Project Life 2012 | Week Thirteen + A Project Life Giveaway
Welcome to Project Life 2012 | Week Thirteen.
Hello vacation week. Specifically hello Disneyland week.
To tackle our vacation within Project Life I decided to just pick seven photos for the week. There's a ton of different ways I could have approached this (including adding in a bunch of inserts to include more photos and words). I actually liked the challenge of choosing just seven photos. I went with one from each day - one that I love for one reason or another. I'm definitely going to do some other sort of album/photobook to document the complete trip - not sure on that format yet - I'll most likely tackle that after Week In The Life.
I'm also participating in a big Project Life giveaway today - more details are available at the bottom of my post. Please note that because these items ship directly from Amazon.com that this giveaway is open only to US residents.
Here's a look at Week Thirteen:
For the journaling I used my For The Love Of Days Journal Cards die cut with the Silhouette. I decided to just hit the basic highlights with my journaling here - I'll go more in-depth in the main album/photobook I create.
The "love" frame is from 4x6 Sentiment. The "This Is Awesome" is from This One.
Can't seem to get enough of those glitter letter stickers from American Crafts.
For The Love Of Days Journal Cards. Edges rounded with the Corner Chomper.
Here's a look at the For The Love of Days Journal Cards after they have been traced using the Silhouette software.
You can watch a simple video about tracing PNG files with Silhouette Studio here.
Since there are eight 3x4 slots I decided to include on additional photo.
The "Great Adventures" sticker is from the Miss Caroline line from My Minds Eye. Still loving those Happy Days Wood Banners.
I used the For The Love Of Life Journal Cards and cut it on the Silhouette using vellum. The "I heart today" is from my I Heart Stories set. Photo was stitched onto the vellum using my sewing machine.
I'm feeling totally satisfied with this treatment of our trip in this album. Really like how the journal cards came out and I like the simplicity of the week. I'm sure I would of liked it if I added in more photos too, but I like that this hits the highlights.

Your blog inspires me in so many ways. Loved the PL approach to Disney. I did a Disney album two years ago after our trip to Disney world, but I'd like to do individual books for my boys. Fingers crossed to win the cobalt edition--really want to give PL a try!

I so want a Silhouette. Maybe if I won the PL kit then I could justify it. I really would like to capture the day to day of this year as I have a senior & junior in high school this year. They are participating in so many activities together this year. Such a magical time. LOVE my life.

Ali, I love how you challenged yourself to just pick seven photos, it's so hard but kind of forces you to pick the special shots.
Beautifully done.
Thanks for the chance to win the cobalt kit!!

Your jounaling cards look amazing!
I'd like to continue doing Project Life because it has totally simplified my memories keeping and made it doable. Even my two year old toddler enjoys seeing our family album and asks to see "the book" when he sees it on the table. I'd like to start his own album.
Thank you do much for hosting this giveaway.

I would love to win this kit to start documenting in a more effective way to prepare for the birth of my first child and documenting memories of our family as it grows!

Love that you included some photos of Disney but are still going to do something with the whole trip separate. I tend to think one or the other but not both!

Ali, I love the way you tackled your Spring Break for this week - looking at it, you seemed to pick perfect highlight photos to compliment your journaling. I like this idea, as it keeps big trips with lots of photos still manageable! You have other photos to do other things with, but your week is covered perfectly by this layout. Perfect inspiration, thank you!

I think those "For the Love of Life" and "For the Love of Days" journal cards are great. I don't do much scrapbooking but think they would be great on cards and in altered books too!
