Project Life is my preferred method of scrapbooking and I’m hoping to provide you with some useful tips for either documenting your own lives or putting together your own pages with minimal fuss.
Here’s what I’m going to emphasize with the layouts I share:
- The random stuff I like to capture and document for myself.
- The simple approach to Project Life that I take. There are a lot of photos and very little embellishment and journaling.
- The way I organize some spreads into themes or stories.
Capture Idea: Always with food.
Capture Idea: Taking a picture of fortunes from fortune cookies is the only way I remember to get them in a digital scrapbook.
Capture Idea: I got my car services, so a quick snap of the invoice and buzzer.
Capture Idea: Messy kitchen table.
Capture Idea: Messy desk. These simple things are what I think I’ll enjoy looking back on the most.
Capture Idea: More food.
Capture Idea: My cousin was using my house for temporary storage so I snapped some before-and-after shots of the storage area.
Simplicity Point: The center square is comprised of patterned paper with a scaled-down journaling card layered on top and offset.
Capture Idea: I humorously spilled a bunch of dirt in the trunk of my car. I like to include even the messy bits in my book.
Capture Idea: I had a couple of dressy events for work, so of course selfies were entirely necessary.
Simplicity Point: Same deal as the previous page with the patterned paper and offset journaling card. I definitely like this look!
Capture Idea: Going on a trip. Long Beach Airport lets you get on the plane from outside, so I was able to get an unencumbered shot of the plane.
Capture Idea: NY-specific food.
Simplicity Point: One journaling card and a quick list of highlights from the trip.
Story Idea: Two pages dedicated to a trip out to Yankee Stadium.
Capture Idea: More food.
Capture Idea: An updated shot of the outside garden.
Capture Idea: And food. But at least one is a meal I cooked at home.
