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!

  14. Thanks for the posting. My partner and i have always observed that the majority of people are eager to lose weight as they wish to appear slim plus attractive. Nonetheless, they do not continually realize that there are additional benefits so that you can losing weight additionally. Doctors declare that obese people are afflicted by a variety of conditions that can be perfectely attributed to their particular excess weight. The great thing is that people who definitely are overweight as well as suffering from different diseases are able to reduce the severity of their particular illnesses by simply losing weight. You’ll be able to see a gradual but marked improvement with health when even a negligible amount of fat reduction is accomplished.

  17. I have really noticed that credit score improvement activity really needs to be conducted with tactics. If not, chances are you’ll find yourself destroying your rating. In order to be successful in fixing your credit score you have to be careful that from this moment in time you pay your monthly expenses promptly prior to their planned date. It is really significant because by definitely not accomplishing that, all other moves that you will take to improve your credit rating will not be successful. Thanks for discussing your concepts.

  31. The other day, while I was at work, my cousin stole my apple ipad and tested to see if it can survive a thirty foot drop, just so she can be a youtube sensation. My iPad is now destroyed and she has 83 views. I know this is completely off topic but I had to share it with someone!

  36. I’ve noticed that repairing credit activity should be conducted with techniques. If not, you are going to find yourself destroying your positioning. In order to reach your goals in fixing your credit history you have to confirm that from this instant you pay your monthly expenses promptly prior to their timetabled date. It’s really significant given that by not necessarily accomplishing so, all other steps that you will decide on to improve your credit standing will not be helpful. Thanks for discussing your strategies.
