It’s been a few days since I’ve had time to make any progress on my Project Life pages. I’ve switched gears a bit, and am working on getting all the photos printed for the last four months I need to do to catch up. I’m hoping by this time next week, I’ll be done. Meanwhile, I do have photos for the November layouts, so it’s time to start sharing again.
I rarely do a page with all black and white photos, but I love how this came out. Most of these photos were taken in the hospital by a professional photographer, and we have both color and black and white versions. I converted the rest to black and white, and used Papertrey Ink’s new Mini Market Kit and Monthly Moments stamps and dies to embellish the page. I love the pink and gray with the black and white photos.
Tracy gave me a three month subscription to the project life kit at Cocoa Daisy a year or so ago, and I still had this card from one of the kits. The letter stickers are from Hobby Lobby, and the little bird is from Wee Folk. This photo of Betsy and Ella is one of my faves.
It’s not often that both my kids are here for Thanksgiving, but thanks to Ella’s arrival, Sarah, Adam and Caleb arrived from Chicago to spend a long weekend.
We spent a lot of time at Matt and Betsy’s taking turns holding the precious baby!
It’s hard to tell, but the die cut on the Paislee Press journaling card (Simon Says Stitched Circles) and the die cuts here (Paper Smooches) are cut from a bronze metallic paper and have a beautiful shimmer to them.
I always enjoy seeing your Project Life pages, Karen, and the black and white page with baby Ella is adorable. So cute! Thanks for all of the sweet comments you leave on my blog, and also for the lovely birthday card you sent me. I so appreciate your friendship, Karen! xo
Such beautiful pictures of Ella.
Those black and white pictures are so lovely with the embellishments you have chosen.
Lovely to see such happy family photos…the ones of baby Ella are gorgeous! Xx
Love the black and pink and grey – such a dreamy “baby” combination! Ella definitely made the rounds.
Yippee for getting more pages caught up. And such beautiful photos with the new wee one!!
Lovely pages of a lovely month!
I so enjoyed your Thanksgiving; thanks for sharing. Lovely spreads and what a treat to have a new baby in the family.
Congrats on making significant progress with your PL; what’s your secret beyond just “biting the bullet and jumping in?”
Cheers~
Oh what pretty colours with those black and white photos – such precious memories too. I always think a baby is the best reason to get the family together. Well done on getting more pages done.
