that I've been trying to catch up on. I'm still just a couple weeks behind but I've filled in all the gaps and now I just need to scrap the past two weeks.  Here is week 40:

You may notice that I like to use different designers from week to week, but I generally stay within one collection per week just to keep things simple.  I really love working with a collection that has coordinating papers, elements and cards.  For this week I used Deena Rutter's Every Little Bit: Grateful collection. All of here Every Little Bit collections are just gorgeous! The really fun part is that during this week I got to hang out with Deena and several of the other P&Co designers and team members (see bottom left photo), so I found it very fitting to use her products on this weeks' spread.  Thanks for looking!

Project Life: Weeks 41 & 43

I've got two new spreads to share today! I'm kind of scrapping out of order, but I'm ok with that. Sometimes I want to work on what's most recent, and then I go back and scrap older weeks when I get a chance. Both of these spreads were created with new Digital Scrapbook Day releases. First is week 41, created with a beautiful new collection by Digital Design Essentials, Grateful Heart. I pretty much stuck to my usual formula, but I went with a different journaling font this week.

For week 43, I used the brand new November Storyteller Collection by Just Jaimee. It's jam-packed with goodness as usual!

I switched up my templates this week and used the ones included in the November Storyteller, which I like to do when I'm using the Storyteller for a PL spread. I really liked splitting the big photo on the right page over the four smaller pockets.

Hope everyone had a happy DSD weekend! See you next time!

Phew. If you made it to the end, I'm impressed. Many of these were created without a template, but I have been thinking about turning them into templates to offer here on the blog. I'm curious, are there any readers out there that would be interested in templates? Let me know :) Have a great DSD weekend!!

Project Life 2014: Weeks 39 & 42

Yes, you read that right - I'm all out of order.As soon as I finished week 39 I started on week 40.  But for some reason I just wasn't feeling it so I jumped ahead to the most current week (42) instead.  Weeks 40 and 41 are still waiting to be scrapped. Week 43 is actually finished, but I won't be posting it yet because I used product that won't be released until tomorrow. (The November Storyteller from Just Jaimee, in case you're curious.)

For week 42 I used the lovely new fall collection from Digital Design Essentials. I love that it's not a traditional fall palette - it's blues, browns and gold - yet it is perfect for fall.

Thanks for having a look - and hopefully I'll be filling in the gaps very soon.

Project Life 2014: Weeks 37 & 38

Hi there, today I'm sharing weeks 37 & 38 and you know what that means?  I'm totally caught up! I wasn't sure I'd get there, but I found some extra mojo and cranked these two out earlier this week. It feels good be on top of it.

For week 37 I did something I almost never do... I clicked on my "journal card" folder in ACDSee (my organizing software) and just pulled cards to fill in the spaces without photos. I think everything I used is from a different source, so it's all very mix & match. I also wanted to try keeping it a bit more simple with minimal embellishments and I really like how it turned out.  Even though I didn't use a ton of stuff, the supply list is still probably the longest I've ever had, ha!

For week 38, I went the opposite route and used just one collection, including the template, for my spread. This was created with the October 2014 Storyteller Collection by Just Jaimee.  If you've been following my blog you know I LOVE the Storyteller collections for my PL pages, and this was no exception. I generally always use the same template, but every now and then I like to mix it up. Jaimee's templates are fun because they offer more of a guide like the cards that have frames and photo spots and element guides.

Project Life 2014: Weeks 35 & 36

Hi there! I've been "catching up" again... it seems I'm perpetually behind a few weeks but I'm still plugging along.  My process hasn't changed all that much but I have been trying out some different journaling fonts. For most of my pages this year I've been using Just Realize, but I'm sort of getting tired of that one so I tried a few others for these weeks. On week 35 I used Quirky & Messy, and for week 36 I used Becky Higgins' handwritten fonts, CK Becky and CK Jot.

I'm really favoring a faded look to my photos lately, and I use different filters in RadLab to achieve the different edits. I find that this also helps make the spreads look more cohesive. The kit I used for this week is the same one I used for week 12 - I love how versatile the Storyteller Collections are!
