First of all, do any fellow Blogger users find that their photos look much duller when posting to Blogger than they do in Photoshop or Flickr? I'm getting annoyed that all of the photos I've been posting on my blog lately look desaturated and cloudy. The dandelions should be sunshine yellow and "Slainte" spelled out in Thickers should be bright lime green. Blergh.
Anywho, here is another Project Life combo spread for March 3rd through March 17th featuring a seasonally-appropriate color scheme of green and yellow-- though spring had decidedly NOT sprung yet, as we had single-digit temps and 4" of fresh snowfall. When I first started working on this spread, I almost panicked about my new format for the weekly title card since I didn't know how to modify it to represent two weeks. But these things aren't worth stressing about, and I simply decided to list the date ranges for both weeks.
I had a few events this week where I was enjoying the moment too much to stop and take pictures, so I ended up pulling a few of these photos from the internets. I used Flickr's Creative Commons search tool to find some general high-resolution photos, and I also used Facebook to download some family photos from our St. Patrick's Day celebration. That picture of my mother-in-law (bottom right) in all her ridiculous St. Paddy's accessories makes me laugh every time I look at it.
Items used: Photo Pocket Pages variety pack, Dear Lizzy Polka Dot Party mini kit, generic black ink pad, Canon Selphy printer, Sharpie pen, Smash date stamp, green Thickers (similar), Paislee Press Pictures & Words No. 9 digital templates, and a small "Simply Happy" pad of 3x4" journaling cards from Target by We R Memory Keepers (looks like this).
Custom Touches: Like previous months, the calendar card came from Oh The Lovely Things and was scaled down to fit the 3x4" pocket in Photoshop. The glittery shamrock was given to me by my grandma.
Oh, how I love your breakfast date pocket. I always love the writing on a white background and always think how I should make use of it (and rarely do). Love your week. And I just realised now that the beauty of using those week title cards is that I can totally change it to two weeks in one without much change in consistency. Woo hoo.
