Project Life: Weeks 4 and 5
17 Aug 2012
I was so bummed when my pictures took longer to arrive than I’d expected, because I was so pumped to work on this project. But they finally came, and once again I had a blast making a giant mess of our office (and then cleaning it up, of course). I didn’t do this intentionally, but I love how the background colors here are the same as those of the surface of the sun–it accurately represents our summer weather!
I love this picture of Eric as a rocket, and the documentation of my new computer and our summer of peppers. Nothing too special here, just some clippings from an art event we attended and some scribblings about the week. I do like using my circle punch for the date markers, as it gives the spreads some consistency.
Week 5 features some projects I did, but I lament that there are not more pictures of Eric here. However, that is coming up in Week 6! I experimented with wrapping some printed tape around a notecard for the main text, and I like how it came out. I may try this again in the future. I am happy that our fro yo place made the book, as it’s a classic summer treat. I’m still having so much fun with this project! Looking forward to all the weeks to come.

Can’t wait to see your book in person. I love that picture of Eric too; you have truly found your “Rocket Man”.

Yes, definitely! I hope all the pages will fit in one book, but if not, I’ll get two!

What do you mean waiting for your pictures to arrive? You had to have some developed? The scrapbook looks darling! You and Eric will treasure it for years to come!

Oh, yes, we don’t have a printer, so I was just having them developed locally, but I discovered that you get better quality from Snapfish. So I am always waiting impatiently for my pictures to arrive!
