What happened this week? It was a long week of waiting. I choose not to use an assortment of photos and focus instead on two big things - I hit my due date and Paul came home.

Anything special in the spread? I printed 2 iPhone photos 12x12 and cropped the photos to fit into the pockets. I left an empty space on each to add a journaling card.

Techniques this week : You can see how I print photos 12x12 for cropping on a home printer in this video.

Overall thoughts : Love this spread. Love that I finally had an event in 2013 worthy of the full page photo. Love that it's done and in the books.

Ratio of iPhone photos to "real camera" photos : 2 to 0.

Plwk24detail

Ratio of photos taken by Elise to photos taken by Paul : 1 to 1. (Paul took that arm stretched out one. And actually my mom took the "ripe" one.)

Supplies used : Seafoam core kit.

Tools used : Design A pocket pages, Fiskars corner rounder, Zig Millenium pen, Rotatrim paper trimmer, Office Depot date stamp, staz-on ink. All photos were printed at home on my HP Photosmart 2575 printer on Office Depot semi-gloss photo paper.

Project Life is a memory-keeping system created by Becky Higgins. I use photos, text and stuff to document our life weekly. You can see all the posts from 2012 here and 2013 here. Do you have a question about how I am tackling this project (including anything about the photos)? Check here.

My name is Elise Blaha Cripe. I live in San Diego, California with my husband and our two young daughters.

I make stuff like it's my job.

In 2015 I launched GET TO WORK BOOK®, a daily planner + goal-setting journal. In October 2019, my book about getting stuff done, Big Dreams, Daily Joys hit bookstores everywhere. For almost ten years, this blog was where I shared (daily!) general life musings, insight into being a small business owner and the occasional craft project. I have closed comments, but feel free to email me at elise[@]gettoworkbook.com if you have any questions about a post you see here.

If you're new here, I invite you to browse the archives, read my small business story or start with some of my favorite things to write about, DIY home decor & goal-setting. You can also listen to my motivational speech about the power of making bold statements.
