The weeks are merrily rolling by and I am playing catch up with this project. As is always the way with PL, weeks with lots of photos seem to come together really easily, although I do enjoy the challenge of making a page out of not a lot!
Things I am loving this week: I found a lovely collection of new and free journaling cards to use on week forty three. I particularly loved that 'makers gonna make' wood veneer card. The sentiment was just perfect for the photos I wanted to use. I got the cards from this site. There are lots of wonderful freebies to choose from.
Techniques I have tried: I experimented a lot with opacity on week forty four. I really like how the 'you' turned out on the photo of the boy and me. I also experimented with using a smaller photo on a journalling card space. I did this with the photo of us having tea on the right hand spread of week forty four. I love how that turned our with the white matt on the flowery background.
Photos Documented:
Two weeks with quite a few photos. Week forty three documents the everyday stuff of that week which included a sewing bee with a sweet friend, gifts in the post and a birthday party. Week forty four basically documents two events. A day trip with the boy and a walk with friends. I love this about project life. The weeks can look so different but all those big moments and mundane things sit side by side.
Thoughts on the project:
I am really enjoying seeing my style develop this year. I think I have gone for a cleaner approach and I like it. I am ready to wrap this year up though. 2014 you have been great, but let's bring on the third project life album!

You are so, so lucky to have your university years so clearly and beautifully documented. The spreads look fab!
Gorgeous! Looove the opacity playing & off to check out those freebies....& happy 21st!!!!
Beautiful photos and pages. Particularly like the font you used for 'Walk in the Woods'. Would you be able to share where it can be found?
Such lovely pages. I always enjoy looking at all the little details that make these spreads so special.
Just lovely ... I have always resisted the idea of same-sized spaces but you fit in so much and make each look so different that I am quite converted! Mulling over next year too ...
It's looking great,Abi....so many memories you'll be able to look back on.
I always love looking at your PL pages. You inspire me with all the different techniques you try on them. Thanks for the link to that site - you're right, some wonderful freebies on there.
