Another spread from summer. I can't believe the time has passed so quickly. I feel like I just did all these things and collected all of these little bits of memorabilia. It was the week after A Week in the Life so I was in the habit of collecting everything & taking lots of photos!
How easy is it to slip the ticket from the circus in with a photo from that day? It's also simple to punch a hole through the packaging of a toy...
...flip it over and write your story on the back side. I do find that I run out of room on the journaling cards, so writing right on the packaging is a great way to get additional writing space. I espcially find this is true if I use the journaling pocket pages for photos, receipts, tickets, etc. Adding journaling spots directly on to the photos also gives more space.
Of course writing directly on your photos helps too, but I have yet to find a pen that I love. Those Sharpie fine point paint pens are great but they are so hard to find! And they run out so quickly.
I'll share more tomorrow. And since it is Tuesday, I'll be posting my photos from last week and hopefully my Project Life layout from Week 2 2012 (haven't gotten my photos printed yet, so we'll see if I can do it)!
Thanks for stopping by.
It looks fab Margie, I love how it's coming together :)

You are a machine Margie - pumping out all of these fantastic layout.
I am going to have to start looking at packaging, tickets etc with a fresh eye - I like what you do - you make it look effortless.

You are so sweet! Just as I feel like it took me all day to finish today's layout and get it online. I'm glad it LOOKS effortless. It is a lot of fun, though, and I'm hoping once I'm settled back into my routine, it will actually BE effortless. Ha! :)
