Project Life March

Finally able to share my Project Life pages for March.  I've had them done for a bit but didn't have time to post them.  Wanted to share them on "National Scrapbook Day", BUT I got a message from Blogger saying I was out of picture space.  Boo.  Now I'm paying to post.  Wasn't expected.  Oh well, now I can get back on track & share.

This is technically the end of February & the beginning of March.  I've been using a lot of my Instagram pics so one weeks worth of pics can fit in one sheet protector.  There might be weeks where I use more 4x6 pics & will have 2 page spreads, but for now I like this.  It's been very quick to get done, when I don't over think the LO's. ;)

This week had a lot of pics to include so it had a few insert pages.  This is how they look stacked together.  Can't tell here but in the book they are staggered & fun to flip through.

The first insert is a simple 6x12 protector with the program of Gianna's music show slipped in.  Nothing fancy, and I'm okay with that.

The next starts off my birthday celebration.  I had a variety of pics I wanted to include so I used a 3 photo 4x6 protector page, mixing both Instagram shots & 4x6.  Fun to create.

And seriously, I can not tell you how much fun I'm having digging through my stash & re-discovering things I bought long ago and FINALLY USING THEM!!  Rub-ons, stickers, buttons, STAMPS!  You name it!  Then of course, there's my new favorite, the Silhouette Cameo.  It's a dream to play with! 

This was a 4x4 page protector that holds 9 pics.  I trimmed it down to just 3 pics (spaces) & using washi tape to "seal" the trimmed edge & punching holes onto the edge.  I saw that on THIS BLOG & loved the idea for "creating" your own pages.

Used another 3 4x6 page protector for this. Simple.

I don't think I can make a page without washi or Silhouette shapes anymore.  They just add "something" fun/special to the page. 

See the circle in the top corner pic?  I just used a small circle punch to punch a circle then used a slightly larger circle punch to create the circle, so I can highlight Gianna in the pic.  She blended in with all the Girl Scouts & I wanted to make sure we could see her.

Here's another stack of inserts for this week.  I think the inserts are super fun to add to the album!

Gianna made me this card at school, & I just slipped it into a page protector that I trimmed to size & sealed with washi, backed it with some green paper & was done.  This was as "St. Patty's Day" that we get around here....

Next is my 12x12 insert.  Yes this is March 12 & I have it behind the insert for St. Patty's Day on the 17th.  Just did it that way since it looks better stacked in the album.  I fully plan on doing all my 12on12 photos this way.  I just need to go back & re-do the one for January since I did it in an accordion journal insert.  This suits me better.

More Instagram, Silhouette shapes & washi. ;)

Added a screen shot from my Facebook wall too.  Some days the pics tend to look the same so this was a nice change.

Another insert but with a lot more pics & mostly 4x6 pics (some trimmed to 4x4).  We celebrated my niece's 16th birthday & I had a lot of fun with the Silhouette on this.  I made my own shapes for the "Sweet Sixteen" & "Sweet 16". I need a lot more practice but I really like how they came out! ;)

 So there is March, in the books.  I have a TON of pics for April.  Just Disney alone will take me awhile to get through.  My biggest problem is I tend to "over-think" the pages.  I've got the month started but life is pretty busy around here right now, so it'll come together.  I refuse to get discouraged in the project.  Little by little it will get done & I will eventually get caught up. ;)
