Project Life: February 2013

I am playing catch up with blogging. As of right now, I am up to date on Project Life. My pace is different than most scrapper that participate. Studio Calico sends me the kit at the beginning of the month. However, I do not scrap the month until the next month. After the month is over, I gathered all my last month's photos and print the ones that I want to use in my Project Life album and my standard twelve by twelve pages. Sam's Club is my go to for printing at thirteen cents a photo, which is a darn good rate.

Blogs that I read of scrappers like to scrap everyday life; sometimes, I do too. But, usually I only document more concrete memories. Studio Calico's February Project Life Kit was called Front Row. Every now and then, I will sneak an everyday photo in: one can see a picture of my desk and a nice sunset from my balcony in these spreads.

NSD 2013: Scrap with 4x6 photos

Even though I select a product and have an idea of how I want to use it. I usually end up not using it at all and swap it out for something else. For Shimelle Laine: Scrap with 4x6 photos challenge, I picked the following items to use. 

I ended up only using a few things and swapped out flairs for sequins. Apparently they are the new 'it' thing. I really like this memory of Hawaii. It was our first night in Honolulu. The sunset was gorgeous. I would really like to go back again some day. For now, there are so many other places I want to go see. A second visit will have to wait until I make a lot more money and have a lot more vacation days.

Project Life: January 2013

I decided to sign up for the Studio Calico Project Life Kit when it first was available for pre-registration  last year. Luckily, when it started selling in January; I already had signed up for the subscription. Since day one, they have been sold out every time; there is still a waiting list.

The very first Project Life kit was called Block Party. I had decided to have the majority of my project life kit from Studio Calico to be the supplies I used for this year's Project Life. All left overs are being used for my full twelve by twelve pages and last year's project life album.

It was a tough decision as to where to start my 2013 album because I celebrated my New Year in the middle of my vacation to Germany. I took it literally and started with the pictures of when the clock struck twelve. I do not follow the week by week process that many do. I find it super silly that people think it has to be used a certain way. When I read or listen to other scrappers stress over it, it confuses me. It is just recording memories, relax...
