I’ve wanted to get back to Project Life, but wasn’t sure how to plan it out and wanted to use Costco’s 8.5 x 11 book printing but was wary of scrapping in that size. I was intrigued with Susie Roberts “Daily Life Templates” and watched the videos, but still wasn’t sure until I’ve seen how impressively Ngaire’s been using them. So I finally dove in and bought them at the last sale and after playing with them I’m glad I did! What I decided to do was to take each month one at a time and scrap photos and journaling in whatever way suits me and to also do a page of my layouts for the month and just keep adding on through the year. I noticed Jody included her layouts on her PL and I like that idea. So, here is my January 2017 Pg 1 & 2. Layout page #3 is ready but I will post it after a bit not to hog the MB. 2017 Jan 1 2017 Jan 2 Oh Marilyn thats awesome!! So pleased that you are joining in. I really enjoyed last years PL and just seeing and getting a small glimpse of getting to know some of you ladies. Ok I'm off to see your pages!! Thanks April and Ngaire, I'm excited! And so far so good - I even uploaded my January pages to a Coscto PhotoBook project and if I can keep it up all year, maybe it won't be such a huge task at the end of the year. Here's my last for this month - Jan 3 Layouts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

April Showers Posted February 10, 2017 Author Share Posted February 10, 2017 Yikes, now I'm the only one in my spreadsheet that hasn't posted something for January. I have such a hard time working on two years at the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRS Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 I know if I don't do them right away I won't do them at all. This is my 9th year doing it, so I can't stop now, lol! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is my 9th year too, but as long as i get the journaling written when it is current, I'm usually good for the year. Getting photos from the girls makes it a little harder for me to do the current week like I used to. I'm still waiting for Annette to send me a photo of Elliott from March of last year. My page for that week has a photo spot with "photo of Elliott goes here" written on it. It wouldn't matter if I didn't want to include things from all the kids whenever I can. At least I'm more than halfway finished with 2016. And Cathrine was editing their Paris photos from November earlier this week. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRS Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 I'm lucky my kids are still home and I only have to hunt them down around the house to get photos instead of all over the country! But I'm finding they are not too thrilled to have their photos taken anymore... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lorac Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 Never did finish last years Project Life. I'll give it a shot for this year and see how far I get. I might go back and see how much of 2016 I can finish. I'm going to stay with the monthly page format. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A-M Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 Last year - 2016 I planned on doing monthly pages but only finished January and February. I was not happy with the style of the pages I was doing so now with wanting to create monthly pages for 2016 I liked what Ngaire did so much last year I have decided to use the same template she did. I am keeping the pages simple as if they were the type of paper scrapbook pages I did when I first doing paper scrapbooking. If you would like to see what I have done so far: January 1 and January 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

April Showers Posted March 1, 2017 Author Share Posted March 1, 2017 I don't have a pretty tracking sheet, but I do have an Excel Spreadsheet. I've taken a screenshot of it so you can see your progress (and let me know if I've missed anything). You have to click on it to get it to a readable size.

When I was getting ready to print my album from 2015, I noticed I'd put 2016 some of the dates. Well, it was the current year when I was doing them. Great that you're staying up to date!

diannecp Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 February is done! Kudos to all of you scrapping weekly! I'm going off MariJ's idea of the 8.5x11 horizontal pages, and Susie Robert's templates made this a snap. Now I have to go back and redo January to fit the format. February 1 and February 2. I'm doing this as a way of making time to reflect back on each month, and I realized how helpful pictures are to this process. I know . . DUH! But I have gotten very lax about pictures lately, trying not to be one of those people making everything a photo op. Yet I realize that I DO want to capture more moments, and especially want to capture memories of people I love. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scrapin Pat Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 I'm beginning to see a pattern in my pages, lots of grandchildren photos perhaps I had better focus on some other things that happen in my life week 9 But there is nothing better than grand kids ... unless maybe your kids are still small.

Hi Pat, First go to your posted layout page and copy its web link at the top of the page. Then, come back here to the thread and type the title of your page like "February Project Life" in a post like this. Highlight your title and then click the "link" icon above in this dialog box -- it's the 9th from left and looks like a chain link. Paste your previoiusly copied link into tge box that comes up where it says URL; hit ok and then "post". Your link should work! Hope I'm not too confusing!

I love seeing those sweet smiling faces, but I also have enjoyed your gorgeous scenery and the workings of your daily life with the animals and outdoor life! I love learning about and seeing NZ. And, just think - when those Grands grow up they can look back and reminisce on their early lives with you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
