2016 PL Week Twenty Three

Hi, and thanks for checking in! I'm back with my Week 23 PL spread. I am about a month behind (which is crazy for me!). I fell behind when I started diversifying my crafty portfolio to layouts and planning! (Also, life stuff and Pokemon...) But I am determined to keep up and make it through this year! Read on for info on this two-pager.

The left hand page is mostly just about a normal week. Work, workouts, and politics. I used the April Studio Calico Documenter kit and went with a blue and red color scheme. It came together pretty quickly and I only did a minimum of embellishing. I started with the word die cuts (loving, watching, wanting, etc) and then found filler cards to put them on. I hand-wrote journaling on two cards, made a simple title card, and called it done!

The right hand side is my FAVORITE! Probably because of all of the blue. This whole page is from a 3-hour trip we took to a beach at a lake a bit of a drive from our house. It was too much for an insert, so I just made it its own page. I added the filler cards with red on them to tie it in with the page before and I love it! My favorite part is the shaker pocket. I used my Big Shot to cut out an ampersand die and filled the pocket with bronze sequins. I thought the color combo worked with the sand and water theme. I sewed up the top with my sewing machine because I was too impatient to wait for my fuse to heat up!

So that's it! Just keeping it super simple and loving the results! Thanks for reading!
