2012 Project Life | Week 23

20120619-IMG_6589_600

I spent the whole weekend re-organizing my craft studio, so I didn't have time to catch up on Project Life Week 23 or 24.  I had the photos printed though, and last night I spent about 2 hours finishing up Week 23.  I loved how easy my new workflow is with my supplies organized.  I'm in the process of developing my blog post for my craft studio re-organization.  :)

For Project Life this week there was confetti vellum pocket sewing...

Stamping with some new stamps and inks...

And a couple of month-in-review collages (I hadn’t done April’s yet, so I did them at the same time.)

Week 23

Left side - We visited my good friend Sally and her new baby twins.  Lots of random Instagram photos.

Week 23 title slot.  Just some stamping, cutting, punching, Thickers numbers, Tiny Type alphas, and washi tape.

I journaled about the random collage of Instagram photos below.  I picked out too many photos for this week so my solution was just putting some of those Instagram photos onto a 4x6 collage.  I don't mind that none of the photos have anything to do with each other.  I like that they're different snippets of life.

I had an extra 3x4 pocket so I put my sewn confetti pocket in there.  I really like how that looks. :)

Me and Sal.  I stamped the frame and "hello friend" on white cardstock, then I punched it out with a scalloped square punch and adhered it right onto the photo.

Right side - Todd made blueberry cupcakes; Todd had lunch with some of the ladies at his work who had babies; Noodle sleeping on his perch; and Todd and his coworkers went on a coffee run.

Used a 4x6 tag from Elle's Studio.

A stamped grid journal card, along with washi tape and a veneer star.  The bird + life is good stamp is from the $1 bin at Michaels.  The right journal card is from a SMASH pad.

My cute cat Noodle.  I stamped the "hello" speech bubble and cut it out and adhered it to the photo.

The left journal card is from Elle's Studio again.  The journal card on the right is a grid card stamped and colored in.  Stamp from $1 bin at Michaels again.

And since it was the end of the month, I created my 8.5x11 Month-In-Review collage and bullet list write up.  They are based on my Month In Review blog posts.  Here's the front of the collage in the 8.5x11 page protector.

And here's the back.  More collage photos and bullet-list journaling.

That's it for my Week 23!  It took me about three hours from picking out photos and finishing up.  How are you doing on your Project Life journey?

My Whole Weekend…

Consists of turning this

into this
20120617-IMG_6561_600

Everything was re-arranged and many items were purged.  Now everything in there is stuff I love.  And all the contents in the cubicles have been re-done so that it fits with my brain and crafting work flow.

I realize the “after” shot is because I’m not actually in the middle of a project.  But the beauty of my new organization system is that it’ll be easy to clean up too.  I will be sharing more later in an organization blog post later this week or maybe next week.  I was totally inspired by Julie Balzer’s “Organization Week” posts on her blog.  So you can check that out in the mean time!  :)
