Project Life | May 2013

           Our family has been in full swing and overbooked with social and school engagements the last few weeks - wheeeew...  it's been fun, but I'm ready for a little breather!  I have to say, posting on the blog has suffered because of this!!!  I have finished thru August in my digital Project Life...  even though I haven't posted it all - so hang on - I'll catch up over the next week or so.

          So let's take a look at May 2013:

          This week was a whirlwind of activity with a baseball homerun derby and awards, Mother's Day event at Sunshine House, and an exciting playdate (Figure 1).  I wanted to use bright fun colors to show how much fun they had...  I made my own title card using some striped paper and a digital stamp.  Something else that I have tried to sprinkle throughout our Project Life are some of the art that the kids and I have created.  This week, I have the invitations that Annabelle and I created for her birthday party, and my crazy (but fun!) painted footprints that we made at the Mother's Day event.  So glad I could capture this!

          For Week 20 I bought the digital version of Honey PL by Becky Higgins - I love, love, love the colors!  In addition, I had some cut files that worked out great as filler cards (Figure 2).  These faces make every second of time I spend on our scrapbook memories worth it!

          The next week was also full of birthday fun, a splash with friends in the pool, and football practice.  I created some of the filler cards - like Figure 3 - using the shape tool in Photoshop and repeating the 3.  Also added a white arrow shape to a digital paper and clipped it onto the bottom right-hand box to provide some journaling space.

          In Figure 4, the final week of May captures the beginning of our VBS, the little ones meeting their teachers' for next year, and a few creations (canvas and lipgloss!).  It never ceases to amaze me how technology impacts our lives - just having my iPhone available all the time allows me to capture unique memories such as this photo of Annabelle getting a massage.  Awesome!

          Hope this inspires you to take more photos and capture your memories today!!
