Ok so somehow I did two of April 1-7. I did everything right but week 2 of April which started on the 8th also got dated April 1-7. So I dated the next week April 8-14. Then this week I was going to date it and I was like, it's May. No way last week was April 15-21.
Ugh. I had to change THREE dates! One I had stamped directly onto a card. One was an easy fix.
What the heck?
I'm on track now but I have no idea how that even happened.

I always intend to come update here with my spreads because I know there are some people here who aren't on instagram, but then I usually end up checking here while I'm at work and I can't link instagram there. Anyways, I've completed through April 14 and I've shared through April 7, so not too far behind. I need to do my WITL album and have a travel mini I want to do soon too, though, so I'm not sure if I'll fall behind again. Here are the last few weeks I shared. The last week of March, using the SBTM kit from Ali Edwards. I've really loved these kits this year. https://www.instagram.com/p/C6bNHZHpQI6 A process video on youtube: youtu.be/7ruvmEsBFZMThe first week of April, using my stash, but mostly Cocoa Daisy + old Studio Calico. https://www.instagram.com/p/C6lgShpojDN A process video on youtube: youtu.be/Freme1-J1gg

OMG. I LOVE LOVE LOVE the June kit.
The suns! The days of the week cards. I haven't even started May yet and I want to skip ahead.
Or maybe I'll go finish up this last week of April/first week of May. My photo paper just showed up.

Except I hate the suns (with faces) but I love the rest of the June kit.

I have a dilemma. I am doing a weekly PL album. I have the last week of January with absolutely no pictures. It was a time where I was working 7 days a week and a minimum of 10-12 hour days. I think at that point I had worked 19 straight and pictures were the lasts thing on my mind. Do I skip that week completely in my album or do I acknowledge it with the story of why there are no pictures and put some 3x4 and 4x6 cards in there that represent my life then? I'd take a picture of my office and my bedroom. Then I'd print out 5 each and label them with each weekday. Then I'd do a journal card listing the hours I'd worked and slept that week. Finally, maybe a journal card for the weekend and anything I did or how I wound down after a tough week or list of things I had to catch up on.

May is just Ho hum. Nothing “wrong” with it just not very inspiring. My first week of May ends tomorrow. I just went through my stash and pulled out a few cards, papers, and embellishments to match. I'm glad there are only 4 weeks. It's really tough to stretch these kits to 5. Last year's WITL kit (or maybe it was the year before that) matches really well with the May kit. I had a lot of the cardstock die cuts leftover like a sun, a cloud, and a wine glass. All the same color scheme. I had some Felicity Jane stuff to match. If I need alphas or labels, I know where to find those so I'm not pulling out any just yet.

The next few weeks in my album... https://www.instagram.com/p/C6yYRNzNfv1 https://www.instagram.com/p/C68rbPNNSv7 And the last one on my youtube: youtu.be/9dJ8Bnwh44EI have process videos for all of my spreads on youtube if you're interested. I spent some time last weekend catching up in my album, so I have finished everything except last week/this week. I will share them on my instagram/youtube soon. Honestly, the editing to share process takes way longer than the creating process! I think because I've been doing this project for so long, it's easy for me to get a few spreads done in a short amount of time. How is everyone else's project going?

Embellishing help needed.
There is nothing small/consistent from the sbtm kit this month that I can use across several photos. I'm going to put all my journaling in one 4X6 card. All the spots are full with something. I don't want to use label stickers.
What would you recommend I put on a few of the photos for a little somethin somethin?
I've already done half circles. I just am at a loss for ideas.

The next few weeks in my album... Love these! I really like your clean and simple style. I really love lasteve1 's fabulous clean style pages as well. So much so, that I now want to get rid of all the PL 2024 pages I've done so far, and re-do them the same! 😫 But when I think about how many hours I've put into it...... maybe I'll just wait for PL 2025. And I also love your pages blemon. I wish the two of you hadn't shared your pages, then I would still be happy with mine hahaha!! (Kidding.... keep sharing!)

I just am at a loss for ideas. Do you mean the May SBTM? What about the word phrase strips in the kit + white and/or black word phrase strips from your stash? As a side note, it won't let me do the "quick quotes" thing anymore to respond to multiple people in one post. Is that gone now? Or is there a new way to do it?

Don't redo your pages though! You can always switch your style spread to spread, though. I definitely adjust week to week depending on what I'm working with and who is inspiring me at the moment. Years ago when I was still working on my style in Project Life (although I'm always working on my style in project life!) I challenged myself to do a week inspired by a specific crafter and then would switch it up each week. I picked people with completely different styles and made them work for me. I remember I did Kelly Purkey and Julie Fei-Fan Balzer for two of them, and their styles couldn't be more opposite.

Or as lasteve1 said, word phrase strips are great for this. Also, the quick quotes for multiple people isn't working for me either (I'm using Chrome on a Macbook). It might be a glitch so maybe it will start working again?
