Welcome to Week 16 of Project Life here at Nihao, Cupcake! Blog.
This week only had a few photos which means this spread was much easier and faster to pull together.
I used one of my homemade stamps to make the date/title card. I was in a hurry to take photos before I lost the light so I haven't yet written in the date.
The photo on the bottom left is one of the self-portraits I took, and then spliced together, from my new monthly photography challenge - 4 Photos; 4 Ways. (Go here, to check it out. Considering joining along and adding your link!)
On the top right photo I altered a Valentine's label and made it neutral by trimming the edge with the themed graphic and covering the little bit that was left with a star.
The kraft banner sticker on the 3x4 photo of my husband was made by trimming down the scraps from a sheet of Martha Stewart by Avery labels. I had originally seen a package of kraft adhesive banners that I was tempted to buy, but then I realized I could easily make some of my own by using supplies I already had at home. Gotta love that!
APRIL DAY IN THE LIFE
Are you recording your Day in the Life today along with Ali Edwards?
I am planning to. I have joined along February & March. Let's hope I remember when I wake up. The camera is all set and ready to go.
Here is my finished March Day in the Life insert I never shared last week.
I used Design E folded in half. This is the front side with all of my journaling. For the background I enlarged a photo of our Easter eggs and reduced the opacity so it wouldn't take away from the text. I like the idea of it, but I don't think I love the drab colors.
Here is the other side of the folded page E.
And the inside. I love including as many photos as I can! I still had a few that wouldn't fit.
This Mother's Day questionaire is adorable! And why not be shameless like the author, download it and have your husband, nanny, grandparent, friend, (etc) sit with the kids and fill it out for you for Mother's Day or any day for that matter! I'm a big fan of questionaires. And this is a good one!
And a ton of give aways going on at the Big Picture Classes blog, check it out!

Great homework shot and you walking on the beach. Looks like another wonderful week.

I ♥ your date/title card, and I especially ♥ the self portraits on the beach that you combined into one photo.
COOL idea!

Thank you, Lisa! I had fun splicing that photo all together. It kind of just came together.

I really like your self portrait. Such a fun idea.
Also LOVE how you put together your day in the life. Once I'm caught up, I'm hoping to start doing that. It's such a great way to see everyday life.
