I'm excited to announce I will be a contributor for a fun *free* little summer project called Little Summer Joy! I'm excited to be contributing online again. I had started a little mini book to document the little things that bring me happiness this summer and had even used the "little things" concept from Ali Edwards Story Kit for my title page (more on that below.) But as many of my projects go, I feared the title page would be about all that I finished! :)</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So when I saw my Instagram friends Jen Lake and Julie Gagen create a new site called <a href="http://www.littlepaperprojects.com/" target="_blank">Little Paper Projects </a>and launch the first project: Little Summer Joy, I knew this would be a great fit for me. Lucky for me they had a spot open for a contributor! Maybe it will give me the spark I need to actually do something more with my site. Or maybe I will just enjoy my summer, documenting what I can and enjoy sharing that. How about we just enjoy living, creating and sharing with one another? That's pretty exciting!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I really like the idea and philosophy behind Little Paper Projects as well. I love the idea of using memory keeping as a way to explore how we see and experience our world. That using little projects like this can create more self awareness and self love. I've been pretty much on board with that philosophy since I started memory keeping and I like how they are creating a community around it. Hooray for an awesome community of folks wanting to build each other up! It's awesome.</div>

Okay, so here's my plan for my Little Summer Joy book this year. I'm using a 4x4 mini album from Seven Paper, some of Ali Edwards "Little Things" Story Kit™ and a bunch of my stash. I am not looking to go super minimal with this project. You totally could and that would be awesome! Jen and Julie shared several options<a href="http://www.littlepaperprojects.com/littlesummerjoy-project-supplies-travelers-journal-option/" target="_blank"> here</a>. I've done simple journals before--for an example is my <a href="http://annetteharing.blogspot.com/2012/11/30-lists-sept-2012-lists-9-30.html" target="_blank">30 Lists journal</a> that I still adore. So, I might do a journal on the side with it. But right now I just want to PLAY with some of the cool stuff I've collected and make something with it. I've decided I need to make more stuff or I need to put the collecting on hold. And since I really like it, why not use it?! </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Also, I recently picked up the Fuse Tool and am really loving playing with it too! So you'll see some fun sequin pockets as well. Let me know if you would like to see a video "how to" on that. It's quite simple to use! Here's a look at my main title page. I just added some confetti I had plus some sequins. You start from the bottom pocket and just build up. Love how it turned out!</div>

The first lesson for Little Summer Joy is to create your summer bucket list / manifesto or whatever you want to call it. I really liked Tracy's idea to also include things that might be holding you back from joy. I primarily included things we want to do as a family, plus a few things I wanted to include on my own. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Here's a look at my title page plus my manifesto. I kept it simple and just used the back of the 3x4 title cards to create a 4x6 canvas to write on. I stamped Summer Manifesto with this <a href="http://kelliestamps.bigcartel.com/product/a-to-z" target="_blank">stamp set</a> from Kellie Stamps. Wrapped the edges in some glitter washi tape from Target and just wrote my list. Simple and done!<br />

The nice thing about including my summer manifesto here is that I can easily refer back to it, but I'm not creating a book solely on these items. Some of them while will be included and who knows, maybe all?! But one of the focus points for me for this book is to be documenting the little things that are making me happy. Things I want to do and how to inspire myself to actually DO them. Plus, a reflection component of noticing things that brought me joy just because and not because they are on a list. Does that make sense? Plus, I want to include some of the prompts for the class. So I'm keeping a pretty open mind and heart here. It's summertime after all! Keep it easy!<br />

I am thrilled to be a part of looking back and sharing our Week in the Life™ memories as part of gearing up to participate in it again with Ali Edwards this August. For more information on Week in the Life™ click <a href="http://aliedwards.com/projects/week-in-the-life" target="_blank">here</a>. For more information on my own albums click <a href="http://annetteharing.blogspot.com/search/label/Week%20in%20the%20Life?updated-max=2012-04-22T22:24:00-05:00&max-results=20&start=6&by-date=false" target="_blank">here</a>.</div>

***note I have fully completed one album (2011) and the rest are a work in progress. I do have notes and photos and partially filled albums, which is fine. It was a busy period of my life and the last thing I want to do is berate myself for not finishing some project. But, they are on my list and will happily announce when I do finally finish them!! And just because life is busy doesn't mean you can't take some photos. Make the time. It will be worth it. Click on!!</div>

Now back to the story. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
As part of the gearing up for Week in the Life this summer, I was asked to share one day for each day of the week (Monday through Friday) to be able to share on Instagram. Yes!! of course I would love to share! Happily most of these were already finished, just a few needed a bit of journaling and hoping I had not lost the little Thursday flair button! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
A little note for finishing up old projects: keep a "materials file" which is a gathering of the products, photos, notes that you want to use. Keep them in a plastic bin or folder of some sort. Makes it easier to pull together old projects. (or say goodbye to them if you are really uninspired…but hopefully you won't feel that way with this project! Re-work it or try something new to get your inspiration back. I did that for my 2011 project and it worked out great. This project is worth it!)</div>

MONDAY | APRIL 23, 2012<br />
<br />
<i>"hello Monday | get to work day"</i><br />
<br />
A little about me: I am a work outside the home mom and was working a pretty heavy schedule with long hours and a long commute for four years while my husband was in a PhD program. We all have different seasons of life and reasons we are busy. This just happened to be one of my busy work seasons. And even though the schedule was tough, I have found that capturing self portraits helps increase my self awareness, self compassion and decision making. I also know that I am part of this story and I want to make sure I am a part of these books as well!<br />
<br />
On this particular Monday, I worked (as noted by the photo of my purse with my work tablet and other accessories) and then made it home before dark to do finish up work. I was driving a lot for work during this part of my life so the fact I made it home at a decent hour was a good thing. And I like that I captured my scrapbook desk / work desk that was actually in the bedroom of our apartment at that time. Making it work, right?<br />

<i>"Remembering the little things"</i><br />
<br />
Fast forward two years. My daughter is now four years old and is definitely growing up. Here's my journaling from the title page: "The story of this photo is her independent spirit at 4 years old. That she often gets her own milk and cereal, even when the jug is full and she boasts how strong she is since it is so heavy. That today I poured some in a measuring cup for her because I was stressed and didn't want to clean up a big mess, just in case. That one of her habits is pulling her hair back with her left hand because she refuses to wear anything in her hair and loves it long. That the yellow sunflower mix is still looking good after celebrating her grandma's birthday over the weekend. It was a good morning. Hello Tuesday."<br />
<br />
The story of this photo is also that I am no longer driving the long distances I was. Still working but not to the extent I was in the prior 4 years. So thankful I had time to spend at home that morning to capture little moments like this.<br />
<br />
I also love the daily schedule in Ali's kit last year but I had not filled it out during the week. I just finished up my journaling in time to share it with you now. Thankfully I had written notes on Ali's daily sheets so I had some great nuggets to add to the schedule. My favorite little nugget: 8 am: "Mom, you can't go to work in those pants can you?" Note to self: must do laundry!<br />

<i>imperfect stories + photos matter</i><br />
<br />
I love to make sure I capture some photos of the characters of the story that is our life. That afternoon I came home from a busy day and because it was Week in the Life™ I grabbed my camera and got my daughter to cooperate with a few photos on the balcony. And while I'm super thankful to capture her cute face at 17 months, I'm also happy I captured the story behind our day with additional photos, like places I went that day. Lunch at Panera (so that's where my Panera card is!!) Clean bathrooms at Central Market (when you drive a lot in Austin traffic you are thankful for clean bathrooms!) And then the stories not told with photos. Here I added a note from her teacher at daycare and I love that I added those details.<br />
<br />
Also remember the photos and stories don't need to be perfect. It is the collection of little photos and stories that make this project so great.<br />
<br />

<i>the bedtime routine</i><br />
<br />
In 2013 I started each day with a focus on a particular time of day or routine. So for each large photo on the left side and the smaller photos on the right side I have a focus on things like the morning routine, work routine, afternoon routine, bedtime routine and after school routine. You can break it down as you need for your routine. I liked that it gave me some focus to make sure I got a good photo for the enlargement each day. That took pressure off of me to not feel like I had to take a zillion photos each day. Again, my work routine was very busy during this time but taking the time to capture a bit of my life has been amazing to look back on. Instead of focusing on the negative, I was able to reflect on the beauty that is all around me and the stories that are present if I just look and reflect.<br />
<br />
Here I captured how her room looked at the time, which is cool to look back on. I also captured her love of pajamas and blankets. Doing the the pajama dance and hiding under her blanket. So happy to have these little moments recorded!<br />
<br />
The journaling: Evening routine: "You right now. Bedtime routine at 3. You really love your pajamas. Just like Mom, as soon as you get home it is PJ time! We like reading a few books like Sandra Boynton "Pajama Dance" and maybe watch a Curious George episode or two. And milk. Always milk. We love you."<br />

