{Project Life: Week 6: Snow Snow Snow}

Another week, another Project life spread. Only this week, instead of my usual sin­gle page pro­tec­tor, I have 3 page protectors!

The first page pro­tec­tors is a Design C style page. The free chalk­board print­a­bles came from herehere and here.

This week two fac­tors changed how this spread looks. One, I am run­ning low on my favorite 8.5 by 11 inch paper, so I decided to pull out this 12 by 12 paper I have in my stash. The beauty of this paper is that it is dou­ble sided– so I can print pho­tos on both sides of the paper (which makes the album less bulkier). After I printed the 12 by 12 inch page, I real­ized I loved the way it looked as is. Two, I usu­ally start work­ing on my page on Sun­day after­noon, but this week I started look­ing for pho­tos only on Mon­day after­noon. So I had to speed up this process– choose pho­tos, print them, add jour­nal­ing and pho­to­graph the final spread– all in that more pre­cious than gold 75 mins of nap/quiet time. So I finally chose to not cut them it into 4 by 6 cards and insert them into an actual Design C page. I instead used a sim­ple 12 by 12 page pro­tec­tor here. Sim­ple and quick.

For the sec­ond page spread, I used pho­tos we took yes­ter­day about the “snow day” we had. Fun fun fun pho­tos!

The Clas­si­fi­ca­tion cute print­able came from an older free print­able of mine (It’s all girly). The I heart you card came from my last weeks Valen­tine themed free print­able. The “Photo of the week” card came from a free print­able I had a few weeks ago (The week– in color).

Feels really really nice to have processed, printed and scrapped pho­tos I took just yes­ter­day and have them in an album already.

I use this paper by Canon- which is sim­ply amaz­ing!!! It is a matte paper and has the look and feel of card­stock. This printer/paper combo is the main rea­son Project Life is work­ing for me this year. I am also using this new cor­ner rounder by Fiskars.
My album and page pro­tec­tors, I got at Tar­get and are the We R mem­ory keep­ers brand. I am try­ing to main­tain a con­sis­tant jour­nal­ing font this time, and am using Hel­vetica Neue. I do all my dig­i­tal pro­cess­ing in Adobe Photoshop Cs5.

  1. I really like the chalk­board print­a­bles (thanks for shar­ing!) and LOVE the one 12x12 page. It really makes for a nice coun­ter­point to the divided page on the other side.

      Awww thanks for your sweet words Sue!! And every­body else too :)

  8. I LOVE LOVE the chalk­board print­a­bles. The large pic­ture of them play­ing in the snow is so cute.

  9. Love your spreads this week. The large snow pic­ture is so beautiful!

  10. I love your pages! The big pic­ture with the jour­nal­ing on it is great!

  11. Have you received your PL book back from the printer yet. I would love it if you would post a cou­ple of pics of the fin­ished prod­uct. I am work­ing on my first PL book (dig­i­tally) and won­der­ing about the spac­ing near the spine of the hard­bound book. I want to make sure I am leav­ing enough room for the page to “bend” toward the cen­ter with­out cut­ting off the pics.

    Thanks so much. Your pages are gorgeous!
