I decided I was going to finish pages in whatever order was easiest, so you’ll be seeing my catch-up pages here out of order for sure. The April pages covered our trip to New Orleans and didn’t need too much work to complete.
I added the photo of the horse and carriage to the calendar card since that just epitomizes New Orleans for me. I love the Paislee Press template for six photos which was perfect for the shots of the street performers. The bottom left photo is of most of the family at the Jackson Brewery and is another Paislee Press template. The rest are Tracy Larsen’s. I made the journaling card from our guide for the Garden District tour’s business card and a couple of Jolee stickers.
The reason for our trip was our niece’s wedding. I didn’t take my big camera to the wedding, so there aren’t many good photos. The first three are from the amazing rehearsal dinner at Randy’s parents’ home. The wedding photos were taken at the reception, a gorgeous restaurant set into the trees along a river. I included one of many little items from the wedding on one of the journaling cards.
I’ve got so many projects going right now, it’s hard to figure out what to do next! I’m taking a class that meets three days a week at the University of Rochester which requires quite a bit of reading, working on the Project Life catch-up, trying to get a few cards made, trying to maintain my workout schedule, and am enrolled in Liz Steel’s newest Sketching Now class. My volunteer commitments don’t start for another week, so I’m trying to make good use of my time now. I’m hoping blogging won’t go by the wayside.
You certainly make the most of every day and I think it shows, with PL pages packed with the pleasures of a busy life.
Great pages – you make very good use of the varying photo & pocket sizes. Looking forward to hearing more about your university course. I know what you mean about it being too humid to sit outside – I cannot believe we had 40+ (c) temperatures – this summer is certainly a record breaking year. Be well.
Oh no – your blogging mustn’t fall by the wayside! (Says me.)
I enjoyed the look at New Orleans. I was meant to visit some years ago but the hurricane flooding around that time put paid to the plan, sadly.
Your pages are beautiful and always a treat Karen!
I am very interested in hearing more about that class with Liz!
How exciting!! You rock!!
I hope your blogging does continue! Your posts are always interesting.
Your pages are really lovely, I use Tracy Larson templates quite a bit. I have recently lost my mojo for scrapbooking although I do have all the photos sorted ready to print.
Your pages look great! Good idea to finish them up in the order that works best for you as you catch up.
I’ve got lots going now, too, as I’m moving into my new craft room, preparing for several upcoming classes that I’m teaching, beginning three customer scrapbook-for-hire projects, and planning our holiday trips.
I just love looking at your project life pages – I like your use of six little photos from time to time …