<i>observations</i><br />
<br />
One of the things I love about Week in the Life™ is just simply to observe your life as it is right now. I like to capture the photos in a documentary style much of the time. And I like finding new points of view, such as placing the camera on the floor and then seeing what you get (as in the top right photo.)<br />
<br />
I also love this project for easy comparisons between years. For instance, in Thursday's photo I notice the difference in her bed. Here she is 17 months old and still has the full crib. Two years later she has the rail off for a toddler bed.<i> ***big sigh here as I reflect on how fast time flies</i><br />
<br />
I also like that I captured my husband picking up my daughter from daycare. He is a very caring and involved father and he did this most days so I could focus on work. He was going through a rigorous PhD program and stressful internship at the time, which makes me even more thankful for all he does. Again, this time of our lives was busy. But I'm so very thankful I captured what I could.<br />
<br />
And I'm so thankful for Ali for her inspiration with this project. It's amazing and I will happily be joining in again this year! Hope to see you there too! Below is a free graphic Ali created. It's in the Week in the Life Community. You can find that <a href="http://aliedwards.com/shop/classes/week-in-the-life-community" target="_blank">here</a>!<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
And a few more thoughts:<br />
<br />
- Looking back over several years at a time in such a compact view is amazing. To me it is like Project Life in a smaller time frame. Easy to compare previous years easily. Note changes, growth. Things you are proud of. Things you want to do better at. Things you are grateful for. As I looked back over these I really think this is my favorite project. Unfinished albums and all. I'll get there.<br />
<br />
- Have a plan. Using the digital templates and kit make it much easier. But you could go more simple or more elaborate. Do what's right for you.<br />
<br />
- Be flexible with your plan.<br />
<br />
- Plan for extra time during the week to take photos and notes. It does take a little more time than usual. If you need to, try to focus on a particular person, time of day or routine to make sure you get a good photo for that day's main photo. That has helped me.<br />
<br />
- Take notes!! Definitely use a journal or notebook or Ali's Daily Sheets. Something. Jot down a few quotes or things overheard. Bits of life are what you are after. Things you may not remember if you are finishing it up later. A lot of the photos I take are just for triggers to help remind me of what we did that day. I don't include them all, but it helps with the journaling too.<br />
<br />
- Like I said above, keep materials together in a materials file so you can put it together when you have time. Do what you can in the moment, but don't beat yourself up or let yourself feel down if you see others getting it done faster. "Do what you can, with what you have, where you are." --Theodore Roosevelt.<br />
<br />
- Relax and enjoy the week. Let it unfold as it happens.<br />
<br />
You can do it!! I can do it!! One photo at a time, one journaling card at a time. Most of all, view your life through the lens of gratitude. When I do, I remember it's pretty awesome.<br />
<br />

<br />
So I realize this post is actually happening in May. Yes, I'm a bit behind the curve. But if you have followed my posts on Instagram you may have seen I am tackling a personal project this year called 15 on the 15th in 2015. I also consider this to be my <a href="http://aliedwards.com/projects/day-in-the-life" target="_blank">Day in the Life</a>™ project each month.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The last time I participated in a project like this (as in a project for the whole year, besides project life) was in 2012. Ella Publishing (miss them!) ran a project called Take 12. And I kept up okay. Maybe finished about 1/3 of the project. For me, that's pretty good!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I've seen other folks that do similar projects:</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li> Tracy Larsen: click <a href="http://tracylarsen.weebly.com/15-on-the-15th-photo-collages.html" target="_blank">here </a>for her 15 on the 15th template. click here for her layouts.</li>
<li>Ali Edwards: Day in the Life™ project: click <a href="http://aliedwards.com/projects/day-in-the-life" target="_blank">here</a> for more info. Also click <a href="http://aliedwards.com/2015/04/day-in-the-life-tuesday-may-12th" target="_blank">here</a> for info on when she is doing next (as of this post): which is May 12th.</li>
<li>lots of other memory keepers do similar projects or just pick a random day each month for day in the life. Great example <a href="http://thenerdnest.com/2015/04/april-day-in-the-life.html" target="_blank">here </a>from Megan Anderson.</li>
</ul>
<div>
So here's my plan:</div>
<div>
<br />
Take at least fifteen photos on the 15th of each month and create a two page layout using the <a href="http://beckyhiggins.com/project-life-app/" target="_blank">Project Life™ App </a>and <a href="http://letterglow.com/" target="_blank">Letterglow</a>. Print these out with <a href="http://www.persnicketyprints.com/" target="_blank">Persnickety Prints </a>and call it good!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
For the right side I am using Design V in the Project Life™app. I also used digital cards from <a href="http://www.lovedayseed.com/#!calendar-collection/c17ek" target="_blank">Love | Day | Seed</a>. These are from the <a href="http://www.lovedayseed.com/#!calendar-collection/c17ek" target="_blank">Calendar Collection</a>.Two of them simply added right to the app from Dropbox. Another one I added to Letterglow to add the journaling. </div>
<br />
I've been experimenting with different layout options since it is so easy to do with the app. One of the challenges for me with project life is to keep it fresh but still keep it do-able. I had found a process that worked fairly well for me using primarily Design F pages for the past several years. And while I am considering going back to that, it has been fun to play around with other layout options without worrying about having to print the photos to that size. More on that when I start sharing more of my app layouts.<br />
<br />
Anyways, I hope you will join me for 15 on the 15th! Even if you can't get them on the actual day, maybe try 15 photos each month for 2015! It's still a fun collection of photos and these are so cool to me to see since we are no longer in that space.<br />
<br />
You can also join in with Ali Edwards for her <a href="http://aliedwards.com/projects/day-in-the-life" target="_blank">Day in the Life™</a> which she is doing next on May 12th.<br />

If you have stayed with me this long, I want to say thank you!<br />
<br />
Life in 2015 has been anything but smooth. I knew it was going to be a bumpy ride, but I had hoped to be able to keep up with things better. But, some things including this blog had to go on the back burner for a while.<br />
<br />
But hopefully that is behind me. Decisions have been made. Life goes on. And happy to say we are in a new space! Out of the apartment and into a really really real house! <i>can't tell you how awesome it is to see how much Maggie loves it--especially the backyard. </i>One of the things I'm working on is making this place our own and embracing being where we are. <i>Grow where you are planted, right?</i><br />
<br />
My plan is to start sharing some of the project life layouts I've made with the <a href="http://beckyhiggins.com/project-life-app/" target="_blank">Project Life™ app</a>. I'm in the process of getting those off my phone and into my album using <a href="http://www.persnicketyprints.com/" target="_blank">Persnickety Prints</a>. I had some layouts printed with them and have always been very happy with their quality. Plus I was able to visit their store this spring and got to see first hand their "persnickety process!"<br />
<br />
Currently I have project life layouts finished through Week 7 as well as other layouts and the 15 on the 15th project. See below for one of layouts I created on my phone.<br />
<br />
<i>Other things I've been up to (besides work):</i><br />
<br />
I've also been working on layouts for my 6x8 personal album as well as various other layouts. I am subscribing to <a href="http://aliedwards.com/themes/click" target="_blank">Ali Edwards Story Kits and Stamps</a> and I love love love them! The education and inspiration plus the products are so worth it! I'm still working on getting going on actually <i><b>making </b></i>things.<br />
<br />
And last month I started subscribing again to <a href="http://www.studiocalico.com/" target="_blank">Studio Calico</a>. This time to the scrapbook subscription. I had subscribed to the Project Life™ kit since the beginning but last December I cancelled it because I knew the first half of this year was looking to be tough. And honestly I just needed a change. With the recent move I saw how much stuff I had collected and went through a big purge. Since I'm wanting to create more layouts I decided to subscribe to the scrapbook kit and plan to purchase some Project Life kits when I want to. I've been purchasing the digital cards each month so I still get my fix that way for right now. And I can use those in the app! So it's a win.<br />
<br />
Hoping to share more about my 15 on the 15th project soon too. I've really liked this project although in April I was away on business and am going to be "flexible" on the actual date to make April work.<br />
<br />
So here's a look at one of the layouts I created on my phone using the Project Life™ app and <a href="http://letterglow.com/" target="_blank">Letterglow</a>. These are cards from the Dazzle and Love Story editions in the app and Ali Edwards digital cards: <a href="http://aliedwards.com/shop/journal-cards/simple-lines-3x4-cards" target="_blank">Simple Lines 3x4 cards</a>. Love that set.<br />
<br />
This is a simple two page spread showing my daughter in her new room. She loves her new loft bed from IKEA. And yes, those boxes in the corner are still there…work in progress, work in progress. Big sigh. But she loves her room and it will get there in time. It's all good.<br />

I've had quite a few questions about using Letterglow and am planning on making a video once the update is live. There will be fewer work-arounds and app-smashing together. It's going to be awesome!<br />

I thought I would finally share some of my pages from the January prompt for One Little Word. This is a class taught by Ali Edwards. You can find information on it <a href="http://aliedwards.com/2015/02/give-sunday-05" target="_blank">here</a>.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I've participated with One Little Word since 2008 I think. Past words were simplify, savor, adventure, focus, awake, move, magic and now light. Some years I am intentional about it, other years I just listen and take note of the words that stand out. From my own experience, I am better with a word that is more broad. I'm a perfectionist and the all/none of a specific word really gets me down if I don't accomplish all my goals. Some years I have participated with the prompts and other years I just go with the flow and let the word be a part of my life. Either way has worked well for me. Last year there was no way I could keep up with the prompts. I just let "magic" work its magic and took note of how it worked out in my life. There were definitely tough times in 2014, but overall I hope I remember the magical times. The times when things worked out. When I noticed magic moments of our everyday life. There were definitely some big things that changed as well. I'm still learning some lessons from my choices last year and I hope to keep them in mind as I move forward. Thank you Magic. You were much needed last year and I hope I can wrap up 2014 with embracing the good and the tough learning moments as well. To forgive myself of not so good choices made. To know that I needed to learn these lessons and that it is time to move forward.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Which brings me to 2015. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I started noticing Light around the end of November. "Let Your Heart Be Light" was coming quite strongly to me. I picked up <a href="http://aliedwards.com/shop/art-prints/let-your-heart-be-light-art-print">this print</a> from Ali Edwards and I knew this would be my word this year. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I knew this word was a complex one. There is light and there is dark in life. It's not all bokeh lights and shimmering twinkle lights. It's also the shadows. Learning how to find the light in dark places. Noticing the lights that are my loved ones and doing more to rekindle the flames of relationships and love. To LIGHTEN UP and give myself a break. Enjoy more laughter and silly moments. Not be so darn defensive and lighten up with my self talk. Embrace my imperfections and move on. Be patient with myself and be better with "living in the grey areas" as Ali calls it. So tough right now. I'm a planner. I want to know what I need to do and take action. Some things take time. I want to lighten my loads: take on fewer assignments that do not contribute to my family's and my own wellness and happiness. Lots of listening to my heart in this area: does it make my heart lighter or do I feel heaviness and stress? Making the deliberate decision toward choosing the light is making this year a happier one so far. Yes, it's fewer "big things" in the scrapbooking community, but it means more time to be with family and savor this time. To sink into being a working mom and my profession. I work to support my family. I work because I do love what I do. I just happen to have quite a few passions which can make it tough sometimes to focus on what matters most. I want to be lighter physically and do more to nourish my physical body. Let go of past failures and choose more healthy options. And to clear the clutter around me. Let go of overspending and clutter. Let the light of a simplified life lift me up. Travel lighter and let my true self shine.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Those are just a few of my random thoughts right now. It's definitely a work in progress. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I've started with setting goals each month around a theme, but also being open to the other aspects of "light." January was lightening up the clutter around me and getting more organized. It was so helpful. The apartment is much cleaner and organized and I am liking how the other aspects of light are playing out in my life too. I'm also listening to the "Happiness Project" by Gretchen Rubin as well as reading "Embracing Imperfection" by Brene Brown. And I'm considering doing a 30 Day Minimalism challenge as well.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
February is already here and my goals are to feel lighter physically and emotionally. I already feel like I need a restart for February! But I have some goals and I'm going to review them instead of getting down on myself and try again. Lighten up and embrace my imperfections, right?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So, finally I get to my pages. I guess I had a lot to say.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I am using a 9x12 white Handbook from Studio Calico for my One Little Word. I've purchased two so far and have already moved my past years into my other white album. You can find those <a href="http://www.studiocalico.com/shop/albums-page-protectors/album-white-patent-faux-leather-9x12" target="_blank">here</a>. I used my Silhouette to cut the word "light" from Ali's brush set Noel. You can find it <a href="http://aliedwards.com/shop/brushes/noel" target="_blank">here</a>. The word cards are from Ali's One Little Word class and some of the filler cards: the quote cards / patterns are from Oh Snap! Boutique (find those <a href="http://ohsnapboutique.com/boutique/product.php?productid=845&cat=75&page=1">here.</a>) Stamps and word stickers are from Ali's First Story Stamp / Kit. You can find those <a href="http://aliedwards.com/themes/firsts">here</a>.<i><span style="font-size: x-small;"> (Please direct questions regarding the story kits/stamps to Ali's site for the most accurate information.)</span></i></div>

