Project Life® 2013 | Week Forty-Two

Yes. No. No. I love reading your posts and seeing layouts. It spurs inspiration and the weeks really don't matter. I'm playing major catch up and find that figuring out my own way of what works and doesn't is better than trying it someone else's way.

Could you please stop showing us the awesome new products though?! Ha! I've made more trips to my LSS in the past 2 weeks than I did in the past 6 months. MAMBI stickers and Heidi everything. Winning me back!

I actually kind of like seeing catch up album pages. I think it's reassuring to me (and others) to see that we're not the only ones who fall behind sometimes and go back and catch up. I think it would be nice though, for me personally, if I could see how you keep track of what happened then. I know that I either write it down in a template or use sticky notes. Would love to see how your process plays out on the catch pages.

I really enjoy these posts! It's my first year doing project life so I appreciate seeing layouts to get sme ideas of what I can do beyond just sliding the cards in and calling it done :)

Since scrappin' is both a hobby and a way of life for me, I'm not a stickler for it being "on time." That would just add pressure to something that's supposed to feel fun and joyful - so I hope you aren't stressing either about being "behind." You actually know what happened each week - that alone would mean being caught up to me!! Life is full of deadlines, so I'm thinking our hobbies should feel more free & easy. I'd love to keep seeing your PL layouts, regardless of the timeframe.

Oh...I want it all! Last year, this year, process! Keep it coming Ali!

I love seeing the layouts no matter when you post them. How do you go back and catch up? Are the items from that week organized together? I love the idea of project life but am a little intimidated because I am afraid to be able to keep up with it. Is it a project you could start now?

I love to see your Project Life pages, it doesn't matter when you post them. !:) And what I would like to see is just what you already show us: the pictures, a lit bit about what happened that week, your choice of products, what you think about the process. Thanks so much for sharing!

Hi Ali. I would love to know more about how you keep all your stuff together when you do play catch up? I mean, week 42 was ages ago so how do you remember the bits and pieces from that week? Do you take notes? Do you put all the ephemera in the same place? Etc. thanks

It does not matter to me what order things are posted. I love to come here for the inspiration, to learn different processes and see different ways of using products. It actually makes me a little happy to know that not everyone is completely caught up with their project life books. I would love to know more about your process for going back and getting caught up. So, I love seeing your layouts no matter when they are from. I love that you posted an actual non project life layout about Anna the other day! Although I love doing our PL books, I also really do still enjoy traditional scrapbooking too! Thank you for everything you post here. Your website truly is motivating and inspirational!

I love seeing your catch up posts. But I'd like to be seeing your 2014 stuff too!

I enjoy your project life posts and it doesn't matter to me when they are from. I don't do Project Life (though that may change in the yrs to come). But I still like seeing it because to me I am learning. It's fun to see other people's processes. It's my hobby and I love reading about it. I scrap regular pages and whatever strikes me to work on. I have photos pulled aside and separated by "future page". It may sound disorganized but I don't have a dedicated scrap room and keep supplies and photos organized as best I can.

I love seeing the catch up pages! It helps/inspires me to keep up as well.

I love seeing (admiring!) your PL layouts, whether they are from the past week or from last year. I'm looking for inspiration in your layout (and totally find it), whether they are actual layout or not (in fact, I would say that I don't care). Thanks a lot for sharing.

Ali, it doesn't matter what year your PL or any other layout is from that you do. They are inspirational and full of beautiful ideas!

So, PLEASE carry on posting your catch-up pages:-)) we LOVE them!

Are you kidding??? I love it all!! Please keep on posting all your wonderful pages, ideas, thoughts and all of Kate's too. You both are such great inspirations!

I absolutely love seeing the catch-ups! It doesn't matter to me whether it's from Week 30 of 2012 or if it's the latest week of 2014.

I'd love to know how you pick specific pictures to include in pages especially when you have tons of them from a week. (Sorry if it's already been mentioned before!)

Love to see all you pl pages; doesn't matter when-it's all inspiring! Things I'm curious about: how do you store stuff? What's your process for putting an actual spread together (enjoyed seeing cathy zielske's walk through in time lapse and real time). Thanks for all you do!

I love that you are catching up and sharing that with us. It keeps me inspired since I'm always playing catch up. I get great ideas from your posts regardless of whether it's a 2014 spread or 2013.

I love seeing the pages regardless of when ~ love them for inspiration and ideas as well as product eye candy. Wouldn't mind if they were batched together monthly or done weekly

I come here for the thoughts that you provoke and the ideas that you generate, whether it be through a weekly PL spread, a travel layout, or a series of questions you pose. It doesn't matter one bit which point in time it represents as I'm always inspired. Thanks!
