Project Life

I have been working on several different projects lately, one of which is Project Life.  I originally started out doing the digital version of this project and although I enjoy digital scrapbooking, I quickly realized that I would much rather do this album in the traditional form!  I guess my husband got tired of listening to me saying that I should have ordered the kit, he surprised me with it!  :)  I felt like a kid in a candy store! :)

Here is my cover page:

Switched out the 4 journaling/filler cards for individual pictures of each of us!

Used rub-ons for my title and added floss with a flower and a button to add a little bit of interest to the title page.

This project might seem a bit overwhelming but here is my approach towards making this a fun project.  These are also a few of the reasons why I din't want to continue the digital version.

• I am doing a monthly review, not a picture a day.  I thought this approach would help alleviate any unnecessary pressure of trying to take a picture a day.  
• I am adding additional pages, monthly recaps and even traditional layouts.  
• I am including embellishments and incorporating stamping techniques whenever possible.  
• I am also including digital overlays on my pictures.
• I will be switching out the original Turquoise album to a We R Memory Keepers 3 Ring Binder.  I didn't care too much for the quality of the original album.
• This project will not replace my traditional album however this year I will only concentrate on adding special events pages to my family albums and as well as to each child's album. 

This is a great way to get your family involved in helping you to document your everyday life.  I am very fortunate that my family supports my hobby so they are always on the lookout for picture ideas along with saving memorabilia for me.    

I hope this will help others who are on the fence about undertaking this project.  It is a great way to document everyday life!  I will load more pages soon...life keeps getting in the way of my hobbies! :)
