Hi! My name is Jennifer and I am guest blogging about my project life album for the month of October! Last year I used a traditional 12×12 album but this year I downsized to 6×8. Here it is!

 On the left, I included some embellishment from a diptych no. 2 journaling card by cutting out the “morning scenes” circle and adhering it to the plastic sleeve with a foam dimensional. On the right, an element from pictures+words vol. 3.

 I had a landscape photo from brunch that I really wanted to include but I didn’t want to take up an entire 4×6 slot so I used a card from pictures+words no.6 to accommodate it into my page. On the right I used an element from pictures+words no.7 and instead of adding the date like I had originally planned, I typed in a few words in photoshop.

 Some quick journaling on the left and another element from pictures+words no. 7 that I recolored on the right.

 In the photo above, I did something new for my album by overlaying a journaling card onto my photo. I wanted to incorporate the “magic” journaling card from the magic hour so I played around with it in photoshop to find a way to include it. I placed it over my photo but left a small margin around the sides (so it would look like a border) and decreased the opacity of the card until the photo underneath showed through. I did the same on the right with the “evening scenes” journaling card from diptych no. 2.

 For the mint chocolate chip ice cream photo, I added an element from pictures+words no. 7 to make the picture more interesting. On the right I used the “Tuesday” label from writer’s block vol. 2. I had a blank space so I went with a diptych journaling card that I used as a filler card.

 At the start of each new month, I use an entire side of a 6×8 page to include a photo representing that month with the corresponding month tag from the 2013 calendar kit. See how I also used it here for June. I always look forward to doing these!

 A journaling card from fairytale, an element from pictures+words vol. 3 and the magic hour.

 And finally, elements from pictures+words vol. 3, pictures+words no. 7, and a recolored and transparent tag from we to document a trip to Ft. Lauderdale.

 Thanks for reading and letting me share my project with you!
