Ever since my first Project Life experience I've been anxious to create more pages. I am actually planning to have an epic weekend where I'll try to put several years of photos into albums. I love the idea of getting a lot done in a condensed/focused session. What do you think? Any tips? I would love to hear from some of you who have been making Project Life albums for years. (I have so much to learn!)
Here are a few photos of a page I made about our recent Chicago trip. As much as I want to "catch up" and do a million photos in one day, I also LOVE the idea of spending time reflecting after each little event or season. That's super special and a method I would like to use in the future to save our family memories in books.
Supplies I used: Project Life Photo Pocket Pages - Design D
Thanks so much for taking a peek at my progress! I can't wait to finish a full book. xo. Elsie
Love this! I have so many photos stored on my computer or in boxes - it's just ridiculous. Think it's time to get on the Project Life bandwagon! :)

As much as I'd love to keep up with it every week (like Elise!!) that never happens. I always end up doing several weeks at a time and it works well. BUT, if you wait too long it gets a little overwhelming to think of how many weeks are incomplete! I still have a few weeks from last year, early in my pregnancy when I had no energy that aren't done. And now looking back, I can't really remember what happened those weeks enough to write things down.
Your pages look great!!

I'm sure a lot of work goes into a project like this. But in the end it will have been worth it!

I love this. I have made a few scrapbooks for family members, friends, as presents and for myself, but there was always a point where I had to force myself to finish. Some pages where screaming MOTIVATION, others were more or less whispering it. I started 'Smashbooking' and I love it. It is a fun way to collect memories and pictures but without all the layouts and detailed nit picky work. It's FUN!

This is so lovely! I've been meaning to do something like this for so long now!

This is such a fun idea. I always want to make scrapbooks but fear the little details. This project is just as effective as a scrapbook...but seems was more efficient :]
looks great!

I really want to do one of these for my new son Arlo's first year. I love that the design doesn't interfere with the photos too much- the memories get to stand alone.

I love artistic albums. I think my last one was from my son's Christening, which was years ago.
See you in my blog, maybe.

I love the idea of getting a bunch of pictures organizes at once, I did a bunch of childhood pics that way. If you have a bunch of 4x6 ish photos to use, you might want to try the protectors that hold just 4x6 photos. Each page holds 6 pictures, instead of just 4, and you can decorate them or not. Good luck!

I create vision board diaries when focusing on my goals, my wishes, and the dreams I'm trying to manifest. This is very cool, Elsie!

It's so great to see that photo books exist outside the realm of the computer/internet. As a child I would eagerly flip through my parents and grandparents photo albums, which I so deeply adored. Your process however is especially wonderful because it's crafty and it includes text. In that sense, anyone flipping through can do so and still understand what is going on (instead of guessing liking I had to do in some cases involving really old photos). This seems like a great way to organize photos and have fun at the same time. Thanks for sharing.
