Project Life 2015 Week 1

I wanted to post my project life pages on the blog weekly but was a little behind getting some pictures printed to finish some layouts so although it is almost March, I am ready to show you some layouts. 

My layouts are pretty basic compared to many seen on the internet. There are a few reasons for that. First, I think it is more important that I try to stay as current as possible so that I do not fall too far behind and get discouraged. Also, I am helping beginners get started on project life and I like them to be able to see how easy it is and that it does not need to be time consuming. It literally takes me longer to upload my pictures to walgreens than it does to put my pages together. 

My title page for 2015. 

 The plan was for a family picture to go in the bottom left spot but since we have yet to get everyone together to get one, it will probably more than likely remain how it is. 

Week 1

My title page and week 1 layout uses mostly cards from BH Favorite things.  One of the things that I am really trying to get past this year is worrying about my handwriting. I hate my handwriting but if I have to computer journal or even type everything it will never get done. I did use the typewriter on the weekly little tags and plan to use it more.

Project Life update.

Project Life 

If you have been to my blog around the beginning of the year, you know I had intentions to do a Project Life album.  I don't know about you but I always have good intentions to do something (especially around the beginning of a new year) that don't always work out.  I took some pictures here and there but not regularly (with the exception of Disney and I have too many from that, lol) Anyway, here it is the beginning of April and I have not done ANYTHING with project life except upload some pictures from my phone to my computer. Notice I didn't say to be printed but at least they made it to my computer right?  Well that is about to change. With the introduction of Stampin' Up!'s This and That line, it made my renew my goal of completing a project life album this year.  At the moment I am not using all SU products, that may change when I see what all they have in the new IBC, but for now I am using a mixture of SU and a project life core kit. The kit I bought came with an album and it's cute but I prefer the crumb cake linen album I bought from SU for it so I am keeping it for this years album.  I am using the project life protectors as well as the SU divided page protectors because they give me some different layout options so I won't get bored with the same layout over and over.  And the new Rotary Stamp from Stampin' Up! will work wonderfully with this project!!!  The kit arrived in the mail yesterday and after the boys track meet I opened it and got busy uploading my photos to Walmart but that has been it so far.  The photos will get picked up this evening and I hope to show you all a cute layout or two by tomorrow evening! 

Geico

No, I haven't switched car insurance and I am not trying to talk you into it. I was sitting on the couch the other day watching tv while my darling little dd played with her toys on the floor. My dh sees her playing and gets up, walks over to her and a few minutes later I look over to see this.....



Apparently the mister potato head eyeballs reminded him of the Geico commercials with the money, lol. As soon as I saw it I burst out laughing and knew I had to get a picture of that to use as my 365 Days project picture. I really do need to quit saying 365 days project since I really didn't start it until Feb 1st instead of Jan 1st.
