Project Life Week 1 of 2013

Hello, welcome to my Project Life 2013

I am hoping to have lots of fun with this project this year

I am doing it differently this year.. Using just an

8.5 x 11 binder, 4 inch D-ring that I purchased from Staples.

The binder comes with a clear pocket on the front.. this is where

I added a piece of white cardstock and my from cover design.

I also did the side of my binder. 

 

 

 

The sheet protectors are a heavy duty page protector by Avery that I get in the

office supply section at Walmart. the monthly inserts I am using are

Martha Stewart .. These I cut to only have half the size, the top will have

the month ( Simple Stories Sn@p)  and the bottom will have a Family Photo of

the 4 of us.. every month I will try to repeat this.. to see how we all change during the month.

 

 

I was also going to do some of  My Artwork throughout this years album.

I want it to do a monthly banner to start the month off ... I think it will also be

awesome to get some of my stamp designs on these pages.. 

 

 

 On the inside of this I have a collage of the last 2 weeks of December.. these I am using an app

on my ipad called PhotoShake.. this is also how I will keep track of my weeks so I never get confused

about the photo's. Cause reality is I will get behind at some point.. I know myself.. haha

 

 

So here is Week 1...DONE!!!!!  

These are both done on 8.5x11 white 110 lb cardstock that I get from Staples.

You get a package of 250 sheet for less than $20.00 ... I think I have enough.

Some of these elements are from the class I am taking called Day by Day

Studio Calico was offering it last year ( the class in now closed) . I got some

wonderful print outs, cut files and lots of inspiration from many designers, oh

and a free stamp which I am hoping to have by the end of the week.

Then I also made some small cards and other elements myself. 

 

 

Every week I will have a pocket ( these are from Simple Stories Sn@p)  I will also

make my own.. these pockets will hold all my journaling that I am actually

typing everyday.. I am going to love my typewriter!! 

 

 

It will also hold my collage photo from the week

I really love this alot..

 

 

I will also add some quotes once in a while if I see something that

speaks to me.. this one I saw in the Project Lifers  group on facebook.

It was one someone found on Pinterest.  

 

 

So I am keeping it simple this year.. my photos are all Instagram style

so they will be squares instead of 4x6 .. much easier to use

and I can print 4 at a time on one sheet of photo paper ( satin finish Staples brand) ..

which is GREAT!!! 

  Hope you are all having a great week and hope to keep up weekly with this.

I already have my next week ready for photo's.. that will be the great thing about this

Project Life.. I can set up pages ahead of time, then just add the photo's .

 

I also have a Freebie for Project Life here.
