Project Life

Well I did it! I made a commitment to a grand project, one of the biggest that scrapbookers can make. And you know what? I'm loving it! My commitment was to take a photo a day for an entire year. I love the idea of photographing and documenting the everyday things, the little things, that make up an entire life. You've heard the saying "Life is in the details"? I really believe that. It's the small moments that I know will give me so much joy when I look back on them. This will help me not forget, and help my children know how much we enjoyed their childhood with all the magical moments in it. Here are my pages so far. I have loved this project. I bought Becky Higgins very well made kit, it seemed to make this doable for me and actually comes out to be more cost effective. My time is so limited that this seemed the only way to go, at least for this year. I've added some dimension to my pages with buttons, tags, flowers and rubons. You can totally make page protectors pretty! There are other kits out there like Memory Works Simple Stories that I just love. If you want more info leave me msg cause I know a great little consultant who will get one into your hot little hands. ;) Any other Project Lifers or P365ers out there? How ya doing? Having as much fun as me?

Oh Angie, this is wonderful. I wish I had done this now but maybe next year. And I may just make my own version for a month or two, just for fun.

You make it look really easy and super cute!

Don't think we are gonna get any more online classes out of Lizzy, that girl is soooo busy now the the AC line~

Angie, What a great idea, I've heard of Becky Higgins, but had never seen her kit. You'll have to show us more.....
Did you get my comment I left for you? Remember I was asking about your IKEA cabinets, well I bought some and re-did my scrapping area. Check out my blog, I have a video, the quality isn't that great or the lighting. But if you scroll down there are all kinds of pictures. I'd like to know what you think, I ran with your idea as much as you can in a basement. Thanks for the inspiration. Shari (cricutrookie)
