Project Life In 2018

Hola Crafty Friends!! Thinking of trying out this style of scrapbooking, this year. It’s called “Project Life”, where you basically create along the way as life happens. So printing out pics immediately or right after it happens, and adding a bit of journaling to explain the pics on the pages, and any type of embellishments too!!! I thought it would be perfect since I have both printables and physical stock to use. I found it easier and fun to be able to journal via computer, and then have it printed out. All pics were printed on my printer, and then I cut out each according to the size of the sheets. The album and photo sheets are from Fun Stampers Journey (www.funstampersjourney.com/jenyoung). Each set of Pocket Photo Pages comes with a “size map” that shows the size of each photo pocket, so I know what size to print each photo (scroll below to see a pic of what I am pertaining to). Then I print on a 8-1/2 x 11 glossy photo sheet, and cut the photos out. I love the set of photo pockets that FSJ offer, they have several packages, with a variety of photo pockets with different layouts.

Page 1 - Starting this album with pics from our Annual Family Winter Trip to WA

Pages 2 & 3: I cut out some digital elements from Doodlebug Digital Designs, and adhered them to random photos.

The album that I have here is a black album, sized at 6” x 8”. It also came with 10 pocket pages. There are 2 rings in the middle, and easily pull apart to add/remove paper or pocket pages. As I create these pages, I know I will be adding more “here n’ there”... it’ll be fun!!!

This page is incomplete!

Here is page 4, it’s incomplete. I still need to journal and add embellishment(s) to this page. Will post it again, when I get done with it.

Products that I used from Fun Stampers Journey are:

• Black Licorice Journey Days Album - JD-0016
• Variety Packs of Photo Pages: JD-0019; JD-0020 & JD-0021

As promised, here is a picture of the “size map” that is provided on one of the pocket page sets...

Recipe Book Using Project Life Pages

Aloha and Happy Saturday!! Wanted to share a project I am currently working on... I'm using Stampin' Up!'s Project Life 6x8 Album... and project life pages... but I'm using it to make a recipe book of dishes that my family and I love to eat!! It's a work in progress, so I will share the pages as I create them...

Here is the album: Still thinking about how I should decorate the front of this album. The cover is a paper like material, so maybe I'll put a paper pieced project, and seal with decoupage. I dunno. We'll see.... any suggestions??? :)

Here is the first page, and a cover page at that! I printed the title, and I cut out the utensils from Little Scraps of Heaven Design's "Cooking Up Some Fun". This set has all the great cuts that would go well with a recipe book!!

Here is my 1st recipe page I created... I used most of the project life cards, and for the adorable bear, I cut out from the same cut file. The pocket size is only 3-1/4" x 4-3/4" so I had to work with small pieces. Turned out pretty cute!!! 

Here is a close up of the adorable bear...

Thanks for stopping by!!! I hope your day is a blessed one!! Aloha, Jen

Project Life Digital Scrapbooking of Pics From My May Stamp-a-Stack Class

Aloha All... got a chance to do a digital scrapbook page today. Have been meaning to complete this one for a while now. Finally got to sit down and work on it. Well, here it is, pics taken of my crafty lady friends during my May Stamp-a-Stack card class. It was such a fun day. These ladies are such joys to hang out with, and I am just truly blessed by their company.  I thank the Lord for awesome friendships that I've found in the craft world.

I used a Becky Higgin's Project Life Template and Elements. Super easy and fun to create. I wanted to add more elements. But I think less is good enough. I got lots of pics on this page, and was even able to add in some journaling. :)  Thanks, Project Life. 

Stampin' Up! has Project Life, but no longer in digital format. I wish they still continued the Project Life digital elements part, because I would totally make use of it. 

Thanks for dropping by today!! May your day be blessed!!!

Aloha,
Jen

Stampin' Up! Project Life Digital Pages

Aloha all!! Hope you had a wonderful Mother's Day weekend.  I was blessed to have the weekend spent with some crafty stampers..... I met Dawn Griffith of "Dawn's Stamping Thoughts", in real life... it felt like "old friends" catching up with what was going on in our lives.  I'm so proud of her, of where she's at right now with Stampin' Up!.  Truly amazing what the Lord has done for her!!! 

With all the pics I took this weekend, I thought that I'd put together a digital page using Stampin' Up!'s Project Life digital kits. Project Life is pretty much the "in" thing right now. I'm happy that they have "PL" available for digital capabilities.  I am using Photoshop Element 8 to create my digital pages. Here are 2 pages I created using Stampin' Up!'s "Every Day Adventure" digital downloads. Template is from Becky Higgins.

This download is currently 30% off regular price.

• You can find the Everyday Adventure Digital Download here! 
• Photoshop Elements can be found here!

Thanks for visiting! Have a blessed day in Jesus!!!
