Sooo, I'm still really behind on Project Life. I just finished week 7, but I skipped weeks 4,5 and 6 in order to stay more current. I think I'm going to not worry about those weeks until later. I kept pretty good notes/plans for those weeks, so it will be easier to go back and do those when I have some extra time. My #1 goal for this week is to get weeks 8 and 9 finished! We'll see how it goes, but I have a fairly low key week, so I'm hopeful at least. ;)
Anyway, on to week 7!! Pretty sure this was the week I realized I hadn't picked up my big camera in awhile and knew I needed to get better about that. I have been a LOT better since then, which really helps in filling up those 4x6 pockets. ;) It's also really nice to have some REAL photos in there instead of just the instagram ones (which I do still love btw ;)
I used lots of my Story Hour kit leftovers for this week, since it was already all out on my desk. I have LOVED using my Studio Calico kit leftovers for Project Life...I feel like I don't even make a dent in my kits each month, so it's been a great way to use up more of the kits. Also loved using my SC stamps this month...the I Love Books set was perfect for the little photo of Brady learning to read on starfall.com and the Project Life Epic and Awesome stamps of course are amazing for this project.
Since week 7 was the week of Valentine's Day, I had a lot of extra photos/memorabilia to include. I used THESE 4x4 pocket page protectors and filled them up w/Valentine photos and a selection of the kids' Valentines from school.
So that's it for my week 7...who else is behind? Anybody have any tips for staying on track? I hope to post week 8 later this week and week 9 on Monday. Happy Tuesday, friends!! :)
It looks great!!! :)

Girl, you are way farther along than I am!! I wanted to find a way to print the Instagram photos I've taken but that set me back because I didn't want to get further into the calendar without including them. Way to go - you've inspired me to focus on this really soon! :) And are those PL stamps gone? The link from your blog to them didn't work.

Love how bright and colorful it is! I just force myself to stay no more than a week behind b/c I know me and I know I will throw in the towel if I get more behind than that :). Mine is super simple though - barely anything other than photos and core kit. Again, I know me and I know that I've given up on other "365'ish" projects in the past. Looking back, it won't be as cute but it will be done LOL ;).

Your Project Life inspires me, Kelly :) Love how colorful it is! I've been using leftovers from my SC kits for mine as well.

Dear Kelly, this is my first visit to you. You're so inspiring. I love this herringbone paper, on your title of the week, where is it from, do you remember? Thank you so much.
