Project Life

Welcome to another week of Project Life here at Elle's Studio!  This week's Project Life covers the week of January 23-29, which is week 4 of Project Life.

I included three inserts this week (yes three!) because there were many photos and momentos to share and document.   Here is the full spread of week 4:

Once again I used the 4x3 Vintage Calendar tag for my title spot.  I love how the tag has a spot for journaling-- it's a perfect place to give an overview of the week.

We had a joint birthday party for our kids this week, so the first insert is the birthday invitation.  The invitation was a 5x7 card so it fit perfectly in a 5x7 page protector.

The back of the invitation was a bandana print, which went perfectly with my color scheme for this week's Project Life.  The only thing I added was a journaling card from the Collected Note Tags and a bit of washi tape.

The second insert is a photo collage of this kids at the birthday party.  It used a photo sleeve by We R Memory Keepers which hold nine 3.5 x 2.6 items (about the size of an instax).  I used wallet photos but I had to trim the photos to fit the sleeve.  I love how simple it is yet provides a great overview of the birthday party.

On the back side I used a piece of pattern paper (one of my favorites from American Crafts Dear Lizzy Neapolitan line), and trimmed it into the same size as the photos.  At first I was planning to fill the whole back page with more party photos, but I decided that would make it really busy.  So I used paper instead with a simple tag as a focal point.

My third insert was my daughters preschool Parent/Teacher evaluation.  I thought her teacher's comments were so sweet and a wonderful representation of who Jordan is at this particular age.

My final page included more journaling, a part of a bandana (since this was the party's theme), and some photos of our trip through Super Bowl Village (a perk to living in this year's Super Bowl city:).

I don't always include inserts every week-- much of it depends on the type of week we have had.  I do feel inserts are a great item to add from time to time.  School papers, photo collages, newspaper clippings, invitations, and cards are all great items to include within your Project Life week.