The gold painted star page was created by me and my daughter having fun with some paints and a silkscreen from Studio Calico. (find similar ones <a href="http://www.studiocalico.com/shop/painting">here</a> if they are available)<br />
<br />
So there they are! I'm working on the February prompt and hope to finish that one up soon as it is quite messy!<br />
<br />
How about you? Do you choose a One Little Word? If so I would love to hear your word and how it is going for you!Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17137821498642678025noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4866162226179027415.post-38704231397677839152015-02-02T09:00:00.000-06:002015-02-02T09:02:21.601-06:00Project Life Hybrid Introduction PageOne of the things I like to do is have an intro page each year. In past years I have documented the details: where we live, what cars we drive, etc. Just the basic facts. I like having that record.<br />
<br />
This year I wanted to do something more that still shared the state of where we are, but not specifics. We have worked hard these past five years getting my husband through school but now we are faced with some more decisions about our future. Working out the details and taking new leaps (for me) are challenging. I am a big believer in going for our dreams. Really, I am. But I'm no longer a 20 something college student. I have a family to support and those dreams sometimes take a side seat. But, new opportunities may exist and I hope to be open to them.<br />
<br />
The thing is, I hope that no matter where we are location-wise that we embrace this idea: "life is full of adventure" and that we make lots of fun traditions and celebrate life.<br />
<br />
So when I was looking at the word art package <a href="http://aliedwards.com/shop/brushes/messy-daily-circles" target="_blank">"Messy Daily Circles" from Ali Edwards</a>, I knew I wanted to do a big page and focus on that "life is full of adventure" word art. (This was an assignment for the <a href="http://aliedwards.com/digital-creative-team" target="_blank">Digital Creative Team for Ali Edwards</a>--for which I am super thankful and excited to be a part of.)<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
This two page spread is a pocket page on the left (the back of the title page) and then something for the back of the beginning of my weekly digital pages (from the Project Life app.) I went with a super simple enlargement mounted on white cardstock.</div>

<br />
A closer look at the word art from the <a href="http://aliedwards.com/shop/brushes/messy-daily-circles" target="_blank">Messy Daily Circles </a>word art set from Ali Edwards. I used the circles as they are on two of the photos. On the "hello awesome life" photo I traced around just the words and then copied/pasted those directly onto the photo. It worked great! Really fun and I love that this page just screams "embrace the awesome!"<br />

The word strip stickers are from Ali's Firsts Story kit. That cute <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/mollyfrances" target="_blank">hello stamp</a> is from my friend and fellow Austinite Molly Frances. The yes wood veneer was from the <a href="http://www.studiocalico.com/shop/classrooms/paint-plan-play" target="_blank">Ashley Goldberg class</a> at Studio Calico. I like that I just used it instead of keeping it for "that perfect" page. I sometimes hoard too much and using this plus the awesome Lindsay Letters card was an attempt to get over that perfectionism and just have fun with the products. And I love how they turned out.<br />

And here is the full page 12x12 traditional layout. Super simple and fun. I printed it at 8.5x8.5 because that's the size of my printer. Initially I thought I would do a full 12x12 but that would entail waiting for said enlargement to come in the mail or piecing it together. I am always looking for ways to add white space in these albums and so just putting it on a 12x12 piece of white cardstock worked great!<br />
<br />
I added the "Life is Full of Adventure" and the text directly onto the photo (print a test run first to ensure placing.) Then I added the chipboard "Life begins at the end of your comfort zone" and the "yes" burst (both from the Firsts story kit.) Simple. Fun. And DONE!</div>

So there it is! A fun little introduction page setting up a theme for this year, giving a peek into where we are right now and the decisions we are making. And it makes me realize I want more of this: more big photos, more playing with the mix of digital and physical products. And more of the simple, do what works for me type of things. I can be working on a page like this and tinker around with things while cranking out a month of PL on the PL app. It's all good.<br />
<br />
I'm also working on some tutorials to show more about Mobile Memory Keeping with the Project Life App, Letterglow, Collect and other apps I use. Is there something you would like to see? I have been wanting to work out my own workflow before I shared but I think I am ready to show some tips and techniques.<br />
<br />
Thanks for stopping by! Hope you have a great week!<br />

Hello twenty fifteen! I'm finally getting to the big "how I'm approaching Project Life this year" post. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The truth is, I'm still tinkering and playing around but I'm confident enough now to say "this is it!" (at least for now) :)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The thing is, I've been doing Project Life or some version of it since around 2009 I think. And no, I haven't technically "finished" an album. But I have created many many pages and I have even been able to teach a few classes to share my different tips and approaches and encourage others to embrace where they are and take steps to tweak their own process. For which I am incredibly thankful. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
If you have read my recent posts or seen on <a href="http://instagram.com/annetteharing" target="_blank">Instagram,</a> I am currently having fun playing with the <a href="http://beckyhiggins.com/project-life-app/" target="_blank">Project Life App</a> and my plan is to continue using the app for my main two page (left side + right side) layout each week. Yes, I'm tacking it weekly this year! Kinda digging that! (I can still imagine I will be flexible in my weeks if needed but I'm excited for the very simplified parameters this year.) </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>My goals for Project Life</b>:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<ul>
<li>Weekly left + right side spreads using the <a href="https://beckyhiggins.com/project-life-app/" target="_blank">Project Life App</a></li>
<li>Print these at <a href="http://www.persnicketyprints.com/" target="_blank">Persnickety Prints</a> at 12x12</li>
<li>Add to my 12x12 Project Life album (the one I am using is from Becky Higgins found <a href="http://www.shopbeckyhiggins.com/collections/12x12-cloth-albums-physical-albums/products/grey-12x12-cloth-album-physical-albums" target="_blank">here</a>.)</li>
<li>Sprinkle in other pocket pages and inserts as I have time / inspiration / motivation / space to do so</li>
<li>Keep it simple but still add elements such as <a href="http://aliedwards.com/shop/digital" target="_blank">Ali Edwards word art</a>. I just love those little touches.</li>
<li>Enjoy more layouts finished and in an album and have fewer gaps this year. Look at Project Life more as just another album and not as an "epic end of all albums"; be okay with not including everything. Keep it light and simple. Use those photos and snippets of stories to spark longer stories and pages (which I add here or to other albums.)</li>
<li>Hopefully have more time to work on filling in some gaps and finishing Week in the Life and December Daily projects of years past.</li>
</ul>
<div>
<b>Additional projects:</b></div>
<div>
<ul>
<li><b><a href="http://aliedwards.com/projects/day-in-the-life" target="_blank">Day in the Life</a> | <a href="http://tracylarsen.weebly.com/15-on-the-15th-photo-collages.html" target="_blank">15 on the 15th</a>:</b> Each month on the 15th I am going to do the Day in the Life project with a goal of having at least 15 photos I love that capture our everyday life. I will use primarily the big camera on this day so sharing these pages may take me longer. I'm okay with that. My main goal is to practice with my big camera. I really want to get a wide angle lens this year. My kit lens died and so I shoot right now at around 75mm (with my crop sensor and 50mm lens.) We'll see. Here's to hoping, right? If not, I will try to rent one at least once or twice this year. I plan on creating an insert or additional page with these in my album and at the end of the year have them made into a photo book.</li>
<li><b><a href="http://aliedwards.com/shop/classes/one-little-word" target="_blank">One Little Word</a>:</b> I am taking Ali Edwards's class on her blog. It is so great. This year my goal is to participate more with the prompts. Last year my word was with me all year and definitely helped me, but this year I want to be more intentional with it. I think I will need the reminders this year more. (I hope to get a blog post up soon about it.)</li>
<li><b><a href="http://aliedwards.com/projects/week-in-the-life" target="_blank">Week in the Life</a>: </b>will probably tackle this again if Ali does. I always love joining in. Finishing it is another story. Like I mentioned above, I hope to find more time to finish up my past projects.</li>
<li><b><a href="http://aliedwards.com/projects/december-daily" target="_blank">December Daily</a></b>: can't help myself. I love it but every year my work seems to get crazy busy around this time. It's all I can do to live life during the month. But December Daily helps me to take time to capture things and live intentionally to create more memories. I love that project.</li>
<li><b><a href="http://aliedwards.com/" target="_blank">Ali Edwards Story Kit / Stamps</a></b>: So far I've been getting some great products and listened / watched a lot of inspirational content from Ali. I may make a goal of one layout a month, but as I look at everything I am hoping to do, reality is I am just going to enjoy getting them and using them here and there. If I do more then great. If not, no guilt because I really enjoy them and the content is wonderful. Who knows, maybe I'll get really inspired and do a bunch! I will add those to either Project Life or my <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Photo-Freedom-Simple-Scrapbooks/dp/1933516798" target="_blank">Library of Memories </a>albums. And I want to get my story journal going again. At least capture some ideas of layouts / stories I want t do.</li>
</ul>
<div>
Okay, just listing these took forever! Reality is…just enjoy life and do what I'm inspired to do!! Lighten up and live life with a light heart. Look for the good and enjoy it. That's my main goal this year.<br />
<br />
And you thought I was joking when I said I just wanted to stop all my other projects and follow along with Ali! Seriously though, I am a huge fan of her life documentation processes and projects and feel very inspired when I follow along with her. And I am incredibly thankful to be on her Digital Creative Team this year. I'm excited to share how I use some of her products in my own projects.<br />
<br />
So here we go!<br />
<br />
<b>Project Life 2015 Title Page</b></div>
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So I thought I would share my title page for 2015 Project Life and my week 1 spread to give more of an idea of my approach. This is a paper pocket page + overlay. On the back I will do an "about us" page -- left side pocket style and either an enlargement or a PL app page on the right.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The nice thing about the app: more time to play around with other pages and techniques!! Like breaking out the <a href="https://www.blogger.com/%3Ca%20href=%22http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00NAX7H78/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B00NAX7H78&linkCode=as2&tag=ththphpali-20&linkId=B7JPYNYMSHHPPMJ6%22%3ESilhouette%20Cameo%3C/a%3E%3Cimg%20src=%22http://ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/ir?t=ththphpali-20&l=as2&o=1&a=B00NAX7H78%22%20width=%221%22%20height=%221%22%20border=%220%22%20alt=%22%22%20style=%22border:none%20!important;%20margin:0px%20!important;%22%20/%3E" target="_blank">Silhouette Cameo</a> to play with some Ali Edwards word art. Gold foil + Ali art = awesome. It took me a bit to remember how to use it, but once I found a few tutorials online I was good to go. I love these.<br />
<br /></div>
<div>
For my title page, I cut the "Hello Twenty Twelve" from the gold Silhouette foil sticker paper. It has adhesive on the back so you can just apply it to whatever. I used a 12x12 transparency / overlay from Studio Calico as a cover page over the title page. Love the see through effect. I simply lined up the transparency and cut holes using my Crop a Dile punch. I do two holes for each one to help it turn smoother.<br />
<br />
These are from the <a href="http://aliedwards.com/shop/brushes/twenty-fifteen" target="_blank">Twenty Twelve set from Ali Edwards</a>. </div>

