Did you know that I still scrapbook?  It's true.  I no longer make the big 12×12 scrapbook pages, but I do try my best to keep up with Project Life aka pocket scrapbooking.  I've been a Project Life participant since 2012!  (You can read my very first Project Life post here.)

After 7 years, I still love my Project Life albums.  They're super fun to flip through because they're packed full of memories.  It will not surprise you to know that I approach my Project Life albums slightly differently than other people do.  Today I thought I'd share some recent pages and how they align with my personal memory keeping philosophy.

These albums are about me.  100% unapologetically about me and my life.

1-About-Me-wm
This means the pages are filled with photos of me.  Yes, there are photos of other people, but I don't really tell their stories.  I think sometimes — women in particular — end up trying to be the memory keepers for everyone.  Not me.  This is my album, from my perspective, about my life.

1-AboutMe2-wm
I make no effort to coordinate anything — colors, patterns, style, etc.

2-NoCoordination-wm
For me, these albums are about recording memories with ease.  Part of what makes pocket scrapbooking appealing to me is that it consists of lots of little separate canvases.  I don't have to coordinate a big overall canvas.  That would make this project way too stressful for me.

Related: I make no effort to make the pages "pretty." If they look good, that's great, but it's not my goal.

3-NotPretty-wm
3-Detail-wm
I often choose odd or ugly photos because they represent a memory or story I want to tell.

3.5-NotPretty-wm
3.5-NotPretty-wm
I write all over my photos.
 

4-WriteOnPhotos-wm
4-WriteOnPhotos-wm
I use two Sakura pens which work on slick surfaces to do this: (white) (black).

4.5-WriteOnPhotos-wm
Or I use a label:

4.5-Detail-wm
I do about 80% of the work in Photoshop and then 20% in my craft room. 

5-Hybrid-wm
I outlined my process in this video and blog post from 2015 and it's the process I still use today!

5-Hybrid2-wm

Sometimes I print the journaling right onto the photo and then just add stickers/embellishments…

5-Hybrid-Typed-wm

…and sometimes I just add the journaling by hand after it's all been printed.

5-Hybrid-Handwritten-wm
I include bits and pieces from my digital life — screenshots of texts and instagram posts and everything in between.

6-Screenshots-wm
6-Screenshots-wm
I fill my album with pictures of the art I've made.

7-MyArtwork-wm
7-MyArtwork-wm
7-MyArtwork-wm
Making art is such a big part of my life. I can't imagine telling my story without the art.

7.5-MyArtwork-wm
I do one two-page spread for every week.  If I have more photos than will fit in two-pages, I use an insert.

8.5-Insert-wm
Sometimes the inserts are little.

8-Insert-wm
Sometimes the inserts are major.

8.3-insert-wm
It's the journaling that makes this better than a photo album.  So, I tend to say something about most photos.

9-Journaling-wm
9-Journaling-wm
9-Journaling-wm
9-Journaling-wm
It doesn't matter if you don't have a photo.  There's still a way to capture that memory! 

10.5-Filler-wm
Download it from the internet — as in this movie poster.

10.7-Filler-wm
Write a card.  Who says your album has to be all about the photos?

10-Filler-wm
10-Filler-wm
I'm still working my way through my 2017 and 2018 albums, and while the completist in me says that I should finish these albums in chronological order, I've decided not to.  Memory keeping is so different when you do it close to the memory vs. far.  In that vein, I am almost up to date in my 2019 album and will continue to slowly back slog through 2017 and 2018 while keeping up to date on 2019.

Are you a scrapbooker/memory keeper?  Would you like to see more posts about Project Life?  Let me know!

Thanks for stopping by!

  • I love this post. I never knew what those little cards were all about. I didn’t know they fit into an album page made up of pockets to fit them. Yes, I have been living under a rock. Anyway, your albums are wonderful! I feel as if a door has sprung open (on the side of the rock) and now I know something I didn’t know just a few minutes ago! And only on one cup of coffee so far! So, yes. I would love to have you explain more about project life cards and would love to see more of your album pages. Thank you.

  • Hi Julie,
    I was using Project Life as a photo album. One for each grandchild, one for trips, etc. I didn’t think in terms of it being about me, you are right, we try to document about everything. There are so many ways to do it, I just never really settled on any one thing. I’d love to see and hear more about Project Life.
    I might just turn it around, stop trying to scrap everything for everyone and make it about what I want it to be.
    Thanks for bringing back another view point I had forgotten about.

  • I had wondered if you were still doing your Project Life books; I hadn’t heard about them in a long time. I always resisted doing it, since I know that it involves quite a time commitment,but I think I’m finally beginning to come around to it. Tell me what you use for printing out your digital photos – do you just use a regular printer, or one of those newer smaller photo printers that print out the right size for the pockets?

  • I like your approach to PL. I am curious though – do you have a personal photographer who follows you around? 🙂 The biggest issue I would have with your approach is that I am largely on my own and any photo of myself doing anything is, by necessity, a selfie. Not useful if you are interested in showing yourself doing things. LOL

  • I love this post Julie. I have all these great intentions, even buy supplies, and there they sit. I think mostly I hesitate because I never learned a single thing about Photoshop and it got me frozen in never never land. When I started doing the pocket letter swap thing a couple years go I hoped that might get me to pull out all of my PL supplies but it never did so I ended up with pocket letter supplies piled on top of my Project Life supplies. I will not go into what supplies those two piles are on top of. LOL!!!!! It takes dedication and commitment to your art and I love that you inspire that, in others. So my question would be, when you are using Photoshop you are then printing out your creation. What printer are you using?

  • I love this post Julie. I have all these great intentions, even buy supplies, and there they sit. I think mostly I hesitate because I never learned a single thing about Photoshop and it got me frozen in never never land. When I started doing the pocket letter swap thing a couple years go I hoped that might get me to pull out all of my PL supplies but it never did so I ended up with pocket letter supplies piled on top of my Project Life supplies. I will not go into what supplies those two piles are on top of. LOL!!!!! It takes dedication and commitment to your art and I love that you inspire that, in others. So my question would be, when you are using Photoshop you are then printing out your creation. What printer are you using?

  • Yes! More PL posts please. I’ve always loved your PL spreads. I think my favorite part is that you don’t worry about making sure it all coordinates. I get hung up on this sometimes.

  • oh, yes, Julie! more project life pages … your inspiration keeps me going.

    are you doing a separate book for your house? such an exciting time — so many changes!!!

  • Absolutely yes, yes, yes! Keep the project life posts coming. That is the one thing that I do consistently and like you, I do not care one bit about how pretty or coordinated anything in mine is. I wondered if you were still doing yours and so happy to see that you are! Thank you for sharing.
