Project Life- more 2012 layouts

Sharing a few of my favorite layouts from the second half of 2012...

Week 33

First up, Week 33, from mid-August. I had thisold Fancy Pants "Its the Little Things" collection (in both 6x6 and 12x12) that is easily one of my most favorite collections of all time. I was hesitant to use it (you know that, 'but if I use it, I won't have it anymore!' problem!). So I bit the bullet, figured it did no good sitting in a drawer to be drooled on while loking for other things, and tried to do my best to showcase it. It includes 2 inserts.

The first photo shows the full right side, and the front of the first insert. Just lots of everyday things: running errands, having a rare mommy-daughter lunch, cooking dinner and some summer reading. Nothing spectacular and all these pics came from my phone. Not great quality, but it captures real life, whcih I like. The front on the first insert begins photos from a trip to a local fair...

Back of the first insert, front of the second. more photos from the fair...

And here's the right page. I love the 3 right-most photos of this layout. Just a Sunday afternoon, no special occasion- but some of my favorite photos from 2012.

Week 36

A busy week, including the first day of school, welcoming our new puppy and a graduation party. The first photo shows the left side and front of the first insert. The first insert is a trimmed baseball card page protector from Staples. I had to document our puppy Oliver’s arrival and I’m so glad I caught a pic of him with his ears (one up, one down) because he only looked like that for a day or 2 and then the other ear popped up…

Back side of the first insert, front of the second. The second insert holds photos from my cousin’s graduation party from cosmetology school. I made her an oversized pair of glittery scissors and lots of “hair” props so she posed with everyone. I couldn’t choose a favorite, so I included them all!. So fun!

The last photo shows the back of the second insert anda bit of the right side page. The photo of my 86-year-old grandma in a paper wig of red braids cracks me up! So glad this project helps me capture these memories...

Products: Mostly Echo Park’s “So Happy Together” collection, with some tabs from October Afternoon and alpha from American Crafts and Carolee’s Creations.