It's kind of hard to see the transparency but I really love it. You can find it <a href="http://www.bluemoonscrapbooking.com/SPD/55-332232---3033211611813871359.jsp" target="_blank">here</a> (if it is in stock.)<br />

<br />
<br />
And next here is my title page. Again, while I had the Silhouette out and cutting I added quite a few elements to be cut. I cut the "<a href="http://aliedwards.com/shop/brushes/twenty-fifteen" target="_blank">bring on twenty fifteen</a>" and "<a href="http://aliedwards.com/shop/brushes/twenty-fifteen" target="_blank">hello 2015</a>" as well as some other things from the same paper.<br />
<br />
One thing for sure: I will definitely know which year this album is for! :)<br />
<br />
I love repetition so it works for me. I used a bunch of gold foil cards from different Becky Higgins Project Life kits. (I picked up a bunch from her site on sale and quickly added a few favorites to my title page. So creating it didn't take "too" long. :)<br />
<br />
I added some wood veneer elements to calm down the gold a bit. I like the neutral color and texture it adds. And I added a favorite photo from the holidays of me and Mags in bokeh lights. My word this year is "light" so it's a wonderful symbol and reminder for me.<br />
<br />
I also saw another Project Lifer have some really fun family photos on her title page. I tried but..well at least I have a few silly ones. Trying to lighten up. Maybe I will add more of those silly ones on the next page.<br />
<br />

And while I was playing around with the Silhouette I cut one of the boxes from Ali's set and added it to the page lifter. I really like it here. Similar to how Pam Baldwin used boxes from another to create dividers. This would be really fun if there were monthly boxes to cut and use on dividers for each month. </div>

<b>Project Life Week 1</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
And here is a look at my Week 1! This was created in the <a href="https://beckyhiggins.com/project-life-app/" target="_blank">Project Life App</a> + other apps. All of it was created on the phone utilizing Dropbox and apps such as <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/collect-photo-journal-everyday/id580393108?mt=8" target="_blank">Collect</a> and <a href="http://letterglow.com/" target="_blank">Letterglow</a>. I am planning a bigger how to post to get into some details on this approach. So far I love it. I was already doing a lot of my creating the photos and journaling in Collect and now it allows me to just take it another step further to create pages. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
It does take longer to add elements like Ali's word art. The simplest way to use the app is just simply use the cards in the app. I have done that and I really like those pages too! There is nothing wrong with keeping it simple. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
And another tip is to keep decisions simple by repeating elements. I debated keeping a very simple title card this year and was going to make my own. Then I found this great set from <a href="http://littlelammco.blogspot.com/2015/01/2015-brush-script-title-card-templates.html" target="_blank">Little Lamm Co</a>. Her brush script is right on with the <a href="http://ohsnapboutique.com/boutique/home.php?cat=81" target="_blank">Oh Snap Boutique calendar cards</a> (which I bought on an 80% off sale and tweaked to 3x4) I'm using this year so it was a no brainer! I love that another decision is just done!! (again, I can still use other title cards with my inserts, etc.)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The word art set I used for these pages is from the <a href="http://aliedwards.com/shop/brushes/enough" target="_blank">Enough</a> set. Such a versatile set. I really loved just adding the word art right on my photos and journaling cards to enhance the storytelling about our first week. I couldn't help but keep adding more because I felt they really captured what what going on right now. A lot of clearing out / making space / embracing enough. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The everyday love 3x4 card is from Ali's <a href="http://aliedwards.com/shop/brushes/stories-of-life" target="_blank">Everyday Stories</a> set. I had created a background paper from some of the words and used them in a 6x8 layout for Week in the Life (blogged about it <a href="http://annetteharing.blogspot.com/2014/12/a-few-layouts-to-share-ali-edwards.html" target="_blank">here</a>.) So while I was creating the 6x8 I also had created a 3x4 card and had saved it in Dropbox for use on a future layout. </div>

<br />
<br />
Here is the right side of week 1. I continued to use the Enough set over my photos and filler cards. I also added "monthly goals" from <a href="http://aliedwards.com/shop/brushes/hello-goals" target="_blank">the Hello Goals</a> set from Ali. And the Jan 2015 is from Ali's <a href="http://aliedwards.com/shop/brushes/hello-life-boxed-2015" target="_blank">Hello Life Boxes 2015</a>. I love mixing her word art from different sets.<br />
<br />
The week in review 4x6 was created by saving one of the Project Life cards from the app to my camera roll and then created the text and number in the app Letterglow. More on that process to come. I see a return of Mobile Memory Keeping Mondays as a goal for my blogging this year. I have saved that as a template so I can just tweak it each week. Seriously that is one powerful little app.<br />

<br />
Like I mentioned, my actual December Daily album is taking a backseat right now. Just too much going on for me. It's out on my desk and when I need to see some pretties I take a look, but I'm giving myself permission to <i><b>do what is working for me</b></i>.<br />
<br />
So I thought I would share some of my December pages so far. This is my week 49 from the first week of December.<br />
<br />
Again, created in the Project Life App, along with a variety of other apps including <a href="http://www.thelenslab.com/collect-photo-journal/" target="_blank">Collect Photo App</a> for the photos with the text under them, <a href="http://letterglow.com/" target="_blank">Letterglow</a>, and <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/rhonna-designs/id667819594?mt=8" target="_blank">Rhonna Designs</a>.<br />
<br />
I have basically two left and right spreads plus and insert for this week. (and one more I still want to make!)<br />
<br />
Here is the left hand side with the title card. Created that in the Rhonna Designs App. The hello December card I created in Letterglow with the gold background from <a href="http://ohsnapboutique.com/" target="_blank">Oh Snap! Boutique</a> and added the text and overlays in the app. The joy card is from Oh Snap! Boutique. You can import png files and jpegs directly into the Project Life app if they are sized correctly for the app. That's what I did there.<br />
<br />
This is Design F in the app. To change the corners to square there is a little icon at the top right when you are choosing the layouts. This will change the layout from round to squared corners.<i><b> Love that!</b></i><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<b>This next one below</b> was originally going to be an "insert" but I may just make it the right hand side. I used some big camera photos here along with a Collect photo. Cards from Oh Snap! Boutique and a little<a href="http://aliedwards.com/shop/brushes/you-are-loved" target="_blank"> Ali Edwards word art </a>as well from her digital set "You are Loved"<br />
<br />
I did all of this page with the combination of Letterglow and PL app (plus Dropbox!)<br />
<br />
Totally fun page and it makes me happy!<b> <i>love her Christmas joy!</i></b><br />

<br />
<div>
<b>Page below: </b>this is the original right hand page. I wanted to play with exporting the photos from Collect at landscape 4x6 so I used some of my favorites from the prior page along with a big camera photo.<br />
<br />
I love it! The photos are bigger which is a plus! I foresee myself doing this quite a bit more this year!<br />
<br />
Again, cards are from Oh Snap! Boutique. I added the text in the red striped card in PSE after the fact. So, I exported it from the app and then added the text in PSE on the computer. Not my first choice, but am finding that getting the borders on the text boxes the way I like to be a challenge on the phone. So, while I'm waiting for updates I may just take the easy way out and instead of being frustrated, just add text after the fact. While I was in PSE I added the overlays from Oh Snap! as well.<br />
<br />
It worked fine, but I think I would rather have the finished typed up cards added to the app versus after the fact. That way I have essentially a psd file in the app that can be changed easier.<br />
<br />
But still, it's done and that's my main goal here!<br />

