Project Life - Week 3

Sorry it took so long to post Week 3 but I have fallen a bit behind with PL. It seems to me that the life of a new mom is pretty boring. Maybe not so boring but definitely monotonous! Seems like every time I start a project Little Vin wakes up! Don't get me wrong I absolutely LOVE being a mommy to this precious boy but with Daddy working double shifts mommy doesn't get much time to herself! I brushed my teeth today...Right?!?!?

It's all in the Cards

Happy Superbowl Sunday everyone! This year's festivities didn't go on as planned.  We usually go to a party at a finds house but the weather didn't cooperate.  We had a light dusting of snow here in NYC so the hubby was called in to work the night shift. Poor guy has to miss the big game! That means that the little man and I are home alone missing daddy :( I'm not a big football fan so that means it's more of a Law and Order kind of day now!

Thought I'd share a couple of cards I previously made but never got a chance to share!

Mommy's Little Man

Eat.Sleep.Poop.Repeat...I'm sure all you mom's can relate! Staying home with a newborn sure has its moments. The days all seem to blend together at this point. I really can't complain though. Baby Vin hasn't quite slept through the night yet but I feel like we are making progress. He's only been waking up once for a feeding then goes right back to bed. (Thank God for small miracles) During the day he takes his naps in between feedings and playtime. There's absolutely nothing in this world better than his face looking up at me and cracking a sweet smile! I've been told by almost every mom to "sleep when he sleeps" but for some reason I just can't! There's always a pile of dishes to be washed, clothes that need to be folded or  craft supplies calling my name(lol)!

Those of you that have visited this blog may have seen my Project Life pages. I'm so excited to be able to use this process to document all of the little moments of our life as a new family.  However, nothing gives me more satisfaction than completing a traditional 12 x 12 layout!

I took this self pic with my iPhone, hence the grainy photo. Even though it's not a high quality photo, I fell in love with it!

   

                                           

I used the Pebbles Family Ties Collection for color inspiration (patterned papers, sticker embellishments) along with some flowers, brads, punched hearts and journal cards.  For the title I used American Crafts Burlap Memo Thickers.  

As you can tell I like my layouts to be symmetrical and use mainly geometric patterns. For my next layout I plan to branch out and get in touch with my artistic self! Can't wait to share it with you!
