I'm sure that's not news for anyone reading this. The truth is that I started a second job today. It was great. I will be providing office support for an online pottery company. They don't make pottery but they buy, resell, auction, and purchase from estates.
Anyway, between my regular job, my part-time job, and school (yeah, that sucks too), I will be limited on my crafting time. But never fear. I WILL keep up on my project life. I have everything prepped in advance so all I have to do is plunk in my pictures, whip up a little journaling, and voila! The downside is that it may take a little longer to upload my photos to the blog. I also bought a new scrapbook to put my layouts from year 4 of tha ceej so I will scan those layouts as I am putting the book together. I already have a big stack done and many more to put together.
So please hang in there with me. Only 11 more weeks of classes then I get another break. Then T-ball season starts. Sigh.

Project Life: Weeks 5-6
I'd like to apologize for the pictures this week. I fought with my scanner and photoshop for over 3 hours today.
Week 5 was a busy one. Weird weather, massive car issues, monster trucks, and science day filled up the week. I had an insert for this week and still had to cram everything in.

Evolving
I've been putting my giant stack of layouts in my scrapbooks. While looking through the old stuff I've realized how far I've come since I first started scrapbooking over 10 years ago.
On one hand there are so many more products and techniques available now than back in the day. But I've also been watching tutorials and other YouTube channels. Again, these weren't available long ago. I've learned design principles and so much more.
I'm also journaling a lot more now than I ever have, which is to say never. I have zero journaling in my old books.
Maybe one day I will go back and add journaling. I struggle with wanting to completely redo all of my old pages but then I kind of like to see how far I've come. If anything I will add the stories of the pictures on the backside of the pages.
Nevertheless, it's a continuous growing process. I've come to call my myself a memory keeper than a scrapbooker. And I look forward to see how much more I can grow.

No Project Life this week
There will be no project life pics this week. I didn't have time to edit and upload pictures to be printed.
But stay tuned and you will get to see weeks 5 and 6 in a few days. :)

Project Life: Week 4
Week 4 is finally finished!
Again, journaling and week cards are from my stash. I believe this is My Minds Eye. The letters that spell "week" are old Heidi Swapp ghost letters painted with a paint dabber in chicken coop. The word "four" are old Heidi Swapp chipboard letters painted with a paint dabber in soap flakes. I also used a few pieces of washi tape and a transparency die cut and a random button. The "you said" die cut is from my silhouette and inked up.
The arrows in page 2 are all cut with the silhouette and inked.
This week was pretty slow. Week 5 had so much that I had to include an insert page. But you'll have to wait until next week to see that one ;)
