project life may 2014

May 28, 2014

project life may 2014 I’ve been meaning to really try out Project Life. I love all the spreads I see on Studio Calico, a scrapbook site I’m on, but I don’t think I could dedicate myself to a 12×12 album for a year. It just seems way too big for me, plus I love the 6×8 binder size better. 6×8 just seems more practical in size for storage and at this point in my life, I could use all the space savers I can get. For the beginning of the year, I had dedicated myself to a 7×9 binder to act as my “year binder.” I figured if I kept a binder solely for scrapped layouts and PL spreads, I’d have it filled by the end of the year. Well, I kept to my goal to scrap daily so well that by the end of April I had filled that binder up with a mixture of layouts, Project Life and art journaling to the point that I needed a new binder. Since I didn’t have a binder (and didn’t want to spend money on getting a new one), I emptied out my failed 2013 binder (“failed” because I started it in September and didn’t really stick to it), put the few spreads I had in that one at the beginning of my 2014 binder, and just reused my 2013 binder. It worked out so well that now I have a brand new binder with tons of inserts to be filled!

This time around though, I’m dedicating myself to doing solely Project Life in this binder. I started it in May because I finished April off in the other binder, plus I just got my first Studio Calico kit, which was May’s Camelot. So far so good! I’ve documented everything that happened in May thus far! Having Project Life in the back of my head has really gotten me to start taking more pictures. I’ve been making a conscious effort to bring my camera wherever I go and afterwards, I’ve gotten into the habit of printing my pictures right away, so that I have mini piles of photos to scrap. The mere sight of photos laying around really have motivated me in actually getting spreads done. And once I get into a groove, it’s really fun and I don’t stop until I get sleepy (I scrap in the evenings, so I basically scrap ’til I drop). I’ve also been getting into my stash, which is wonderful. Things that I have bought and never used are now being opened and used. It really is a wonderful feeling because now it gives me some sort of justification to buying new scrap supplies!

Now, all I need is a new printer. My Canon Selphy has been acting wonky lately. Sometimes it reads my photos and other times it doesn’t. Sometimes it prints perfectly and other times my photos come out blurry. Then our main home printer sucks at printing photos, so printing my photos have been a bit frustrating lately. But who knew deciding on a new printer could be so hard? All of the printers I’m interested in have mixed reviews, which make it difficult for me to choose which to buy, so naturally I haven’t purchased one yet. I guess I’ll have to do a bit more research and just decide. Anyway, here are a few pictures of my new Project Life spreads!

    Nice spreads, I want to get into Project Life but my life doesn’t have space for it …yet. I like the color combos you used so fresh and pretty!

      Thanks! And you’ll start your PL when it feels right. It took me a little over a year to begin mine! I had everything I needed to begin, but IDK, it just wasn’t the right time yet. But once you’re ready, just dive right in! It’s so much fun!

I made a new snippet journal. This one is 6x6 and I'm going to use it as an art journal. I really really want to get back into art journaling. Like, it has been calling me for most of this year and I just haven't gotten back into the flow of it. I've been enjoying my time (writing) journaling, but there's this nagging feeling deep inside of me that wants to get messy but for some reason refuses to begin. So I think I'm just going to make myself begin. Just start and see what happens. I'm gonna make a lot of shitty art but if that's the means to begin then so be it

 Let's go make some shitty art. 

I hope I can begin this weekend. Process video of me creating this journal is up on my Youtube channel, if you're interested.

Happy Friday lovelies! xx

Still working through @lizelayne’s Water Your Soul course in my WYS journal. This little binder is getting so chunky! I still have lots to work through and am just merrily bouncing back and forth between lessons, anchoring myself in whatever practice my heart needs right now.

Today’s Flip-Through Friday is my Summer Stories 2023 journal.

This is sort of a hodge-podge journal of all sorts of bits—memories, junk, photos, art journal spreads, and lots of journaling. I've kept it all summer and it's now filled and completed and ready to share.

Here's just a quick flip-through. I've got a full chatty flip up on my Youtube channel if that's more your speed.

Happy Friday loves! xx

I finally finished filling up my 2023 Summer Stories journal. I had originally intended to only keep this one from June to July, but I didn't journal as much as I thought I would in here this summer, so it has lasted me through to the first few days of September. I'm not mad about it. I prefer a filled journal to a half-filled one. I personally hate leaving too many pages blank at the end. I'm hoping to have a flip-through up on my Youtube channel tomorrow. Just have to film it! 😆

Just wanted to share a little look at my Water Your Soul journal that I've been keeping this year for @lizelayne's class. I'm finding that I tend to dip into the course whenever I have the time and it's never consistent. But I am so surprised at how much I've actually managed to fill in this journal!

It is mostly a mixture of the class printables and my answers to the questions, magazine clippings, quotes, and lots and LOTS of journaling, but it's been a lovely place to return to over and over again.

I was able to explore more of the lessons this past weekend when I had some time thanks to the holiday. But I think that the joy of this particular journal—and course really—is that I can return to any part of it at any time and pick up where I left off. I can work out of order and move stuff around—love the binder for this! I get it, Liz! I love how this journal is growing as I move and grow through all of the And Spaces we've been exploring—and even some other And Spaces that showed up for me too!

I can't wait to see how this journal ends up looking by the end of the year. xx

I had one of those days today where I was so exhausted from the week but at the same time wanted to go out and do something. Ever feel that way while also knowing that you just need to rest?

I really wanted to sit in Central Park and catch up on all of my journals but I just couldn’t motivate myself to actually walk to the park. So I took myself (and the dog) down to our building’s courtyard and set up shop on the tiled patio. While there was no grass, it was very quiet out there and I was able to catch up on some journaling and continue in my Water Your Soul binder from where I left off months ago.

Past me had printed all the lovely printables @lizelayne had for every lesson that I had yet to complete, so I spent some time getting all of them into my journal. This quote in particular stood out to me today. This is me. I've dealt with perfectionism all my life and for the last 10 years, I've slowly been coming into my own person separate from the need to "be perfect."

There is no such thing as perfection. The reality that we're all so beautifully imperfect is the real truth we should all strive for.

Anyway, I hope you've all had and are having a wonderful Sunday. xx
