Project Life Week 8

Week 8 of Project Life
and it is still going strong...
this week I changed up my design a bit..
still the same amount of elements
just viewing it differently not to get too bored with  the look.
Here is my 2 page layout.
 

For the first page I placed my journaling pocket on the top sideways.. so you still can pull out all the
bits of extras in there.. I have my journaling for the week and some extra photo's with my weekly
collage photo and journaling on the backs of those.. The flair i got here.. from my friend Sasha Farina
she is on vacation so check back for her beautiful flair collections.



The stamps I used this week are from Unity Stamp Company.. those lovely flowers are one of the images I made in this February KOM.  the other stamps are Ali Edwards,
and some from Kelly Purkey.
 

The Chevron patterned papers are my design.. I have a dream...haha yet another to
come out with my own papers.. and I just love chevron.. love these bold colours too.
I might need to open a digital shop with my papers , once I figure it all out. haha



 
So here we are another week.. lots of fun playing with these images, stamps, photo's.. I love PL.

Project Life Weeks 5-7

WOW.. I can't believe I have not posted these weeks.. with my daughter being so sick on week 5 I was up to date but just couldn't find the time to take photo's.. so this is what I did today.. got all my
weeks done, journaling typed and took photo's of all three weeks.. not I am up to date and I am
just loving my Project Life.. and how it is turning out.
 
I know I usually do most of my stamping with Unity.. but with so
many wonderful stamps for this one project I thought I would
indulge and purchase some non Unity stamps.. I know
crazy... but I am being adventurous..haha
 
so here is Week 5
a week of sickness, doctors appointments, and more sickness.
 


that typewriter stamp is one of my new stamps in the February KOM.. I love it!!
okay so a little Unity.. it is hard..


 
Week 6
I was able to help out at Crop & Create for this weekend and got to meet
Kelly Purkey.. I helped her in 2 of her classes.. she is so wonderful,
 


 
 
Now Week 7
all up to date.. woo hoo!!
More Kelly Purkey Bright Idea stamps, KI memories  (click click flashback) stamps
 



 
UK-618A-OUR-LOVE-SHINES
 
there ya go.. 3 weeks.. let's see if I can keep up.. but for now at least I am still on top of it.
One day at a time...
 
happy day.

whatever you would like..
 We have a colour challenge.. the inspirational photo choices
