Researching Print Options
I am so overwhelmed by the feedback I got on yesterday's post, both here and on Facebook. You can read the post here if this doesn't make sense – Project Life Prints vs. Books. I am kind of on sensory overload trying to process it all. But in a really good way. I'm excited! 🙂… Read more

Project Life Prints vs. Books
I'm in the middle of reorganizing my bookshelves and changing all the labels on my scrapbook albums. I hate not having bookplates so I'm adding them to all my albums and I need to change locations. See those scratches on the shelf? I'm totally bummed. The albums that come with metal reinforced corners have scratched… Read more

Making memories | The year of the concert
As the kids get older, it hits home more and more that our time with them is getting shorter. After taking off for Maine last summer with only two weeks' notice, we noticed that the kids really and truly appreciated the extra family time. They loved the adventure, the trip, and the time with us… Read more

Enjoy it while it lasts
Andrew built a fort in our bedroom this weekend. It started out as a birthday fort for Emily because every 17-year-old wants a blanket fort, right? It was very sweet and she spent about an hour in it with him. And then he spent most of the rest of the weekend in it. It was… Read more

Project Life 2015 | Weeks 1 – 3
One of my goals for my Project Life album this year is to stay very flexible, as well as very simple. I'm not trying to invent the wheel or make it perfect. I'm trying to tell the stories of our life and get it done. That's it. With that in mind, I've realized that a… Read more

Happy 17th Birthday, Emily!
I still remember the minute the doctor put Emily into my arms. She was the most perfect thing that had ever happened to me. She was such a fun baby and child! She loved to learn, to experience new things, and was just always happy! Through the years, she's maintained a few of her favorite… Read more

Project Life App Layouts
Beth's had a very rough week and so I've spent a lot of time just sitting with her this week and waiting in the doctor's office. Perfect time to play with the Project Life app! My job on the Project Life Creative Team is to create layouts with the digital products, not the app, so… Read more

Our Temporary Hamster
Last summer, a friend of mine mentioned that she was looking for a temporary home for her kids' hamster. They needed someone to keep her for four months. Emily begged to be allowed to "hamstersit" for Ginger, so why not? Just one more animal in our menagerie. And we loved having Ginger. She was very,… Read more

Project Life 2014 | Weeks 9 – 12
I can't believe how much fun I'm having with Project Life again! Simple, simple, simple is the way to go. 🙂 And I've discovered that watching The Gilmore Girls on Netflix while I scrap makes the time go even faster. I never saw it when it was on TV because I had three kids in five-and-a-half… Read more

Printing Digital Project Life Pages
I've been making digital scrapbooking pages since 2007 and always have them printed at 12 x 12 and then insert them into page protectors. I've often thought of making them into books instead but I like the consistency of being able to keep them in the same albums that I have my traditional pages in.… Read more
