30 Days of Lists - December 2018

I never actually shared my pages for December’s edition of 30 Days of Lists. Somehow this project just got lost in the shuffle. And it’s almost time for the next 30 Days of Lists! I decided to sit this one out due to lots of big life and crafting events this month, but if you want to join, check it out here.

For my December lists, I changed things up drastically. Instead of using my Project Life cards, I turned to my Memory Planner. I didn’t want to do December Daily in my Memory planner, so I had all these blank pages to fill. 30 Days of Lists was the perfect use! For each day, I wrote the topic and then filled each day in throughout the month. After each list was created, I decorated! I love how these pages ended up and I was saved from having blank pages. I also ended up adding the books that I read in December scattered throughout.

December Daily 2018

Warning: Photo Heavy Post

For this year’s December Daily, I moved out of the family Project Life album and put the pages into their own 6”x8” red polka dot album. I loved the freedom of traditional scrapbooking as opposed to pocket pages. I loved pulling random items from my stash to use. I did buy the Elle’s Studios December Documented Kit, a past Kelly Purkey December Daily Mini Kit from Ali Edwards, and some stickers and die cuts.

Project Life 2018 Round Up

For 2018, I decided to change up my Project Life plans and go back to weekly spreads. I enjoyed the monthly spreads, but often included too many photos. I wanted to be a bit more selective of what I put in the albums. I ended up getting a late start on this year's pages as I wanted to finish up 2017 first. So sometime in March, I finally starting printing photos and putting together spreads. Here are my spreads for January - April:

Week in the Life 2018

For this year's WITL, I documented my birthday week: March 5th - 11th. I bought another Simple Stories album to coordinate with last year's album (last year's was yellow, this year's is light blue). They are the perfect size (6x8) and the perfect price (around $10). For the insides, I tried to pull a lot from my stash. But I did buy Echo Park's Creative Agenda by Kaitlin Sheaffer scrapbook kit. I ending up using almost all of the stickers and at least half of the paper for this album. I'm still debating about adding a title page, but at least I have the meat of the project finished.

December Daily 2017 - Part 1

Finally I finished my 2017 December Daily pages! I decided once again to not do a separate album, but include special pages in my family Project Life album. For this year, I used Stampin' Up and Project Life's collaboration card set from last year. I hoarded all these card sets, but forced myself to actually use the sets soon. Beyond the journalling cards, I kept my embellishments fairly simple.

30 Days of Lists - September 2017

One of the many unfinished projects I had laying in my craft area going into 2018. I'm excited to say that I've finally finished this one! The cards will be going into the 2017 Family Project Life album (unfinished). I used cards from the Heidi Swapp Favorite Things Core Kit. The numbers were from an old Freckled Fawn grab bag I had gotten. And the stickers were taken from leftover planner kits.

Week in the Life Album 2017

So a little late, but I finally finished my Week in the Life album for 2017. I ended up not documenting a week until pretty late in the year, November 6th - 12th to be precise. But I think this album is a good representation of a typical week for us. I do love the bright colors used throughout. Lots of color! Most of the supplies I pulled from the stash. I did buy the album and the days of the week wood pieces.

Project Life October 2016

Instead of showing you the October pages from the family album, I though I would highlight the October pages from Quentin's album. The family album's pages were kept pretty plain...
