Project Life® 2024 | Week 17

In this post I'm sharing a look at Week 17 in my 2024 Project Life® album. 

This is the same week as I documented Week In The Life™ this year. My goal in this spread, along with simply getting some stories told, was to play with some of the larger die cuts that were included in the April Stories By The Month™ kit. 

Let's dive in to the process video: 

Here's a look at the spread via images: 

This was a fun one to put together. 

As I looked back at all the photos I took during Week In The LIfe™ to figure out which ones to add to this spread I simply picked a few that I felt represented the week/the season as a whole. I knew I didn't need to write a lot so I decided to write from today (end of June) with a looking back perspective (most of the time when I add stories to Project Life I'm writing with a present day perspective). 

I used a tab sticker from the April kit to create a flip up on top of one of my photos. I used a long reach stapler to get into that spot. 

On top of three of my 4x6 photos I adhered the long tag strips and then ran it through my sewing machine. 

To play with some of the larger die cut tags I created a new shape by printing a similar sized photo, taping the back of the die cut + my photo, and then backing it with white cardstock before adhering it to one of the vellum 4x6 cards. I added gold brads and a gold label sticker to repeat the gold on the vellum flip up. 

I used the 1/2 circle "the story" die cut pieces to create journal cards with the 4x6 vellum (cut in half). You can print directly on the vellum or you can print on a transpareny and add it on top of the vellum. I ran it through the sewing machine a couple times to add the yellow stitching along the top. On the other side of these I'll repeat this same shape (I did that on Week 16 - I put together Week 17 before 16 this time). 

I cut up the "looks like this" card and turned that into a tab added to one of my photos. I added a photo onto the "today was" tag and a little strip from another 4x6 card to the bottom. 

It feels so good to have some space to fill in the pockets again!
