Hey. It’s Caylee again. I’ve had a month full of adventure, and have enjoyed recording it in my Project Life album. However, my favourite weeks to record are still the ones where nothing really happens. Recording the “mundane” part of life makes it feel as though life is just as exciting as the times where you’re in another country. As though every day life is an adventure. This week was a perfect example. After weeks of touring Europe, it was nice to relax and have a bit of downtime.

Dates covered: 29 July – 4 August

Location: Bruchsal, Germany

Favourite moments: our impromptu six month wedding anniversary mini celebration, using the time out to be crafty, my husband pulling silly faces.

I still love putting my own handwriting over photos digitally.

My husband and I both almost forgot our six month wedding anniversary until my mom reminded us. We celebrated with a fancy Italian dinner, and cheap Venetian ice cream (Tiramisu for me, After Eight for him). I took a moment to appreciate the fact that we were walking home at 9 o clock at night, with the air still warm, and the sun still out. I love how Project Life encourages me to take note of these moments, which would have otherwise been forgotten.

Anything special: this week I tried to add more depth to the layout. I did this with washi tape, extra sheets, paper clips, and writing onto the page protector instead of just the photo.

I also recoloured many of the elements in my spread. It adds further cohesiveness to the spread, something I’m always after, and Liz has a great tutorial on how to do that in Photoshop here.

I added my own washi tape to the digital washi and found it blended quite well. I’m starting to love adding washi tape over the page protectors.

I cut 6×8″ out of a plain page protector, added thickers, and paper clipped it over my crafty photo.

Kit used: Downtime papers and elements, Pictures + Words No. 6, Presslines No. 18 (coming soon), Round About Now

Enjoy making adventures this month.