I will be back later this week to share a few more layouts for this week.<br />
<br />
Still loving this process. I even ordered a bunch (19) that I have finished and can't wait to get them. I sent them to <a href="http://persnicketyprints.com/" target="_blank">Persnickety Prints</a> and am eagerly awaiting these! I need to have finished layouts that I can touch and see.<br />
<br />
Also sometimes I like to add physical embellishments to these digital pages. Previously when I did a digital page I would print at 10x10 and then mount it on a 12x12 piece of white cardstock. That way I could feel like I could add physical products easier as well. I may experiment with this for Project Life pages. For now I just asked them to add a white border and hoping this will give a little more white space too.<br />
<br />
Anyways, can't wait to hear and see how it is going for you! Let me know if you have any questions!<br />

Hello again! Back again sharing a few more things I've been playing around with. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
You may have heard of it. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
It's the<a href="http://beckyhiggins.com/project-life-app/" target="_blank"> Project Life App</a> from Becky Higgins and team. And it's pretty awesome. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I had a chance to be a part of the beta testing and was able to use it to get a month of 2013 layouts and more done with it for the class. One of the things I tried to do was to use it to "keep up while catching up" and it worked pretty well. I think for most normal weeks it works well for me.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
In fact, during class one of the students and I made a challenge to work on that week with the app and see how it went. So I did that and thought it was pretty awesome. And so I did the following week as well. I'll share the other one soon. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So here is week 47. I've never been one to try to number my weeks because I wanted the flexibility to change things up. But…if this works for me, I might try it! It's kind of fun! </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Have no idea what week it is? I usually google it. I've found a site <a href="http://www.epochconverter.com/date-and-time/weeknumbers-by-year.php" target="_blank">here</a> that tells you what week of the year it is. Kinda cool. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Here is the full two page spread. I created a 24x12 canvas in PSE to put the two together after they were created. I just really like seeing the full two page spread together. It helps me to see the layout as a whole and creates more cohesion for me. Plus, I like to share it this way too.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I did the creation of this all on my iPhone.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
To begin with, I used my favorite <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/collect-photo-journal-everyday/id580393108?mt=8" target="_blank">Collect Photo App</a> to collect the photos and stories. Then I exported and saved them to my camera roll at the 3x4 size. I chose not to add the print bleed since I was just dropping them into the app and I think they worked well.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
For a video tutorial on how to export, click<a href="http://annetteharing.blogspot.com/2014/01/just-like-magic-video-tutorial-on.html" target="_blank"> here</a>. Note, the latest version is slightly different, but still similar enough. I plan to do a new tutorial this coming year on my process (once I get it worked out.)</div>

<br />
<div>
Here is the left side. I used the Midnight edition in the app for the title and week in review card. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Then the "This is Daily Life" word art is from <a href="http://aliedwards.com/shop/brushes/wash-your-hands" target="_blank">Ali Edwards</a>. From the <a href="http://aliedwards.com/shop/brushes/wash-your-hands" target="_blank">"Wash Your Hands"</a> set. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
To create that, I used the another app from the creator of Collect called<a href="http://letterglow.com/" target="_blank"> Letterglow</a>. It works great and lets you import .png files (for word art.) Hello awesome! I also plan to do a tutorial for this sometime too. (note that you can use .png files in the PL app if they are already sized correctly -- for instance Ali's fall cards worked great. I will share that in another post.)</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
Basically, in the Project Life app, I created a collage with the 2 on a 4x6 and added the kraft paper card and the heart card and then exported and saved to my camera roll.<br />
<br />
Then brought them into Letterglow to play around with adding word art and type on the cards.<br />
<br />

<br />
And for the right side:<br />
<br />
For this page I added IKEA RUN and the Everyday Love in Letterglow (to the cards I had exported from the app. I also had to crop each to 3x4 in PicTapGo to make it work like I wanted. See--still working out my process.)<br />
<br />
Then I just saved them and then added them back to the app. Yes, it would be awesome if we didn't have to toggle back and forth. But seriously, this is just such a huge step forward for mobile memory keeping! I hope it will come with later versions. But for now, this works pretty well for me.<br />
<br />
Also note there are lots of other apps that let you add text to photos and use .png files. This is just one I'm familiar with and the easiest for me to use at this time.<br />
<br />
And here's a close up of my week in review and the Ali Edwards word art. And if you look closely at the photo on the bottom right above: the Thanksgiving preparation one: see if you can find the giant balloon that was in our house for over a month. My niece and nephew got a kick out of it too.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJbdioh6uVfWiheLrfl1OIaHNbalq-ZTl3XB1Yr8yNXRVpDqv1kCwGVUl22foZWMKoj4_6nQGQP9gMLH7L9ZMNwzcd1b-2knyRNzTR6C9voPy2ccqBxCai3R90fp2_j7LQ14gs6j_3sTs/s1600/AH_PL_WK47DETAIL.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJbdioh6uVfWiheLrfl1OIaHNbalq-ZTl3XB1Yr8yNXRVpDqv1kCwGVUl22foZWMKoj4_6nQGQP9gMLH7L9ZMNwzcd1b-2knyRNzTR6C9voPy2ccqBxCai3R90fp2_j7LQ14gs6j_3sTs/s1600/AH_PL_WK47DETAIL.jpg" /></a></div>
<br />
The result? I pretty much love it. I can tinker around a bit on my lunch break or before bed. I'm still in tinker mode. Meaning, I'm just playing around with it to see how to make it work best for me. (note I may have nothing done in my December Daily but I pretty much have four pages done already in the app for December! More on that to come.)<br />
<br />
My plan for Project Life in 2015 is going to be to use this for my base spreads. I will use a D-ring 12x12 binder. I just picked up two of <a href="http://www.shopbeckyhiggins.com/collections/12x12-cloth-albums-physical-albums/products/grey-12x12-cloth-album-physical-albums" target="_blank">these</a> from Becky's site during the cyber Monday sale. That way I can still add in physical pocket pages as well. At least for the first part of 2015 that is the plan. The idea is that I will use the extra time I save (hopefully) to catch up on some old projects and maybe, just maybe finish up my Week in the Life and December Daily projects.<br />
<br />
So here is a look at how I'm beginning to use the Project Life App. I'll be back to share more. And it includes more Design A and other styles. The fun thing about the app: no worries about what goes on the backside! You can just create for the photos you have! Pretty cool.<br />
<br />
I think I like it.<br />

Hooray! Hooray! Just wanted to say thank you to everyone who took our recent class <a href="http://www.bigpictureclasses.com/classes/details/catch-up-project-life" target="_blank">Catch Up with Project Life at Big Picture Classes.</a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
It was really fun to see so many people get inspired and actually GET PAGES DONE!! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b><i>So awesome. </i></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
One of the cool things we did for the class was have a Big Party at the end, where we had 12 wonderful and amazing guests share their take on the challenges, and we also took on the other teachers' challenges. It was fun and so awesome to get inspiration from so many different styles and approaches. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<i>A few things I've learned:</i> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This community of Project Lifer's and scrapbookers and photographers and memory keepers is awesome.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Behind the scenes preparation is more than most people think. More than I thought. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
It takes time to learn to be a better online teacher.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
It takes better equipment. I hope to get some better equipment to make it easier. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
It takes time and it takes heart.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
It's not easy. I am thankful to those online teachers who put their heart into their work. I try to be one of those.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
As Austin Kleon says, "write the story you want to read." I took that to mean, "teach the class you want to take" and so I went that route. I put my heart and time into it. I tried. I really tried. I was vulnerable and put myself out there. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
And I'm so thankful. So incredibly thankful to those who have taken the time to let me know how much they learned, how much they were inspired and how much they created! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I know there are many online options now. It seems everywhere you look, there is this class or this sub or this thing. So I just wanted to say thank you for your time, your support and your feedback. It really helps.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<i><b>So thank you. </b></i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
And where to go from here? I'll be working on my own <a href="http://beckyhiggins.com/" target="_blank">Project Life</a> and other projects as well as pages for <a href="http://aliedwards.com/" target="_blank">Ali Edwards Digital Creative team</a>. I plan to take some time off teaching online. It was a good learning experience, but my family needs me right now. I may be back, who knows? I plan to continue practicing with making videos, etc when I can and hope I can find time to share them. So who knows? When things settle down I may be back! :)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
And definitely if you are looking for more classes with inspiration and encouragement for Project Life, I highly recommend checking out <a href="http://thenerdnest.com/" target="_blank">Megan Anderson</a>. She is an amazing person and an amazing online teacher. I am so thankful for her guidance and inspiration and it was the most fun coming up with the class with her.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
And keep an eye on my friend <a href="http://trishaharrison.typepad.com/" target="_blank">Trisha Harrison</a>! Her work is beautiful and inspiring as is she! I'm so thankful she was a part of the class as well! And so thankful for her beautiful brush script which she let me use for this post. Definitely keep an eye out for her and hoping she will start selling her beautiful art!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Okay, not sure why I felt compelled to share all of this. I just wanted to say thank you for your support. And a reminder that as <a href="http://aliedwards.com/" target="_blank">Ali</a> says, "you are right where you are supposed to be."</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Hooray!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>

I'm excited to share with you a few layouts I have recently created for the <a href="http://aliedwards.com/" target="_blank">Ali Edwards</a> <a href="http://aliedwards.com/digital-creative-team" target="_blank">Digital Creative Team</a>. I know, I know. Still pinching myself! I just love her products and they work so great with the stories I want to tell.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b><i>First up: Everyday Love</i></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This is a two page layout in my 2014 Week in the Life. The pages are 6x8 in size each. The beautiful words from Ali's <a href="http://aliedwards.com/shop/brushes/stories-of-life" target="_blank">Stories of Life</a> set just jumped out at me so I created a background patterned paper from two of the words and then repeated that "everyday love" at the bottom of the right hand side. I also just used the one "story" at the top of the second page which created a nice visual triangle there. I can't tell you how much I love script + type + photos. I added a simple chipboard circle that I had painted gold and a silver glitter letter sticker. Love this layout.</div>

