Hey all! As promised, I'm back to share week thirty three in my 2017 Project Life album. I feel so torn when I do have time to work on my albums. I want to get going on my 2018 album (and yes, I've been working on it), but I'm also excited to finish up the rest of 2017. Only nineteen more weeks to get done! 

I try and link to these weekly title cards every once in a while, even though I've linked to them a ton over the last year. I get asked about them a lot 😉 These are the Weekly Edition Journaling Cards, from One Little Bird. I just have them printed right along with my photos, making them super easy to use.

Most of the digital journaling cards that I use, I use as-is. The card above is one that I use with only the lines on it – it comes with a phrase at the top, which I always take off. I like having a basic, lined card to use, that I can then add something to that top section. Here, I've added a phrase from Kerri Bradford Studio. All of her cut files come with the PNG files as well, so they're easy to use digitally. 

I've been cleaning out my stash quite a bit the last few weeks, and doing a little re-organizing and a little purging. I've been re-working things to fit the way I scrap these days, so that the things I use often are easy to find and grouped together better. That's actually how I came across the aqua chipboard label that I added to my photo above. And it just so happen that the Simple Stories alpha stickers I wanted to use fit perfectly inside. It's like they were meant to go together.

I've also used that same basic, lined card for my journaling, but left the top part blank. Then I'll just look for things in my stash to add to the card, like the label sticker and alpha stickers I used here. Those black alpha stickers are from a Project Life kit that I picked up forever ago. It came with a ton of alpha stickers in tons of colors (or maybe they were a separate purchase, but designed to go with the kit), but they're kind of sheer when you use them. It finally dawned on me that they'll work well if I use them on something white, like this label sticker. 

I added an enamel arrow to my photo, since the journaling goes with that photo. And the number stickers tell you which mailbox belongs to us. 

I was going to journal about the can of paint, and my plans for it. But I have a photo that shows up in the next weekly spread that will have the story about what I painted. And no, I didn't paint my actual house 😉 But I found that little chipboard house (from Simple Stories) and it matched perfectly, so I used it.
