Project Life: Week 28

I came home from my trip to the mountains inspired to work on Project Life and that is exactly what I did. I have completed 6 weeks of catch up, 16 to go. This year, unlike last, I haven't stressed out about not getting my pages done. However, there were days when I thought... what's the point. Then I watched Anna excitedly flip through a book and knew right then & there that that's the point. I too felt tugs at my heart flipping through the books, seeing all the changes in her, it really is unbelievable. So, I sat down and started organising pictures (probably the part I find most difficult & frustrating), picked them up from the lab and got to work. It was exciting to see a finished spread, it had been so long. I hope to catch up in the next few weeks and then do my best to stay on track but if not... no stress. It'll happen.

To note: I printed the picture of Anna & Jasper Bear at London Drugs at 6x15 and then cut it down to 12" & added in a 6x12 page protector. The edge (with the holes) was too wide so I trimmed it down, wrapped washi tape all the way around and then punched new holes.

Supplies Used: Geo tag: Studio Calico, alphas: American Crafts, favourite sticker: KI for Studio Calico, washi tape

To note: I adhered white card stock to the back of the 6x12 photo to add in my journaling. For the second page I made an 8x10 photo collage in Picasa, had it printed and then added into a 8.5x11 page protector, I trimmed down the page protector and sewed it shut. I repeated the process from before of trimming down the edge with the holes.

Last Page

To note: added in a wood circle to highlight where my bear was as he's hard to see in the trees. I cut down coordinations cardstock to fit my label maker and then created the Goodbye Jasper, I then sanded the cardstock to reveal the core colour.