<b><i>Next up: Jingle All the Way</i></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This is a two page (6x8 size) layout from my 2012 December Daily / Bucket List album. I posted this one on Instagram and commented about the upside of taking a long time to finish projects is that new fun products come out that can spark you to finish a page. It's another way of looking at being content with where you are in your process. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The set I used here is the <a href="http://aliedwards.com/shop/brushes/merry-bright-text-overlays" target="_blank">Merry and Bright Text Overlays.</a> Oh, how I adore overlays! These are so fun because they add a softness at the edge that is so cool. I just added the .png file right over the photo and turned it white. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
For the title I cut out the original words, enlarged them and added them to their own layers to make "Jingle All the Way" stand out a little more as the title.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
And it's hard to see, but I also used "holiday delights" on the grey card with white handwriting to list all the delights of the night. Also, at the bottom of Ali's "remember this moment" card, I printed just the "merry & bright" words from that file. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
To print onto regular journaling cards, I created a new 3x4 file in PSE and added the overlay, printed it on white copy paper, then taped the card onto the paper and ran it through the printer again. It worked great! Only I had taped along the bottom of that grey one, so there was empty space when I removed the tape. No worries! I just started adding silver washi and then it just kept going! So I ended up lining both cards with silver washi tape. Fun way to make mistakes work in your favor! Just cover them up! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Anyways, I adore this page as I've been wanting to use jingle bells for quite some time and finally made it happen! I picked these up at my local craft store and had to use metallic thread instead of twine because the bell is quite tiny (I didn't want to add too much bulk.) I added some gold chipboard to play off the sequins I added to the confetti / star pocket. It's attached with a glue dot and redline tape on the outside of the page protector. I may stitch it down too once I have the backside finished. </div>

Was hoping to add more detail shots, but I figured something is better than nothing! And again, I just loved working with these products and really love being able to finish up some pages in my projects.<br />

<div>
<i>avoiding </i>blogging and cleaning up the giant mess that is my desk.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<i>playing</i> with the Project Life App and seeing if it will help me for my Project Life in 2015. 90% sure that's how I'm going…at least for the first half of the year.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<i>planning</i> to finish decorating and cleaning up the boxes as well as my scrap space this weekend.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<i>hoping</i> to find time to work on December Daily. In the meantime, I'm taking photos and a few notes here and there. Mainly trying to capture at least a story each day.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<i>learning</i> to be okay with not keeping up / comparing myself to others. I'm right where I need to be.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<i>embracing</i> the fun that comes with having a four year old at Christmastime. Love her Christmas cheer.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<i>wishing</i> I had time and energy to make more things happen. Things like a cute advent calendar and other things on Pinterest. Ahh. Pinterest. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<i>celebrating</i> all the little things we have been able to do and are planning to do this season.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<i>cherishing</i> my daughter at this age. Tonight she asked, "mom, do you never want me to grow up?" Of course the right answer is that I will love her at all her ages. And I have and I will. But man, I just adore this age. I just hugged her and said, "I will love you for forever and a day." To which she replied, "I just want to stay a kid so I can wear cute pajamas." Oh girl, you have my heart.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<i>thankful </i>for each day I have with her and thankful for the sweet girl she is.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<i>feeling</i> the need to journal more. Thus, this blog post. Looking to get a notebook to start journaling again. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<i>hoping</i> to blog more about my recent layouts for <a href="http://aliedwards.com/digital-creative-team" target="_blank">Ali's creative team</a>. For now, I'll just share the pics I submitted for my assignments. I also have some video in the works for my foundation pages and <a href="http://aliedwards.com/projects/december-daily" target="_blank">December Daily </a>prep I wanted to share. <i>sigh</i>. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<i>adoring </i>being able to be on this team and being able to work with Ali's beautiful products. So thankful to be a part of it.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<i>wondering </i>what 2015 will bring. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<i>remembering</i> the good and the challenging times this year. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<i>looking</i> forward to changing my <a href="http://aliedwards.com/projects/one-little-word" target="_blank">One Little Word</a>. It's been a good year with magic but I'm ready to get on with some things in my life. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<i>listening</i> to my December playlist on repeat and loving it. Also listening for my word and excited about this coming year.<br />
<br />
<i>currently</i> I should really try to finish up this list and will probably grab another frozen Peppermint Patty. It's the only way I can eat them but I love them this time of year.<br />
<br />
<i>What's on your currently list? Would love to hear.</i></div>

<br />
Hello! This past week I spent time photographing and documenting a regular week in our lives. I've captured things like how our bed looks unmade, the giant stack of stuffed animals in my daughter's room, places we went, things we did. The regular and the new. It was a good week. Busy week. But a good week.<br />
<br />
During the week I don't have much time to put things together. My focus is on living life and capturing it as I can in words and photos.<br />
<br />
But I did get a chance to prepare some things before the week and it really helped me get in the mindset and get excited about it.<br />
<br />
So I thought I would share a few of my preparations for Week in the Life™with you here.<br />
<br />
A little backstory: Week in the Life™ is a project created by Ali Edwards to capture a regular week in our lives. You can watch a video from Ali and read more about that <a href="http://aliedwards.com/projects/week-in-the-life" target="_blank">here</a>.<br />
<br />
I have tackled the project once a year since 2011. Have completed a full project once. My 2012 and 2013 albums are still in progress. You can find my 2011 album <a href="http://annetteharing.blogspot.com/2012/04/week-in-life-2011.html" target="_blank">here</a>.<br />
<br />
The great thing this year is that Ali has created a kit that can make the project easier. You can find that <a href="http://aliedwards.com/preorder/week-in-the-life" target="_blank">here</a>. If it is sold out, you can absolutely create your own kit. I have for the past three years and have loved it. You can read about my 2012 plan <a href="http://annetteharing.blogspot.com/2012/04/week-in-life-2012-preparations.html" target="_blank">here</a>.<br />
<br />
Also be sure to check out Ali's post about getting ready <a href="http://aliedwards.com/2014/10/week-in-the-life-2014-getting-ready" target="_blank">here</a>. Lots of good information and inspiration. Basically all you need!<br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>Please note even though I am on Ali's digital creative team, I would be using her digital templates anyways, as you can tell from my past projects. I'm just super thankful I can use the digital supplies and show inspiration on these products this year. Otherwise, I have no affiliation with Ali for this kit. Just sharing things I love and hoping to inspire you too!</i><br />
<br />
When I was getting ready for the week, I was inspired by Kristin to share a bit more about the kit. Check out her awesome post of preparation<a href="http://rukristin.com/blog/2014/10/prepping-for-success-my-week-in-the-life-album/" target="_blank"> here</a>.<br />
<br />
Here is a video about my preparations + photos below. Let me know if you have any questions and if you like this type of video. I can do shorter but often I get carried away in details. Let me know as I am considering sharing more video here similar to what I do in classes.<br />

Sharing my preparations for Week in the Life™ 2014 using the Ali Edwards kit + supplies from my stash.<br />
<br />
And here are some photos of my preparations. Album with title page on the left, supplies from the kit + my stash on the right. I use paper trays from Target for my organization and as well as trays, baskets, etc. The little white bowls you see in the box are from Ikea and the round ones are from Target. The really small one is an antique butter pat dish. Love those and things like Jello molds for organizing the little things. But that's for another post.<br />

A look at my title page so far. I painted the chipboard numbers to white and used the 2x2 pocket page for them. They fit perfect with the added paint and may not even need stitching! I think I will add a 2x2 page at the very end for consistency too.</div>

Will be using the 3x8 daily sheets for documenting each day. On the back I can use photos, more journaling cards / more stories. A collage of receipts would be cool too but I think that's what I will be using in the daily bags.</div>

And just a final note about my camera gear. Like I mentioned in the video, I was feeling a bit down because I didn't have an awesome lifestyle / documentary type lens. My kit lens has died so I don't have a wide angle anymore and then there is the wish that I had a better camera body, etc. This older rebel is five years old now. I happened upon this post at Clickin Moms and it hit me: love the camera you have. So I embraced the cameras and used what I had this week. And you know? It was awesome. I loved trying to play with my Olloclip more. I backed way up and tried lots of angles with my 50mm. I think I did a good job. At least for where I am now. It was good. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So if you are feeling similarly, I give you this challenge: use the camera you have. At least we can get some photos. At least we can capture life. Isn't that what it's all about?</div>

I have been using Ali's products for a long time and basically learned how to use digital products from her and<a href="http://www.cathyzielske.com/" target="_blank"> Cathy Zielske</a>. I am a huge fan of both of them. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
When Ali launched her new site this August, to say I was excited was an understatement. I was working hard on all my own new class content and yet a part of me just wanted to delete the blog, delete everything and just be inspired by her and go tell stories with photos and words. Seriously! I was like, this is it! I could just quit everything I am doing and go tell stories and be happy. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
And I'm really glad I didn't quit. Thankful I pushed through and am really happy with the opportunity to continue to learn and grow and also to help others. And I'm so so excited to be able to use Ali's products to help me tell my stories. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
If you are interested in learning more about Ali's digital products, click <a href="http://aliedwards.com/shop/digital" target="_blank">here</a>. There is a good mix of products including word art, templates and printable cards. Lots of options for telling stories regardless of whether you are paper based or fully digital or a mix of both. I also subscribe to her <a href="http://aliedwards.com/themes/prompts" target="_blank">Story Stamp </a>club because I use traditional stamps as well. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Things you will likely see from me: a mix of it all! I love it all and can't help it! I use Ali's word art directly on photos before printing. I use her templates in my Week in the Life and December Daily. I also like making my own filler cards and journaling cards for Project Life with her supplies. I will have Project Life layouts as well as some more traditional ones and enlarged photos. I may even get the Sihouette working again! The cool thing is there are so many options and many ways to learn and grow as well. <i>Can you tell I'm excited?!</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Here are a few samples from me. Here I used one of her overlays from Designer Digitals to create a title card in my January 2014 Project Life. Her set is called Hello Life 12x12 Text Overlays. You can find that <a href="http://www.designerdigitals.com/digital-scrapbooking/supplies/product_info.php/products_id/13915" target="_blank">here</a>.</div>

Currently I have finishing up my December Daily on the brain since Ali introduced the <a href="http://aliedwards.com/preorder/december-daily" target="_blank">preorder</a> for this year's kit. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Here is a look at how I use her templates as an overlay over the photos as well as printed the smaller 3x4 card out and just printed and used it in the album. You can find those at Designer Digitals <a href="http://www.designerdigitals.com/digital-scrapbooking/supplies/product_info.php/products_id/16943" target="_blank">here </a>and <a href="http://www.designerdigitals.com/digital-scrapbooking/supplies/product_info.php/products_id/16917" target="_blank">here</a>.</div>

You can also see in my sneaks for <a href="http://www.bigpictureclasses.com/classes/details/catch-up-project-life?afl=36966" target="_blank">Catch Up with Project Life</a> how I used her <a href="http://www.designerdigitals.com/digital-scrapbooking/supplies/product_info.php/products_id/14924" target="_blank">December Daily 3x4 Journal Cards</a> in my 2012 December Daily in Project Life. (available at Designer Digitals.)

