It's week thirty-five and I love this project.

Week of : August 26 - September 1.
What happened this week? We were home. My friend Melanie came to visit. Friday afternoon I flew to Las Vegas to celebrate a friend and came home Saturday afternoon. Paul and Ellerie hung out here and Paul sent me text photos of the girl.
Anything special in the spread? I was super low on photos this week. Super low. It happens. Into the 3x4 pockets went fun decorative cards and a few short stories on journaling cards.
Techniques this week : I wanted to share something about the plush butterfly E has become obsessed with. I deliberately took a photo of it on the black and white striped rug, knowing that the stripes would be the perfect place to add journaling.
Overall thoughts : I much prefer having tons of photos to choose from instead of scrambling for seven. ;)
Ratio of iPhone photos to "real camera" photos : 3 to 4.
Supplies used : Seafoam core kit, Midnight core kit, Kelly Purkey badge and 3x4 cards, Martha Stewart and Avery Label.
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.
