Project Life : Week One

Project Life, here we go! While I was stuck inside on Monday due to the frigid Polar Vortex nonsense, I spent a few hours putting together Week 1. I'm happy with how it came out, and although it took a good chunk of time, I can see how the processes I'm setting up now will reduce the time I spend on my weekly spreads as we move through the year.

PS - Check out the HOMEMADE custom Harry Potter Monopoly game that Mark made me for Christmas!! He used the instructions here and here in case you are wondering (though he modified it a little to add in the Common Rooms instead of the "Utilities" that were there before). In our first game this weekend, I lost miserably, but was able to buy the Ravenclaw common room (my House) and it thrilled me to no end.

Items used: Midnight Edition Core Kit, Photo Pocket Pages variety pack, Thickers, Elise Cripe's quote cards, printable calendar via Oh The Lovely Things (resized in Photoshop to fit pockets), Anthropologie "Best Year Yet" birthday coupon from 2013, cheap gold ribbon, Smash date stamp, star sequins, Canon Selphy printer, Wacom tablet, Sharpie Pens.

Custom Touches: I resized the freebie calendar from Oh The Lovely Things in Photoshop to fit in the 3x4" pocket. The weekly title was printed on a card from the Midnight kit using this technique/guide from The Lilypad. The One Little Word/"Story" card was created using my Wacom tablet for the handwriting and printed with my laser printer.