<br />
And seriously, the list could go on. I am thankful for all I have learned from Ali over the years and all I will continue to learn! I'm very thankful also for a good friend who encouraged me to apply. <i>thank you!</i><br />
<br />
And lastly, I will share a story that's still kind of raw and near to my heart. Putting together class content isn't easy for me. I always try to do too much and making it work + balancing family, work, etc almost got the better of me this round. Found myself on the floor for a few hours one day wondering how I would do it all. Wondering if I should just call it quits, etc. Somehow I found the strength to be brave and found the peace that it would all work out. Am very thankful for that moment. So when I saw Ali's <a href="http://aliedwards.com/shop/brushes/be-brave" target="_blank">Be Brave word art</a>, I knew I wanted to capture that moment in a layout. Here is the digital version. I think I may print this out and add something, or I may not. We'll see.<br />

Hello my fellow Project-Lifers! I am so beyond thrilled to be sharing my latest collaborative class at <a href="http://www.bigpictureclasses.com/classes/details/catch-up-project-life?afl=36966" target="_blank">Big Picture Classes</a> called <a href="http://www.bigpictureclasses.com/classes/details/catch-up-project-life?afl=36966" target="_blank">Catch Up with Project Life</a>!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
It is a 3 week online class taught by me, <a href="http://thenerdnest.com/" target="_blank">Megan Anderson</a> and <a href="http://trishaharrison.typepad.com/" target="_blank">Trisha Harrison</a>. It starts October 30th but registration is open now so you can get started on the first three challenges. Cost is only $30 for some amazing content, prizes and a lot more!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
It is all about <i>MAKING PROGRESS</i> and <i>HAVING FUN </i>with filling in gaps or "catching up" with our Project Life. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
It is about joining together as a community to inspire and uplift one another. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
It is about letting go of guilt and getting more done.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
It is about welcoming beginners and helping seasoned Project Lifers find their groove.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Are you excited yet?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Below are some peeks at some of the layouts I have created for this class. I just counted the pages I have created and I am blown away. For this chronically behind, gap-laden Project Lifer, I have created or filled in pretty big gaps for over 40 pages and caught up on over three months of Project Life, all while staying <i>somewhat</i> current. It's seriously cool. I am more motivated than ever to keep going back and start filling in the smaller gaps. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<i>And yet…I have never technically "finished" a Project Life album. </i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Why would I share that with you when I am supposed to be "an expert?" <i>(who knows what that really means anyways.) </i>But seriously, I share that because I am just like you. I am a busy working mom. I love taking photos and memory keeping. I dabble in the online scrapbooking world. I love to start projects. I really do. I just have a hard time finishing them!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I share that because when my family looks at my albums, they focus on all that I have created. The memories and moments that are captured. Not that my use of visual triangles or rounded versus squared corners. They are just happy to see photos and read stories. And yes, I'm happy my daughter loves stickers and embellishments too. But that's beside the point.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The point is: memory keeping with Project Life is awesome! But like with any attempt at chronological documentation, it is very easy to "fall behind" and have gaps in our albums. </div>

What is the class <i>NOT</i> about?</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This class is not about seeing who has the most gaps. </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This is not about seeing who is the best at keeping up. </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This class is not about saying you have to do it our way. </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This class is not a race or a competition to see who can create the most layouts. </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
It is about learning techniques and principles to help you fill in gaps and possibly keep current while doing so. </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The main idea is that we have created 12 challenges, each with lots of instruction including video presentations, video tutorials, pdf handouts and bonus worksheets. These 12 challenges are designed around some of the main "reasons why" people fall behind or have gaps. And the fun thing: we have a prize for each challenge! So even more motivation to complete the challenges!</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
We also have bonus collaborative handouts tackling some other areas where people may struggle: <i>title pages</i>, <i>memorabilia</i> and how to handle those <i>"extra projects"</i> like Week in the Life™ or December Daily™.</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
As if that isn't enough, there will be emails throughout the week to help keep you motivated and inspired, including some printables.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
There will be a gallery and message boards + live video chats with the instructors.<br />
<br />
Yes, it's a lot! But wait, there's more! (<i>insert infomercial voice here!)</i></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Are you a beginner? We have you covered! We have tips for beginners as well as those who have been working on Project Life for a while. </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Are you current in your Project Life? We have tips and motivation for you as well with photo and journaling prompts to help inspire even more life documentation for the three weeks of class. Plus, you will be learning principles to help you as you move forward.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
And finally, we are going to be finishing the class with a big Catch Up with Project Life Party! A full 12 hours for us to play together with additional inspiration from us as well as some very special guests to help you really bust out and finish your pages for the challenges.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Needless to say, this class has been a labor of love. We really wanted to create something that would be fun + inspirational + focus on getting more done. We are not perfect. This class is likely not perfect. But I think it's pretty darn good and I really hope you will join us.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So here are a few of my sneaks and you can click<b> <a href="http://www.bigpictureclasses.com/classes/details/catch-up-project-life?afl=36966" target="_blank">here</a></b> to find out more about the class and sign up. (I have a coupon code below as well.)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<i><b>Big Hint</b></i>: if you sign up now, you can get started on our first 3 challenges in pre class. That's right! It's like getting an extra week of class and it will give you time to figure out what you want to work on and get ready for the rest of the class.</div>

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
First up: one big tip. If you are going to be working on pages from various years, I highly recommend grabbing an extra album if you have one available. It really helped me keep focused just on the layouts I wanted to work on and it was super motivating to see this album fill up. The album I used is this one: this really fun black and white striped album from the Heidi Swapp Project Life edition. You can find that <a href="https://beckyhiggins.com/product/black-white-stripe-designer-album/" target="_blank">here</a> or at your local Michael's store.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Seriously, this album is almost full now!</div>

Have big gaps? I had two big gaps in my 2013 album. Seriously, this was what my October and November 2013 looked like when I started.<br />

And yes, those are sneak peeks of pages created using the newly released Project Life® App!! Check out more information about that from Becky Higgins <a href="https://beckyhiggins.com/project-life-app-is-live/" target="_blank">here</a>.<br />
<br />
Do you have smaller areas to fill in? We have ideas for that too.<br />
<br />
I fell behind with my attempt to do a photo a day for December Daily™ in December of 2012. I was able to complete the month following the principles in class and I have ideas on how to finish that year's December Daily™ too!<br />

<br />
Hi everyone! I've been gathering some fun supplies to share for my first "Thank You Giveaway"<br />
<br />
What better way to celebrate 3000 followers on Instagram than a 30 Lists inspired giveaway? In July I noticed I was pretty close to 3000 and I started thinking about what might be a fun giveaway. Something to do with Project Life? Create a mini kit to giveaway? Of course you may know I love doing both of those things.<br />
<br />
But something else I love is this wonderfully simple side project. <a href="http://30daysoflists.com/register/" target="_blank">30 Lists</a>. If you haven't heard about it, you can click<a href="http://30daysoflists.com/register/" target="_blank"> here</a> to find out all about it. The best part? Only $10. And you get lots of inspiration and a wonderful community of listers.<br />
<br />
I did my first little list + photo journal in September 2012. I was pretty burned out with Project Life at the time, struggling to find my way with that, and I just wanted something different. I had seen people posting about it on Instagram the spring before then, so when I saw it being offered again, I just had to try it.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEieZMAORHLtm9ClUJIaefOHBjpMe4BrkYNoA8qfOCBBdbqi9gNnNkk9U46clAMR9M4S6na50XNl_yISk1UfZduXeS__28JWyv-iVMCuitzyumazxB5F_wcFGa9sMGLzjOANMhUz-OXGOPo/s1600/1AnnetteHaring30Lists.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEieZMAORHLtm9ClUJIaefOHBjpMe4BrkYNoA8qfOCBBdbqi9gNnNkk9U46clAMR9M4S6na50XNl_yISk1UfZduXeS__28JWyv-iVMCuitzyumazxB5F_wcFGa9sMGLzjOANMhUz-OXGOPo/s1600/1AnnetteHaring30Lists.jpg" height="640" width="608" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
<br />
So I went to Barnes and Noble and grabbed a Moleskine kraft journal with grid paper (my fave) and started listing. I had recently found a Polaroid app on my iMac and I just thought that would be so cool to have a photo representing the list as well. Simple additions: washi tape, a few embellishments, stamps for the dates and numbers and a new favorite pen. I typed up the list titles and printed them out, trimmed and added them to the lists. Simple and inspiring for me at a time when I needed it. I loved it.<br />
<br />
Funny thing is, it is the most popular post on my blog! Which is pretty cool.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGW9yL0PuXTEb6F6oasgJE5KD3H98U9sPSwpsU-G_PotrrBqgr3hHsUXIvaL3X6Nmj6ggys3fLcDnStrKZcH9qjbGB8QtEx9qFC4ZHYlzqeOoWicKSQKqzWtrIRaAOuGoU2Bxdy-QJM50/s1600/7AnnetteHaring30Lists.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGW9yL0PuXTEb6F6oasgJE5KD3H98U9sPSwpsU-G_PotrrBqgr3hHsUXIvaL3X6Nmj6ggys3fLcDnStrKZcH9qjbGB8QtEx9qFC4ZHYlzqeOoWicKSQKqzWtrIRaAOuGoU2Bxdy-QJM50/s1600/7AnnetteHaring30Lists.jpg" height="572" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
So, if you like listing and you like little journals, this giveaway is for you! You could also use the journal for anything from an inspiration journal, a to-do list or something else entirely. But seriously, this notebook is so cute you will want it for something special.<br />
<br />
The notebook is a hand-stitched Moleskine from the fabulous Elizabeth Rosemond. I met her through Instagram and have had the great pleasure of meeting her in person! She is truly wonderful and truly talented. The next version of 30 Lists I used a very similar version as the one I am giving away. (yes, I still need to blog that one.) :)<br />

