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!

  1. Based on my research, after a foreclosures home is offered at an auction, it is common for the borrower in order to still have some sort ofthat remaining unpaid debt on the mortgage. There are many loan companies who aim to have all service fees and liens repaid by the following buyer. Even so, depending on a number of programs, legislation, and state laws there may be several loans that are not easily sorted out through the exchange of personal loans. Therefore, the obligation still rests on the client that has obtained his or her property in foreclosure. Thanks for sharing your opinions on this blog site.

  16. One important thing is that when you are searching for a education loan you may find that you will want a cosigner. There are many scenarios where this is correct because you may find that you do not use a past history of credit so the financial institution will require that you have someone cosign the financial loan for you. Interesting post.

  28. Throughout the awesome scheme of things you actually receive an A with regard to effort and hard work. Where exactly you actually confused everybody was in the details. As they say, the devil is in the details… And that couldn’t be more correct in this article. Having said that, permit me inform you just what did deliver the results. The writing is actually quite convincing and that is probably the reason why I am taking an effort to comment. I do not make it a regular habit of doing that. 2nd, despite the fact that I can notice a leaps in logic you come up with, I am not really confident of how you appear to unite the ideas which in turn make the actual final result. For right now I will yield to your point however hope in the future you actually connect your dots much better.
