Front Row : Project Life Weeks 2 + 3

February's kit, Front Row, is live at Studio Calico!

Week 2 : January 7-13 Here is Week 2 of 2013 with February's Project Life kit only. I captured lots of ordinary everyday moments this week - things that are pretty typical around here right now. Lots of princesses, crafting, sickie bugs, a little happy mail and some weird Michigan weather. 

One of my goals this year is to incorporate more digital elements - stamps, journaling, etc - in my Project Life and I really enjoyed using many of the ones available with this month's kit. I need to remember to do more of that during the photo editing / pre-printing process!

Week 3 : January 14-20 I LOVE all of the yellows and greens in the kits this month. I used a lot of bits from several kits for this spread - the Project Life kit, card kit, add-on 1 (Big Screen) and add-on 3 (Matinee).

Around here : (finally) a calm haircut experience for my son, beach day at preschool for my daughter and a scrappy day with my mom and sister were just a few of the highlights. I loved getting a little bit of modern-day technology in this layout - like a Facebook status update and I also added a QR code on the "Good Times" journaling card that links to a YouTube video that my kids watched over and over again this week. It will be fun to scan it with my iPhone (I use the ScanLife app) in the future and see my kids relive that memory. :)

I will be the first to admit I have a hard time getting myself in my Project Life layouts. I'm too quick to see "the bad" - the messy hair, tired eyes, makeup-less face, etc. but I did it this week anyway. I took an in-the-moment photo with my son while I was giving him a piggy back ride around the house. Though it is an awful photo of me, it totally captures the mood and his smile says it all. I couldn't not include it this week. 

You can see both layouts together, plus a ton more Project Life inspiration, in this month's gallery here.

Thanks for looking and I can't wait to see what you make with this month's kits. Have a great week!
