Project Life

I know, I said I probably wasn't going to do it.... well, that I wasn't going to commit at least. But six weeks in and I am loving doing my own version of Project Life.

For me, that just means that I scrapbook a two page spread once a week with photos and journaling about the week, with minimal embellishments. So far I've just been using supplies I already have.

Here's what my week six page looks like:

A few things that are making this project doable for me:
1. Simple templates. I love the simple blocked design and how quick it is to just drop photos in.
2. My phone. A lot of the pictures I use are are taken with my phone, which has a pretty decent camera. I use dropbox to transfer the photos from my phone to my laptop in order to use them in my layout.
3. Sunday. I set aside some time on Sunday afternoons (or evenings) for doing this so it's become just part of my routine.

What I love the most about this is that I'm capturing and recording so many little tidbits... things that wouldn't warrant an entire scrapbook page, but things I want included in our family's story. I love that I finally have an organized way to record and document big and little moments of our lives.
