pre-launch chit-chat
Can I just tell you how excited I am that you're so excited? Thank you for your advanced enthusiasm about PROJECT LIFE. Here's the scoop. We've been working so hard on getting everything perfect for you. The product itself, as well as the process in ordering the product.
That said, we are in the final stages of wrapping up several details in order to launch PROJECT LIFE soon. Soon could mean tomorrow. It could mean a couple more days. We want to make sure everything is just perfect. I want to also answer a burning question on many of your minds: Will this PROJECT LIFE concept be available in digital format?
YES. More details to come of course, but you should know that we are working on developing the digital product as well.
Now let's talk about those holiday cards, shall we? I mentioned that I have a solution for you. This solution will be a free downloadable holiday card. Five designs to choose from in 2 different sizes. You'll be able to use any photo editing software to drop your digital picture in the card. Here's a sneak preview:
So when can you get your hands on this freebie? As soon as we launch PROJECT LIFE. What are you obligated to do in order to get the free downloads? Nothing. Just wanted to help you out & alleviate some stress from the holiday season. You will soon be able to check that off your to-do list. That sounds pretty merry to me. : )
So. Some exciting things happening around here. As always, stay tuned.

Wow, Becky, this is really great. I am so excited, can't wait. Thank you once again for sharing your creativity with us.
I can't wait, I'm too excited.
Can't wait! Can't wait! Can't wait! It is like Christmas morning is almost here and I have butterflies in my stomach! The Christmas cards are awesome! Thanks! You are awesome!!
Thank you so much! Love the freebies! And I can't wait to see Project Life. I'm still moving along on my project 365 and am so happy I did it! Looking forward to a new angle on it.
I have been searching for this year's card template. These colors will be perfect with the photos I have planned.
Thanks!
I have goosebumps all over! I can't wait to see Project Life and am so excited for you in this new venture. Thanks for taking the time to make sure all the kinks are worked out before launching it. I'm also super excited about the Christmas cards--and they're going to be free! You are so generous.
I am so excited!!! Thank you! I'm excited about Project Life, that it's digital and Christmas cards,whoo, whoo!! Your the greatest. I'm might need to add you to my Christmas list!
Wow!! You always amaze me with your creativity!! Thanks for thinking of us and helping to make our holidays smoother!! Can't wait!!

Wow, Becky! I can't wait to see what Project Life is and I'm very excited about the Christmas card as I have no ideas of my own right now.
Thanks!
oh my goodness oh my goodness!!!!
I am SO EXCITED! I have been mulling/searching/comparing for months now! All because I loved my 2007 cards so much ;)
THANK YOU !!!!!!
Dear Santa,
Please send Becky whatever is on the top of her wishlist, because she just sent me mine!
Merry Christmas,
Ada
Thank you so much for offering Project Life in digital form! I'm pretty much all digital, and I was so torn about whether I should buy Project Life or not. I wanted so badly to use it, but was afraid I wouldn't keep up with it since it wasn't right at my fingertips like my digital projects. Thanks again, and can't wait to see it.
That's super sweet! I can't wait to download them!
Yes! You of all people should offer/sell these products! I love your taste, style, and outlook on scrapbooking, etc. Can't wait!
Hi Becky - can't wait to see more about Project Life and your cards! When you say "we" when talking about your projects, who do you mean? You are no longer with CK - are you with another company?
WooHoo! Can't wait!
Love the cards!!! Thanks so much!!
Any chance the digital project life works some how with Blog Spot? Say, so when I print my blog book all prettiness is in my book?
Can't wait! So exciting indeed :)
Oh happy day! Thank you!
So excited that you will be offering Project Life digitally! I am just starting with digital so this will just be one more thing for me to play with!
How exciting! Those Christmas cards look great!
I'm super excited & can't wait to see what this is & how it works! Do you know yet if this is a one-time thing like P365 or if you'll continue to offer it year after year? That will determine how many I buy.
Thanks for all your hard work!
