Since the start of the new year, I’ve been deliberating over how I should approach my Project Life album this year. Should I stick with 12×12? Try out the new 9×12 album size? Go digital? Or should I just skip Project Life altogether this year? I quickly decided that the last option was out because my husband and I LOVE looking through these albums each year. Even though I don’t have an entire year complete, the memories I did record really capture our day-to-day life in a way that layouts and other scrapbooking projects cannot. So, I decided I’m going to tackle this project once again but I’m going to change things up to keep it fresh and interesting this year. Recently I’ve been super inspired by the way Annette Haring and Pam Baldwin use digital supplies to create beautiful pages. After reading about their processes and giving it a lot of thought, I’m taking the plunge and creating my 2015 Project Life album digitally! I’m really excited to learn and try something new this year. I’m also going to approach this project monthly rather than weekly so I have more flexibility in my pages.
Earlier this week, I sat down to create my title page using the Project Life App on my phone and some digital supplies from Studio Calico and Ali Edwards. It was so quick and easy that I decided to keep going and guess what? I’m completely caught up with my 2015 album! In just two and a half days, I did all of January and the first half of February. I created 8 pages in total and just sent them off to Persnickety Prints to be printed. I absolutely LOVE creating this way and it’s so much faster than my usual paper process. I also love all of the great digital supplies that many companies are selling now so I feel like I have plenty of variety to create new pages each month.
Here’s a look at my title page. Clean and simple. And I love it!
If you have any questions about how I created this page, feel free to ask in the comments. Also, I’ll be sharing my January pages tomorrow so please stop by if you’d like to see them. 🙂
