Hey everyone! I know I disappeared there for a while. I'm drowning in daycare babies these days, and that has meant that my creative time has been pretty much non existent the last week or two. I finally got around to finishing up two more weeks in my 2017 Project Life album, just so that I'd have something to share. 

So week nineteen had quite a few photos that I wanted to include, so I added in a 6×12" pocket page insert. This allowed me to use plenty of extra photos – seven extra photos to be exact. 

Here's a look at the first part of the weekly spread, which shows the 6×12" pocket page insert added in on the right side of the spread. I've been thinking that I might go back and add tabs to any of my insert pages, since they're usually smaller than my main pages. Just to help them stand out more, as an extra page to flip.

Still loving the these Weekly Edition Journaling Cards, from One Little Bird, for my weekly title cards. In my last photo order from Freeprints, I went ahead and ordered the cards for the rest of the year. The peachy filler card is from Studio Calico. It matched the selfie of Sarah in the row below it, and I ended up incorporating more of the color on some of the other cards. 

Forever ago, I had picked up some $5 kits from Studio Calico during a big sale. I took the kits all apart and put like products together in a few of the zipper pouches. I was looking thru them while working on these pages, and came across the fun little tear apart words/phrases – like the "beautiful" I added to the photo of Sarah. I used a few of them throughout this week. 

I had a lot of colors going on in the photos on this weekly spread – peach, purple, orange, maroon. It's nice when it all just magically works together. At least, when I look at it, it feels like it ended up working together. Lol. 

I'm pretty sure I've added this chipboard camera to a journaling card in a previous week, but it was the first thing I thought of when typing up this card, so I left room for it. 

I believe this was another Studio Calico filler card, but don't quote me on that, because I might be wrong. The peachy banner sticker was from a really old Becky Higgins kit, and matched the filler card on the first page perfectly. I've been pulling out my older chipboard pieces from Pebbles quite a bit to add to my filler cards. 

Sarah's been working at her job for three months now, and I have yet to get a picture of her in her work uniform. She doesn't understand that I like to document these types of things. Lol. But when she left for her first day at her new job, I did take a picture out the front window of her driving away. 

Here's a look at the second page of the weekly spread, with the 6×12" pocket page insert on the left side of the spread.

This side of the 6×12" insert is pretty photo heavy, with four 3×4" photos. The two photos above actually go with the journaling card and additional 4×6" photo to the right, on the next page. I knew that I wanted to include not only the photo of Alyssa and I from that day, but the photo of Alyssa, her dad, and her grandpa as well. 

I'm so wordy sometimes. There are times where I don't have enough journaling to fill enough of the journaling card, and times when I seem to have too much that I want to include. My font here may have been a little small, but I got all the words down, so it's all good 😉

I screenshot both of these Snapchat photos that Alyssa had sent to me, as I thought they were pretty cool. The one on the left was taken when the commencement band was practicing for graduation (which she's played at for a few years), and the one on the right was taken on the day of graduation, before the ceremony. 

The 4×6" photo and the journaling card here go with the photos of Alyssa, her dad, her grandpa, and I from the previous page. She had so much going on during this week of May, as it was her last week of school. 

Between year end ceremonies, graduation, and graduation parties, she had a busy week. Which meant lots of photos, which always makes me happy. 

And there it is. Week nineteen finished and complete. I'll be back Thursday to share week twenty. And then I'm hoping that with the 3 day weekend coming up, I'll get a few more weeks finished up.
