Project Life pages

     When any one of my grandkids turns 10 they get to spend a week all by themselves with me.  Brayden turned 10 in June and was excited that it was his turn.  We started out camping then came to my house for some more fun.  I took lots of pictures and made him a scrapbook to remember the week.

1. We each  journaled about each day, which I then typed up using a different color for each person.

2. I looked through my Project Life boxes and found different embellishments and saying cards that fit with the pictures.

3. I used some of the grided journaling cards to add some extra thoughts about the pictures.

   Brayden loved the book and so did I so of course I made a second copy to have at my house.
  So even though Project Life has its own pocket pages, you can incorporate some of the product on your own pages.

Project Life-Technique Book

     I love the idea of Project Life and tried to think of other ways to use the book and pages other than for scrapbooking.  My monthly club is a technique club and the ladies keep asking me for directions explaining the steps involved for each technique so they can remember at home when trying to duplicate the technique on their own.  Here is what I can up with.

1. As a thank you to each member of the club who has been with me for several years, I purchased a 6 by 8 inch album for them.

2. Now, each month when we meet I have papers ready for them that explain the technique we are working on.  I write down the steps, supplies needed and leave a space for them to include a small sample of the technique as a visual.

 

     As you can see there are many ways to use these great books and divider pages other than for scrapbooking.  HMMMM what technique shall I feature this month.

 

Scrappin' Saturday-Project Life at the Library

   Have you heard about Project Life?  It is way to scrapbook for those who want lots of pictures in an album but don't have either the desire, money,  nor the time to put lots of time and supplies into a scrapbook page.  I like the idea for some of my pictures and decided to try it out with my Stampin in the Stacks ladies.  We met in February to make cards.  Two of the ladies had never made a card before but turned out to be very creative.  I took pictures of each person's card, and the group and made a page layout in about 10 minutes.  I think I have several other pictures I can scrap in this manner.

Here is what I like about the Project Life materials.
1.  Pictures just slide into pockets that have a side opening. You can round the corners of the pictures to give them a special look.

 

2. You can choose journaling cards that are designed to fit in two different directions and use them to tell the story of the pictures.

3. You can add dates and other items to your pictures and journaling cards to help tell the story.

  I think I am going to print off some pictures of my other stamping events and include them in a scrapbook of stamping adventures.  What would you scrapbook if you had pages like this?
