Project Life 2013 | Week Six

Welcome to Project Life | Week Six.
Lots of Anna celebrations this week and a concert in Portland.
Some of you might notice that I didn't include all the photos that I included in my blog post about Anna's birthday. I've got plans to create a layout for the rest of those images.
The large chipboard 4 stitched onto the top left photo is from October Afternoon. Usually I use 4x6 cards from the Seafoam kit in that location but decided to mix it up with a photo this week.
The childhood Project Life mini-kit editions are not just for stories about kids. I used a card from the Wellington set this week ("good memory").
And yes, I have a new friend.
IDEA | Use a pocket within the pockets. These stitched vellum pockets from Studio Calico are a great fit for the 3x4 pockets. The package includes both kraft and vellum stitched pockets.
Chipboard banner is from My Mind's Eye.
IDEA | Print directly onto Seafoam journal cards. This week I chose to print a quote directly onto a journal card that included word art from my Quote This set. In photoshop I set up a new file sized to 3x4 at 300dpi. I added the words and the quotation word art. Before printing I added I temporarily adhered the Seafoam journal card onto a 4x6 sheet of photo paper and ran it through my Epson PictureMate printer. I usually recommend doing a test print first and then adding the journal card and re-running it through the printer.
The 8.5x11 insert included this week is the Conversation With Anna I did right around her birthday.
On the back I included a collage of four photos of Anna from each of her birthdays.
The Hello My Heart 3x4 card was printed on photo paper.
The pink "today" on the photo of Anna at her party is from Elle's Studio's new Day To Day line and the layered circle sticker is from My Mind's Eye.
Word stickers on the top right photo are also from My Mind's Eye.
IDEA | To partially cover up an image I used a piece of vellum cut to 3x4. I also stapled a banner from the top of a layered My Mind's Eye sticker to the vellum cover.
What do I use for my corner rounder? The Corner Chomper from We R Memory Keepers set at the 1/4 inch corner.

Love all of your inspiration. Love the pocket within a pocket idea.
I'm pretty sure I broke our last printer trying to print on a journal card! Please be careful to those trying.
And congrats. Very happy for you.

TY Ali for still posting layouts vs project life. I love PL but it seems that every one of my beloved blogs are only focused on PL and have all but abandoned layouts. Me thinks way too much PL and not enough L/O from my favs. BTW, you looked awesome with your blowout and your new friend is mucho photo-worthy! XO
Replies
I definitely haven't abandoned them (my 12-week Big Picture class this summer will include all new layouts) but I do find this a really great way to document our lives.

Love Ali's PL pages. Printing Journals - Love the idea of printing quotation word art right on the 3x4 cards. Found an awesome website to print journal made so simple (no tapes or adhesives). I bought some of the templates and they work wonderfully with PL journaling cards. Print Ali's digital brushes right on the PL cards or textured cards.

Lovely pages. I especially love the photo of Simon and Anna together, and the one of you and Anna in the bathroom together. You included some really fun angles with your pictures, which gives me some great ideas for making the same old things look interesting again. Thank you! Congratulations on your beautiful daughter turning 4...and on your new friend :)
Replies
I forgot to mention that I really like the idea of having a picture from each of Anna's birthdays on the insert. Great idea!

Vellum, yes (I also happened to rediscover it recently).Your page is so full of light and can I call it transparency? Love that last photo of Anna and a little bit of you, and also that the photo's of your new friend are just glimpses at this stage. Beautiful moment btw. And the quote is AWESOME.