Woo hoo! Thanks for your thorough approach to Project Life and the generous gift of easy holiday cards ;-)
This is wonderful! Where can I get photo cards printed cheaply?
Awesome! Thank you! Baby #3 is due on Dec. 12 and this will help make my life alot easier! Looking forward to seeing the whole thing!
Looking forward to the launch...and those lovely cards! Thank you!
Can't wait! I hope there is enough Project Life to go around. :)
I never got the Project 365, and I also didn't get to put my name down as a 'pre-order' comment on your previous post about Project Life, so I hope I will still be able to have the chance to buy one or two when you have them available!! I'm checking your page as often as I can!
Thanks Becky!!! :)))
The cards look adorable. Now I can't wait to see Project Life! Thanks for sharing your creativity.
Becky, Thank you for making the cards free! That's awesome!
i am so exicited. did not do project 365, but loved the idea. it just seemed more than i could handle. project life seems right up my ally. i was always a full time, work long hrs out of the home mom, stuggling to keep up with the creative moms that seemed to have it all under control.
now i am a stay at home nana, for a dd who works hours that make mine look like a hobby. so i started to scrapbook every event with great detail and soon got overwhelmed. but things like proj life make me excited to have fun again. thank you!
Thank you so much Becky!!! :) I'm excited about the holiday cards & the project life! I loved your post about the treat bag toppers...I immediately made some for the cookies I made for my son's daycare. I used cardstock, stamps & distress ink! If you'd like, you can check it out on my blog at www.carrienolen.blogspot.com! Thanks again Becky! Love your ideas!
January 09 made me a Becky Higgins fan. I look forward to the Project Life and any future creations you come up with. Your commitment to your craft, your fans, and your own personal integrity is impressive. I have followed your blog the entire year, and wish you success in this new endeavor. I did Project 365, and sometimes it lapsed behind, but that was okay because it wouldn't be me if it "kept to schedule", think Project Life will fine tune the way I go though life more accurately. Am excited.
Hi Becky! You are simply the best! The Xmas cards look great & I'm super excited that u will be offering Project Life in digital form...so much easier for those of us living on the other side of the globe...won't have to pay an arm & a leg for postage! Look forward to seeing the project released soon xxx
Becky, You're amazing! I'm so excited about these holiday cards - and they're free! Awesome! This is just what I need this year - easy and quick. Thanks for being so generous!
can not wait!!! and the freebies are an added bonus! and the thought of a digital version is just awesome! thank you!!
Thank you so much for the holiday cards. I always want a unique card that none of my friends will have. This year it will happen. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!
Thank you so much for helping us busy moms try to keep the "homemade" card a possiblity even if we don't have time for the cut and paste method!

So looking forward to Project Life!!! I missed out on P365 :-( Thanks also for the holiday cards--they look so fun!
Thank you for sharing your talents with us!
Hi Becky,
I noticed that you have an office in Vistancia. I also live in Vistancia and am a huge fan of your products. Just curious...will you be hiring any part-time staff soon? If so, I would love to chat with you.
Blessings,

I can't wait!
Love the digital Christmas cards!
Thanks so much for doing this- I have been waiting to take my pictures until I saw the color scheme for the card- you are so thoughtful to your fans!!!
First of all, I'm even more excited that you're going to have this in a digital format! I'm more likely to actually work on it if it's in digital form.
Secondly, I'm super excited about the free digital cards! I love to make my own, but yours are going to be incredible!!
Thank you for offering free downloads for Christmas cards. I love that idea and it will take off a ton of stress.
Thank you, can't wait to hear more about Project Life.
Can't wait. Who is the cute family in the teal card? And the photographer--wonderful:)
Oh my goodnes! Wow! is right! You are amazing. That is all I can say. Thank you for your generosity and for sharing your creativity with all of us. Can't wait for Project Life. I know it will be perfect. Blessings to you and your family and team for your hard work.
You are the WOMAN!!! Can't wait for the new stuff to be revealed. Love your stuff.
SO much fun!!! you ROCK! thanks Becky ;-)
OMG! Becky thank you for the free card designs. I've always wanted to do a digital. I will definitely make good use of them. Can't wait for more info.
