Monthly Moments -- February

 

Well, I finally got my Papertrey Ink order and was able to sit down

and complete my Monthly Moments spread for February.

 

For the left hand side, I created a collage of photos in Picasa and printed

them out as a 6.5x6.5" square, which I adhered to the back of my January full page spread.

 

I added some Basic Grey Persimmon patterned paper and some sweet blush cardstock along the bottom, under my journaling and added some pure poppy cardstock that I diecut

using the largest heart from Reverse Confetti's Love Note dies.

 

For the right hand side, I used a page protector that has two 3x4 pockets at the top and a 4x6 pocket

at the bottom. These are separated by a 1.25x6" pocket in the middle.

 

 

At the top, I created my own journaling tag in Word and printed it out on vintage cream cardstock.

I added a thin strip of red cardstock to it.

I diecut the journaling card and my photo using my new PTI Journaling Card 1 die.

 

I'm almost embarrassed to let you read all of my injuries from February... It was a rough month!

 

For my month, I used my new Papertrey Ink February die that I cut from pure poppy cardstock.

I layered it over some Basic Grey persimmon patterned paper-- we hardly saw any birds this

month, but I had to include these sweet little guys on my layout!

 

For my bottom pocket, I diecut part of the Basic Grey patterned paper with the Journaling Card 1 die and trimmed out the rest with my paper trimmer.

To this, I adhered my photo (also trimmed out partially with my Journaling Card 1 die)

and some journaling I'd printed out on the computer.

 

I'm really liking this Monthly Moments album and find that, so far, it's enjoyable, doable

and not stressful. :)

 

Thanks for looking!
