I'm excited to share with you Week One of 2012! I definitely liked doing a "weekly" layout verses a picture-a-day + journaling. I am using Becky Higgin's Project Life Cobalt Kit, along with Design A (for the most part) page protectors and We R Memory Keepers album.
For this week I decided to see how I liked the look of a white border around my photos. I liked it and it was easy enough to print from iPhoto. I also used a journaling card from Paislee Press. I changed the color and word, and it was simple enough that I will definitely use again. Left Side:
First Insert: I decided to make a copy of my Erin Condren planner to give an overview of the month. Not sure if I will keep it...more than likely I'll decide at the end of the month if it is something I will continue to add.
Basketball games started for the boys this week, so I put an insert of my favorite photo from their games and stitched the protector to size (Digital brush can be found here):
And the other side (Digital brush can be found here):
I used Ali Edward's new 6x12 template for my next insert. It tells the story of sharing my Project Life + School Kit last week.
Other side is the email I received from Becky, along with a photo from 2005 that I had of myself with Becky and Ali.
And the last page. I used a journaling card template from Cathy Zielske and highlighted each family member's week. I liked doing that and it was easy to write 2 or 3 sentences for each person. I also used another journaling card from Paislee Press.
It feels good to have the week done. I spent way too much time messing around with it, but I'm happy with the results. I know each week won't be as intensive!
I'll be sharing what I've done with the Becky Higgin's protectors and my Christmas album in the next few days.
