Project Life | Weeks 26-28

Week 26 was fun and super quick to get it done!
I used Simple Stories latest journal cards, one stamp and a couple of die cuts.

Here you can see that the pockets I had created for week 26 by machine stitching and adding some confetti (flowers and hearts cut using punches) also worked for this week... liking the peeking to previous (and next) pages/pictures.

Week 27 and 28 combination.  I did have more pictures to add here but not of each day so I decided to combine the weeks.  On this spread I decided to use protector J once again so that I can use/create the 4"x4" collages.
 I had shared a bit about this layout on a post for Dilo En Español to show how I utilized the mini bags to insert a more private journal entry.  My journal cards are actual library check out cards (what can I say? I have tons being that I am a librarian and we no longer use this particular model/style/kind)


Supplies:
You can find the mini bags HERE

Project Life | Week 22 & 24

Today I am sharing weeks 22 and 24 of my Project Life.  I have been playing catch up because I took most of the Summer off from scrapbooking to do other things.  I did however continued to write on my iPhone/iPad notes and took and printed pictures as often as I could.  Catching up has been fun! I am almost done I just need to take the time to take pictures of my LO and write posts to share.

I had previously shared weeks 23 and 25 HERE and HERE

For week 22 I used journal cards from several Simple Stories collections.
 I die cut the wk and the number 22 and added some stamping and machine stitching.  I am loving that hearts washi tape.

Week 24

This week we celebrated Lauren's 4th birthday at Chuck E Cheese's and spent the week having lots of girl fun!
 For this week I used journal cards from Simple Stories and Echo Park collections.
Since I wanted to include several pictures in collages I used the protectors that allow for pictures that are 4"x4".  I was able to create the collages on Picasa and have Costco print them for me.  Costco carries or offers 8"x8" and 12"x12" pictures so I am able to print either 4 or 9 collages respectively. I just have to plan ahead.
The small pictures adhered with washi tape are 2"x3".  I just create a collage of 4 pictures and have them printed as a 4"x6".

I will try to post 3-4 times a week the rest of my PL LO so that I can be all caught up!  If you have any question, just leave me a comment.

Additional Supplies for week 22:
I do not remember the name of the stamp set I used to stamp the silverware and the chile nor for the sentiment "time of my life".  I also used washi tape red/hearts and wooden? All inks are from SU. And I believe the dies to cut the letters wk are from Quickutz/Lifestyle

Additional Supplies for week 24:
I believe the dies used to cut the word week and the numbers 24 are from Quikutz/Lifestyle.  I additionally used red/hearts washi tape and a roll multicolor roll of washi tape from the Smash collection.

There are so many cute uses for this adorable mini/tiny bags.
Here I used it for my Project Life to "store" more personal journal entries.


 Here is a look at my more personal journal entry on a card tucked in the itty bitty bag.

Here I used another of this adorable tiny bags to journal my upcoming Thanksgiving gathering with my family.  I will journal my food observations since we always prepare so many and a variety of dishes just depending on the mood and the host for that year.  (Which it always includes the turkey of course!... but there is always the "I burnt the turkey and your Mijo dropped the juice all over him minutes before the guests arrive stories! LOL

And here is how I used it to give a gift-card (posted on the 15th).   There are so many ways to use these bags for all kinds of treats and to decorate into so many ways!
