project life 2014 : weeks 41 – 42

Here is my Project Life spread from October 6 -19. It has a hint of fall to it (even though we are still nearing 90 degrees daily, but let’s not go there).

I wanted to mark the season somehow, so I put a photo of our fall mantel right at the top center. The rest of the left-hand side is mostly updates on Liam. On the longer journaling card I wrote kind of an overview of the two weeks.

On the right-hand side are a few pictures from our trip to the pumpkin patch, and a few everyday photos.

I have fun making my own filler cards when needed, but I usually end up doing something super simple like this, below. I think that’s how I want my Project Life spreads to stay, and then I’ll play around more with paper and embellishments on the minibooks I do.

(As far as minibooks, I want to keep doing one for each holiday season, as well as any eventual vacations we take. I’m also going to do one for week in the life, and probably special events like Liam’s first birthday.)

The photo of Liam sleeping while sucking his thumb is one of my all-time faves.

And that’s it! Sometimes this is my only hands-on creative outlet for weeks on end, and I love that I have it.
