Project Life 2014 | week 1

Twelve weeks into 2014, and I’m so glad that I’m finally getting around to sharing my Project Life spreads with you guys. Better late than never, right?

Week of: 1 January to 5 January 2014

What happened this week: We celebrated the New Year, along with lots of other random activities, including lots of good food (one of our favorites!).

Left-hand side:

Techniques used: I created my own weekly title cards in Microsoft Powerpoint and printed it on white cardstock. Then I stamped the dates with my Amy Tangerine roller date stamp to finish it off. I also ran several of the journaling cards through the printer for my journaling.

Those gold thickers are from American Crafts, and the “Celebrate” glitter card is from Mambi. Splashes of glitter for the New Year!

Right-hand side:

Rather ironically, I made a mistake on that journaling card with this quote by Neil Gaiman. The last line didn’t get printed, and you can see how I filled in the last sentence with a black pen in my own writing. But ah, we live and learn.

Thoughts: I’m enjoying the combination of handwriting and typed journaling. I’m currently behind by several weeks, but this process has been so much fun and I’m slowly getting caught up.

Stay tuned – more updates to come!
