Project Life 2015 Week 1

I wanted to post my project life pages on the blog weekly but was a little behind getting some pictures printed to finish some layouts so although it is almost March, I am ready to show you some layouts. 

My layouts are pretty basic compared to many seen on the internet. There are a few reasons for that. First, I think it is more important that I try to stay as current as possible so that I do not fall too far behind and get discouraged. Also, I am helping beginners get started on project life and I like them to be able to see how easy it is and that it does not need to be time consuming. It literally takes me longer to upload my pictures to walgreens than it does to put my pages together. 


My title page for 2015. 
 The plan was for a family picture to go in the bottom left spot but since we have yet to get everyone together to get one, it will probably more than likely remain how it is. 



Week 1


My title page and week 1 layout uses mostly cards from BH Favorite things.  One of the things that I am really trying to get past this year is worrying about my handwriting. I hate my handwriting but if I have to computer journal or even type everything it will never get done. I did use the typewriter on the weekly little tags and plan to use it more.

Got Pictures?

Do you take lots of pictures?  With the convenience of having a camera on almost every cell phone now, more and more people are taking even more photos then ever before. You don't need to remember to bring the "good" camera with you to an event and even every day ordinary photos are being documented.  Now here is the question, what do you do with those photos after you take them? Do you put them on facebook, instagram or twitter?  Maybe if they were cute or funny. Do they get uploaded to your computer or backup hardrive with thought of printing some of them some day? How many actually get printed so they can be looked at in the future? 

Scrapbooking used to be pretty popular but you needed lots of time to make a layout just right, or needed the perfect photos to use and your average snap shots and life just didn't make the cut to put all that time into. 

That has changed! 


Your everyday life are things you want to remember. The cute fun stuff your kids do, or the places you visit with your spouse. Maybe even just the traffic jam caused by a gaggle of geese crossing the road! (yes, that did happen to us just last week, my son didn't find the irony of them honking at the cars nearly as funny as I did)  The Project Life style of scrapbooking will get those photos off your phone and into an album so that they can be looked back upon even after you have upgraded to a new phone.

And it is EASY! Really EASY! And it doesn't take much room, supplies or money!  All you need to get started is an album, protectors, a kit and your photos. That's it! You can embellish more if you want but it's cute enough without the need for more and your pictures will be treasured like they should be. 

Wouldn't it be great to look back in 10 years and see how much has changed, (or stayed the same!) 
Let me help you get those memories out of your phones and computers and into something you can hold and keep.

New Project Life Products available!

Some of the project life items in the catalog were not supposed to be available for release until August but Stampin' Up! has said they are available now!

Look below to see the new project life items available to order!! I absolutely love Project Life. I am getting so far behind in actually putting them into my albums not because it is hard, but because my craft room is still packed up and I can't get to anything!!! It is driving me crazy. But the good thing about project life is that it will not take long to get them in and caught back up. I still upload all my photos every Sunday for the previous week and have them printed. Then pick them up and put them in a baggie with the week number on it so they will not need separated when I get around to them.

I love this way of scrapbooking!

Stampin' For the weekend

My SU Project Life stuff is on the UPS truck for delivery! I hope he gets here in time for me to be able to at least open it and look at before I have to start out on what seems like a million errands. The excitement for this still has not worn off. I am sure this is the most excited I have been about a new product in forever. That may change Monday when I get to see the new annual catalog in person thought. I can't wait to go to that! It will be my first ever SU event. 

Since I still don't have any new projects done while my stamp/scrap room is being worked on, I thought I would bring you a challenge. The challenge blog Stampin' For the weekend has a pretty easy challenge this week. The challenge is Buttons and Bows. Create something and make sure you use, buttons, bows and some form of stamping and you are eligible to enter the prize they are giving away.  There is also another pretty easy challenge for this week at CraftyCatz. It is an anything goes challenge so you can pretty much do whatever. Try to take some time to stamp this weekend. Stamp some extra for me since I can't. I am hoping to be able to show you my stamp room next week. I forgot to take any before pics because it was sprung on me kind of unexpectedly. 

One last reminder that today is the very LAST DAY for FREE SHIPPING. 


Take advantage of this wonderful offer and if you use hostess code
GYRR7FTM, I will send you some extra goodies including some of the enamel dots from my last post.
