Project Life...week of February 13th
This week showed us dropping my dad off at the airport and Valentine's Day. I had a little collection of papers and die cut stickers with a love theme so I thought I would make good use of my stash for this week. The two page layouts and insert pages all use little snippets from this Bo Bunny collection. Below is my two page spread with a 8.5 x 11 horizontal insert page.
Here's the left side of my spread.
And the right side of my spread.
For the main top left insert, I added a piece of patterned paper with decorative edges along with some sticker letters. I used Lisa Truesdell's awesome *stitch over the stickers* technique so that my letters stay secure. By the way, Lisa does PL and you can view her pages here at her blog.
Here's a few journaling card inserts. I dolled them up with cardstock stickers, patterned paper with machine stitching and a trimmed down business card. I like to use my Tiny Tim stapler to attach small items.
Here I used more patterned paper and cardstock stickers + typewriter journaling + a die cut #4 from Papertrey.
More scrappy goodness. If you want to type on stickers just feed the whole sheet through your typewriter before removing the sticker.
I got a new iPhone during this week and thought it was fun to add this old time rotary phone sticker. Oh how the times have changed right? I remember having a 20' cord on the phone so that my brothers and I could take the phones to our rooms and talk in privacy. We also had a party line when I was little. Anyone else?
Just a little embellishing on the edge of the page.
Here's the back side of that 8.5 x 11 insert page. Tucked inside are marker drawings that Jordy and I doodled, receipts, etc.
I used a square die cut sticker that I attached to a larger square of patterned paper as an accent. It also acts as a flap that keeps all the papers in an orderly fashion. I stitch or staple just the top to the background page.
And that wraps up this week's Project Life. I've got one more page spread to show you from my past weeks and then I'll be more caught up on the updating. Stay tuned during the Papertrey release this month...I've got something fun planned for a Project Life week. :) And thank you for all the nice comments on my card yesterday too.

Here is an 8.5 x 11 insert page that has a collage of photos of the girls decorating giant cookies. Again, I like to take lots of photos so these collages are a great way to group them all together without adding a lot of extra layouts.

Your Projects as beautiful as usual and thanks for sharing with us your Project Life, something caught my attention was that beautiful and touching Picture of the sisters, that kiss looks so cute and full of LOVE, it really touched me and made me think of my sister that I haven't seen in like 3 years. Thanks so much for sharing, made me tear up a little...
