I had a lot of fun putting the Week 6 spread together! Why? Because I added more than just photos. I wanted to include more of the little bits and pieces of everyday life. And just like Week 5, I didn't have a whole lot of photos, so I kept my eyes open for other things to include and I really am happy with the results. Below is a picture of the left hand side of the spread.
This week I felt really good! My cold was going away, I was able to workout again and I had a bit of a confidence boost as I ventured off on my own driving through some streets of Riga that I was a bit unfamiliar with. Okay...I wasn't all by myself...I borrowed a Garmin...but still...
I included a photo that my sister posted on Facebook of my nephew. My mom bought him a new pair of firefighter snow boots and he was so excited about it! On the "Say What?" journal card, I wrote the caption of the photo my sister had posted along with the photo.
The 4x6 photo in the bottom corner of the page is one I took of a scarf I started to knit. My friend Angela and I try to get together each Tuesday and teach ourselves how to knit. My Grandma Frantz would have been so proud. She used to try to teach me when I was little, but I just couldn't get the hang of it! I wrapped a piece of the yarn I am knitting with around the journaling box in the right corner.
Below is the right hand side of the layout.
Yogi Tea and Merrell boots...just two of my favorite things! Since I was lacking in the photo area, I thought the front of the tea box would be a good filler. I trimmed it down, rounded the corners and mounted it on a 4x6 piece of patterned paper from the Clementine edition. In the section below I used a piece of the inside of the tea box package. It has an AWESOME pattern on it! I just love the inspirational quotes that are on the tags of the teabags. I save them and thought that displaying them in a layout would be a perfect place to keep some of my favorites safe!
Another embellishment from a package is seen below. I trimmed the quote below from one of the flaps of the box that my Merrell boots were sent in. Isn't that a great saying?
I just had to share the photo below. Friday night Chris and I met friends for dinner in Old Town. We went to this little restaurant called "Steak & Beer" (such a guys place, right?). Hands down they had the best steaks in Riga, and not badly priced at all! Deb, Robyn and I got a kick out of what our husbands were wearing. They all had on similar colored shirts with half-zippers. It's like they called each other and told each other what to wear. Too funny!
Well, that was my Week 6. I am looking forward to Week 7. With it being Valentine's Day during this week, I am planning a LOVE-ly layout! Have a fab week everyone! Thanks for reading!
