project life

One of my Christmas presents came today and I am so excited to get this. This sucker is huge and packed with goodies.




Even took a photo of me with it to send to the creator of it. She asked okay?

I scrapbook pretty much the same way as I have for years. Lot of fun embellishments and different elements on my page. That is the fun part of scrapbooking and the reason why half of my room is a store. I have a problem I know.

But since I am having a hard time finding the energy and time to sit down and use all 6 boxes of photos, I thought a simpler way was in order for the meantime.

Enter Project Life.

Simple.

Photos and journaling your story. I take pictures every single day. I want to document our daily life not just events. I'm known for not plastering Xmas photos in my scrapbooks. It's the other stories I want to tell and the memories I want our kids to have.

Here's an example of what the pages will look like. I can include tickets, papers, blow up photos to 8.5 x 11 and include them as well. The album is still 12x12 which I'm used to.

I am very anxious to get started. The kit has everything I need. No adhesive. Just slip in photos and journaling.

I may take a photo every day and document it. I might do a page for every week. I could just use all the photos I have now. I can do whatever I want with it and that's the beauty of this kit.

So next year will include a lot of scrapbooking both ways I enjoy it.

That looks great! I am so far behind with my photos - there is no hope for me!

I took a look at the tour of the project life and I really like it. This would totally make a great gift for Christmas. I may do this next Christmas for my mother-in-law. The hard part is not wanting 50 for me, lol. I think this is a very simple, enjoyable method to preserving the memories. But I can see why you have the dilema of liking this and feeling like the store (lol) that you have would be a waste. Good idea to do both :)
