Project Life Tuesday

I am so excited because I am finally caught up with my 2011 Project Life Album. Last week I did a video showing you my album up to that point because it would have taken forever to take pictures of it all. This week I went back to taking the traditional pictures but beware: there are A LOT of pictures in this post. The biggest reason is because I included a lot of extras in the album for the month of June and so there are a lot more layouts. Also, keep in mind that my album is more of a monthly album than a weekly album so I included a lot of photos from a family reunion we had this month instead of just a few. I am loving our album so far and I have had several people compliment me on it which makes me even more proud!

The first layout for this week is just a standard layout. On the next page I included a page protector that holds 3 4x6 photos and used it to place some of our anniversary pictures on the front and then on the back two pictures of my Aunt and Uncle from Washington State that were in to visit. I am going to add some journaling into the middle spot.

I also included some regular 8.5 x 11 page protectors and stitched around them to included our anniversary cards.

One of my new favorite page protectors are these that I found at Michaels. They hold 10 pictures and then there is a spot in the middle that is the perfect size for a customized title. I made the title using some regular cardstock and letter stickers. On the back I included my journaling. These are definitely a new must-have for my albums.

Another normal layout, I'm still documenting the family reunion at this point.

A normal layout on the left and then on the right is another 6x12 layout that has a 6x12 photo that I cropped of my little cousin. I included another picture on the back.

On the back I used the extra space to add a very basic layout using some of Becky's coordinating paper that came with the kit and then 3 pictures from the reunion. I used another 6x12 page protector and did the same thing again and it gave me a ton of space for more photos that I wanted to add.

{You can see the back of one of the page protectors and the front of the other.}

I also included some 8x8 photos in the album.

These photos start my normal layouts again. I included pictures of the house that we are having built, lesson planning for school, and the Facebook comments I received when I posted that I had been offered a teaching job.

And then this is where I am now.

I sent more pictures to the printer today to be picked up and I can't believe that at the end of the week another month will be completely documented. Half the year is over people! Have you been documenting it?
