Project Life - First Day

Hello all :) I am back with another project life update. A quick snapshot of our whole week.  Avi started school, we went to the museum, the park, played around at home - mostly average stuff. 

I cut a new set of polaroids for project life.  These are available in my Etsy shop as well, if you'd like to check them out :)) 

My favorite thing by far was this quote from Avinash about carpool.  And, of course my new Elle's studio number stamps.  They are so fun to use and such a great size for project life and layouts (affordable too)!  I added airmail washi to some ledge pp and these surf thickers for contrast.  Ryan and I have laughed and laughed about him crying over carpool two days in a row.  Is that wrong?  :))

I used a lot of full photos this week.  Often I haven't liked that look in the past, but it seemed to work this week.  I used a random smattering of things to title/journal this card running down the side: yellow+grey letters, white poster paint pen, an ormolu moments little label, and a Martha label.  I took this photo from our bookshelf ladder.  The floor is messily covered with toys and the picture is grainy at best, but I love that it shows our life.  Or, a very happy slice of it I guess, since they usually don't play together this happily for long.  But that's okay.  I'd rather remember and focus on the good.

I broke down and got some of the cute stationery at anthro this weekend.  Immediately it found it's way into the album when we got home.  Hand drawn notebook paper and a stack of neon Happy Notes. I love how she is trying to write with a pencil and he is doing another museum chemistry experiment. I think I somehow missed putting this in the past two weeks, but we have gone faithfully each week almost all summer.
A note about writing on photos in white. I can never get those signo white gel pens to work.  AC slick writers would work for one day and then clog.  I switch to a white sharpie poster paint marker.  It works great so far.  I ordered mine off amazon I think.
Otherwise, nothing special.  I used lots of photos, thickers, journaling tags+snippets, a few Eclectic stickers.  When I start feeling a little self conscious about including so many pictures of myself, I just remember embrace the camera.  Plus, my husband is very proud to be the photographer of note, so it works out for both of us :))

 Some washi on the card about Nandini stacking up my washi tape. It's good for her gross motor control I guess.

I hesitated on using this tag for a while, but this day really did feel like the best.  

 And, I already feel like doing another week of this project. Time to print out pictures. Let me know if you have any questions.  Linked up with The Mom Creative for Project Life Tuesday.  The PL kit I am using is the Clementine kit. Thank you so much to everyone in this wonderful community. I love all the feedback and looking at everything people do each week. It definitely keeps me motivated. Also, please include a link to your projects in the comments so we can check them out too!
