Project Life

[blestmom]

My "Project Life" album arrived this week, and I've just finished getting caught up. 2 weeks were easy because we just got back from Disney.

Is anyone else doing the "Project Life" album this year?

Is that the new take on Project 365? I haven't really decided if I'm doing anything yet.

Are you doing paper or digital?

I am still doing Project 365 but in a 3-ring binder with my own "stuff" since I have so much to use up..

I am finding that this year is more of a "chore" and I hope that changes soon.

I believe it is. I didn't do Project 365, so this is my first attempt at trying something like this.

I'm doing paper? I'm not really a digital scrapper.

I received mine the 1st week in Jan and it is still in the box I did it last year and my kids love the book. I am having motivation issues and camera issues - -I need to carry a small camera in my purse if I want to keep up with it. Maybe I can just start Feb 1 this year.

I think I miss JESW threads!

I looked at it, but decided I didn't neeeeeeeed another $40 kit to sit in a box and look pretty.

I have an extra P365 kit, so I'm trying to do it again this year. I LOVE last year's just because it's so neat to see how DS changed! I'm trying to stick with it this year, but it seems like I forget more! If I didn't keep a camera in my purse, though, I'd never get it done!

OK so I went back and looked at the Becky's blog again. Project life is really close to what I did last year. I bought a CM picfolio album (just slide the pics and journal cards in) and filled it out. I'd like to do it again this year but I just don't have any energy.

What I really want to do is one for each kid, I think it would be cool! But, do I really have time??

That is a great idea! I know I would not be able to keep it up daily, but what about a one or two page layout per month? That seems doable.

 

[BernardandMissBianca]

I was thinking of a month in the Life of.......

That way the pressure is off to do pics every day. The kids love to take pics though so I may end up giving them the camera one or 2 days a week to take pics.

Buffy, do it monthly!!!
That is why I chose something similiar to Project 12... so I'll do a monthly recap!
I'm already a month behind..but that is an easy fix!

Ok, off to see the ticker at the bottom of the tv to see who's releasing kids early.. so far NOT us! Roads are wet.. not sticking yet...but the lawn is covered again where it was clean!

I bought one of the Project Life kits to stick on the shelf and re-visit in a few years. I was afraid if I didn't I wouldn't be able to find the album like that when I wanted it.

But I'm not doing 365 this year. I haven't done a layout for January yet, but I'm planning on doing Project 12. I'll still scrap other stuff, but the monthly layouts will be a way to capture more of the day to day life that I liked about 365.

 

[blestmom]

That's a cool idea to do a layout a month. I think there are lots of different directions this kind of album can take. I had not heard of the Project 365 before, so the concept is new to me (therefore, no burnout from trying to keep up...yet!)

I'm trying to look at the little details in our family...our home, things we do, etc. I don't want it to be a stressful thing...I hope it doesn't become so.

OT - BlestMom - your trip report is fantastic!!! I did get to Alaska back in 84, and loved it. My college roommate lived in Anchorage, and we had a chance to travel to so many beautiful places. I can see why you love it so.

Thank you!

Yeah, I do love it. Long ways from Disney, though...

I'm trying a Project 365 this year. Several friends did one last year. I'm already a little behind on taking photos! I'll make up for it at Disney...

 

[BernardandMissBianca]

Jem don't worry about being behind. there were days I only took 1 pic a week, so I filled in with other pics that I just loved but didn't have room for.

My girlfriend and I are doing Project Life this year. I wanted to do it last year, but found out about it just a little tooo late. So far so good. Every Sunday I print the pictures and do the journaling. I have to admit though, my life is just not that interesting. Mostly the same ole same ole. So I try to mix it up with things that inspire me that particular day.

Oh and lots of pictures of my DD and DH and thief (Family dog) stealing things. LOL!
