Project Life 2012: Week 5

I realize that I am a week late in getting this post in but I've been a tad bit busy and it took me awhile to get this post done because I had SO many pictures to post through since I went on a trip with my Mom and sisters over that weekend. So this post is a bit bigger than usual. I might have gotten a bit carried away... :) (insert sheepish grin)

Page 1 and 2 represent everything that happened during the week except my trip. :) If you notice the black circles I had to block some stuff out that I can't show the entire planet. :)

Page 1: Week 5 - Sorry about the blackouts. I just couldn't post some of this on the web. Usually I don't censor but some things I have to. :)

Week 5. I liked using the raised dot paper because it was bright pink and I could rub black ink on the edges to make it stand out more. (I used pink because of the Delta Phi Scrappa scrap weekend.)

Loved this movie. Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy. I put stars by it to indicate my love of the movie and a rating. I will totally buy it.

This is the detail of the writing on the Sick section. The page protector is 6x12, so I put the 6x6 picture on the right side and put journalling on the left. I had to put the text conversation on there because I thought it was absolutely hilarious! Then I put the detail of the week on there as well.

Comic section. I didn't put it on because I copied someone else's work and didn't know who to credit so I didn't want to show it on my blog.

This is the journaling for the bottom column of pages. The "Fun Stuff" is an old Karen Russell phrase sticker and the "COMIC" is from October Afternoon 5 & Dime. I love them. There new stuff is the shit.

Page 2 of the week. Sorry it's blurry.

FOOD! I had to use this journaling page (from Smash)because it was so fitting. Almost the whole page was about Food. I should probably get away from doing so many pictures of food but I like to show what things I enjoy eating.

The Laundry journaling is actually a picture. I took a picture of the Laundry sign from the Laundromat then added the journalling underneath it. - P.s. The owner makes THE BEST turkey sandwich ever! Every time I get it I gobble it down like it's my last meal. It's that good. It's called Fireside Coffeebeans and Laundry in Owatonna, MN. I can't find a link or I'd post it.

Page 3 and 4. This starts the Delta Phi Scrappa (DPS) weekend. I broke out the pages into sections. So there is a Travel section, a food section, a scrapping section and our hotel section.

Page 3. Travel. Used an old tag and cut it down to size for the journalling. I can't remember where I got it from but I thought it was appropriate. The word stickers were from 7 gypsies.

Detail of the journaling.

Kimmie the road napper. I took this picture with my phone and turned it into a Polaroid. Sorry about the blur.

I had to get in a close up of the loaded down Yukon. We had it strategically packed to the hilt! Everything fit in there and nothing was squashed or wrecked. (That would be me doing the packing.)

Page 4...all about Food! My family has a love affair with food. We love it...which is why most of us are not exactly the skinniest people on the planet.

I think this journalling tab is October Afternoon but I can't find it anywhere online. Dang. I chronicalled some of our food exploits but not all because I just didn't have the room.

Breakfast at the Grand View Lodge is my absolute favorite. They have fresh fruit and awesome scrambled eggs...I think their bacon could use a little work though but then again I'm a bacon snob and am very particular about my bacon.

SMORES!

Indoor Smores with our own little goblet of fire (yes the HP reference was intentional).

Page 5 & 6. I did some more pictures on the left of the hotel room at Grand View Lodge in Nisswa, MN

My favorite part of the room. This comfy reading chair.

I typed out journaling this time because it was going to be so large that I didn't want to write it out by hand plus I could put the ephemera to the right of it. I just used a 8 1/2 x 11 page protector to put the journalling in.

I created this title mirroring the DPS one.

Here is a close up of some of the funny moment journalling.

The back page of the journalling.

I made this embellishment to try and mirror the table numbers from our scrapbooking table.

More funny moments from the second page of journaling.

More journalling.

Here's both pages which would be pages 7 and 8.

9 4x4 pictures on the last page for the week. Phewww...this one felt like it took forever. There were so many pictures I didn't want to leave anything out.

Who doesn't love a moose with a pink boa and sunglasses? LOL

I like that picture of the mouth with the journaling in it. The goblet of fire is the perfect reference for that, lol.

I am surprised you didn't put anything down about the shamrock shake thing.
