Project Life: August-September 2015

It’s been almost four months since I completed a Project Life page. When I started back at it again this week, I was happily surprised to fall right back into the pleasure of reliving our lives through documenting them. I started a new album with these pages. I don’t worry about doing one album a year. Whenever the album feels full enough, I move on to a new one. Several months ago, I ordered The Everyday Edition of Project Life from the Becky Higgins site, and ordered this album which I love.

It came with a plastic “page protector” with a lovely printed quote.

August was a quick page after many, many pages for July documenting our trip to the Canadian Rockies. I used two cards from Simply Stories “Sunshine and Happiness” set.

September was Skylar’s fourth birthday, and so there had to be a page to document her wonderful birthday party. I found some perfect patterned papers and a sheet of stickers by Reminisce called “Cowgirl”last fall that took care of all the embellishment.

The second page documents a couple other photos from the party, the Fall Fest at Skylar and Ella’s school, and the end of the 2015 Summertime Photography Scavenger Hunt. I chose six of my favorite photos from the hunt, including the hardest one to find (three flags on a flagpole). 

Here’s a look at the two-page spread.

As always, I used Tracy Larsen’s Simply White templates as well as templates from Paislee Press Pocket Guide #1 and All the Stripes. I used some black and white Washi tape to create two more embellishments to carry the stripes through the layout. I’m glad to be back at it again, and hope to keep going although we’ll soon have a house full of company so it won’t be easy to keep on track.