--For the photos, this round I am using this cool service called <a href="http://www.origrami.com/" target="_blank">Origrami</a>. It's a really fun way to include Instagrams. You will get a $30 gift certificate to use for any project you want. They have square print and Polaroid / Retro versions as well. Both will fit the Moleskine beautifully. Or just use them for another project. The choice is yours! You can find out more about them <a href="http://www.origrami.com/" target="_blank">here.</a> <i>(note you can only order from your Instagram account; if you win this and don't use Instagram or would like another option, we can work something out. Also note the photos are from my personal stash and are not included.)</i></div>

Some tips on stamping in this Moleskine: the papers are archival but they are thin. I use chalk inks primarily. Dye inks or pigment inks tend to bleed through too much. Note there are plenty of pages in the journal and the last several are perforated so you could tear a page out and practice to see if your inks or pens bleed through too much for your liking.</div>

<br />
As you can see, the Color Theory ink bleeds through just a bit. Other inks I have tried bleed through a lot more. I recommend playing around on one of the extra pages to see what works for you.<br />

There are options for whichever memory keeping method you prefer: Project Life, scrapbook layouts, your journal, blog, social media, etc. I love this! There is no one right way and it's great we have options. Even if you normally do one thing, you may find you enjoy trying something new.<br />

Check out the video for more information. It's really good and makes me want to take some of these quizzes as well! In fact, Angie has some sample quizzes available for free <a href="http://my.bigpictureclasses.com/sneakpeek/Quizapalooza-bonusquizzes.pdf" target="_blank">here</a>.<br />
<br />
Let me know if you try these out! I'll be working on mine as well. And if I had time I would show you my "Groovy Little Book of Quizzes" that I made using quizzes from Simple Scrapbooks back in the day. But, I figured you might like a chance to win and so I will go ahead and post this. Done is better than perfect, right? Still, you get the idea…I love quizzes for journaling and page / story prompts.<br />
<br />
And I can't wait for this class!<br />

Welcome back! Sharing my second layout for <a href="http://www.studiocalico.com/kits/sandlot-project-life-kit" target="_blank">Studio Calico's Project Life® kit</a>. The photos were taken in May, and as you can see, only two days of the week were featured in the spread. Sometimes I take a lot of one event, and that's ok! I love how this layout came together very quickly with the cards from the Sandlot kit +<a href="http://www.studiocalico.com/digital/printable-journal-cards-shapes/sandlot-printable-by-lifelovepaper" target="_blank"> printables from Life Love Paper</a>.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

First, the full two page left and right sided spread. Just doing what I do…Collect photos, filler cards, journaling cards and a little sprinkling of embellishments (the cute gold heart brad and the pink work strip stickers.) Continuing with my Maggie quote and week in review card as well to round out the stories.</div>

<br />
The left side. On the currently card, I just added one of the printables from Life Love Paper, cut it out and added it to a white 3x4 card, then I hand wrote in some currently facts.<i> (tip: really happy I had written down some of the regular going-on's in my calendar that week. Made it very easy to fill in the journaling this week. Note to self: even just bits and pieces of the week written down in my calendar makes it easy to do past "fill in the gaps" weeks.)</i><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPGcUA1FP9_ERDAPw2avpiq22OvqaFrX7c7Jt2Dz_8I4ayGSUrOaZvkF-5cQ8prutP2X79n8VVLGPhLPhu3ONHgXEgybFWX68HAs1DTm7_1kZUjxdr_eClbk9ggeLgjGOv36cza8L7PU0/s1600/AnnetteHaring_SC_Guest_AugustPL2_leftside.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPGcUA1FP9_ERDAPw2avpiq22OvqaFrX7c7Jt2Dz_8I4ayGSUrOaZvkF-5cQ8prutP2X79n8VVLGPhLPhu3ONHgXEgybFWX68HAs1DTm7_1kZUjxdr_eClbk9ggeLgjGOv36cza8L7PU0/s1600/AnnetteHaring_SC_Guest_AugustPL2_leftside.jpg" height="640" width="604" /></a></div>
<br />
Closer look at the title card. Simply stamping the dates with a roller date stamp works well for me. <i>(tip: I stamp the second date first to make sure I have room for both.)</i><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghxuUuHFmo8n4EcLzYiGrUVP3DM3vNKRovJGisUJMItP1svUOac0vDI5YPImUGT-M6XTLmex1tp6pMBGZRtEpiLVuiQBXMyqXXokIjkAomirJHZUVUXUXZX8YHqA6HeUwLnjoOsoshzgU/s1600/AnnetteHaring_SC_Guest_August_PLspread2_leftsidedetail1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghxuUuHFmo8n4EcLzYiGrUVP3DM3vNKRovJGisUJMItP1svUOac0vDI5YPImUGT-M6XTLmex1tp6pMBGZRtEpiLVuiQBXMyqXXokIjkAomirJHZUVUXUXZX8YHqA6HeUwLnjoOsoshzgU/s1600/AnnetteHaring_SC_Guest_August_PLspread2_leftsidedetail1.jpg" height="488" width="640" /></a></div>
I printed out the "made this" card and stamped the boxes with the stamp from the Repeat add on to make a recipe card. I just looked up the recipe on Pinterest and added it here. The "made by" is from the stamp from the main kit.<br />
<br />
<br />

Right side. Documenting our trip to the library. The cards were just too perfect for this page! Really loved it. (<i>Wishing I had photographed or at least written down what books we checked out, but at least I got some pics and am happy with how it turned out. Thank you, mobile phone!)</i><br />

I added the "this is my today" from the stamp set from the <a href="http://www.studiocalico.com/kits/repeater" target="_blank">Repeat add on </a>as well. Great stamp set for adding bits like this to Project Life.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

So there it is! Another simple spread. These fill the core of my album, and if I want to and have time, I can always add photos from my big camera as inserts. But for me, at least I have something and even better…something that I love!</div>

<br /></div>
But first, a big thanks to everyone for the wonderful support! I am very happy with the layouts that I was able to create with the kits, and wish I had more time to create more. I loved these kits. The kits + the printables really helped me come up with story and layout ideas, and were very simple to incorporate in my Project Life.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So first, the main kit only layout. You can see it at the Studio Calico site <a href="http://www.studiocalico.com/galleries/131818-guest-designer-sandlot-pl-kit-main-only" target="_blank">here</a>.<i> (my kit shipped to me before all the items were in the warehouse, so I wasn't able to use more items.)</i> Not a big deal because I'm a pretty simple scrapbooker, but I'm sad I wasn't able to incorporate more items. <i>(still I can't complain…it was an amazing opportunity and I feel extremely grateful!)</i></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So here we go! This is a left and right sided layout using Collect photos and the kit. It's from an adapted "week 20" which is around the middle of May. This layout included Mother's Day and some everyday life photos. I had taken pics of my happy mail reward after being on a spending freeze, so it was fun to incorporate them here.</div>

This is the left side, which includes a "title" card, which is simply the dates that the photos were included in. (most of them anyways…I'm fairly lenient on the dates and weeks. I just go with what works.) </div>

<br />
Here is the right side. I included a week in review that I created in PSE (similar to the one I use from Tracy Larsen.) Another thing I did was trim the black and white striped card in half to create a strong visual line to lead the eyes from the left to the right side of the page. I could have journaled in the lines, but I decided to use labels on the outside and then create flip style cards for additional photos and journaling.<br />

Another fun thing about the kit was the washi roll of stickers. That is where the OK circle came from. I really wanted to include this, but the flat looked better. But this is something cool--they fit perfectly over the small flair badges! So if there is a flair button that you are totally not into, these have cameras and icons that can help stretch your stash a bit. I love that and plan on taking a pic soon to share on Instagram.</div>

So there's my main only layout! I'll be back to share my other layouts soon.</div>

In the meantime, there are still kits available! Click <a href="http://www.studiocalico.com/kits/sandlot-project-life-kit" target="_blank">here</a> to find out more! And don't forget about the <a href="http://www.studiocalico.com/digital/printable-journal-cards-shapes" target="_blank">digital printables</a>! They are fantastic this month! I think that's going to be my new plan. Stretch my kit with the printables. It really helped me finish up my layouts. Can't wait to see what others create with these kits!</div>

Excited to share the rest of the gallery with you! Reveal is the 27th at 11 pm central US time (reveal for subscribers is in the morning at 11.) I just gotta say, I adore both of the add on PL kits. <i>Seriously adore</i>. I really wish I had more time to do more layouts that I had ideas for, but the kits came later than expected and I just ran out of time. Still, I have plans in the works for more layouts with these kits. The kits + the digital printables are seriously that good. They just work for the stories I want to tell and the photos I have. And I might just need another pack of those cute wood veneer letters. I adore them.</div>

Here & There Inspiration and Going PlacesHey guys! Class has officially started for these classes, but registration is still open, so there is still time for a giveaway!<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
I have one seat available for each of these awesome classes at Big Picture Classes: Here & There Inspiration taught by Kelly Purkey and Amy Tan; and Going Places taught <span style="font-family: inherit;">by <span style="background-color: white; color: #2e2d2b;">Katrina Kennedy, Tami Morrison, Angie Gutshall, and Kim Jeffress. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #2e2d2b;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #2e2d2b;">Both classes started on July 3rd, but have registration open until the 9th. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #2e2d2b;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #2e2d2b;">First up, is one of the 4Experts classes (one class each quarter is a 3 month long class taught by an expert or experts in the industry…no, you do not have to be an expert to take!) These are a little pricier, but you get them for 3 full months and they are packed with info. This one looks amazing, and how could it not…taught by the very inspirational Amy Tan and Kelly Purkey!</span><br />

Amy Tan and Kelly Purkey know this all too well. Amy (of "Amy Tangerine" fame) is a brand-new mama living in sunny Southern California, and Kelly is a big-city scrapbooker who has called Chicago and New York home. Both are sensational memory keepers who have inspired thousands of fellow scrapbookers through their blogs, product lines, books, classes, design-team work, and more.</span></div>
