Welcome to another week of Project Life at Elle's Studio! How are things going with your Project Life album? Have you made some exciting discoveries about this method of documenting? Are there things you struggle with? We would love for you to share your thoughts with us!
This week's Project Life covers the week of January 16-22. There is only one word to describe this week in our household: chaos. I am sure you have weeks like this. Just as we all have normal, everyday, boring weeks, there comes those weeks that are pure craziness.
A day off of school, my father-in-law was in town for a visit, heavy work loads, my husband was out of town for a day, a field trip, sick kids, an unexpected trip to the ER-- yes, all in seven days.
Since this week was really busy, I used one of Elle's Studio "This Week Lil Snippets" on my date insert. This tag provides room for a brief overview of the entire week (or you can select one day to journal about). I usually like to include an overview of the week somewhere on my layout, and this is a perfect way to accomplish that.
As I mentioned, we had an unexpected trip to the ER this week (everything is fine now). Once things settled down a bit that evening, I snapped a few iPhone photos. At the time, I felt funny doing taking photos, but I am so glad I did. I had a few instagram photos from the evening, and I used a We R Memory Keepers 12x12 photo pocket page that holds nine 4x4 photos for these photos. I trimmed the page down to hold four 4x4 photos. I ended up being the perfect insert.
On the opposite side of the insert I included only one photo and used the rest for journaling. I had previously written a blog post about our night in the ER and used that post as my journaling portion. I decided, however, to handwrite the journaling instead of printing it out on the paper. There are times I like to handwrite, and times I like to print, but this particular story I wanted in my own writing.
I included a few favorite quotes from the week on the journaling cards. I also included a journaling card written by my husband (I also love seeing his handwriting in our Project Life book).
Congrats to Melissa, the winner of last weeks giveaway! Please send an email to info@shopellesstudio.com with the following information.

Fabulous, love seeing your weekly round up!
Love your week's spread. First year for me to do PL and I am really enjoying it.
I love seeing your PL! It gives me so much inspiration as this is my 1st year doing one!
Wonderful that you are getting your husband to participate in Project Life.
Wonderful pages! Love the insert w four ice, might have to do that!
Thanks for sharing....it looks awesome!
Gorgeous PL pages! I am always inspired and never have enough Elle's!
GReat PL pages!
Each week I look forward seeing another week come together so much fun. I am about to finish up my week so I can share. Can't believe we are a mth in already!
I love looking at the pictures of your PL! My favorite page protector this week has been the 9 4x4 sheet from We R Memory Keepers!
I really like how bold you are about taking photos and then including them in your album. And I really like the envelope you included.

So nice!
Great layout this week!
Thanks for the inspiration and also for the reminder to take the picture, even when it seems uncomfortable to do so. I have had so many photo regrets over the years and not one of them involved a photo I actually took, just all the ones I missed. Thanks for offering the fun prize!
You remind me how fleeting time is..so much happens that we don't even realize or appreciate or remember.
This looks awesome! I love all the little details...

I'm gearing up to project life my February and love the inspiration.
Love seeing your pages every week! Thanks for the inspiration!
♥ the inspiration and ideas on how to document important but scary things (like trips to the ER) in Project Life.
Wonderful, love all the journaling you do. Such a great chronicle of life!
Keep up the great work! Your little journal tags are absolutely perfect for helping to document Project Life. Seeing your album every week is making me think I can actually do this project myself! :)
Wow! What a week you had. Love the products. :)
Still loving this but had the stomach flu over the wknd so behind already. That's life as you said but didn't expect to happen so soon. :) I really enjoy your pages!
Congrats to Melissa!
Love seeing your PL. It's helping me stay focused!
as always, very inspiring, thank you!
I lobe how chock full of life these layouts are. It brings a whole new layer of meaning to project life...
Your pages are gorgeous!
I really struggle with taking a variety of photos to help tell the story. It seems all of mine are pretty much the same- my two kiddos smiling faces.
Thanks for all the wonderful inspiration!
That was some week! Thanks for the inspiration!

I love seeing your project life posts...wish I had time to do one of these :)
looks great! Still loving how you use so many different kinds of letter stickers on yours--need to give that a try
Love this, Jenni!
i love seeing your products in action. I only recently discovered Elle's Studio. I placed an order and I am in love with your goodies!
Thanks for the great ideas. I think I'll try cutting up a page as an insert - didn't think to do that!
I love the extra inserts you used. I'm going to try that this week ...
Even through a chaotic week, I'm glad you got your week documented! Looks like lots of great stories, and of course the Elle's Studio products look like they really help out! Thanks for sharing!
I'm so inspired to take more everyday pictures and scrap our daily lives! Thanks so much for the inspiration!
I love seeing what others are doing with PL. I just started mine Jan. 1 and it has been really fun capturing daily events in our lives. My kids have even gotten into taking photos of everything from our dog to dinner to each other! Great to pass the camera around and get different perspectives! Thanks for sharing!!
