Home Is Where Your Story Begins
I wanted to share some of my ideas for using social media to scrapbook with Project Life. On the layout below I combined a picture taken when we visited our son Joshua at college with one I scored off his facebook page (oh yes I did!) with pictures taken on his week long mission trip to Vietnam. A couple of students uploaded pics from … [Read more...]
You might be asking, what happened to Project Life? Well, you're probably not but I'll tell you anyway! I have been failing miserably at keeping current with my pages. In the past I have gotten behind a week or two because I normally print my pictures every 3-4 weeks. With all the blogging I'm doing I am not staying current. My plan is to … [Read more...]
Today's Project Life layout was fun to put together with less photos and more memorabilia and journaling. Both pages share some "out of my comfort zone" moments. The left side layout has a couple of pics from my adventure singing from West Side Story again. What fun to sing with "my" Tony from 28 years earlier. I also included some … [Read more...]
This week's Project Life layout from October is a fun one, filled with lots of details as well as pictures. The left layout is a pic and journaling from our Corn Maze adventure, a stub from a massage and blog journaling about my journey through grief. One of my favorite ways to document my Project Life album is with words from my own … [Read more...]
Went on a scrapbooking retreat this weekend and got caught up with my Project Life pages! I was about six weeks behind and it took me a while. Note to self: don't get so far behind! The good thing about it was I had all my memorabilia and pics ready to go. I just had to decide on type of page protectors and themes for the week. Here's a layout … [Read more...]
I am terribly behind in my Project Life memory keeping this year. Although I'm fairly up to date with getting my pictures edited and developed, I have not gotten them in the album. I also have much of the memorabilia together so it's a matter of choosing the page sizes and orientation, printing off some blog journaling, and I'll be on my way to … [Read more...]
Just a quick Project Life layout to share today. This year I seem to be working on the album in spurts, usually a month at a time. I would like to be more consistent but I'm staying current with taking pictures and collecting memorabilia. Sometimes that's just good enough :-) The right side is more of the picture a day idea. I loved taking a … [Read more...]
This week's Project Life layout is from September and is all about my youngest son M. As you can tell I don't use his name on my blog. He is our youngest of three adopted siblings, and we want to allow him some privacy as we did for our older kids when I began my blog journey. The layouts are a celebration of all that is my youngest son. He … [Read more...]
I'm doing Project Life a little differently this year so instead of a picture a day I'm grouping pics by week. The layout I'm sharing this week contains pictures from my blog. The left layout contains a pic of my no bake chocolate oatmeal cookies, den makeover, jewelry organizer, blessing jar, and easy enchiladas. I love having a layout of … [Read more...]
This week's Project Life layout centered around my son Joshua and his move-in for sophomore year of college. The left side of the layout has hand written journaling as well as pics of my son and the oatmeal packets we made him for college. His seminary does not have a cafeteria so I try to send him some homemade frozen foods to make sure … [Read more...]
