I finally got my 2019 Family Project Life album started this past week. I know, I’m so far behind! But I have a plan to get caught up. I’ve already organized most of the photos in my photos app. I just need to print, journal, and embellish. To help me, I’ve changed up my format this year. For the past two years, I did weekly spreads. They were fine and worked well for those years. But I noticed that I wasn’t consistent in taking photos every week in 2019 and that we visited the same places over and over (OCM, Romp n Roll, etc). I decided to go to a modified monthly format. For each month, I will have a number of miscellaneous pages including photos from around the house and random things. The remaining pages will each be dedicated to a place that we frequent or a big event.

For January, I have four pages of miscellaneous photos and such, including a page of our grilled cheese experiments. I then have one page dedicated to Romp n Roll and one page dedicated to the Children’s Museum. I purposefully left off embellishments on our event pages and focused on the miscellaneous pages. I plan on using the same format through the year.

Supplies used: I found an entire stack of Simple Stories year journalling cards and embellishments completely unused in my stash. I will be pulling primarily from that set for all my journalling cards this year.
