Project Life, Week Twenty

May 24, 2012

Project Life, Week Twenty

IMG_9456

OBSERVATIONS: Well I guess the card says it all: what a fun week! Kicking off with Mother's Day and ending with dinner at the Space Needle in Seattle, last week was fairly atypical for this homebody. Up until last week, I hadn't flown since Simple Scrapbooks folded. I used to fly a lot. Now, not so much. It was a real treat to fly out to my home state, and that dominates the week's images.

Side note: I don't love flying. I think the older I get, the weirder it seems to me to be hurling through the atmostphere at ridiculous speeds. And honestly, how do those planes stay in the air? I mean, really? At one point, on the way home, we were heading into Minneapolis storms, so they were going to divert us to Fargo. The turbulence wasn't crazy, but it made my stomach drop a few times and in order to keep my cool, I had to picture that scene in Bridesmaids when the woman turns to Kristen Wiig and says, "I had a dream last night. That we went down… You were in it." Always makes me smile.

Second side note: Yes! I used washi tape this week for the first time ever. Who says an old dog can't learn new tricks?

Onto the week's pages!

Who doesn't love cute little blond girls? P.S. Molly, why didn't you make them my God children again?

This week I dropped a couple of type treatments onto a few of the Seattle photos. I like the way that looks. Simple and not in any distracting area of the photo.

More journaling about Seattle.

And the recap card.

And that's all she wrote for Week Twenty.

    You reminded me of something… Are there ever any talks of bringing the Simple Scrapbooks magazine back? I loved that magazine and would subscribe again if they brought it back.

    Your project life is so cool! I really like the simplicity of your pages and the week in recap. I am going to start a project life now in my craft room from http://roomstogrowusa.web12.hubspot.com/hobbyrooom/. Great project.

    I adore Seattle. We live near Vancouver, BC and I can say this is the best part of the world to live in. We camp near Seattle at least once a year and used to go to Mariners games quite often. Glad you could go back to visit, even a short one ;D

    Hi Cathy,

    These are beautiful. What fonts did you use on your pictures? Love it. Just getting back into memory keeping and recently discovered you. Looks like I need to make some Designer Digitals purchases!

    Love that the week was a lot about you Cathy, you always do a great job making sure all of you are in there. I think the kids will like looking back at these memories of their mom and friends. HOORAY for using tape, it looks great!! You won’t be able to stop yourself now!!!
    I’m not a fan of flying either, only a few times to visit my daughter in Florida. Glad you made it home safe and sound!!
    Enjoy the long weekend with your family!

    Follow up to above comment: after searching, I think I’ve come to the conclusion 5×7 is no longer easy to find for albums, protectors, etc….

    so my summer mini book may be 6×6. Do you have any multiple photo page layouts for 6×6? thanks!
