Oh yes, moving week.
This layout covers a massive week for CJ and I. We moved ourselves and I swear upon all that is holy, I will never ever do that again. It didn’t help either that we only had a week from the day we found out we were approved to the day we took possession of the property.
This was also a new beginning for me as I received my first Studio Calico kits. It took me awhile to figure out how to incorporate certain elements of the kits into my spreads. Filler cards were particularly challenging because I felt like I didn’t have enough space for all my photos and journaling, let alone a cute card.
I love this card. Partly because my dear friend cooked dinner for my whole family, on a week I was struggling to make cheese toasties. Mostly though, I love the simplicity. It’s one of the few hand drawn accents in the album too.
The Studio Calico kits introduced me to new techniques. This was my first attempt at misting. It’s a very simple silver mist through a chevron mask. I do like the effect.
I will let you in on a secret, I know there was a huge fuss over this filler card and everyone was after it, I am not overly taken by it. I jumped at the opportunity to use it because it is not often my two favourite people are in the same photo and it matched my colour theme.
Project Life Week 7.
