Project Life

I love to scrapbook, but just do not have the time to be as creative as I would like to be with each page.  I have looked into and even tried a few digital options, but creating each page takes just as much time.  I came across this blog, which introduces Project Life and I have decided to give it a try.  More information can be found on the website as well: Project Life.

I wanted to make things as easy as possible, so I ended up ordering Project Life products.  But, it can easily be done with photo album pages and scrapbook paper.  I have decided to do a general family album for 2013.  Each week I am taking little notes and saving specific pictures using both Evernote and Memento apps.  Then every Sunday I order and pick up the pictures I want to use.  One day a week during nap time I am putting the pages together for the previous week.

January - Week 1 & 2

I know that there will be some weeks when nothing exciting really happens, and there inevitably will be weeks where there will be a lot.  But, so far I have completed the first two weeks of January and am happy with the way it has turned out.   I am even thinking about trying to get caught up with Braden's 1st year scrapbook using this method.  I may be ordering the baby edition from Project Life soon.

Week 1 - close up

Week 2 (just missing one photo)

I love that the process is almost as easy as putting together a photo album, with a little more creativity like scrapbooking.  I can be as detailed or as simple as I want to be.  Here's to being able to do something I enjoy in 2013, with out taking too much time!!
