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!

  7. In line with my observation, after a foreclosed home is offered at a bidding, it is common with the borrower to still have the remaining unpaid debt on the loan. There are many loan companies who seek to have all fees and liens paid back by the next buyer. Nevertheless, depending on specified programs, rules, and state regulations there may be a few loans which aren’t easily sorted out through the exchange of financial loans. Therefore, the duty still falls on the customer that has received his or her property in foreclosure process. Many thanks sharing your opinions on this blog.

  9. One other thing I would like to talk about is that as opposed to trying to fit all your online degree lessons on days of the week that you finish work (as most people are drained when they return home), try to arrange most of your classes on the weekends and only 1 or 2 courses in weekdays, even if it means a little time away from your weekend break. This is really good because on the weekends, you will be far more rested plus concentrated with school work. Thanks a bunch for the different recommendations I have acquired from your web site.

  14. I?m impressed, I need to say. Actually rarely do I encounter a blog that?s both educative and entertaining, and let me tell you, you’ve got hit the nail on the head. Your thought is excellent; the difficulty is something that not enough individuals are speaking intelligently about. I am very pleased that I stumbled throughout this in my seek for one thing referring to this.

  18. You actually make it seem so easy with your presentation but I find this matter to be really something that I think I would never understand. It seems too complicated and extremely broad for me. I’m looking forward for your next post, I will try to get the hang of it!
