Using Project Life for Travel

Welcome another week of Project Life at Elle’s Studio!

This past week I was away on vacation, so there is no new Project Life layout to share.  But, speaking of vacations, I want to offer an idea for documenting any upcoming summer travel plans.  And of course it has to do with Project Life!

I went on a fabulous scrapbooking trip to Greece with my mom almost two years ago.  There were SO many photos taken during the trip, it was completely overwhelming when I thought about how I would document this trip. 

Over the last year, Project Life has become a huge part of my scrapbooking routine and how I document our day to day.  It was a huge lightbulb moment when I realized I could merge the Project Life method with my travel photos and memories for this trip I took to Greece.

I kept a journal while in Greece, so I opened my journal and began writing bits and pieces of stories on Elle’s journaling cards and the Project Life Journaling Cards by Becky Higgins (I use the Clementine collection).  I then matched these stories with the photos.  It was so fun to mix up the photos and stories in the Project Life pages and also experiment with trimming large 12 x 12 photos in the photo pockets.

Maybe you are on the fence with starting Project Life?  This is something you could easily do if you are planning a summer vacation (or need to document past travels).  It would give you a feel for what it’s like to use the Project Life system without feeling like you are committing to something huge or overwhelming (and i promise Project Life isn’t either of these things:).

Simply pack a variety of Elle’s Studio tags / Project Life tags with your camera and jot down memories here and there during your travels (or keep a journal).  Your album is halfway done— all that’s needed are printed photos and a few embellishments.   I hope this gives you a few ideas when you think about documenting your summer travel plans!
