Project Life

I realized when posting to a friends blog about it, that I havent even talked about Project Life ..my current scrapbook-like way I have been documenting our life (aside from the blog, of course.)

When I lost all my pictures a couple of years ago, due to a kid-related harddrive problem I realized that I wanted to print more of the great pictures we have of our little ones.

A friend of mine has been doing Becky Higgins' (the scrapbooking goddess) "projects" for the last couple of years, and blessed me with Project Life for Christmas last year (thanks Kim!).

I have love, LOVED it. It has been perfect for me in the current state of craziness that I am in. Project Life is a scrapbooking project that entails little more than slipping your great pictures in some clear pockets, and adding some journaling for good measure. The part that is so great, is that all the precut cut papers, journalling cards, title cards, date stamp, binder ..all of it, is provided and done. All you have to do is select the elements for that page, slip them in the pockets and you have a great two page layout taht displays your great pics and tells the story at the same time.

I wait for the sales on prints, and print my pics in one batch so I get them as cheap as I can. Up til the baby was born, I did this about every two weeks. I have at least 3-4,  2-page layouts for January through April completed. We have our year up to Joshua fully documented and it wont take much to catch up from here. 

As a scrapper from way back, I can tell you that this is a great deal ...for $39.99 you get all this stuff that will fill up the binder you see here ...aside from the printing of the pictures, there is no other cost. Its all provided. I know that to complete a scrapbook in the past I have spent way more than that. 
It also comes in both digital and kit ..which is great if you want to just point and click. I can see using both of them. 

Anyways ...thought I would pass it on. I love my Project Life!
