Project Life 2013...Week 21

Hey there.  Today I'm sharing Week 21 of my Project Life 2013.  As I'm getting caught up with my album I thought it would be fun to share a photo of my weekly sketch.  I've created a new organizing system that has helped me immensely in keeping track of photos, collected items, weekly events and more.  I'll be sharing my entire system soon in hopes that it might be helpful for you too. 

So here's this week's sketch & photos.  I have the photos all printed and ready to go....

I have 2 inserts this week.  One is shown below and another is the Summer Bucket List page I did in this post.  

Here's the two page spread without the inserts. 

The left page.  This was the first week of Summer so I loved using the little mason jar glass with the Summer theme.  

There was lots of everyday type photos, just life around the homestead. The Moore, Oklahoma tornado was big in the news and I'm always freakishly aware of the weather.  So that made my pages this week too. 

The main dated insert used most Simple Story elements from the July Gossamer Blue kits.  I added in some of the chalkboard stickers with white gel pen details, brads, stickers and enamel dots. 

 A few photos from around the yard. If you write very slow the white gel pen works great on photos.

 A journaling card noting the first day of Summer vacation for the girls.

 New kittens and a fun twist on a Week in Review card.  I changed things up and added this to the right page of my spread. Instead of writing on every photo I just listed my events in a list format with the cute ampersand puffy stickers.

 Here I had some events with multiple, small photos.  I stitched vellum strips to my journaling cards to create bands that my photos could slip behind.  I used labels from my shop with typewriter journaling and my date stamp.

This is an 8.5 x 11 horizontal insert of Josey's State Track Meet.  I captured a few fun photos and included her number that she wore while running.  

 I used a journaling card that I had in my stash to type my journaling for this page.  I added brads and arrows.

This is the back of the insert which features all of the kids that made it to State from our high school. I loved this shot of the kids so I enlarged the photo and included all the kids' names.  

 I used another 3 x 4 journaling card for typed journaling.

 Here's a shot of the inserts in between this week's regular pages.  I always try to keep my inserts smaller than 12 x 12.  This way I can see the main inserts and know that everything in between is extra stuff that went on this week.

Hope you're enjoying my Project Life pages.  Would love your feedback about what you like to read when browsing Project Life posts.  Do you like lots of photos, less photos, etc.  Thanks to all of you who leave comments here regularly.  I so appreciate the time you take to leave a comment...something I definitely need to get better about myself.
