Week 33 *October Afternoon Guest DT*

Hello and happy Friday!

I'm sharing my pocket page album spread for Week 33 on the October Afternoon blog today.

I used the Public Library collection for this spread and I go into full detail about how I documented this week on the OA blog so I hope you'll head on over there and check it out.

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you have a great weekend!

Week 28

Happy Monday, friends!

I was editing photos last night on my computer and found my spread from Week 28 hidden amongst some random photos so let's just call this the "lost week", lol.

Anyway, here's a look at my spread...

I used some older Studio Calico PL kits on this week's spread...summer was still in full swing so I opted for bright colors and fun embellishments to accent the season and my photos.

I need to start including more "currents" lists in my spreads so that's the next little challenge I intend to tackle as I catch up on about 10 weeks of PL this week ;)

Ahh...we were still in Kansas and it was still summer during the week of July 7-13, so sharing this spread is a little bittersweet for me.  Especially since it's been cold and rainy the last few days back home here in Illinois.

Left Side: 

The "Home Is Wherever I'm With You" filler card is a free printable I found online here.  It comes in several colors and can be resized for any project.  I printed mine off on watercolor paper and misted it with some yellow spray ink to coordinate with the colors of my spread. 

Right Side:

I journaled quite a bit on this week's spread and layered lots of asterisk stickers across my pages for some pops of aqua and green. 

We said goodbye to some friends we made at the campground and I got a slightly decent picture of the super moon this week.  The kiddos and I spent a lot of time at the local pool and had a soap and water fight during a random car washing one afternoon.

And here's the full spread for Week 28...

Thanks for dropping by today...I hope you have a great Columbus Day!

Week 32

Happy Wednesday!

I have my PL spread for Week 32 to share with you today...

 Left Side: 

Week 32 was the last week we got to spend in Kansas.  We packed up so we could head back to Illinois so the kids could start school.  It was one of the best weeks we spent out there and it's so hard to believe that we've been back in Illinois for almost two months now. 

I used the October OHDEERME kit from Freckled Fawn for this spread along with some Studio Calico PL cards and older Freckled Fawn items from my stash. 

We spent most of the weekdays at the Louisburg Aquatic Center and ended the week at one of the Royals' games...Go Royals!!! (I think we might have brought them some good luck this season ;)

Right Side:

I used the right side of my spread for our Royals game photos.  We had such a blast at the game and I wanted to include some of my favorite photos in this week's spread.

The October OHDEERME kit from Freckled Fawn is perfect for your next pocket page spread or layout so be sure and grab yours today.

Have a great day and thanks for stopping by!

Week 29

Happy Wednesday, friends!

I'm a little behind posting my PL spreads, so here's a look at Week 29 using the September OHDEERME kit from Freckled Fawn.

Left Side:

I used a ton of bright, summery colors for this week's spread.  I added a few pops of black here and there using some wood veneer alphas that are available in the September ODM kit. I used some black acrylic paint to color them.

Right Side:

We spent some quality time with the kids this week by taking them to Paradise Park in Lee's Summit, MO.  We made a whole day out of it and finished it off with a stop for ice cream.

I layered a lot of stickers and embellishments directly on top of my photos and journaling cards.  I love mixing up the ODM kit contents with other manufacturer items because they always seem to go well with EVERYTHING :)

The October OHDEERME kit goes on sale today so be sure and grab yours while they're still available...they go fast! 

Have a great day and thanks for dropping in!
