Project Life....week 6 !!!!!

Hello Project Life!! WOW, can you believe it's week 6 already?? Seriously, I've been doing this mini version that long already, how awesome. These pages took a little time to figure out due to the heavy load of photos to fit in. What also thru me off was having that Day in the Life page ending on the right side so I didn't know at first how to start off the week. After some playing around and digging thru some old inserts this is what I came up with and I LOVE IT!! One new thing you see here is the 6x12 insert with the hearts on it, I will be doing this now to start each month off, no more running the months together in one week like before. I kinda like the idea of each month seperate this time. Just had to trim this cute heart die cut down to fit and put a title on it, how simple but awesome! Now on to the inside pages.
Here is the first page.... weekly date card, Sam's new card trick, still can't figure out how he does it. See the number 10 card, I had that all year in my core kit and never knew what to use it for. This was finally just what I needed to go with Sam's card trick photo, YES!! Lots of pink/reds going on for Valentine month, going with a theme all month long. LOVE THIS! Look at Lucky getting lots of love!
Here is the left side and the front of an old insert. We had Renee's birthday on Saturday and I wanted lots of photos. I went back to my favorites and did some 4x6 and 4x6 COLLAGE photos. It was sooooo nice to use this size again, not going to lie. Was super awesome not to crop all these photos but just slide them in and be done. Notice the use of my cut outs from Linda, love having these to play with. Also added some tiny text letters, a heart clip from the dollar bin at Target. I enjoyed filling up each pocket this time, telling each story and loving these so much. I told you it was a photo heavy week, so thankful that I have these photos and memories. Ready for more?!!
Here is the back of the insert... more birthday photos. I will have to do a birthday post sometime this week, it was a great day except that Sam got another flu virus again. On the left side is the last page for the week, it's mine and hubby's awesome date we had. Going to the Home and Garden Show has been on my list for 16 years and finally we got to go. I wanted to include as much as I could here. Squeezed in little mini collages I cut down to size. Some paper inserts and journaling about our day on the back of that first card. Will be doing a post about this day too, probably in a 2 post series since there is lots of photos. I'm so happy this weeks pages worked out for me. They are making me so happy and ready to move on to this weeks pages. Thanks for stopping by and for your awesome comments. Stay warm or/and cool wherever you live.

  1. Dawn your week 6 is wonderful and you got so many photos in there. I love all the different sizes and the collages. I have a couple of those playing cards and like you I have found them hard to use. The 6x12 heart die cut is perfect and a great idea.

  9. I am loving all the reds and pinks you've used this week Dawn, especially that playing card! It has had me stumped with what to do with it too ;) Great idea to break the months up, and your diecut title page is lovely. You've done really well with your photos again this week, and have managed to include so many memories!
