Project Life: week one

Yes, I'm doing project life again this year.
It kinda makes me feel like I have a life.
(don't be foolish- of course I don't have a life).

I picked out a new kit {sunshine!}, and one of my goals is to mix things up a bit.
(and not end the year with four months of pictures and exactly zero months of journaling).

Here's the full spread:

I scored tickets to the Heart of Dallas Bowl, and was smacked on the rear by a stranger. This day needed a whole page to itself.

And here's the right page:

The right page is not my favorite... I guess because I used a lot of creativity on the left page. I even used a non-A design page protector. I do like how I mounted the pic of the copy machine on the Everyday journaling card, as I feel like I stand in front of that freaking thing every.single.day of my life.  

I have a love/hate relationship with sharing. Anybody besides myself that makes it into the PL album has to be blurred, which is a giant pain in the rocky road. See HERE for an explanation of that last part.

I haven't finished the title page yet. It's not as easy when you don't use the kit cards, or the design A, and when you change your mind every eleventy hundred minutes. I may show it off around week thirty. 

Some of my goals for this PL album this year are:

-  to get myself in the album more often. I'm already in it every week, save this past week, so I'm off to a good start.

- create my own title card every week most weeks, using a picture. Some weeks last year I wasn't willing to give up the title card slot for a pre made card, but I had a pattern going.  

- do more journaling directly on the picture. Quite a bit of my journaling is a phrase of a few words, which is not enough for a full card, and easy to put on a picture. Especially when I plan ahead and take the picture with some negative space on it. 

So, there you have it. I'm mostly up to date so far- save a little journaling. 

Not bad for four whole weeks into the new year.
