The Messy Hair Gal

I hope you all had a great Thanksgiving weekend!

Two weeks ago, I posted about how I was going to tackle finishing up my 2017 project life album. I had every intention to keep up with this project throughout the year, but it quickly fell to the waste side. I always felt extremely overwhelmed with a bunch of ideas and never got them out of my head. That’s why I set up a couple of simple guidelines to follow and I gave myself 30 minutes to complete my weekly spread. It was nice to finally spend time playing with my supplies. An I was very surprised with how quickly it came together.

Here’s a look at week 43:

This week was full of fresh starts. It was the week leading up to the blog launch and I was focused on getting all of the last minute planning done.  I highlighted this by placing a picture of my calendar and a 3×4 project life card with my motto.  Looking forward to seeing how this week will looks like next year. 🙂

I got a couple of questions about the weather stamp during my last post and it’s from a old Studio Calico kit. Which at the time I am writing this, is still available on their shop.

I tried to create cohesion across the spread by placing the wash tape included in the kit on all of the photos. I also added the corkboard circles on a couple of the cards and I’m very happy with how it turned out. Again, it was about keeping it simple and getting it done. Could I have spent more time adding more stuff? Absolutely. But that wasn’t my goal and in the end, it’s good enough for me.

I look forward to sharing more completed weekly spreads in the next month. I will also share what my plans are for this project in 2018.
