I am happy to report that I am almost caught up on Project Life. One more side to put together and week 26 will also be done.

Project Life Week 23 and Week 24

I am happy to report that I am once more caught up with Project Life. When my computer died I didn't have access to my photos for a few days so it put me behind.

Here is the two page spread for Week 23

I am playing along with the first Project Life challenge over at Week 2 Week and this weeks challenge is to use a 'currently card' in your layout.

I will be back with the rest of my Week 23 later this week.

Project Life ~ Week 22

I can't believe it is Thursday and time for another look at my Project Life layouts. It has been grey and rainy here in Minnesota so I had a hard time getting photos this week.

Here is a look at Side One. 

Lots of photos this week and almost thought about doing an insert so I could include more, but decided against it. I just created a few layouts with multiple photos like the one in the lower right hand corner has 3 different photos of things going on in my craftroom this week.

Here is a look at Side Two.

Lots more photos on this layout too and even a couple of 4x6 photos with overlays on them. Decided to get a couple of photos of my two guys in their normal spots during the day. Joe at the TV and Justin on the computer.

If you have any questions regarding my layout or products used please leave me a comment along with your email address.

Project Life ~ Week 21

I can't believe it has been another week and time to post my Project Life layouts for last week.

Here is the full two page spread.

Here is a close-up look at side one. Things in the yard are starting to bloom and as they do you will see them in my layouts. Most products shown here are either by Simple Stories or the Studio Calico Project Life kits along with stuff from my stash.

Here is a look at side two. If you are a follower of my blog you know that last week was a little rough on me and I share some of that in my layout as well as some hidden journaling that you can't see.

Project Life ~ Week 20

Although I don't take a lot of family photos for my project life and sometimes I don't have enough photos I am still enjoying putting together my pages and writing down just some of the things we did during the week.

I forgot to take a shot of the two page spread and was too lazy to go do it again.  

This week was Mother's Day and I showed in last weeks pages the stamps I got from Justin. The card in the upper left corner shows the post he did on Facebook on my timeline wishing me a Happy Mother's Day. 

The card on the upper right side is Justin's movie ticket stub from seeing Iron Man 3 and the today lined circle is a new digital from Mari at Stamp Your Life.

Pay no attention to the crazy weird lady in the lower left corner, it was a really bad hair day and my normal routine of no makeup and my favorite hoodie. lol

Here is the other side of Week 20

A shot of my messy desk, Justin took a couple photos while he was at the dentist with Joe for a check up, a trip to the post office, my weekly weather shot, Micah's new shoes, Powerball tickets (lottery was over 600 million) we didn't win, Justin came down with a temp on Thursday 103 degrees it lasted for about 3 hours before we got it down to 101. Ended up being cellulitis which he gets once a year in his leg, the last card is a mini book I made during my online workshop "fold it in".

Thanks for stopping by my blog today it really means a lot to me.

Project Life Week 19

Almost forgot to post my Project Life this week. Things have been a little crazy here.

Two Page Layout.

Side One

Not many people pictures this week. Justin got his Lynx season tickets which I did a two layer spread on. I cut my paper to 6x8 and adhered my stuff to it and then I cut it down to fit the three different pockets it would go on.

Side Two

For my pages I used April and May Studio Calico kits, stamps from Stamp Your Life, LLC and my stash.

Project Life ~ Week 18

Can't believe we are already into week 19 of the new year. I finished week 18 of Project Life and am happy to report that I am still managing to keep current each week.

Here is a look at the two page spread. This week included Micah and Cassie spending the night along with Micah and I spending a day together while his parents were at work and a roadtrip for Justin and I while Joe stayed home to take care of "Birdie".

Here is a look at Side One. We had some crazy weather this week. We finally saw some warm weather for a day and the next day we had snow. Only in Minnesota does this happen.

Here is a close up of a couple of my cards. Besides using cards from my Studio Calico Project Life kit and Becky Higgins products I also make some of my own cards. The other is a photo that my friend Pam sent me of her Dogwood trees.

Side Two includes lots of photos from our road trip. It was a bad week for Weight Watchers, but we had some excellent food. From the photos you see the pool and slides and then once you think tropical you notice the temp was 36 degrees and rain all 3 days we were gone.

Here is a closer look at a couple of the cards for this side. These burgers were fantastic as were my sweet potato puffs.

A closer look at one of the pools and one of the slides. They had 3 indoor pools at this water park.

Project Life ~ Week 17

I am still enjoying my Project Life layouts each week even though some weeks I feel like it looks the same as the last week.

Here is the full two page spread. 

The left side. I took a road trip up to North Dakota to visit my sister who is currently in a nursing care facility recooperating after falling a few days prior. Our weather was crazy that week we had one day in the 80's after getting tons of snow a few days prior.

Here is a close up shot of my week 17 card along with that great winter card that I got from my friend Smitha Katti on Facebook. This definitely shows a pie chart of the Minnesota Seasons.

Micah is learning how to roller blade and really enjoys it. I like to sew on a few pages of each of my Project Life spreads and usually do it to the alpha stickers I use. Notice Dad in his t-shirt with the snow in the background.

The drive home from my sisters was a little scary as I drove through a blizzard that lasted about 30 minutes. It came out of nowhere and then was gone. I couldn't see the cars in front of me and the semi truck/trailer in front of me was wobbling all over the place.

I got the most wonderful stamp from my friend Mari who owns Stamp Your Life, LLC., It was one of her custom wooden stamps. I had mentioned to her once that I would love to have a stamp to use in all my Project Life albums at the beginning that said The Eckblads est. 1975 and she sent me one.

Here is the right side and you can see the picture with all the snow. And my weekly weather shot that I take on my phone. This side also shows Elsie Rae's birth announcement and of course pictures of Micah and Cassie who spent the night so their Mom and Dad could have a date night.

Here is a close up of the 9 or 10" of snow we got.

My Nephew Ben was in Paris this week for work and sent us a post card of the city. It was too long so I cut it apart and put it into 3 of the 3x4 sleeves.

Well that is all I have for week 17, but will be back again next week. Justin and I are heading out to Sioux Falls, South Dakota tomorrow for a Little People of America Spring Regional convention.

Thanks for stopping by my blog today it really means a lot to me.

Week 15 - Project Life

Sorry I am a little late posting this weeks Project Life layout. I had it done ahead of time and then just put the book away before I took photos.

Week 15 was an uneventful week here at the Eckblad house so I only did a one page layout. The other side is a 12x12 photo of the sky that I cut apart and inserted into the divided pages. (sorry I didn't take a photo of this)

Definitely a boring week that included coffee, lots of coffee, new tires, and snow, lots of snow. Enough to get a person depressed.

Thanks for stopping by my blog today it really means a lot to me.

Project Life ~ Week 14

I am still going strong on Project Life and just finished working on Week 14 which included Easter. I did a full two page spread along with an insert that had all the photos from Easter.

Sorry that my photos are so dark. We have been gray and gloomy here and as I write this post we have a major snow storm headed in for the next 48 hours.

Here is the two page layout along with the insert.

Here is side one. 

I used papers and embellishments from my stash as well as the April Studio Calico Project Life kit.

Side Two uses more stuff from my stash, Studio Calico and stamps by Mari over at Stamp Your Life, LLC., I love using stamps on my photos and pages. 

Yep, that dork in the middle row is me. I am taking a class over at Studio Calico called 'this is me' and I need to just get over my photo shyness and take some photos of me.

Here is a look at the Easter insert that sits between these two pages.

To create the insert I cut down a Becky Higgins size D insert to fit the pictures I had.
