Project Life 2014 | week 6

Week of: 3 February to 9 February 2014

What happened this week: Ran several errands this week, sent a friend off to National Service, and attended the Air Force Family Day.

Techniques: Besides including instax photos, I tried several “new” things –  including a trimmed Project Life Design C page protector as an insert for all my extra 4×6 photos, stamping on my photos with Brilliance ink, and saving memorabilia in the form of our Family Day passes.

Here’s the full spread with the front of the insert:

And the back of the insert:

I used grey washi tape to seal the pocket with our passes so they wouldn’t slip out, and used my Tiny Attacher to staple an October Afternoon die cut label to the insert.

Thoughts: I was a little nervous about stamping on my photos at first because I was afraid the ink would smear. But Brilliance ink did a really nice job. Just give everything a little bit of time to dry. Since it worked, I actually really love the look of stamping on my photos and will definitely do it again. It fills up the white space in photos very nicely.

I also used quite a bit of kraft (from Maya Road)  on several pockets to bring the whole spread altogether. Again, I love using coordinating papers from one collection to help the spread come together in a snap!

This was such a fun week and I’m so glad that I have memories recorded!
