documenting the everyday | project life

It’s been months (almost a year!) since I’ve done anything project life related. As sad as it is, I guess life just happens and I didn’t have time to document it. But I really missed it. The creative process, the finished pages capturing our daily life. I love going through the old pages with kids and bringing the memories back. The time has come and I set a goal for myself to get back to memory keeping.

My friend Harmony has decided to jump back into the creative life as well so we support each other this way. I really admire her determination as she is catching up with old spreads. I don’t think I will be able time-wise to go back and finish all the missing pages. For now I’m happy with just capturing the right now.

I’ve started fresh last week with the start of summer. Here is my first double spread capturing the last two weeks (well, two weekends to be exact).

I’ve been a huge fan of Liz’s work (also known as) Paislee Press for years. I love the look of her minimalistic designs and have been using her digital products since my early years of digital scrapbooking. My favorite paper project life kit is also from her – Midnight sun (the yellow and black filler cards). Lately I love using her digital templates which are easy to use and look amazing while printed out. I love that I can put several photos into one 4×6 inch photograph in seconds, print it out and be done with it. And the best part is that those can be used over and over again.

I also used old stash of cards from various sources (Studio Calico kits), printed out out some digital cards etc. I’ve fallen in love with acrylic stamps lately;  I think the once used on this spread are by Elise and Kelly.

I’m really hoping that this time I will stick with it and continue documenting our everyday.
