On the left page I had papers from Crate Paper (the back of the ones I used last week), and I found that the Grandma's Dresser kit by Sahlin Studio matched them really well.
I printed out some accents and a card, and I wanted to print out some papers as well, but I ended up not having room because I had so many pictures. :) I really wish I had room to add some more touches of yellow on this page though!
I had fun sprucing up the journaling cards with digi labels from the kit!
This week more than ever, I am so frustrated at how poorly the pictures of my pages turned out. So let me show you the digi version of my photographs in this week's spread. First off, I have to share my latest purchase.. a vintage Dymo label maker!!
I eyed this in action on Tim Holtz's blog several months ago (Tim always has the coolest finds...), but tucked it to the back of my mind. But when I started PL, I started wanting one really bad. I used to have a Dymo label maker as a kid (a plain kind with just a fixed font), but my mom cannot find it anymore. Then, when I saw that the new Smash line revealed at CHA will carry a label maker (i.e., I will probably be able to pick up replacement tape at AC Moore or Michael's), I decided it was time for me to hunt down a Dymo label maker. They do make a new model of this label maker, with 3 interchangeable font wheels, and it is really cheap too ($17.51 on Amazon), but I decided to go with the vintage label maker because as far as I can tell from the photos the cursive font in the new model is different from the old one - and I am absolutely in love with that cursive font. ♥♥♥ I got it on eBay and I couldn't be happier! I've recently used it for cards too. Fun!
Here I got creative editing some pictures taken in very low light with DH's iPhone:
These bagel pictures (free bagels from Bruegger's for their 29th birthday!) were taken with my DSLR.
Again, a collection of iPhone pictures taken when we were out grocery shopping:
Finally, more DSLR shots:
DH requested a new portrait, so I was happy to oblige. While I was at it, I also asked him to pose for my P52 Cards shot - and if further proof was needed that DH is really a pain and always complains about me taking pictures, check out how he held the card in that middle picture. Upside down!! Like he couldn't care less... sigh. ;) And the funny thing is I noticed it only after taking the shot! :D
All these photo collages were put together using digi templates by Designs by Lili (yes, the same designer who created the Clementine kit of Project Life!). They are such a time-saver! They also make the decision process of which photos to include much easier, since you can fit many photos in one slot of the page protector.
Here is what I used for this week's pages:
Crate Paper Restoration kit
4x6 Photo Collages , 4x6 Photo Collages no. 2 and 3x4 Photo Collages by Designs by Lili
