Happy New Year, and welcome to a new year of Project Life! I know many of you are starting Project Life for the first time, and we are so excited for you to experience this wonderful method of documentation. Remember: don’t stress about this! That’s the whole concept behind Project Life, less stress.
I am still working on finishing (and filling in a few gaps) in my 2011 Project Life album (more on this next week). Today, however, I want to share my title page for 2012!!
This year, in addition to Elle’s Studio products, I will be incorporating items from Becky Higgins Project Life Clementine Edition Core Kit. The elements from the Clementine Edition are beautiful, and work very well with Elle’s products (in my opinion). I used a mix of the Clementine cards with a tag from the Handmade Layers Journaling cards, and the Yellow Labeled Lil’ Snippet.
And that little “date” tidbit??? That’s part of Elle’s Studio next launch that goes live tomorrow. You will not want to miss it– many GREAT items for Project Life! 🙂
A few things I did while putting together my title page was to include two photos– one 4×6 family photo that was taken on Christmas Eve (I printed it in black and white so it wasn’t too Christmas-y). and a fun instax photo.
I included the phrase “Today Matters” on one of the 4×6 spots. This will be my approach to Project Life this year. I love that it’s on the very first page and sets the tone for the album. It will also help me to remember that today and everyday matters– and it means something to document the everyday. I also included a Bible verse on the cover that is very representative of this coming year for my family. Don’t be afraid to include meaningful phrases, quotes, thoughts, and verses.
Other items you could include would be the number of people in your family (I symbolized this with four butterflies), have everyone sign there names or design an insert themselves, include a photo of your home, pets, and of course, include the year number.
We are super excited for this new year of Project Life and hope to continue to inspire you here at Elle’s Studio! And to celebrate we have a giveaway– an Elle’s Studio gift pack worth $25!! Leave a comment on this post and let us know if you plan to participate in Project Life this year (if you are, and have completed your title page, link it up! we would love to see it). We will post the winner next Tuesday, January 10.
Project Life was created by Becky Higgins as a way to simplify how you document life and preserve memories. Photo pockets used in my Project Life album are created by Becky and can be found here. You can read of all the Elle’s Studio Project Life posts here.
