Project Life | Week Forty-Four

Ali, are there some 6x12 page protectors that have 3 pockets, and some that don't?? The supply pictures at the end of your post make it look as though the whole 12" space is open, but in the photo of your insert, it looks as though there pockets....

Good to see your pages again. I am planning on doing this project again, and have found inspiration in both your version and Lisa's.

Okay, I just looked again -- so there are AC ones with pockets. Doh. Never mind my question, then! (rolling eyes at myself)

Love your week and how busy and full it was. so many cute ones of the kids and good week for Simon. I'm thinking mine is getting to full and need to but a second binder after all. Love having all these little memories.

I read Lisa's post and loved all that she shared. Very inspiring and helpful for everyone.

Thanks for sharing.

Thanks so much for sharing Lisa's post about Project Life. I agree, she put a lot of thought and heart into that post. I hadn't heard of her and I'm happy I left a note of thanks on her blog. Even though I'm quite behind, this project gives me energy each time I pull out my album to work on it. I'm doing my own version next year (8.5x11 album with 1 9-pocket protector/week as the common base) and am looking forward to using a lot more of my stash + stamping and continuing to collect bits and pieces from the week. That's been my favorite part, then the photos, then the journaling ;)

Love how you complete the week.

I didn't think I had time to do a full project life, so I am doing a monthly version, with 2 or 3 pages for a full month and have really enjoyed it.

I just ordered the variety pack of page protectors for this next year. At this rate, by 2014 (when my son goes to college) I will be ready to do a full year. Heh.

LOVE reading your blog.

Where did you get your month dividers? We're they part of the project life kit? I just ordered some and mine don't look like that. Mine only have a label at the top, no "11" or dots. Thanks, Shelby

I am so excited about doing project life next year and doing December daily next month. Thank you for all your inspiration. I've been in a scrapbooking slump and I'm feeling an upswing. Plus I just figured out how to do a screen shot of my calendar on my iPad and I plan on using it for both projects. Happy dance.

Thank you for the link to Lisa's blog! Between the two of you, I am sold on PL. I will be ordering Project Life Friday so I will be ready to go Jan 1st!

Happy Birthday! I hope you had a wonderful birthday! Wishing you all the best for the coming year!

I started to read Lisa's blog post, but ran out of time. I still have the tab open, though, so fully intend to read the whole thing. It's very informative and I love looking inside others' processes.

Love the pictures from your week (like always). They tell a really great story! Which brand are the trampolines? I've been looking for one, but not sure how I will store it when it's not in use.

Happy Birthday Ali, and all the best for the coming year! Wonderful layout again, love the group photo and Simon's achievements:)

well thanks to reading Lisas awesome post on PL im now in for next year. i have ordered all my protectors, and i will decide later if i want a kit or not but for now i think i will use my Sc kit scraps. And so far im going to stick with my AC binders as i love them all matching :) thanks for sharing , you have inspired me too, as i now know how im going to store all of Lucys little drawing she does for me etc .

Ali,

Thanks for continuing to share your PL with us. I have been doing it for two years, inspired by you. My kids, 15 and 13, love looking through and contributing to the process.

Query about the DD - sorry it is here in your PL post, but didn't know where else to post a question. I cut my overlays to the 8.5 by 3 inch size and started assembling my SC album (overlay + page protector) and I noticed that the overlays are smaller/shorter than the page protectors. Went back to look at your photos and in your photos it looks like your overlays match in height the page protectors. I know this is a overly picky concern but still I am curious.

Thanks.

Ali- I was wondering where you got your date stamp you use in your project life album?

Hi Ali,
I have to ask a DD question I have the WRMK divided page protectors & I know you mentioned you cut them down to have 4 pockets. With that, I'm getting the writing on the side (WRMK) & the holes are not lining up for the SC binder. Did you punch new holes? From your pictures. it did not look like you did. How did you approach it? if you don't mind me asking. Thanks!

I love seeing this weekly posts. My youngest is 16 and I wish I had something like this from when my kids were little. There are so many things we have forgotten. I think this is more important than the actual scrapbooks that I have.

Hey! I'm still up to date! Wow! This is the first yer I used Becky's PL kit, however, I'm a real digital scrapper at heart and it will be my last year for the paper/binder.
Remember, though, Becky also offers a digital PL for $99 I think and this is a real deal. (I'm sure I spent at least double that amount on photo paper and ink cartridges!) The set up is exactly the same, if you check it out: http://beckyhiggins.ziblio.com/

Great week you've captured with PL Ali!! November is such a great month for my family too! Lots of birthdays-both family, friends, and my own! Looking forward to the holidays and my DD. Received my kit yesterday!! Woot! Woot!
:) Have a great Wednesday!

Hey Ali--not that it's any of our business but you posted awhile back about trouble with Chris. You guys have been on my mind & I was just hoping that things are getting better for you guys? I know its tough sometimes with kids, a full work schedule, life. But you two seem to have a great family and I hope things are working themselves out. Just curious.....
