So, I'm behind on Project Life (not surprising!). I've been really good about making sure I am keeping track of things but I've been really bad about actually doing the layouts. I created my first layout using the Noel Mignon Homespun kit (sorry, it's sold out) this weekend and I am totally hooked now. I mixed in a few extra journaling cards and alphas, but the rest is from the kit.
It took me forever to actually start writing on this page and committing to what I wanted to do, but once I got started it really just took off from there. I am totally addicted to doing this now. I get why so many people are doing this. It's a ton of fun and when I was done with the page I loved that I had so much to say about our week. I had very few pictures, but a lot of memories to share and that is what was awesome!
I'm hoping to get more caught up soon...
Here's my first page!
I had to edit the "this week" card from Elle's. It originallly had the week starting on Sunday, but I'm working on my PL album with the week starting on Monday. I just can't bring myself to have the week start on Sunday. To me it ends on Sunday and starts on Monday. I just cut the Sun part off and added it to the bottom.
We have a weird sense of humor in our house so I had a little bit of fun with the journaling card in the bottom row. The one where my daughter is exercising... Makes me laugh!
Please someone, tell me I'm not the only one that is behind on this????

You are in such good company! I'm a journalling-procrastinator. I manage to take the photos daily, but hate doing all the journalling, so I've got about 3 weeks of that to do. But, my project life binder is WAY simpler than yours! It's literally just the photos (sometimes collages), the journal cards and the stamped date.

I am so behind! I am behind on all my classes at BPC and have great intentions of doing project life (bought all the stuff!) but haven't even started. So frustrating that I let work and school get in the way of documenting my family's daily life!
Your page looks fabulous!
