Nothing super crazy this week. Just stuck with the Honey Kit again. We played outside quite a bit, lots of shots of ordinary life this week.
Bottom left pocket will be a flip up page. The two images on the inside of flap are below.
I love these little hands, so proud of his creations. I love his half-worn off tatoos on each arm. I love that he names each one of his lego creations (yellow journal card). This kid rocks.
I had lots of photos from our walk downtown last weekend to check out the flooding of the Grand River. I used Design H (basically half of Design A) to add as an insert.
This week, the new Honey Kit went live at AC Digitals. Just like Kraft, it's full of bright, fun colors and designs. Its a perfect fit for us since the majority of my documenting is centered around a 3 and 4 year old. Here's what I came up with this week:

I mentioned last week that I've jumped on the "Vine" bandwagon, and will be using this app to capture some quick videos throughout the week to add to my PL layout. I put together all the videos into one and created a QR code, so I can scan right from my phone when I'm looking through my album. Here is the video from week 15:
Easy Peasy!

Lots of rain this week...as you may have seen in the short video. I grabbed a screenshot of my weather app during all the storms. Blachhhhh! I found my cute little Aunt Pat in an old Navy commercial this week too, so I took a pic of the tv and added the commercial in a QR code.
I love the rainbow of colors in this weeks layout! This Kit is just too fun! I'm linking up with the Mom Creative...Want to see more PL goodness??? Click over there!
Last week was spring break, so we kind of laid low around here. We had the cousins over for a sleepover, then Dan and I took off for a wedding in New York on Friday.
I also tried something new this week. I downloaded the Vine app and joined. At first I wasn't sure if I liked it or not, but I think I will be using it more for documenting rather than "sharing". The concept: It allows you to record six second videos...either one consecutive video, or quick snips of videos all looped together. It's like IG, but all videos.
I gathered my videos for the week and put them all together into one using Windows Live Movie Maker , then created a QR code (Left side). Photos are great...but playing back video and hearing those little voices makes me melt. Here is my first attempt: (there is no music...just the audio from videos)
Moving on...here is the full spread:

There are weeks where I go back and forth about how I feel doing 100% digital. Some weeks, I really miss the tangible cutting and assembling. Others...not so much. This is one of those weeks where digital just worked. This layout came together very easily. I love being able to include screen shots of the route we took to NY, the QR code with video, etc...However, I have a few things I wanted to include in an insert (wedding invitation, and photo strips from the photo booth at the wedding)
Front: I'm going to use design J and cut it down to hold a few wedding shots and the invitation.
Back:
In case I didn't mention before, I'm still printing everything out at Costco and inserting the photos into pockets for my Album. Rather than printing everything as a photo book, this allows me to add extra things if needed, and I have the flexibility to use inserts. (I've had a few people ask :)
I'm linking my PL update over at the Mom Creative. Thanks for visiting!
