project life in progress

I was finally inspired (motivated??) to work on my 2013 Project Life album today, so I spent a fair amount of the afternoon and all evening working on it. Here's a sneak peek at one of the pages:




For now, the bottom right is a blank pocket that is showcasing...my tablecloth. I have some journaling in mind that will soon replace it :)

This happens to be the left side of the two-page spread for Week One. I really set myself up well to work on it, thanks to the advice of Tracy Larsen. Basically, I created a folder in Dropbox entitled "Week One",  to which I uploaded all photos, journaling bits, and any other relevant things to remember, via iPhone, iPad, or computer. So, when I was ready to get to work today, the hard part was already done for me. That was so great!!

(And ridiculously easy.)

Too bad I haven't been that mindful of my Project Life intentions since :(

Lesson learned, though. Now that I've seen how helpful it was, I'm going to pick back up with and continue it from here on out.

I'm very excited with my progress so far. While I still agonized over some of the little details here and there, it was nothing like when I scrapbooked years ago. Project Life can be as simple or as complex as you want to make it, and that is one of the things I really appreciate the most about it.

Honestly? Filling each pocket feels like a little victory and I love that. LOVE.
