Project Life ~ 2011 Week 2

I have been taking some time to work on my 2011 Project 365 album using the Project Life system.  I am not done with 2012's paper Project Life album yet, but I plan to bounce back and forth between the two as time and circumstances permit.  I am really enjoying the digital version and think I'll probably stick with it for a while.

I am missing Bible study this morning because Nick isn't feeling well and stayed home from school.  So I finished up this two-page spread that I had started last night.  It came together pretty quickly.  The hardest part for me is picking out which journaling and filler cards to use.  Of course, the pictures are easy ... I'm using my Project 365 photos.   And the journaling is coming from my blog posts with a little tweaking.  Once I start doing 2013's album, the process might prove a little more challenging.  But that is another topic for another day.  :)

For now, here are the pages from 2011 - Week Two ...

If you happen to see any typos or anything that looks wonky, please let me know.  I proofread over things multiple times, but I still sometimes miss things.  Yes, shocking, I know.  :)

Also, if my pages have inspired you, you ain't seen nothin' yet!  :)  Check out all the great inspiration over at The Mom Creative.

My first-ever digital Project Life pages

One of my goals for some time now has been to learn digital scrapbooking, so when I saw that Jessica Sprague had her Digital Project Life class on sale (sorry, it isn't on sale anymore) and it was a short-term commitment (only a week long), I decided to go for it.  I love the concept of Project Life and being able to do it digitally and make photo books from completed pages makes it perfect!

We finished up day 5 today and actually completed a page.  A lot of what she is covering in class has been review for me as I already know how to use clipping masks and layers from using templates from The CoffeeShop Blog.  But there are a few new tricks I learned.

Part of our homework was to use the skills learned so far and complete a page or two.  So I chose to go back to 2011 and work on my Project 365 photos.  I want to make them into a photo book anyway, so this is a great start.

Here are the first two pages ...

I realize there are 8 days in this spread.  That's because New Year's Day was on a Saturday.  And I prefer my weeks to run Sunday through Saturday.

I used the Original Project Life kit and a background paper that I had on hand from Scrapper's Guide.

The class is self-paced and is still available, so if it interests you, go over and check it out.
