Project Life 2017: Weeks 15-16

After a long stint with 2011 and time spent doing other things, I'm back with a couple of weeks of 2017. I've got just a little catching up to do with 2017 before I'm back with 2011. It's a fun journey!

Project Life 2011: Weeks 19-21

Here's another three week spread including a 25K and two new kitties. I'm so happy to be moving along with 2011 and to be using this method of scrapbooking. Do you have any idea how much time it's saving me?!

Project Life 2011: Weeks 16-18

I got this done last week or so and just needed to add a few finishing touches today. I was on such a roll and have had to miss a handful of days - I miss it!! It's such an outlet me for and a process I enjoy.

Project Life 2011: Weeks 13-15

It's been so fun looking back through these photos. I've shared some with others who are in the photos. It's crazy to think it was six years ago.

Project Life 2011: Weeks 11-12

This week features Leah getting six stitches after she walked behind the glider on our swing set. She was a real trooper though.

Project Life 2011: Weeks 8-10

Two birthdays, first haircut, and lots of fun snow time in these three weeks.

One thing that I've been doing lately is customizing Ali Edward's brushes. I take a word from one set and combine it with a word from another to make a new combo. It allows for more variety.

I went with the same journal font that I'm using in 2017 - Century. I decided not to do a weekly brush for 2011. Instead I'm using Cooper Black for the week numbers.

Project Life 2011: Weeks 5-7

Three more weeks knocked out! And actually, it's really only two weeks since week 6 didn't have any pictures. While I'm sometimes bummed by it, it does help me get ahead that much faster, so I'm actually ok with it. Ha!

As a reminder, all of my Project Life spreads are tagged according to year. So if you just want to look through one year at a time, the tags are at the end of each post and also on the right side bar.

Project Life 2011: Cover Page + Weeks 1-4

Well would ya lookie here! I'm finally starting Project Life 2011! I'm really loving looking back at these pictures. It's true, when they are printed and in books, you're more likely to look at them. And in my case, I'm really the only one who uses the computer, so unless I'm on it and call someone over to see a picture, they don't get viewed. I'm slowly working on catching up and taking care of that problem. Yay!

Project Life 2017: Weeks 13-14

I'm now all caught up with 2017! I'm really amazed because of how I just started 2017 last month (March) and now here I am. If you've noticed, most of 2017 is pictures. While I'm so happy to have a week on one page, I am missing using papers and such. 

Project Life 2017: Weeks 11-12

Two more weeks for the books! 

When I first started Project Life, I wondered how I could do this for years if I'm always taking the same pictures. The thing is - I'm not always taking the same pictures. In one way or another, things change. Kids get older. Scenery looks different. Weather is different. Toys are different. Hobbies are different. It's a style of scrapbooking that I am just so thankful for. 

Project Life 2017: Weeks 9-10

Another two weeks and I'm almost caught up. I'm really excited to be caught up and to start working on 2011. I really enjoy looking back at photos. I don't see the 2011-2013 photos often because they aren't in a scrapbook yet. I'm looking forward to changing that.

Project Life 2017: Weeks 7-8

Well I've just been on a little scrapping rampage over here. I've been able to get four pages done today! And with the new way of doing it, that's 4 weeks completed. I tell you, I'm really liking this one page for one week deal. Sometimes I struggle leaving pictures out, but so far, there haven't been too many extra to debate over.

Project Life 2017: Weeks 5-6

Two mores weeks with photos and stories documented = winning!

Project Life 2017: Weeks 3-4

And just like that, the first four weeks of 2017 are scrapped! This one page a week thing is pretty snazzy. Granted, it's all pictures and no fun papers, but that may change as the weeks go on.

Project Life 2017: Cover Page and Weeks 1-2

The start of Project Life 2017 - YAY! 

There's not a whole lot I've changed for 2017 besides some weekly brushes and the font. 

For some reason, I haven't been taking as many pictures lately. Sometimes I just forget. So I'm wondering about possibly doing one page per week rather than two pages per week. We'll see. It may change from week to week. That's the beauty of being able to do it however I want. :)

Project Life 2016: Week 51-52

Wow, my last spread for 2016 is completed! It's always such a big accomplishment when you think about it. Granted, I'm over two months behind for 2017, but I get to start on that soon. Yay!

I've always liked blue in regards to Christmas. I think it reminds me of childhood or vintage Christmas colors. It's so interesting how God created our brains and how certain colors trigger certain feelings or emotions.
