Project Life weeks 16 & 17

 


Hello and Happy Memorial Day!! I hope you've had a great long holiday weekend. I know I've sure enjoyed it. Taking the time to remember and be very thankful today and everyday for those who fight for our freedom and those that we've lost and that have gone on a better place.

Hello and Happy Memorial Day!!! I'm back today to share weeks 16 & 17 of project life. I really like the way both of these weeks came together. Both weeks were pretty busy which always makes for a good layout.
Week 17
this week included Easter and that super cute bunny cake I made, softball, lake time and a couple movies thrown in. A very good week.
Hope the rest of your week is just as good as the weekend!!

Sketchbook

I signed up for Kelly Purkey's  sketchbook class at Studio Calico this month and I'm loving it. I love using sketches as a jumping off point to get the creative juices flowing and man do I love the sketches in her class. This is the second one of her classes that I've taken and have loved both of them and am in awe of the talent and ideas that people come up with just by using a sketch to get started. I wanted to share a few of the layouts I've created so far during the class.


I ended up adding love under bike since I had just done a page about my new bike, but failed to take another picture of it.
I love sketches because they can be used over and over and over again. You can change them up in so many different ways. They really are a great tool to use when you are stuck.

Project Life Week 14 & 15

Hello week 14 and 15 and Tuesday. Where is Friday?? I decided to post two weeks again since I'm still trying to get caught up on getting them posted. These two week were both pretty full and fun weeks. I even included my insert of the year with the program for the musical that I went to go see with a friend. I've discovered that I need to start being a little more creative with my spreads and maybe try something different. I know the whole point in project life is to keep it simple so you'll stay caught up and not feel overwhelmed with pictures and supplies, but sometimes you need to shake things up a bit. So who knows maybe in the next few weeks I'll try doing something different and then again I may just continue doing the same old same old.

This was the week that my friend, Kathryn and I went to go see the Adams Family (snap snap) and we both loved it. It was pretty funny and just a good musical to see. We ended the week with my nieces first dance recital and a game or two of bowling.

Week 15
This was another fun week filled with rain, fishing, homemade banana nut bread, taking my nephew and his girlfriend's prom pictures (when did they all get so old?). And ended the week spending Saturday night with my Mom. I'm almost caught up on sharing my weeks, thank goodness. How about you, are you doing project life, are you caught up?
