Ramblings of a Stay-at-Home Mom

Welcome to Project Life 2013 - Week 39 (September 23-29) Keep on chugging...keep on chugging..... Left side of layout. Design L .   The title card is from Ali Edwards For the Love of Life Journal Cards , re-coloured with the Redstar Bold font.   I didn't add anything to this page. It felt right just the way it was. By the way, yes, that is Violet looking at a Boom Crane in downtown. There's a new big building going up and she was fascinated by it. Also playing with Lego, my Mom canning pickles, another walk in the beautiful fall weather and the leaves on the ground. Right side of layout. Design D .   For this side, I used the journal card from the PL Honey Kit with Times New Romans as the font. More photos of everyday stuff, like Violet helping Keith go through all his WarHammer paint that he got from a friend, my sister Sam's truck in the bottom of a lagoon, my 9-week pregnancy photo, playing Killer Bunnies and 2 photos from our Date Night.   The blank space I have is ac

Welcome to Project Life 2013 - Week 38 (September 16-22)!! Keeping up with my catch-up post a day so far (finger's crossed) Left side of layout. Design Q .   The title card is from Just Jamie with the Times New Romans font. The quote card I found online (I have a *thing* right now for quote cards). The middle 4x4 is paper from the PL Cinnamon Kit with Lord of the Sith Shadow and Times New Romans font. And yes, that is me with an 8-week Baby Bump. Font is A Yummy Apology. Right side of layout. Design L.   Not too much on this side. 2 texts with Keith (I seriously married the weirdest guy sometimes...), Violet let me put her hair in pigtails and I decided to add a Digital Brush on top of the photo from Ali Edwards Heart Today . I also used another of her digital brushes (the arrow with "love this" where Violet's sitting on Daddy's shoulder) which is from Arrow Sentiments . The journal card is from the PL Cinnamon Kit with Times New Romans as the font.   Come bac

Welcome to Project Life 2013 -Week 37 (September 9-15) This week was Week in the Life, and although I'm not finished my actual album yet (!!!), I did a quite layout for this week in PL. No photos, just a card for each day with what I was grateful for and some filler cards to fill up the spaces. Title Card: Ali Edwards Embracing the Everyday Overlays: A Vegas Girl Days of the Week overlays Left side of layout.   The Title Card is from Ali Edwards Embracing the Everyday . Each day of the week is from A Vegas Girl Days of the Week Overlays . I decided to stick with the same thing this time around just some uniformity. The filler cards here are from (from left to right): PL Cinnamon Kit , there's a blank space for a card that is in the binder, but I don't have digitally, and a quote that I found online. Right side of layout   Same setup over here, just used a card from PL Seafoam Kit , another blank space for one I don't have digitally, and another quote I found online. Bo

Welcome back to Project Life 2013 - Week 36 (September 2-8) I kind of fell off of updating the blog with PL for the last couple weeks. I have kept up with doing the physical updates, but finding good lighting in my house to photograph the layouts is almost impossible. So I've decided that although I'm doing this physically, I do set it up digitally so that I can do all my typing and word-art where needed. So I'll just post my digital layouts that will basically look the same as my physical layouts. Win-win for me! I will be posting a layout a day (except for the weekend) for the next couple days to catch up. Onto Week 36! Left side of layout. Design C .   The title card is from Ali Edwards For the Love of Life Journal Cards , re-coloured (instead of black) with the Janda Happy Day font. The "Love" stamp was a freebie from Persnickety Prints. The "Loving Life" journal card is from the PL Cinnamon Kit with Times New Romans typing.    This week was busy, b
