Project Life 2012: February part 3

And so the Love theme continues in this third instalment of my February Project Life pages!

Continuing to document things we love this month is really making us aware of all the everyday pleasures and joys that we sometimes overlook, so it's almost turning into a Gratitude month too. That's always a good thing.

Anyway, this week I kept it fairly simple as far as layout and design were concerned; it's really just photos and words.

First up, here's the whole page overview:



































In the top left hand, I used a CZ Tiny Template (available from Designer Digitals) to record a Valentine moment and thought. Those heart ring cupcakes - totally yummy by the way.

















The top right is a collage of some recent shots of me playing with the webcam and its special effects, which is something I love to do (being 40 doesn't mean you can't have fun messing round!):
















To accompnay the collage, I wrote a quick journal card. I used a digi Clementine card and recoloured it to fit the page better. NB the other Bath Love journal card is still blank because I want to have Chloe write a quick note about her passion for baths, as shown by the bottom right photo. A passion that is perhaps only surpassed by her adoration of pjs. The girl loves a good old soak in a warm bubble bath. She'd stay in there all day if she could!
















Lastly, I included a recent shot of my adorable nieces and nephew, because I really do love being an aunt. I used a very old journal card from my supplies to journal this:


















As I said, a simple week, but I do like how it worked out. We have a few more things to document in our February focus on all things love, so I think we'll have the last page(s) next week or week after to wrap up the month.

In the meantime, I'll be linking up to The Mom Creative for Project Life Tuesday - this is a really fantastic way to 'meet' up with other Project Lifers and see all the fab work everyone else is doing. If you've come here from there, welcome to my blog - great to have you stop by - and if you haven't been yet, go check it out now!

  1. I LOVE your handwriting! That is the first thing that popped out at me. I really like the simplicity! It's the memories that count, no matter if we embellish the heck out of them or not. :D

    1. Thanks! I agree. Sometimes I'm in the mood to get all fancy and playful and sometimes I want clean and simple. That's what I love about this - I can do both!