Seriously? Your gonna just give us 5 card designs? Your the Bomb, you know that? :o) I'm gonna start calling you Becky the Bomb. Your so awesome. Thanks. :)
Looking forward to it! I am SO glad that I got TWO school years kits way back when because now I found out that baby #2 is on the way!! Love your products!
I can barely contain my excitement. Thank you so much for offering it in both traditional and digital. And thanks for the card designs :)
thanks so much Becky and everyone else who is involved - a digital version is going to be fantastic. No worries about shipping AND everyone can get one! Yay! This is the best :)
That sounds great!! Will it (project life) be available for international customer as well?
I'm really looking forward to project life! Thanks for all the inspiration, i enjoy reading your blog!
Thank you so much! I can't wait to get Project Life and the holiday cards are beautiful. Just perfect!
You are amazing!!! Thank you so much for all you do, Lauren
That is an amazing thing to do Becky! I was just telling my husband that if I could make our cards myself if I had some help...this is just the help I need!
Can't wait, can't wait, can't wait!!! The cards look amazing!! I'm still going with the Project 365 and LOVE every minute of it!
Thank you!!
Wow! That is great that you've designed holiday cards for us!! And I can't wait for Project Life to launch - I'm so excited about it!!
I am having a rough day and now I am soooo excited. Cant wait!
Thanks you!
Wow, thanks for sharing! Also, I'm so excited for Project life. I really need to get back into scrapbooking and this might be the ticket!
Wow! How generous of you. Can't wait to see the card designs and the Project Life. Thanks Becky.
Becky I am a lurker on your blog but please if you get the chance visit this link and help me to get this story out about the 5 year old with cancer. Thank you!
http://wernstrumfamily.blogspot.com/2009/11/let-spirit-of-christmas-begin.html
as always...you rock!! Can't wait to see Project life and the Christmas cards are AMAZING!!
Becky,
You take such wonderful pictures! Any suggestions on cameras? I am wanting a new one for Christmas so would appreciate any advice on the subject.
I am so excited for the digital Project Life! I am loving your all encompassing approach to scrapbooking...making it accessible to any and all! Thank you!
Thanks so much for the Christmas downloads! Way cool!
Also looking for recommendations on your "take everywhere" point and shoot camera. I have a Nikon DSLR and I love it but am looking to replace the small one that I throw into my purse. Can you tell me what you use? or which one is on your wish list?
Thanks! Teresa
Becky,
Is there a way that we can get your Becky Font again? Our computer lost everything and I no longer have it. When I scrolled back in your blog to find it, CK has taken the link down :(
Would LOVE to get this back!!
Wow Becky! I am so excited and can't wait to get my hands on Project Life! Thank You so much for the Freebie Holiday Cards...you don't know how much of a HUGE help this will be. Having 4 children, two of them being 22 months & 10 months...it is so hard trying to find some Mommy time to create!
Thanks a bunch!!
I'm on pins and needles waiting!!!!! So excited and have gotten some of my friends wanting to do Project Life this time around.
Someone already asked it but I think it should be asked again so hopefully you will address it at launch.....Will Project Life be a 1 time deal or are you planning to do a version each year? Just so we know how to order KWIM! :)
Thanks so much for all you do and your inspiration. LOVE IT!
i am so excited. loved doing 365 and cant wait for project life.
also that is so awesome...christmas cards. yippee thank you thank you. one less stress gone from the holiday. always love your holiday cards
thank you so much for sharing with us.
Oh, I cannot wait! I am so excited to get Project Life! Thanks, too, for the Christmas cards. You rock!
Hello, I know there are alot of details you're working on for Project Life. Could you please try to offer a shipping option for Alaska (and probably Hawaii) that is reasonable? I know UPS and FedEx offer cheap insured trackable groud shipping in the lower 48, but they only offer second day air to AK and that's really expensive. I paid about 65 dollars shipping for 4 School kits - which I love, thank you - but the shipping takes all the good deal out of them. Please think about offering a USPS priority option for those of us living where ground shipping is unavailiable. I appreciate your time reading this and hopefully there is a solution out there can work for both of us. Looking forward to seeing Project life :)
So looking forward to hear more about your project. and am super happy about the free xmas card download! thanks so much!
