Project Life January and February 2011

In 2010 I did Becky Higgins' Project Life and I loved it At the end of the year I had a gorgeous album filled with so many pictures. My kids love looking at it all the time. For 2011 I still wanted to do Project Life, but not with a picture each day. It may sound weird, but the pressure of taking a picture each and every day was not something I wanted to do this year. I wanted to use as many pictures as possible, basically all the pictures I took, but still do it the Project Life way. I also have so many scrapbook kits that I wanted to use. So I decided to try and use Project Life elements but still use my own paper stash. I bought a binder, page protectors and the journal cards. From the scrapbook kits that I have I cut pieces of paper into 4x6 and the size of the journal cards. I have included pictures in the post below of my January and February pictures from 2011. Somehow it's hard to take good pictures of these pages, you have to turn your flash OFF so it won't reflect on the page protector. Besides patterned paper I also used stickers that were in the scrapbook kits I used. I also use the date stamp that came with the Project Life kit I bought in 2010. At times I used a corner rounder punch to make the papers have the same shape as the journal cards. I hope you enjoy the pictures.
