Project Life 2018: Week 20

 

An external hard drive which contained photos from the last 10 years failed about a month ago and it’s been crippling regarding my memory-keeping. I talked about what happened on Instagram so I won’t go into it again here, except to remind everyone: Please check your backups!

I’m creating with the current photos I have on my phone and what was left on my camera cards while I wait on whether any of my data can be recovered. The failed hard drive is now with a data recovery lab.

Anyway, onto scrappy talk… 🙂

Here is my spread for week 20:

I just received the gorgeous TN kit from Kelly Purkey and chose to use these cards for the spread. The cards in this kit are thick and good quality, but I find I don’t actually use them that much in my traveler’s notebooks because they add more bulk than I’d like, and I also don’t seem to use much patterned paper in notebooks anyway.

I stuck with the overall color palette from the TN kit, cutting down the papers to add color to some plain journaling cards. I added a few cards I had from previous Studio Calico kits to fill out the remaining 3×4″ pockets.

I wanted to tell the story of my hard drive failure (kind of a Big Deal!) but since I can be a little wordy and it wasn’t going to fit on a 3×4″ card, I chose to make a fun pocket to hold this story. I printed the text on white cardstock, sized to slightly less than 2 3×4″ cards and adhered these to the front and back of a colored 3×4″ card. I created a tab that I stapled on so it could be pulled from the pocket and stamped “Yikes/UGH” from some Ali Edwards stamps I had.

For the pocket itself, I cut out the gold “the worst” phrase from a 4×6″ SC card and sewed it onto a piece of vellum. I then sewed the vellum along 3 of the edges to the 4×6″ backing card to complete the pocket.

The embellishments are a mix of stickers (Studio Calico, Elle’s Studio) and wood veneer (Felicity Jane, Gossamer Blue).

I love the way this spread came out, even if it documented one horrible story!

  42. One thing I’d prefer to discuss is that weightloss program fast may be possible by the appropriate diet and exercise. Ones size not merely affects the look, but also the overall quality of life. Self-esteem, major depression, health risks, and also physical skills are afflicted in putting on weight. It is possible to do everything right and at the same time having a gain. Should this happen, a problem may be the offender. While too much food but not enough exercising are usually accountable, common health conditions and traditionally used prescriptions may greatly add to size. Many thanks for your post here.

  43. Thanks for sharing most of these wonderful threads. In addition, an excellent travel along with medical insurance plan can often relieve those problems that come with traveling abroad. Your medical emergency can rapidly become extremely expensive and that’s guaranteed to quickly set a financial burden on the family’s finances. Having in place the best travel insurance deal prior to setting off is definitely worth the time and effort. Thanks

  50. I have realized that over the course of creating a relationship with real estate managers, you’ll be able to get them to understand that, in every single real estate contract, a commission amount is paid. In the end, FSBO sellers really don’t “save” the percentage. Rather, they struggle to win the commission by simply doing a agent’s task. In accomplishing this, they shell out their money along with time to execute, as best they will, the tasks of an adviser. Those duties include uncovering the home via marketing, showing the home to willing buyers, making a sense of buyer emergency in order to prompt an offer, making arrangement for home inspections, managing qualification checks with the loan company, supervising fixes, and assisting the closing of the deal.
