Week 17 was a routine week without a lot of excitement. It's nice to have those every now and then, though! I didn't take nearly enough pictures. I need to get better at taking 'everyday' photos - I've made a list of photos I want to take. The good thing about not taking enough photos was that it gave me a chance to do a no-photo layout on the left side.
Full 2-page Spread:
Left Side:
For this week, I used a speech bubble card to write out some of the things that happened.
I used one of the new digital cut files from Two Peas to create this Earth Day card. It's so cute - I love it!! I've entered it into their National Scrapbooking Day Challenge #5.
Right Side: This is a page protector with 6 vertical slots from American Crafts. Check out that giant hosta plant vs the two smaller ones beside of it. The giant one gets considerably more shade during the day. They were all planted at the same time! And there were several trees with yarn around them when we went antiquing in downtown Kingsport. At first I thought it was a yarn bombing, but it ended up being part of an art installation. Pretty cool either way!
I made another card using pretty paper and a sticker.
I'll be linking up at The Mom Creative's Project Life Tuesday again.
I love reading each and every comment!
You sure had a lot to say and had a lot of colorful sections for a slow week. Keep it up!
ReplyDeletelol! It's funny how that happens sometimes, huh? And no one knows that all the pictures on the right hand side were taken on Sunday ;)
DeleteLove how you used the speech bubbles and so many cards. I always try to print more photos when I don't necessarily have them. Thanks for inspiring me to just use more journaling!
ReplyDeleteThank you!! I generally want to print more pictures too, but this week I literally didn't have any. I decided to embrace it and try more journaling. I'd like to try a completely no -photo layout one day too!
DeleteCongrats on the 10, 000 views of your blog! Cool mexican hat and just love your earth day block. the speech bubbles is a really fun idea:) I like the 6 slot page too. Sweet job! Hope you win the challenge.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the kind words, Tina! That hat is so cute - it's from a little Fiesta! sticker page I've had forever. I love how the speech bubbles turned out. I knew exactly how I wanted to make an earth day block when I saw the new digi store at Two Peas. :)
DeleteGreat pages, love the Earth Day slot :)
ReplyDeleteThanks!!
DeleteI think this is your best layout yet. LOVE it!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Robyn!! I had my doubts when I started, but I ended up like it a lot too.
DeleteYour pages are always so much fun to look at! I love the speech bubbles and yes that cut file of the globe is awesome!
ReplyDeleteKatie, that is so sweet of you to say! Thank you :)
DeleteLove the speech bubbles card! I am sort of the opposite - I always have way to many pictures to choose from. Party because I do an Instagram photo a day so I have at least 7 everyday pictures. And then some more
ReplyDeleteThanks Cat! I wish I could remember to take more pics. I'm trying!!
Deletelove the speech bubble card, great use of it
ReplyDeleteThanks Candace :)
