This week's Project Life covers the week of November 7-13th. I am in my 12th week since starting this project and I have three weeks (since i started) to still "make up". Two from September, and one from October (Halloween week). I think overall that's pretty good! The key is definitely to stay current and go back when you are able to make it up.
This particular week was a big week for us-- todd and i traveled to New Orleans for my cousins wedding, while the kids stayed at home with my sister-in-law. The challenge was creating a PL spread that was representative of BOTH todd and i AND the kid's week cross-country! Here's what I came up with:
I obviously had plenty material from our week in New Orleans,but for the kid's week at home I had to get a little creative. My sister-in-law was great to take a few pictures of them with her iPhone and send them to me to print. Also, my friend took a photo of our daughter's at ballet class that week as well and she sent me those photos. Don't be afraid to use other people photos in your Project Life!
Other "found" items I included was a wrapper from some treasured Halloween Candy and some school art work from Jonah. The found items I included from our travels included a hotel room key, tour tickets, and a postcard and brochure from a WW2 museum we toured.
As I mentioned earlier, i took TONS of photos on this trip, and actually took quite a bit of iPhone photos. I thought it would be neat to display a few of my iPhone photos printed by Postal Pix in a 4x4 photo pocket sleeve by We R Memory Keepers. It is actually a 12x12 sleeve that i trimmed down to fit four photos (on each side).
I used quite a few of Elle's Studio Lil' Snippet tags for my journaling, and also I love the 11-11 tagf found in the Autumn Large Journaling tags that I used for the title-- it was perfect for this 11-11-11 week! :)
I have received many questions about the manilla file folder tags I frequently use each week. They are made by 7 Gypsies, and I recently purchased them at Archivers. After looking around for i bit i am pretty sure these are the same ones I purchased. I use them every week and love them!

I just used that 11-11 tag this week too! :)
Hi Jenni,
Your PL album is GORGEOUS!!! I also love the clarity of your photography. You're really capturing your album beautifully on your blog.
I've seen lots of PL albums on blogs, but most lack clarity and have lots of unattractive glare.
Can you give me some tips on how to photograph my album?
