Project Life : Week 13

Keeping up with Project Life can be challenging sometimes but I do put in a couple of days every fortnight to edit, print and complete a week or two worth of our life in the year.

Week 13 is the week my lil' man turned 1 and that is just amazing. I cannot imagine where the time went! It was an incredible year for all 3 of us, a lot of adjusting, getting to know you and lots of love.

 I like to keep my cards fairly simple but still embellished. 

As you can see, I focus more on journalling :)

Do you Project Life as well? What motivates you and what slows you down when keeping up to date with your pages?

Share your thoughts! I would love to hear from you.

Project Life : Week 6

I had actually printed out the photos for week 6 quite some time ago and even took out the PP to match them but somehow I just didn't seem to get down to completing it! I just seemed to keep procrastinating and then my mum arrived and (of course) more procrastinating I had to keep her company and hence delayed completing my PL... haha

Week 6 : Left page

Week 6 : Right page

I am glad that I did manage to complete it and still keep my mum company :) Am attempting to complete Week 8 now. So far, so good :) It was a good thing I did jot down my daily activities in a little moleskine the last couple of weeks. I should continue doing that so that I can remember what took place should I fall behind again.

Project Life Week 5

I procrastinated in finishing my Week 5 eventhough I have decided on the layout and the cards to go into each divider... haha.... I don't know why. Maybe I was feeling a little tired from the 3rd trimester, maybe I was just not too inspired... but oh well, the good thing is, I've completed it! yeay!!!

This week's pages are a little plain and simple cos I wasn't really in the mood to scrap. I've seen some crafters who makes really beautiful packed PL and I sometimes wonder how they do it... haha... layered, stitched, with flairs/brads, etc...

Let's see what Week 6 brings... but whatever the case is, I think we must always remember why we are doing Project Life. To document our life. Embellishments are great but it's the memories that's greater :) So, to others who feels 'pressured' looking at really beautiful pages by other 'Project lifers', just chill and document your life the way you want it... :D

Week 4

How time flies.... it was only just the beginning of the new year and now, January is coming to an end. Moving on to Week 5 of the year already and I haven't accomplished some of the things I wanted to get done.. :P

Here's my Week 4 pages. I am still trying to figure out how to take pictures of my PL pages clearly without the plastic shine... sigh.. if you know how, kindly share. Currently photographing them indoors. Probably need to try outdoors soon....

And some close ups :)

Feeling a little under the weather now.... tired and stuffy nose. Think I'm going to just sleep the day away, snuggling with my darling Penny :D

Project Life 2013 ... Week 1 & 2

So, I decided to join the many wonderful ladies out there on the Project Life train this year. I ordered 3 different types of page protectors so that I can jazz things up if and when I want to :) 

 Will be using the 6x12 page protectors for dividing up the months.... I realized I can't put embellishments that are too bulky. Unlike scrapbook pages, these page protectors doesn't seem to be able to 'withstand' the bulk... haha...

I am using my existing patterned paper stash from my Studio Calico monthly kits and some of my 6x6 paper pads...

I kinda like softer colors and will continue to hunt for pastel colored patterned papers from now on :) Loving banners and washi tapes too.

Spending time in Vegas with Penny (mostly..) as hubby needs to go to work.

I love how hubby is so energetic and tries to bring me around on Friday night before we leave Vegas on Saturday. And on Sunday, he drove me to Anaheim to meet Amy. I really appreciate him for that as I know he was still tired from the drive on Saturday (and he still has work to do...). It's so wonderful to meet Amy after knowing her for years online. She is so sweet and she even got our baby some gifts! What a blessing! I am super grateful :D

Things I made...

I have been quiet on the blog front but I have not stopped crafting! :) I was busy completing my first December Daily and then I decided to start Project Life this year. It's going to be an interesting year, with the arrival of our firstborn in March.

I was also completing a couple of album covers. I have a 8.5x11" and a 6x8" album that I have not decorated and I decided to beautify them. 

This is the cover of the 8.5x11" album. I was using it to document places we go for our walks but I guess it can be for anything now... hehe...

This is the cover of the SN@P album I bought during 2Peas Black Friday sale. I think it's a good deal. I love the size and quality of the page protectors. It's definitely a brand that I will look out for when I want albums of this size. I can't wait for their new page protectors to be out too.... to be honest, I love the Design A layout from Becky Higgins but I don't really like the quality of their plastic. So far, the best page protectors I've tried are those from Recollection, SN@P and WRMK. 

My December Daily! This year's theme is mostly kraft. I will go more colourful next year! :D
