Project Life....Week in Review Inserts

Project Life fans, here's a little something you might want to consider adding to your weekly layouts. Some time ago I started filling the blank journaling card insert with a "week in review" insert. Since there are 8 journaling smaller journaling slots, there's one slot left over for the week. It's the perfect place to add a bullet type list of events you might want to jot down. Events that don't need/or you don't have a photo for but that complete your week. I absolutely love looking back and seeing how busy our weeks always were.

Here's some specific samples I compiled for today's post. I highlight these in each blog post but I think you'll get the bigger picture when you see them here in one post. It's another fun way to make a little calendar of sorts for this small insert. Tip: Refer to your calendar and make your bullet list on a sticky note....then stick it right in your Project Life album for reference. Then you can just write or type out the list.

I hand write or use typewriter journaling for my week in review. Here I used a Bic Markits marker and my handwriting. I drew little boxes that I checked off.
Here I used a Bic Markits in yellow + my vintage typewriter.
Here on the left I used an October Afternoon sticker along with a typewriter list.
On the right I used *on the menu* because this week was all about handmade/homemade things. The small sticky note from Cavallini was stitched on after I ran it through my typewriter.
Tags are a great way to highlight the week. Here I used a white tag from my Etsy shop.
More typewriter journaling on a Russel & Hazel sticky note + a few snippets of wrapping paper from a present.
Another handwritten list along with a gray Bic Markits. I also added some stitched on embellishments to a Project Life journaling card.
This week I added a tag from a kit item and used my Bic Markits.
On the right card I used my date stamp to stamp several dates and then hand wrote the events below the date. Patterned paper and Washi tape embellish the side of the journaling card.
And lastly I used 2 Studio Calico sticky notes that I ran through my typewriter. I used some some alphabet stamps for the "on the calendar". I stitched around the sticky notes with my sewing machine.
And there ya have it. A little something fun you might want to try. Perfect timing since we're just starting a new year of Project Life.

One last tip: Take a photo of your actual weekly/monthly calendar. I've done this and it really shows just how busy our lives are.
