PROJECT LIFE AND ME

You might remember my mentioning that I had decided to join in with PROJECT LIFE, after looking on from the sidelines for so long.

I made that decision while I was in the US which was, technically speaking, Week Three (assuming that I was starting on Jan 1, which I decided to do knowing that I HAD some  photographic evidence of those first two weeks).

I did buy a few some ready made 4x6 and 3x4  cards especially made for pocket scrapbooking, but on actually making a start to my pages I soon decided that I could easily use my existing cardstock and papers  (I have a bit of both, you know ;> ). I have been using 6x6 pads, which are perfect as the 'matching' bit is done for you!




I have used my SILHOUETTE to cut out the page markers and printed some of the sentiments directly onto blank cards.




Weeks one and two only warranted a page each...I reckon this may happen quite often, so I'm not worrying about it.....

Week 3, however, took up THREE pages..plus a mini-insert I made by just cutting up one of the pocket pages.





You will notice I've not got to grips with photographing PL yet!...in saying that the light's not been so good here today.

I won't be boring you with every week of PL, but I thought I would share my approach- such as it is!

After my first panic attacks trying to work out photo orientation, I am actually enjoying this ..and finding time to just do a little bit here and there.

Hope your week is going well.....I'm back to SERIOUSLY trying to lose weight , having gained almost a stone of what I had originally lost and tomorrow's my first weigh-in...I'm hoping for a loss because I have been good(ish) since last week!

Thanks for dropping by!
Take care of you
Alison xx

  3. It's looking great already, even at this early stage. And like Deb said, fun to see people in your photos that I have also met!

  4. I'll bet your final decision was at least somewhat influenced by one or more persons in those photos of week 3! And what a great start you have. I have finally come to terms with the fact that as much as I admire everyone ELSE's Project Life pages, I just have zero interest in attempting a weekly or even monthly chronological recap of my life. And I think I'm finally okay with that. I have so many other things I'm working on right now anyway.

  5. Hooray! I love the way your pages look, and I'm so happy to hear that you are getting into a groove with it. Makes me so happy to see some familiar faces. And I love that you included Denise on TV! :o) I wouldn't mind seeing your spreads every week, just sayin'. xo

  6. Your pages look great! I think 6x6 pads work really well because their smaller scale of pattern goes better in the smaller pockets. Easier on postage too ;-)
