Happy Friday everyone! I am sharing Week 39 in my yearly
album today. It was a week packed with activities, stories, aqua and pink. I
had so much fun playing with the November PL and PL Embellishment kits!
My left page focused on things happening at home: a note about my boys
being morning people, my new ironing routine for my oldest son's school
uniforms, play time, collecting baby girl clothing and a note about
stray socks.
The right side was about what happened outside: visits to a local nature
center (aren't the floral and butterfly patterns perfect for these
outdoor photos?), my 20 week anatomy scan, family breakfast at a
favorite diner and a sweet quote from my oldest about his baby
sister-to-be.
I absolutely loved this frame pattern in the Polka Dot Party collection and wanted to maximize its impact
by using it for my weekly date card. I simply used my craft knife to cut
out the inside of several of the frames and added other snips of
patterns from the 6x6 pad and a glassine pocket of sequins to the back.
Then, layered the kit washi tape on a few other openings, stamped my
dates on a label and tucked that partially inside another frame. The
finish was the 39 using the fun, glittery Thickers from the PL
Embellishment kit.
The 1/2/3 exclusive wood veneers were a super fun inclusion and I
wanted to make them stand out. This week, as I was writing out the
conversation between my husband and son I knew the three would be a
perfect accent to highlight G's age (journaling card is a printable freebie from my stash). I colored the number with a pink Sharpie pen and then added the coordinating hot pink butterfly paper to the top of the card.
And a few other close ups on favorite cards...
