This week was utterly chaotic for my family-- it was the week we moved! I can assure you, taking photos and thinking about Project Life was the last thing on my mind. So when sitting down to complete this week, I got a little creative--- and it was alot of fun.
First item to note is that every photo here was taken with my iPhone. During our busy week, that was all I had around-- so I used it! I enlarged the iPhone photo of the moving truck at our old house to an 8x10 and placed it on the left side. I added scraps from the wallpaper that was put up in our new home this week behind the photo. I love the combo of our old house and a part of our new house on this page-- it perfectly symbolizes this huge transition.
Since the left side was kept simple, I balanced it out by using many photos, tags, and embellishments on the right side. Still having most of my scrapbook supplies in boxes, I used all Elle's Studio tags! The Lil Snippets Tiny Labels were perfect for the journaling spots on my photos! I also enjoyed using a few of Elle's new items in this Project Life spread-- can you spot them???

What fun pictures - love the sleeping kids!
I really like that you got a photo of the house and the moving van and used it oversized. Thanks for sharing it . libbywilko
Love how you enlarged and then cut down the photo! I so feel for you with the move! Exciting but tiring- a lot of emotions. I've been a pastor's wife, so I have had a lot of moves in my lifetime. I plan to stay put for the rest of it! LOL
Another great week. I love how you balanced the simplicity of the large photo with the busyness of the opposite page.
The addition of the wallpaper is such a good idea.
Very clever including the wall paper and splitting your large pic up over multiple pockets.
Love the layouts, i really into the Project Life, this is the first year that i'm playing with and enjoying very much.
