1. Minimal embellishments. I really stuck with the basics in this spread… I kept it simple which, for me, means less time is involved. I used journaling cards from the Noel Collection to keep the spread coordinated and holiday themed.
2. Write directly on the photos. You can save a lot of time (and products!) by journaling directly on the photos. I use the American Crafts slick writer to write on my photo (there is minimal smearing on the photo surface with this pen).
3. Back Pack Diving! I love to dig through school papers to find art work or other special items. For this week I included a snowman drawing and a gift tag from Jordan’s teacher. These items are perfect for the 3×4 pockets.
4. Photos. Often when I am trying to “catch up” in my album I will use a photo to completely fill the 3×4 pocket. In this spread I trimmed photos of both of my children and included it in the 3×4 spot. A simple and quick way to fill these pockets.
I hope these tips inspire you to finish strong with your 2013 Project Life!
