i switched up my project life album a bit last week.

i realized that it doesn’t make sense for me to end my weeks on sundays because i like to put together my layouts on sunday, so i essentially miss that entire day in the spread!

i’m going to try sunday-saturday spreads and see how that works instead.

so this week covers sunday, october 7-saturday, october 13.

and it was a busy week!

i’ve got two inserts and lots of photos.

the left page is from early in the week.

i kept the date card simple simple, added a journal card with my monday by the numbers! family & puppy photos were too cute not to include.

the first insert i used this week was a photo pocket page – design h.

this week officially kicked off tea season for me, so i added a couple photos and a tea package.

here is the back of that insert. we had a bon fire and a little gathering with my family when liz was home, so i included photos from that.

the second insert was photo pocket page – design g.

on the front are photos from the morning i spent hanging out with my mom, liz, and our nephew (step-nephew?) blake! i kept this page simple – i think the photos tell the stories pretty well.

here’s the back of that insert. i included some photos from a coffee date that liz and i took to our cousins’ coffee shop as well as a fun journaling card. liz and blake had a hilarious dialogue when they were playing (bottom right photo on the insert), and i tried to recreate it!

annnnddd, the last page. more photos from at home & some that i took outside and my mom’s house, a picture from the wedding we went to, and me snuggling jake when i got back to madison on saturday night!

now the detail shots…

i had too many horizontal photos this week, so i printed three of them as 4×6 photos, then cut them in half and used two vertical 3×4 pockets to hold them.

i also jotted the recipe for that tasty tomato appetizer on a smash captions card.

i did something i’ve done before and used washi tape to make lines for journaling on a plain card.

the last two things that i really liked about this week’s layout was the added tea wrapper and the use of instagram photos.

i haven’t done much of adding in random bits & scraps that i encounter through my days, but i’m going to try to get better at that. and who doesn’t love instagram photos?!

whew! lots of pictures in this post, huh?

don’t worry, this week is quite boring, so who knows what i’ll pull together for the album!
