Some Project Life weeks are more daunting than others :)
I've sat on Week 21 for longer than usual, knowing that I didn't have many photos...knowing that I wanted to scrap it in purple (not exactly my go-to colour)...knowing that it included my trip to Sydney to see Prince and not really knowing where to start!
I dived headlong into my stash looking for purple...and not sure that I would find any! Quite by accident (literally!), I found several sheets of Kaisercrafts La Di Da Collection. If you've been reading my blog for quite a while, you may remember my youngest child had an unfortunate paint accident in a local scrapbooking shop, which resulted in me having to buy LOTS of paint-smeared paper :)
That paper collection is not only purple (because you couldn't scrap a Prince concert in any colour but purple!) but is covered in birds which look suspiciously like doves (Prince's song, When Doves Cry? You still with me?)
Problem solved!
When I started to write the journaling, I realised that most of what I wanted to say about the concert was already in my blog post from that week...so I printed the pages straight from the blog, adhered them to some more La Di Da paper, and included them as an insert. Too easy!
I did a quick Google search, and was thrilled to find the setlist from the concert that I attended...how cool is that? Now I can relive the night, song by song, any time I want to...YAY!
And that was Week 21....and the last of the La Di Da Collection from my stash. Do you ever get the feeling that some little accidents happen for a reason?

Oh yeah I remember that. Obviously it happened for a reason. Great pages, all documented to keep forever.

These pages are so great!! I loved your post about the concert, and I love how you were able to mix it into your pages. Those will be so fun to look at for years to come. Oh, and I love the purple finger nails!
Hugs,

Yay! What a great week to have. Love all the purple. I remember the paint incident - glad it had a happy ending!
Has it been good hoodie weather?
