Welcome to week 10! I was so excited to incorporate a bit of the MIDNIGHT edition to this week. I still used my Seafoam edition just added a few new colors. I LOVE how well they go together. I chose to go with B&W photos for this one as most of the pics were pretty busy and I love how simple it looks this way. 
When you have littles around they often tend to copy the things you say and I have been noticing this a lot lately. Porter started saying, “In this house we…don’t say that, eat our veggies, etc.” and I know I say that a lot so I decided to make a little card to insert into my PL layout.
This week I only added a few chipboard letters, one strip of washi tape and a button. I am loving the cards just as they are. SO CUTE!! 
I love the black & white photos. You’re so good at putting everything together!
These layouts are awesome! I really need to start printing more pictures in B&W they look great!
Interesting to see all b&w pages, thanks for sharing them. I love Liz’s designs (Midnight( too.
.jpg)
Here is my week 9 layout and it is a very SIMPLE layout. I again had a hard time trying to cut down the photos for this week so I just used them all. I am still using the Seafoam Edition and this layout was my quickest one yet. I only added a piece of lace with the flowers, a few chipboard letters and made a tiny banner for the journalling card. I love the simplicity of Project Life.
Someone asked me the other day why I don’t journal very much and I realized I have never added that often I will journal more and include it after the layout has been posted. I tuck them in behind photos, write on blank cards in the layout and I also have other pages that I do not post. I love sharing ideas and getting ideas from others but there are still parts of my life that I want to keep private. Nothing crazy- just small things that are personal to me. I appreciate all of your kind comments and love hearing your PL tips and stories so thank you for sharing. It is so fun to find new blogs to check out, especially those with Project Life inspiration!
I love the simplicity of your PL. In fact simplicity is my OLW and I’ve been striving to achieve that in mine. Your photos are stunning.
I can totally understand you adding journaling later for privacy, you share so much already.
I love to bake, I love to cook and I love spending time with my boys! I have so many recipe books in my cupboard but a few of my favourites are …
-The one my Mom gave me when I went away to college. Our family recipes from growing up
-The one Tom’s Grandma gave me filled with her family recipes
- Barefoot Contessa books by Ina Garten. I love them ALL!
-Our Best Bites
-Family reunion cook book from the summer
I am always adding notes in the margins of my recipe books and updating them as I find tips and tricks that make the recipes even better. Growing up I enjoyed looking through my Mom’s recipe box and seeing her handwriting and my Grandma’s handwriting on the cards. Something about it just reminded me so much of them and fun times we had baking together.
When I saw Becky Higgin’s mini albums I knew I wanted to make a recipe book with all my favourite recipes and a few pics of food and family! How awesome is it that the Project Life cards can be typed, handwritten or both!
I love how darling the olive edition cards look and have wanted to use them for a while! Having 2 boys I tend to make my family project life a bit less feminine but I figured I can make my recipe book as pink and flowery as I want!! 
These albums are on sale until APRIL 5th, 2013! Go check them out here on Becky’s blog.
They are darling and I am so excited to use them for birthdays, trips and so much more!!
Love it
Love it Ashley!!
I wasn’t very tempted by the mini albums until I saw this! Such a fantastic idea. How did you print on the cards? Did you have the digital version or did you print on the actual card?
Hi Laura,
I actually have typed on both actual and digital cards. With the actual cards I use a very simple method. I type the recipe in photoshop in a 4X6 or 3X4 blank file. Next I print it in a fast draft (to use less ink) on my printer on a regular sheet of paper to see exactly where it is going to print. Then I adhere my journalling card to the paper on top of where it printed with a small piece of double sided tape and run it through the printer again! Hope this helps
That sounds like a great method! I might give it a try.
This recipe book is DARLING! I need to get all of my favorite recipes together in one book…. one of these days!
Love this idea – I am addicted to cupcake making and making fancy ones – great idea to put in a mini album (I keep all the recipes and photos) great inspiration! Leanne

Week 8 was exciting as it was Grayden’s third birthday! Usually I LOVE decorating for birthdays and go all out with banners, hanging streamers, balloons and a fun party theme. However, this year we are simplifying our lives. Since we had company we decided to spend the Saturday sledding in Waterton and roast hotdogs and marshmallows as those are Gray’s fave foods right now and we never have them!! I used those pics for last weeks layout and since his birthday was on the Sunday I decided to write about his birthday the next week. 
We opened presents when we got home from Church on his actual birthday. He was so excited to get a new bike and couldn’t wait to ride it around! Then we got packed up and headed down to the lake for the next few days to continue the birthday celebrations as Tom had time off school. I included a yearly questionnaire of things about Gray. His answers are written word for word and still make me smile! I asked him what his favorite thing about him was and he replied, “because I’m awesome!!” 
I also included an 8X10 insert with pictures of him. My first thought was to have a large photo on each side but I couldnt’ choose just one so he got all 3! The photo above shows the 8X10 on top of the right side of the layout.
Here is the full layout with the 8X10 flipped over to the other side. This is one of my favorite pics of Gray taken in the fall. For the winter vacation card, I used one from the digital files of Sea foam and typed my journalling in a text box on top of the card. I love how it matches the rest of the cards but is just a little bit different! It would also work to type your journalling on the card, round the corners and adhere it onto the seafoam card to achieve the same look..jpg)
Great layout! Adorable faces!
Great pages and I especially love the wood grain background!
So cute Ashley, I can’t believe that Gray is 3! His new bike was big news around here…. All three of my boys told me about it!
Here are my week 7 layouts. I have noticed lately that I take an outrageous amount of photos. Between my camera and my iphone I snap a lot of pics! Thank heavens I do my instagram collages so I don’t have to worry about editing and incorporating those too! I load my photos from my 5d as often as I can and sort through for the first time just to remove the for sure NOs. Usually each month I edit only the very best shots or the shots that mean something to me out of what is left and leave the rest in an unedited file stored on my external hard drive. That way I don’t feel like I am deleting moments in case I want them later and no- I am not a photo hoarder, just sentimental right
Here is the first page and the right side of the insert.

This month I was sifting through photos trying to decide which ones made the cut for the PL album when I came to our day trip to Waterton for Gray’s birthday. There were over a hundred photos and I loved almost all of them! ok- well a lot of them! I chose a few and started on the layout. I found myself constantly swapping photos for other ones and the whole layout looked way to busy. So I added an insert. This allowed me to add the rest of my FAVORITE photos from the day and not feel bad about the ones that didn’t make the cut!

I’m so happy to see Brenda and I made the cut… though a little sad to see that a single shot of the perfect marshmallows didn’t. Just kidding. Love it!!!
This looks awesome with so many photos and the simple black and white elements to set it off! It looks like you guys had such a fun snow day!
These look super. Really love the big title acrodd the centre so very cool and effective. Also really like the way you have stuck to the simple B&W cards etc. Really well done.
Petra
Wow Ashley…you’ve been BUSY!! Fun to see all your amazing photos! All darling!
I am the worst at narrowing down photos. Every week has an insert or two. love this
