The 6x6 Print

I am only a year behind on our family album, not too bad right? Of course there are countless other projects that I would like to conquer (darn you Pinterest!). For now, I am trying to stay focused before these memories are forgotten!

Journaling is my greatest challenge. If I don't get my words down fast, I have a hard time remembering the details behind the story. Thanks to Project Life, journaling and story telling are becoming a little easier.


I have been having fun with the Project Life Design E page protectors. This is a 12x12 sheet (created by Becky Higgins) separated into 4 6x6 pockets. Perfect for those photos that you don't want to leave out, yet there aren't enough to fill an entire page.
In the example above, I used iPhone & Instagram highlights from bike rides in 2011. It's fun to go back and see the trails we conquered, and thanks to a little app called Strava, I could start getting really crazy and include our biking stats!
After creating these templates for myself, I figured that I should share.
Hope you can use them!
Of course being the "Persnickety" person that I am, I would hope that you are not printing at home! (unless you are using the most archival ink; which also requires the same branded archival paper)
At Persnickety Prints, we don't use ink. 
Our print process is unique. 
Using chemicals, light, and software that reads your color profile, your image is embedded into the paper. This is the most archival and vibrant form of printing. You don't believe me? Check out our waterproof test

Fathers Day Printable

When I was a little girl my Mom use to tell me that the best gifts were the ones that I made.
I didn't believe her, but have now found this to be true!
Some of the most rewarding times of Motherhood are the little coloring pages, love notes, and home made gifts that a child makes.

I have all boys. They aren't crafty, and they don't care about staying in the lines. So when I get a little love note, it's extra special!



Last Mothers Day, my son Ryder's pre-school teacher helped him fill out a Mothers Day questionare. It was the best gift of the day! I was 60 years old, my dress size was 60, and I also weighed 60 pounds.
Kids say the funniest things!

For Fathers Day, I have created a similar 8.5x11 printable for the Dads or Grandpas in our children's lives.
Have your son or daughter fill it out on their own, beware, it may suprise you! More importantly, it will make the day of their Dad or Grandpa.
