I am working on this new scrapbook by Ditto. It is my own cheaper version of Project Life. I am going to call it Documenting Life instead of Project Life. It is basically a daily journal that includes pictures and any paraphernalia that you collect as you go about your day. I will include ticket stubs, mail, labels, notes, and any news articles I find interesting. I also plan on documenting weather and any important events that take place. I think it will also work great as a travel journal!
You can purchase this album online or buy it at your nearest Archiver's for a decent price. They have a variety of items to go with it. I started off with the album and insert set which includes all kinds of fun envelopes, paper and stickers. Project Life is on my wish list and hopefully I can one day create one but this alternative album is working for me right now. So far I have added bits of April memories since I didn't start on it until about a week ago. As you can see I still have some work to do on it but it's coming along and I am enjoying it.
I really like the 3 x 5 of photos you have on your 2nd page listed here. So well done. I want to be able to do that soon!
ReplyDeleteYou are possibly the most creative person I know. How do you have the energy for this? I am jealous! :)

Gen, do you make cards too?
ReplyDeleteYes, I do like to make cards. I've made them in the past for birthdays. I have made thank you cards but I don't do it very much.
