PL 2014

Hi there and thanks for stopping by!!

It just came to my attention that I have totally neglected sharing ANY of my PL for this year!! I am currently sitting on week 27 - photo's and cards in, just gotta do the journalling and the "bits" :)

But I may as well start at the beginning and decide as this post goes along how much I shall share today!!

Here is our cover page for 2014 and I LOVE this - one of my most fave PL pages I have ever done!!


Since putting this page together I have added a bit to it - those 4 photo's along the middle are actually on the outside of the pocket and create a flip :) On the inside of the pocket there is a little journalling card with a little about each of us written on it. I have added magnets to the back of the photo along with a pretty piece of paper to cover the magnet and a tab (for easy lifting) and also a magnet to the back of the journalling card. Oh, and the cards I used here are from the Maggie Holmes edition of PL - I LOVE it!!

Here is week 1


Again using the bits from the Maggie Holmes edition and some papers from the Flea Market collection also by Maggie :)

Here is the left side


That "choose happy everyday 2014" was a free printable by Heidi Swapp and led me to choose my OLW for 2014 which happens to be CHOOSE :)

And the right side


I totally love design E this year!

Moving right along here is our week 2


I have used bits and pieces from the Amy Tan Ready, Set, Go collection.

TBH I wasn't 100% happy with the flow of this page but it is done!! 

Here is the left


And the right


Not a great deal to say except looking back at these pages makes me miss Summer as I sit in my craft room listening to the rain and wind!!

Week 3 - which was a pretty big week as my biggest little guy celebrated his 4th birthday so my 1st insert for the year!


Left hand side


And with being true to our lives and the everyday stuff, yes I have written there that the day of Jacob's birthday was not a fantastic day - that in fact, the highlight of the day was them getting milkshakes - not any happy birthday stories this year though he did enjoy opening his presents!!

Right hand side


I can't believe how much my 2 little men have grown in the 6 months since these photo's were taken!

Here is the front of our week 3 insert


I had so much fun putting this insert together when I finally worked out what I wanted to do!! That big 4 is a Freckled Fawn veneer number and I just used some paper from a dinosaur collection I have here for the papers on the insert.

And the back - the party with a couple of flips :)


What a cake!! It was HUGE but DELICIOUS!! And Jacob LOVED it! And has asked for it again for his next birthday!!


I have enough time before school pick up for 1 more week so here is week 4


I used a Simple Stories range here - I'm sorry I can't remember what it's called but if you would like to know just leave me a comment and I can find out :)

And the right hand side


Oh, I am really missing summer now!!

Front of our insert - another busy week!!


This insert was done over the Aussie Day long weekend - this is ALWAYS a super busy time of year for us - we have a birthday a day between the 24th and the 28th so normally LOTS of parties, gatherings and of course the sky show when we can manage it!!

And the back


That red card looks a little blank and I think my plan was to go back and do some journalling but I totally forgot!! Haha!! Oh well, it's in there!!

Thanks so much for stopping by and thank you Agnus for your inspiration and your gorgeous pages!!
