Practical Scrappers Blog Hop: Project Life

***Keep Scrolling down to the next post to see today's Inspired by Pinterest creation!***

Hello and welcome to the PRACTICAL SCRAPPERS and SCRAPTOWN LADY Blog Hop!  So glad that you stopped by today! 

 

I LOVE Project Life and I simply use it for Project 365, Picture of the Day.  Meaning that I take one picture per day that makes it in our Project Life album.  At the end of the year, I have an album full of 365 of my favorite pictures of every day life and some special events thrown in there too!

 

I currently use Becky Higgins' products.  This year I am using the Seafoam Kit.

 

So here is my basic process and one of my layouts of pictures I took back in January.

 

I have to start the week with Sunday...it's just natural for me!  I normally will do all 4x6 pictures, with some Instagram picture thrown in this year, because I now have a smart phone!  Hello 2013!

In all of my scrapbook pages, not just project life, I use my own handwriting.  There is something about handwriting...it's part of a person and I want my kids and future generations to know that part of me.  I could pick my Grandma's, Mom's or Dad's handwriting out anywhere.  It's a special connection!

My daughter is 4 years old and she loves being artistic.  This is so much a part of our every day life that I have to add in her creations!  I slip them into an 8.5x11 page protector.

Sometimes I will have a lot of art work for a layout.  This week I just chose 4 pictures!

I mentioned earlier that I have started to use Instagram pictures some of the time.  When I have a 4x4 Instagram print, I take a 4x6 blank grid card and use a little washi tape on each side to give a little decoration!

 

Some weeks I will had in stamps and embellishments more than others...this just wasn't one of those weeks!
