In Your Pocket Tuesday: (April 5) Banning Lane

Hello scrappy friends!! This is Dannielle here today with a Pocket page spread to share with you.

I am not usually a chronological, “up to date” scrapper… except for when it comes to my Project Life® album. It is just the sort of project I like to keep current. This winter has been pretty tough for my little family. At any given point one, or all of us were sick. As much as I wanted to be perfectly caught up with Project Life® it just wan’t possible. So now I am several weeks behind and I need to play that awful game of catch up. My plan of attack is to keep it simple, don’t over think my choices, and to pick only the photos that best tell the stories of our everyday life just as it is right now.

For my week 11 I decided to take keep it REALLY simple. I made the choice early on to use only white card stock for my whole spread. I don’t know that I love it, but I definitely don’t hate it. After I had my cards cut and in place, I went through my stamp stash to find a phrase that went along with each story I wanted to tell. I loved all the color in the inspiration piece, so I decided to use a different color of ink on each card. To add a bit more interest, I use foam adhesive to pop up each stamped phrase, and also layered them on top of some super cute polka dot vellum.

Even though it is overly plain, and not something I typically do, I love that I have one more week in my album. Check out my process video if you want to see how this whole spread came together.
