Here is a Project Life layout I did for April using two sizes of page protectors. The left side is the standard Becky Higgins page protector. I used two pictures, three journaling cards and a receipt for my son’s purity ring. The right side page protector is by Making Memories (I think), and I purchased them at Michael’s.

I have since ordered these page protectors to use with both portrait and landscape oriented pics. I printed journaling off my blog and some photos from our 25th anniversary weekend… Read More
I’ve talked a little bit about my scrapbook organization and actual ways I scrapbook purposefully yet simply. For the last four years I have done Project Life is the perfect plan for those who don’t think they have enough time, money, creativity or desire to be a scrapbooker yet want to document their family’s life. I won’t go into much detail… Read More
Below are pictures from a scrapbook layout I did several years ago for my S. I was thinking about this today on her 14th birthday and wanted to share the thoughts I expressed many years ago.
