project life - february

This year I intend to link up with Nightwolf's Den for my Project Life posts.  I'm aware is it's now three weeks into March and I haven't posted any of my February layouts yet.

Time to fix that. Here are some of the February pages and a couple of pages from January to give you an idea of how I'm approaching Project Life this year.

Firstly, I'm not using any of the core kits, so I'm using my own supplies. This involves a lot of Kraft cardstock, craft tapes (like Washi, Cavallini & Co and Tim Holtz), papers from my stash and digital supplies. 

I'm making my own journalling cards and backgrounds for the photos and also journalling directly onto the photos. I'm doing it mostly digitially (mostly onto 6x4 canvasses), then printing the whatever I have ready to print once a week at my local photo processor.

So here are some of the results.

I'm also putting in quotes & thoughts I notice during the month

That's how things are going at the moment. I've tried to stick with one basic colour for most of the layouts each month - February was a sort of pinky-red - to make the pages match up a little bit, but I'm not sticking rigidly to that if I see something that matches the photos or the theme for a particular layout.

I haven't done any photos or layouts for March yet. I hardly had any photos for the month and then all of a sudden everything started happening and I've been overwhelmed with photos. So there's a lot of sorting and editing to be done before my next post.
