Project Life 2017: Week 29

This was a fun week of picking the seasons fruits. I'm so blessed and thankful for what I've had access to: strawberries, blueberries, cherries, and all the produce I get from my own garden. So many people across the world don't get to enjoy these things. I'm just so thankful. Aren't all of the colors are amazing?!

Project Life 2017: Week 28

What a pretty week this was. It's so cool when God's creation shows off. Beautiful pink hydrangeas, fresh picked green beans, a green growing garden, fresh picked cucumbers, red cherries. It's just beautiful! So beautiful in fact that our first time cherry picking got its own spread.

Project Life 2017: Week 27

I made some adjustments to some templates a couple months ago and part of that was changing the color to this very dark gray. For my last two spreads, I've left the gray as is and just put my writing on it instead of backing it with papers or something. Quick and easy for the win!

Project Life 2017: Week 26

Yay! Another week in the books! 

One thing I do as back up is to upload my layouts to the website I order prints from. That way in case my computer crashes, I have another saved set of photos. So right now, I have the first half of the year being uploaded to the site. I'm a little behind on that, but I'm always glad to get caught up on it. I'm not planning on my computer crashing, but no one counts on it happening. Just a little photo storage tip from me!

Project Life 2017: Week 25

I've been missing scrapbooking lately. I had this spread almost finished, so with the time I had available to day, I was able to get it all done. It still feels good to work on it even if it's not as long as I would like. I'm in a need to catch up so I can work on other years. Hopefully I'll get to work toward that soon. It's one of my favorite creative outlets. 

Have a wonderful weekend!

Project Life 2017: Week 24

This was a busy week full of seeing friends, the zoo, and a birthday. This week actually has three spreads because of friends, the zoo, and Leah's birthday.

Leah's 10th birthday:

Project Life 2017: Week 23

Isn't that sunset picture AMAZING?! 

It's not too often that I'm able have an enlarged photo in my spreads. This photo totally needed to be showcased. The colors were amazing! I'm not a fan of purple, but when it's in nature and the sky, that's a different story.

Project Life 2017: Week 22

Here start the gardening pictures! It's always fun to see where you start, the middle where the produce is so small, and when the garden is bursting at the seams. Gardening really is witnessing miracles. We just plant and water and God makes all the rest happen.

Project Life 2017: Week 21

This was a full and pretty week as you'll soon see. Granted, most of the pictures were taken on one day at a state park, but since this is the only way I scrapbook and since the pictures are so cool, why not make a two page spread? :)

Also, this so isn't "me", but I changed my templates to square edges instead of the rounded corners that I've done for years. Normally I would make a change like that at the beginning of a year and not half way through, but I wanted to make the change now. And I'm changing a little in the font department too. I'm thankful to be able to change things as the mood warrants.

Project Life 2017: Week 20

This week is full of photos - even photos on photos. Summer temps are in full swing in my neck of the woods, but I needed a light blanket in my basement as I worked on these pages. Those out in the 89 degree heat probably don't feel any pity for me. Can't say I blame them...

Project Life 2017: Week 19

Nine out of fourteen photos in the spread are from the same day. Mother's Day and being with family called for lots of photos. I try to pick my favorites so that I'm not using gobs of photos, but this week called for a little extra. And thankfully, I'm allowed to do that. Ha!

Project Life 2017: Week 18

A birthday in the family and pretty spring blooms calls for a two page spread for this week. The flowers on the trees don't last long enough. So pretty.

Project Life 2017: Week 17

This week had a lot of pictures and journals to include, so I made it a two page spread - the first of 2017.
