Project Life 2012-Week Two

Here is my Project Life 2012 - Week Two

 This week was pretty low-key. Just ran a few errands and took Taylor to the park almost everyday. I didn't have my car on Monday and Tuesday because Trevor was using it, so I rode my bike with Taylor to get out of the house. I even rode it to Michael's on Tuesday. I had an appointment with an allergy doctor on Wednesday to finally figure out what is going on with me. I've been miserable and congested every day for two months straight! He said he'll make me all better, but I have to have testing done next week. He gave me some Nasonex and I'm happy to say, I've been able to breathe again. On Saturday, we had two birthday parties to go to! It was a fun way to end the week. Here's my left page:
I included the packaging from my nasal spray and the invitation to my cousin, Christian's birthday party. 
I included two inserts this week. I used a 6x12 page protector from Becky Higgins to hold six photos from the birthday party. Since my printer doesn't print on 12x12 paper, I had to adhere the photos to a strip of cardstock. The second insert is a 8.5x11 page protector from Office Max.
I slipped in the instructions from the allergy doctor along with my receipt. 
On the back I included a gift from my father-in-law's niece to Taylor. :)


Here is my right page: 
I included the packaging from our newest blu-rays from the Disney Movie Club, Winnie the Pooh and Dumbo, evidence of a White Chocolate Mocha from Starbucks, and a piece of scrap paper from a birthday card I made. In the bottom left pocket, I used my typewriter to list 14 things about Taylor at 14 months, which he turned on the 13th. I'm planning to do this every month. 


 What is Project Life? Project Life is developed by Becky Higgins and is a simple form of scrapbooking designed to take the guess work out of memory keeping. Her predesigned kits and page protectors work together with your photos and words to create a beautiful album that is a cinch to put together. The great thing is anyone can do this! There's no more struggling with design, coordinating papers and embellishments, or photo placement.

December Daily 2012 - Day Four

Image
 Tonight, we trimmed the tree. Trevor and I decided to do it after Taylor went to bed. As we hung his new ornament, a football he chose himself, I couldn't help but imagine what next year will be like. If he'll be able to help us or not. I'm very anxious to see Taylor's reaction tomorrow, when he sees the lights and ornaments on the tree. For the past few days, he hasn't really payed much attention to the bare tree. Here's my left page:  Testing out some lights I had from last year, which we couldn't use because half the strand was out. Here's my right page:  The finished tree. Too bad my photos don't do it justice. I gotta learn how to take better pictures of lights and ornaments on the tree.  I also included a 2x4 insert with the before tree with just the lights on the front,  and the after tree all done and loaded with ornaments, old and new. I just love it! (I apologize for my horrific nails!) Here's my Day Four spread in my

December Daily 2012 Foundation Pages

It's that time of year again! Last year I embarked on this incredible project for the first time, and I loved it! I've been looking forward to this all year, and now December is almost here! I'm finally done with my album, with the exception of the cover. Not sure what I want to do with that just yet. The foundation pages are ready to go! Every day is basically going to be a 2 page spread, like this: With some overlays thrown in here and there. Here are my foundation pages. A lot of them are super simple because the pages will really come together once the photos are added. And there you have it! Come on December! December Daily is an idea from Ali Edwards. It's a scrapbook to document every day in December leading up to Christmas. It's essentially one story a day. You can check out her 2012 December Daily here an

December Daily 2012 - Day One

Welcome to December Daily 2012. The day I've waited for all year is finally here! I enjoyed this project so much last year, and I'm ready to go again. We did a lot on this first day of December, including shopping for lights, getting the decorations down from the attic, walking around the neighborhood, and Trevor putting up the lights on the outside of the house, but the story I was most excited for was buying a real tree this year. It reminds me of my childhood. We found a really good one too! Here is the left page, one large photo of Taylor at the Tree lot:   And here is the right page:  A picture of our little family in front of our tree. :) I used a 4x6 overlay created by Ali Edwards, found here . The word tree is a digital brush by Ali, which can be purchased on Designer Digitals . Above that I used some washi tape, and Dear Lizzy letter stickers that were included in the Studio Calico December Daily kit. Here's what day one looks like in my album: One d
