Week 12! Getting caught up. This week was a good mix of food pictures, stuff and pictures of us. My photos were very 'red' so I stuck with a warm color theme for the most part, with touches of green.
Here is the left side. I cropped a photo of my Trader Joe's ranunculus off-center so I could use it for my date card.
I randomly bought myself some macaroons on the Tuesday of this week. Not sure why, but they were delicious and I should do it more often. I read this article about lemon water and have been drinking it at work ever since. I just throw a couple slices of lemon into a mug with hot water. It's like tea for the lazy person.
I used these Amy Tangerine letter stickers on the bottom photos. I like how the letters are a little translucent so you can see the photo behind it. It's a little easier to see that feature in real life, but they are great.
To be honest, I was on the fence about getting these because they were $8... but there are so many stickers and they are easy to use on a lot of things. So all-in-all, good purchase.
And the right side. All of these details are from the weekend. I absolutely had to include the photo of Billy and I wearing the same outfit and think it's actually a good picture of us!
I have been drinking my fair share of Moscow Mules these days so I kept the bottle cap from my ginger beer and put it on the outside of the pocket.
My sister sent me these super cute adhesive labels. They are the perfect size for a date stamp and come in really cute matchbox-style packaging. Thanks, B.

I love seeing your Project Life posts, you are so creative. I just bought my first PL album/kit from HSN. Since you were one of the people that inspired me to try PL (I have been a traditional scrapbooker for 15 years, with not alot of pages done to show for it), I have a couple questions for you. When you use pictures in the smaller slots, do you trim them or have them printed that size? Speaking of printing pictures, where do you have yours printed? Any other tips for a first time project lifer?
