My little felt books of 2011 are complete and full of memories. What an incredibly fun project to work on. So many things brought me great delight, but I think my absolute favorite part were the shipping tag pages. Simple and already cut to size!! These will be fun to enjoy in the years ahead.
It is time to move forward and start a new chapter. This year it is going to be Project Life by Becky Higgins. Such a beautifully simple design with endless possibilities, thanks Becky!
My approach:
- Keep it simple by using all Design A Photo Pocket Pages
- Have a designated area to keep my book and all of the supplies (shown above). I chose a place that is in the heart of the home, but not right on top of our daily living. I also chose to have our One Little Words in this space. As we add images and stories to our book I want to remember the words that each of us chose to take with us through 2012.
- Keep notes as the days unfold. I won’t always be close to my book and journal cards, so I have a note app on my iPhone that I am using to capture the details of life as they unfold.
- Use Aperture to organize my photos. To keep the process simple, I will sort through my photos as I upload and organize into an edit, print, or complete folder.
- Focus on the capture of stories, photos, and ephemera not on the decorations and embellishments.
- Keep rules away. I am not going to set expectations on what I have to capture every week. I am just going to go with the flow and let it all come together.
- Have fun and enjoy the whole process, I have been looking forward to this project!
I am not a fan of rules, so I won’t have a set schedule, but I will share images and insights of my Project Life throughout 2012.
