project life 2014 : september.

EliseCripeOCTdetail

I am taking a less traditional approach to Project Life in 2014. Often that means not many layouts, just one or two a month. I've said this every month too, but it's a busy season (year?) for me and so I'm doing what I can.

This month I used the Studio Calico's The Underground Project Life kit and went heavy on the photos (all iPhone this month).

Eight photos on each page and then columns of handwritten journaling talking about our transition to daycare this month.

I love how the columns turned out - this was a much better way to incorporate a story than I thought it would be.

The journaling cards didn't complement the "theme" I was going for perfectly, so I just altered them a bit (blacking out some with pen and adding "Ellerie" over the word "Autumn"). I loved the date stamp card and used that as inspiration to cover my photos with the correct dates.

Thank you so much for following along. See my title page for this album here and 2014 album progress here.

Supplies : Studio Calico The Underground kit, Project Life Design A pocket page, date stamp, stazon ink, zig Millennium pen, gray AC slickwriter.

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. In 2021, I am sharing again as we prepare to move back home to Northern California and renovate our dream cottage. 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.

Still looking for more content? Listen to my creative podcast, take one of my eCourses or subscribe to my newsletter.

Thank you so much for dropping by.
