Project Life 2012 | Week Twenty-Seven

Welcome to Project Life 2012 | Week Twenty-Seven.

As life evolves around here I'm working to find that sweet-spot for including my story and our story (me + the kids) in Project Life.

I'm in a really good place right now. I'm happy and feeling alive in ways that have been dormant for a long time. I want to include pieces of that in this album along with documenting what's happening with Simon and Anna and our summer adventures. I'm finding space here for all those roles and all those stories, even if it's just touching the surface. What it really makes me want to do is create layouts that tell more of the story (working on making that happen).

Here's a look at week Twenty-Seven:

This was the week of the 4th of July and my weekend adventure to Portland with friends.

I used one of my Circles Of Life digital brushes on my 4th of July photo before printing.

Little banner on the bottom left photo is from Basic Grey's new Paper Cottage chipboard collection (super cute).

    I love the simple titles directly on the photos. And the photos themselves, of course.

    I've been including a lot of 8.5 x 11 traditional pages as inserts to my weeks to get more story in. Those pages are usually really word focused.

    P.S. Have you had a chance to check out the Project Life Challenge Series on the Big Picture Classes Blog yet? http://www.bigpictureclasses.com/blog/cat/54/challenges/.html

    One of the best parts of PL for me is the fact that I am able to capture the small snippits of a story that I then can go back and tell more completely in a layout. It's almost like my "notes" for the full layouts I like to do!

      I agree! It's like a chronlogical library that we can draw from for other layouts, projects.
