Project Life 2017 - Week 12

Good morning Bloglanders

I hope you are having a wonderful week!! Yesterday the 100 day Project started. OK, I didn't Google it, I didn't sign up for it but that's me. I live by my own rules. I decided that I would finish 1 thing every day for 100 days and I'm not aiming for perfection, everything above 50% will count as a success.

Currently, I'll be finishing PL pages - recent and even unfinished ones from past years. We will see .............

Yesterday, I finished half of Week 12. Actually, since I took this photo and filed the project away, I finished the second page as well. 2/100 for me! Let me show you my PL page:

My cats, daughter-in-law's birthday bash and what we did, saw and experienced. For the middle picture of my son's cat, I used a screenshot from Instagram. His account is private therefore I couldn't just copy but I still wanted to document what's happening in Wednesday's life. (Wednesday is their cat and my only "grandchild"). I LOVE having it as part of my spread.

Currently week 12's first half is next to a Art Journal page. It was not supposed to be like that as I like having the whole week in one view but it looked so good that I decided to keep it as is.

I'll tell you all about my art journaling in my next post. It's a hybrid between art journaling, faithbooking and a gratitude journal. Just check back and all will be revealed. (I've used the brush strokes to hide my personal journaling, Sorry!!)

And another pic:

The flair and label is from Kelly Purkey's shop and the paper from Studio Calico's Citrus Twist. It's my ALL time favorite paper pack.

I think Project Life is much easier if you stick to a recipe. I normally print my journaling (Word doc, office paper) but I do love to add handwritten notes here and there. I make my own tiny alphas in Silhouette as well as a week number. Normally I use a date label from one of Kelly Purkey's label stamps but if all else fails, I will use what I have on my desk. This one is from Elle's Studio - "Love You More!"

That's it. I feel good about finishing projects. Now, I have to get to the office but I'll surely fit in some crafting time when my admin is done. Have a GREAT Wednesday and please come back to play.

PS. I'm submitting my page to the SimonSaysStamp Wednesday Challenge - ANYTHING GOES. Hop over and see what goes in the rest of Blogland.

Daybook for Project Life album.

Hello Bloglanders

I've been very, very busy but don't think that I didn't get to my crafts - I just did not get to taking the pics to show. And that's why I blog ........................ to record what I do and to share with those who love to craft. In 90 days my son is getting married and I have 8 bridesmaid's dresses to make - all in black!! Wish me luck!! On a more positive note .......................... my Daybook for Project Life:

Remember him?

When we go away for a weekend I like to make a Daybook to record the weather, menu and activities. Since I started PL in 2011, I adapted the size to fit into a 6 x 4 PL page protector pocket.

Here you can see the inside pages:

I bought the little "weather stamp" from Citrus Twist - just love it. It is great to record the daily weather. Best part of the little Daybook is that all the journaling were already done when I got home and I only added pictures to complete a double page spread.

If you want to see the rest of my PL mini books, here is the link. Also, to the right of my blog header is a Quick Link - "PL Mini's" where you can get hold of the rest.

That's it from me. Back to the Black Bridesmaid's dresses!! I'll be back. In the meantime, have fun and remember to try something new.

Bye

Hazel
