Project Life Title Page

I finally got around to working on my Project Life title page.  And, although I haven't figured out what pictures I'm going to use yet, I just couldn't wait to post about it.... so here it is!


I used these adorable (and FREE!!!) printable journaling cards that I found at this blog.  Also because the Photo Pocket pages A are sold out everywhere I had to make due with some WeRMemoryKeepers ones that I had on hand.  This presented me with a strange problem, however, because they don't have any of the little business card sized pockets.  My solution was to zigzag stitch two of the cards together to make them fit into one of the 4x6 pockets.  And I found that I might actually like it this way even more because it makes it just that much more interesting!


Another stitched together set of cards.


On this set of cards, I chose to stitch them onto a 4x6 piece of grey cardstock.  It still doesn't look quite right to me yet. (I think I need to go around the perimeter more than once)  I also used some little plastic birds that I've had laying around.  One for each of the three of us!  :)


For the last pocket I used one of the cards from the Clementine core kit.  I also used some Thickers to spell out our last name.  I'm really loving this Project Life stuff so far!!

Project Life 2012

I finally decided to do something to alleviate the guilt of being so incredibly behind in my scrapbooking.  I have jumped on the Project Life band wagon!  Even though I am starting out three weeks behind everyone else, by the nature of the system, I don't think it'll take me long to catch up.  I'm really excited to get started and while waiting for my binder and core kit to arrive I started organizing all the little do-dads that make this type of scrapbooking interesting.


I scoured some of the local thrift shops for any type of organizing system that I could use and ended up with this old wooden cassette tape shelf.  I'm pretty excited with how it worked out!  Now everything is in plain sight and at my fingertips.  I cannot wait to get started!!!
