I seriously feel like I got tricked out of a weekend. I was so busy… But, I managed to get my PL Week 5 done, thankfully. I had to do part of it late Saturday night and the rest between church and Super Bowl on Sunday. *whew*
Before I get to Week 5, I want to show you a quick revision to something I did last week. Remember I mentioned that I like to include news stories, so last week I included the passing of Joe Paterno? Well, during the week, I came across some cute digital journal cards by Plucky Momo that are perfect for this, so I changed my news story:
{BEFORE}
{AFTER}
Here’s the whole collection – go check out all of the cool kits HERE:

On to Week 5:
Since I used a black and white title card this week, I used multi-colored stickers for the date. And since February is the month of love, I used a little heart clip 🙂
I made myself get in front of the camera a few times this week. I’m not a fan. But I promised myself that I would take at least one self-portrait each month, and these turned out good enough I suppose….
I didn’t take a picture on February 1st, but I did kick off a Valentine’s Day blog hop, so I used the button from my blog as my picture that day. Also this week, I used a 4×6 journaling card to document my Saturday because it was so crazy. It included a hair cut and color, so…another self-portrait in the book! (Done with that goal for February – nothing like killing two birds with one stone!)
I used an insert this week as well. I cut a 12×12 page protector in half – it originally had room on each side for 4 – 6×6 images. I am using half of this page protector to include a note from my daughter and 3 images from my Scavenger Hunt Sunday challenge.

I was asked to do a tutorial on how I do my journal cards since I use Avery labels, but honestly, I ran out of time. So, I PROMISE I will do that for you next week. I’ll even share my template with you so you don’t have to make your own…cuz I love ya!

Tomorrow, come back here to One Tough Mother. I’ll be “Showing Some Love” and hosting my usual {Not So Tough} Tuesday’s linky party! WOOT WOOT! 🙂
