Project Life 2012 | Week Twenty-Two

Welcome to Project Life 2012 | Week Twenty-Two.

Sometimes I find that it's fun to mix this project up a bit. Last week I decided to focus on taking a photo of some sort of food I was eating each day. You could do this same thing with shoes, drinks, self-portraits, songs, etc.

Here's a look at this past week:

Before printing I added a Days Of The Week Outline Banner to each photo.

Not a lot of writing and no photos of Anna - that's just how it goes some weeks (and I wanted to focus on food photos - that's her breakfast on Tuesday).

The "Heart Summer" banner on the top left photo is from the Summer Outline Banners set. The vertical writing on top of the photo of me is from Hello Sun.

Every other week I've used the weekly cards in that top left spot from the Clementine core kit. This week I mixed it up by putting a photo there instead - I cut out the part of the Clementine card I'd already stamped the date on and just adhered it on top of the photo.

The first tag in the middle row is from Jenni Bowlin's Vintage Printed Tags set.

Happy to be caught up again with the album back down on the counter in the kitchen.

    I like this idea. It would be interesting to do the same thing during different seasons to see what stays the same and what changes.

    I love this! I haven't taken a single picture this week. Nothing! I almost feel like I'm a little burned out right now. Hoping I get my project life mojo back soon.

    Looking at yours usually inspires me so I'm hoping I get it back soon.

      ...i was thinking that at some point, i'm not going to want to do a week...and that's totally okay. Don't feel guilty. Just pick up when you're ready. In the scheme of life, it won't matter later on. ; )

    Awesome week of photos there! The photos all show a variety of unique textures the foods all have... It looks so fantastic together! I like the different perspectives you've used for each picture as well... They aren't all taken from the same angle and distance. Just LOVE! :) :)

    I recognized the cereal you photographed. One of our new favorites, too! My 3 year old and I love those Quaker Oats Squares cereals.

    Loving all the food pics you posted...I'm soooo behind for almost 6 months, because I was waiting for the pages to come in. I have the pics and the stories but haven't had the chance to print them besides that my baby won't sleep if I'm not with him *sigh* but I'll catch up eventually. The busiest part for me will be to edit/crop my pics in Photoshop...Thanks for the inspiratiion Ali.

    I love the idea of using the date strip on top of a photo. I haven't been using the date cards because I didn't want to use up a space that I could fill with a photo, but sometimes I feel a bit lost about which week it is. Sometimes it is the simplest solutions that escape me. I'll chalk this one up to me over complicating things.
