intentional living, little by little

{recording life} Project Life: Week Eight

I had so much fun sharing my Project Life album a couple of weeks ago that I thought I would do it again!  I can’t promise this will be a weekly feature, but I hope it can serve as inspiration for an easy way to record all of those family memories.  So without further ado, week eight: 

This week was mostly about our snow days.  I took a LOT of pictures! 

Close up of the left side.  I devoted the whole page to Sunday’s snowstorm and all the fun the boys had outside. 

Right side.  These were just a few random shots taken the rest of the week.  I made little love notes for each boy from the 3×4″ journaling cards with something sweet they said that week.  I really like how they turned out and I think I’ll be writing more sentimental notes to them soon. 

These are the inserts from the week.  I took a We R Memory Keepers page protector that had 6 horizontal 4×6″ spots and cut off the bottom row.  That left 8 spaces for more snow pictures!  Behind that is a picture M created and then dictated the story to me.

One last story from the week was one that I’ll probably share on the blog soon.  I used a 12×12″ page protector to keep a special piece of artwork made by the boys and glued the pictures right on top. 

I love that Project Life can be anything you want it to be.  Lots of pictures, lots of artwork, lots of journaling and memories…it’s all up to you!  Be sure to check out The Mom Creative for lots of PL inspiration!

    Such great photos. I love them! There is nothing quite like playing in the snow for some good pictures. My favorite PL layout so far is the week we had snow and I got a ton of snow pictures. Love your snow pictures!

    What a GREAT idea. I haven't visited in a while and I have been meaning to! SO busy recently (sickness, TEETHING, etc).

    How are you?!

    Cheers.

    Thanks Wendy! The stickers I used for their names is from Doodlebug Designs and are called Doodle Twine stickers! I ordered them around Christmas, so I'm not sure if they're still in stock, but I love the look!
