More Project Life! I’m trying to get caught up with posting so bear with me. This is the week that Liam was born, so it all revolves around that plus settling in to maternity leave. This spread took me the longest to complete, mostly because I had to narrow down soooo many pictures, but it was still pretty quick. Here is the full thing below, without the inserts: And here it is with them: Left hand side (the photos are pretty self-explanatory): That gold heart sticker is actually what they use for babies to keep the monitor on them in the hospital. The lactation consultant gave it to Meredith when she visited us so it’s pretty perfect. Even though I…

Here we go, first real spread of this year! This might not be exactly representative of the way the album will look from here on out, because I printed the photos before Liam was born and before I had nailed down the aesthetic for the album.

I’m done with my 2013 album! I have to say, even though I’m still like 9 weeks behind, I feel way better about this project now. Okay, so this spread was December 23 – 31. I had photos from Christmas, New Year’s Eve, and a wedding we went to. All my other photos from this time went in the holiday minibook. I was really just trying to get this done and somehow include everything. I kept the journaling cards neutral because of how many photos there were. I actually had an insert too for all the family pics we took on Christmas. I had one extra that I just had to put in, and I wanted to keep all the…
