Project Life Week 9

Welcome to Project Life Week 9!

Not a lot happened this week, and when I was going through my photos I didn't think I would have enough for a 2 page spread. When I opened my file, I had already filled in 5 spots last week as I finished up week 8, I was really grateful for that, and I would have forgotten to include those items if they weren't already there.



 Here's What Happened this week:

  • Stayed up late Saturday night to finish a school project that was over due! Oops!
  • Booked my flight to brazil! It feels so much more real now that its booked.
  • Made some business cards for myself
  • Signed up for the colour me rad run a couple weeks ago and forgot to include it, but better late then never! 
  • And also started another book, "The Storyteller" by Jodi Picoult, it was amazing, I would recommend anyone read it!

Project Life Weeks 5-6

Welcome to project life weeks 5&6! I got a little behind, but I am now all caught up, and that's all thanks to digital! If this was paper, I would definitely still be behind! I am loving going digital more and more every week. 

Some things I changed recently: I added a white boarder around each photo, I think it's a little cleaner this way, and a little more cohesive. See my previous posts to see how I did it before. I have now changed those layouts in my book, to keep it all consistent! 

*** Also Disclaimer, the spread below shows the Canadian flag as a marijuana leaf, I in no way endorse this, or take part in those kinds of activities, one of my favorite singers just so happens to sing about it a lot and included it in his concert, and that's the only picture I have with his name and the stage.***

Here's the spread:

 Here's what happened:

  • Went to chapters for research: the best kind of research: DESIGN! I had to get some inspiration for both my magazine assignment and book assignment! 
  • The Eric Church concert was the highlight of the week basically!
  • The next week was valentines day
  • Also the canadian government discontinued the penny! 
  • I created a new logo for myself
  • And one of my favorite pictures: Calgary at night, from the space station! Seriously how cool! (I got that pic from twitter, I am following Commander Hadfield, who is a Canadian astronaut on the space station right now, and he posts some really cool stuff! If you would like to follow him CLICK HERE!)

Project Life Week 4

Project Life week 4 complete! I am finding it really easy this year to get the spreads done, and quickly. I edit all my photos and convert them to CMYK and 300dpi for printing purposes, and then just drag and drop them all in the template. Then I add text and embellishments etc. It is SO EASY! I don't have to worry about printing, and then cutting and assembling, once it's done it's done! I love not having to spend so much time on this anymore, but still get the same result!

Here's what happened this week:

  • I know the photo of my mouth is a little obnoxious, but it was a big deal. After dealing with over 6 months of dentist appointments, my root canal is finally finished! And I can have a normal smile again!
  • I also got a haircut this week! Hence the 4 photos of me in a row! 
  • Me and Nevan celebrated our 1-year on thursday the 24th, we went out for dinner and just spent time together. 
  • Also included is the song I am loving right now, "Some Nights" by Fun. 
I would love to see other project life pages! So please share a link if you can!

Project Life Week 2-3

Another week crossed off the list! These two weeks were pretty slow, and when I went to download pictures there really wasn't a lot to work with, so I decided to just combine them rather then force the content over 2 pages for each week!

I am really liking playing with different layouts each week, and mixing it up a little bit. I am excited to include some full page photos as the year progresses. I just have to find the right "photos"!

Here are the photos:


Highlights of the week(s):

  • It snowed over 12 inches on thursday, and I didn't wear boots. That quote I included is from twitter. 
  • Went to see Les Miserables, and really didn't enjoy it. I know I know, everyone loves it! But I only like select musicals, and this one was a little too much for me. 
  • I also made DELICIOUS Loaded Baked Potato soup, which Erinn literally couldn't eat enough of.

Thanks for stopping by! If you are doing project life too please leave a link to your blog, I would love to see what everyone else is doing!!

Project Life: Week 1

Here is Project life week 1:


So I decided to change my format. I was struggling with the 8.5x11 size. Nothing was fitting properly, nothing looked right, and I was already resenting the project. HUGE FAIL. So I switched it up. I am now doing a 12x12 album, I got all the templates from Becky's site, and made them my own in InDesign. Then I placed all my pictures and journaling, and VOILA! Week One-out the window.

Spread One:


Spread Two:


What happened this week:

  • Went to Banff for the weekend with Nevan, where we took photos (of course!) and went snow tubing, on a gondola ride, and visited the Hot Springs. 
  • Made some new years resolutions, or goals, or things I want to do more of really, and less eating. 
And that's about it. Banff was the highlight, and without it this week would have been basically nothing. I am already enjoying the digital side of this, being able to make whatever elements I want, and arrange and rearrange, and type everything and make it pretty! I think I'm going to like this project a lot this year.
