Project Life: October 29 - November 4, 2012...

 Thanks so much for all of your kind words on yesterday's blog hop post!  I really had a lot of fun working with Jessica's new stencil!  There will be more stencil hops coming up - click here to see a complete schedule!

Now - on to Project Life! 
Here's my Project Life spread for October 29 - November 4.  It includes a trip up north, a birthday party, and an announcement!  I am using my Noel Mignon "Student Council" kit as my main kit to work from for this month, along with bits from the Project Life Clementine kit...
I used one 5 x 8 insert this time, which holds the announcement for Mixed Emotions (my upcoming art journaling workshop with Marit Barentsen) from my blog.

Here's a closeup of the left side of the spread...
 Ephemera includes a postcard from my trip up north, a room key folder, and part of my dental reminder postcard. 

 Here's the right side with the insert showing...


and without the insert...
 The November calendar is another freebie from Owl Barn.  Ephemera on this page includes packaging from my new Dylusions art journal.  The birthday party card is from October Afternoon's Cakewalk line. The striped flair badge was plain, but I added the word "sun" with stazon ink to personalize it.

 Last but not least, here's the left side, with the back of the insert showing...
 I took advantage of the extra space by putting a few miscellaneous photos from the week on the back of the insert.

I'm toying with the idea of splitting the layouts up by month next year, rather than sticking with the weekly format.  Like, having a intro page for each month, and then filling up pockets as I go until the month is done - more freeflowing.  Not sure - have any of you tried something like this? 

Alrighty then - that's it for today!  I wish you a wonderful Saturday!  Thanks so much for visiting!
