It's December and I finally get around to show you some of my project life catch up!

In 2016, life was busy and I spent most of my creative time on travel albums (my favourite), on "special" projects (like Week in the Life and Day in the Life) and on watercolours. Thus, I sometimes neglected my regular Project Life album. Long story short, I'm still in Project Life catch up mode.


For April, I gathered my favourite pictures of the month (mostly friends & family, dinners, home photos, flowers...) and looked for some light coloured filler cards.





April was also the month in which my blog launched! For that purpose I had made an introduction spread about me in 6x8 that I included in my regular Project Life album:



And that's it! Another month in the books. Yay for progress and thanks for reading!

Welcome back to my March Project Life pages - part two! In case you've missed the first part, you can find it here.

In March I included the collage I made for that month's One Little Word class. It's a collage in 9x12 that visually represents my One Little Word which is minimalism. You can read more about that here. For the collage I adhered circles that I cut out of different magazines with my 2 inch circle punch onto kraft cardstock. The letters on top came with Ali Edward's One Little Word kit. I'm starting to feel that plus signs might be the symbol that represents minimalism for me.


I continued with my regular Project Life pages. As you can see, I included a lot of cards and elements form the Project Life Everyday Edition that I like lot.

In March, I had to take portraits of me for upcoming job applications and I joked around a little. In the end, I used the one at the bottom and it got me a job...!














March is in the books and my Project Life album is filling slowly but surely. My goal for 2016 was to only use one album, but we'll see how that goes.

Supplies I used:

• Album (gray)
• page protectors: these and these
• Project Life Everyday Edition chipboard stickers
• Project Life Everyday Edition core kit
• Cards form the Studio Calico Brimfield Project Life Kit
• Gold foil letterpress cards from the Studio Calico Odyssey Project Life Kit

It already feels a lot like summer in Hamburg (even with the occasional rain and thunder storms) but I just finished my monthly Project Life spreads for March... So here I'll show you some airy and spring themed pages with a lot of light green, transparencies, watercolour and a wood veneer rabbit... March was definitely a really good month.






For March, I made so many project life spreads that I decided to put them in two seprate posts. Check back again here to see the second part in the following days!

• Album (gray)
• page protectors: these and these
• Color Theory monthly tab stickers in gray area
• Printable calendar by Cocorrina
• Studio Calico Odyssey Project Life Kit
• Crate Paper Shine Carefree paper

February 2016 is in the books! I still really like the 9x12 format, but sometimes I feel that the pages can get a little too busy or not coherent enough. So for my February spreads I used one of my favourite 3x4 templates by Paislee Press to keep the pages together.

• Album (gray)
• page protectors: these, these and these
• Color Theory monthly tab stickers in gray area
• Printable calendar by Cocorrina
• Studio Calico wood veneer arrows
• Paislee Press 3x4 minimalist templates 
• Paislee Press XOXO journal cards and templates

These are the January pages in my project life album. As I originally started my album in 6x8, I cut up the 6x8 title page to fit into the larger page protectors. I really like how it turned out - Hamburg in January is usually pretty cold and gray so this layout fits the mood...








In addition to the 9x12 page protectors, I use these 6x12 ones to include some horizontal images and cards as well. Plus, I really like how it breaks up the album.
I tried to keep it simple and to only use my  favourite images of the month so I might end up using only one album for 2016 (and not 3 as for 2015)... We'll see how that goes!

You can see my 2016 title page here.
