Project Life 2013, Week 3 :: January 8 - 20

Ah, Project Life, I love you.
Another week in the books. I printed the pictures up a few days ago and spent a lovely hour this Saturday afternoon stuffing them into pockets and doing my journaling. No inserts this week either, so it went together quickly. Of note, I exclusively used the digital Olive kit this week and I have to say, I am quite smitten with it. When it was first announced, I wasn’t sure that I would like the colors and patterns in this kit. When it was released to digital several weeks ago (and on sale) I went ahead and snatched it up, and I have to say, I really like how it looks in my album. The colors are so soft and beautiful.
Almost done with #projectlife week 3 using the olive kit. I wasn't sure what I thought about this kit but I really like how this week is coming together!
The other thing of note that was a first for me this week: I used photoshop to place my smaller photos – those I would have glued onto a journaling card – directly onto the JPG digi files and printed them as one piece of paper. I loved this! A timesaver as far as cutting down both the journaling cards AND the photos and then gluing them. I’ll be trying this trick again.
Anyway, on to this week.

  • N2 working on a lapbook on the earth.
  • N1 getting a little creative time when the boy took an extra long nap one afternoon. (Those naps are becoming more rare!)
  • a longer journaling card about a breakfast that I went to on Saturday
  • we LOVE the train table at the bookstore

I just can’t get over how much I like the Olive kit. I’ll be going to this one more often, that’s for sure.
