Project Life 2015- March 9-15... and a tip for documenting Movies!

Well…. its been a while, but I thought I’d get back on the saddle sharing some Project Life layouts and tips! I’ve been keeping up pretty well this year, having completed layouts through the end of August. But before I show the most recent layouts, I think I’ll backtrack and share a few older ones! So without further ado, here is a layout from March.

By late winter, our weekends have been filled with a lot of hockey games, so I’m challenged with making week after week of “ice rink” photos look unique. I used a lot from the Crate Paper’s “Open Road” collection for this layout. I love the color palette, and that pattern on the title card??? SWOON!

I kept the embellishment on the title card simple, so show that pattern off.

Here’s a close-up of the left side:

This card turned out to be one of my favorites. I have a pad of actual waitress “guest checks” that my friend Michelle gave me years ago. It proved to be the perfect base for this screenshot from my daughter’s Instagram account. The weekend we were travelling was St. Patty’s weekend and we found a great little bagel shop for breakfast, that had green bagels!

Here’s the full right side:

We tend to see a lot of movies throughout the course of a year, and I like to include them in my Project Life albums. Including the ticket stub is always a safe fall-back, but that gets old. For this week, I decided to make a interactive flap to document the movie we saw- Cinderella, along with the highly anticipated short for Frozen Fever. The front of the flap includes a short summary & rating of the movie, along with a ticket stub. On the inside, I included the movie posters. I LOVE including movie posters, as I think many years from now, it’ll be a better memory trigger for the film. I used a salvaged scrap piece of a page protector to make the flap, adhering it to the base page protector with the Fuse tool. I added a small tab sticker, stapled in place, to help it pop off the page.

Here is the front of the flap:

And the inside with movie posters:

While I would never support copyright infringement, I think printing these for my own personal use is OK. My favorite resource for movie posters is www.impawards.com. They are high-resolution images, and generally have multiple versions for each movie so I can pick my favorite. Just make sue you are finding one in English, as they often include foreign language versions for openings around the globe!

And… that’s about it for today. I’d love to hear everyone’s suggestions for how to document movies you see!
