{Project Life: Week 9: Uh-Oh}

Uh oh, indeed.

Our lit­tle one says that over and over all day long. In the cutest pos­si­ble way, that will make you smile no mat­ter what she has done.

And it was the apt word of the week for Week 9.

That fri­day was sup­posed to be our fun day, and my dar­ling hus­band had taken the day off. But — I fell ill.

Uh oh.

I was sick to my stom­ach and exhausted. I threw up all day long. With both my daugh­ter’ preg­nan­cies I was nau­se­aous from day 1 to day 150. So the first thought my hus­band and I had was ‘are we pregnant?’

Uh oh.

Our ques­tion was answered in great haste, when the next morn­ing at 4am the baby threw up. All over the the bed. And all over me. Uh oh. Atleast we arent preg­nant. Phew!

The whole week­end was then a be sick: do laun­dry, repeat cycle. Our older one wasnt hit as badly as me and the baby, but her tummy was bad too.

All in all, what­ever the bug was, it lasted 48 hours and we all snug­gled in and got some much needed down time.

End of story.

Now lets get back to this weeks spread. Here is how it looks…

The right hand page is a 12 by 12 Design G like page pro­tec­tor that came in this We R Mem­ory Keep­ers Multi Pack. It has a funny 2 inch long strip, which became a beau­ti­ful way to add a pop of color to this spread.

Lots of kraft, black and white this week. Kraft papers were by Pink Paislee (they are no longer sell­ing dig­i­tal prod­ucts) and some absolutely fun B&W PL cards by Ange Designs (pin here). I also used my Word of the week card and the That’s what she said card in here.

National Craft Month got a men­tion in the spread this week too.
I did a lit­tle bit of let­ter­press­ing using the Fuse with this and this die. A very light tone on tone inking.

Things that I reached for for this spread: Glit­ter thick­ers, my favorite black pen and the Tiny attacher.

Things I did dif­fer­ently this week: I kept a lot of white space on this spread. Not because I didn’t have enough pho­tos, I actu­ally nixed two extra pho­tos, but because I wanted to tell a sim­ple story this week. Not clut­ter it with too many details.

Things I loved on this spread: Lots of hand­writ­ing + the teal/aqua color + the let­ter­press­ing. I am a sucker for pressed paper

Things that worked for me on this spread: After last weeks “Pur­ple” craze, I wanted very lit­tle color on this spread (under­stand­able, right?) and I wanted this spread to be easy/quick to com­plete. So no lay­er­ing of paper, no tiny embell­ish­ments. Sim­ple pho­tos + journaling.

Which leads me to this weeks free­bie, the grid jour­nal­ing cards. I am obsessed with these cards and since I wasn’t able to buy or find what I wanted– I sat down and made them for myself in Photoshop.

And I am shar­ing them with you

I for­got to take a photo of a blank grid card, but here is how it looks with writ­ing over it. You get the idea right

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.
