Week 17 // Project Life 2018

Hi guys!

I have another Project Life spread to share with you today.  I'm still jumping over the place a bit with my weeks, and today I have week 17.

I decided to combine two half-used Studio Calico Documenter kits to work on this spread, the Bookmarked kit and the Candyland kit.  I love how easily they worked together on the one project.

I also have an insert this week, and used an Ali Edwards 3x8 pocket page.  I cut and then sealed it at the 4in vertical with my Fuse tool so that I could create 2 3x4 pockets.  You could also get the same result by cutting the two right side pockets off a regular 4 x 3in x 4in pocket page.

The insert is hard to see, but this is the full spread on the first side.

And this is the full spread on the left side.

I love hybrid title cards so much.  I've picked a cute scripty font for the week number, and a matching font for the dates of the week.  I recoloured the week number to a dark olive green to match the card behind it.  After I printed it out I stitched a border in embroidery thread for some beautiful texture, and added a puffy sticker.

So you'll notice I have a lot of natural colours coming through in my photos this week again with worn grass in one and the cement floor in another.  I've pulled these colours in with some textural elements like lace and some embroidery thread.  I added a few French knots to the centre of the flower in this filler card, and then I pulled out some lace from my stash that I dyed with a tea bath ages ago, and layered it behind a torn strip from one of the gold foil kit cards.

So grateful to get photos like these from our kids to include in our album.  How elegant to they look!?

This weekend was a getaway for us to the Gold Coast.  It was super fun and we spent time doing things like staying at the casino, eating at our favourite restaurants and shopping. I even dragged G out to the front of the casino to get that awesome photo of the tree-lined entrance.

 One little photo with Borobi, the Commonwealth Games mascot, and that finishes up this spread!

Thanks for stopping by today.