Thanks Becky! You are awesome.
Jen
Just wanted to say Thanks. I'm hoping to get the Project Life for my mom for xmas. She's been wanting to start a journal for the grandkids and has not had any time to scrapbook. We've had a rough two years with courts and my niece and this would really mean a lot to have something that makes journaling easier for her. I'm crossing my fingers it gets posted tonight. Tomorrow we have skating for youngest and two hockey games during the day with my oldest. I'm so afraid I'm going to miss out. I'm not sure if I'll be able to do it thru my blackberry :( Thanks so much for your creativity!
I just placed an order for 3 Project Life orders!! One for me and two as gifts. I'm so excited!! Thank you!
Yay!!! I just ordered mine...cannot wait to get it :-) I feel like a little girl on Christmas morning!
Getting ready to order mine....but I do have a question that many others have asked. Do you hope to design a new project life kit each year for those who want to use if for project 365? I'll order more than one if this is a one time deal.
You're awesome!
Oh, and when you get a chance will you post a new favorite recipe :)
thanks
Hoping we will get to see more of Project Life! I see it is up for order ;)
Just ordered 2! Have been successful with 365 - can't wait to get started on Project Life. So simple to order this go around - thanks, Becky! Your creativity amazes me.
I'm so excited! I just ordered one for me and one for my mom. We both have loved Project 365 and are excited to be able to continue with it just as easily! Thanks!!!
Wow, it looks so good but unfortunately I may need to wait for the digital version I can really afford to pay $170 shipping.
looks amazing.
I am trying to order project life. I live in Canada and am having some problems with the checkout. Can you please help? Do you send out an email to confirm your order like most other e-commerce? Is project life available to order in Canada? I missed out on Project 365 and I would really like to order this product.
Thanks,
Angie
Thank you so much Becky for offering this ... I just ordered mine and I am sooo excited to receive it!!!
For Angie above me ... I am from Canada as well and had to click on International orders and was able to order it no problem ... hope this helps!
Thanks Sue
Thanks Sue!
I just figured that out myself! I ordered thru 'International Orders' and it went thru no problem. I got a receipt from paypal saying the payment has been sent to David Higgins, but I didn't get a receipt from the Becky Higgins site itself saying the 2 kits have been confirmed.That makes me a little nervous...but I will have faith that Becky & David have this all worked out! Right?
The new kit looks GREAT! I'm going to ask for it for Christmas :)
I love you Becky Higgins! These cards rock!!!!!!!!!!
becky love it and just ordered it but why in the heck is shipping almost $17.00?????? Is this correct?
thanks Lisa
Hi Becky, the kit looks great. I want to order it, but I only see where you can place international orders. Have you already sold out? I hope not, I didn't get a chance to get project 365 and am dying to get my hands on this one.
Thanks
Janessa
I got an email from Becky Higgins LLC confirming my order for 2 kits. Yaaaay!! Thank you so much!!
I am SUPER excited!!
Awesome work Becky!!!
Thanks so much Becky! I ordered one for me along with my order for my mom. I'm hoping it'll make it for xmas even though estimate shipping is up to 8 weeks! As a backup I'm making a write-up on what she'll be receiving so she can at least open that up if it doesn't arrive. I hope I'm able to watch her open up the package though. Thank you again!!!
I was so excited to find out that you can place international orders, but $150 to ship to me in Australia? So disappointed.
I'm not a digital scrapbooker so I'm not interested in the digital version.
Love the kit Becky...tried to order four kits but didn't go through with purchase as the postage was A$244.00. I don't mind paying a bit for postage but this was a bit too excessive. So disappointing as I was really looking forward to it. So I guess the digital format will be better for those in Australia. Hope it comes out soon.
Regards
Sandra
Thank you!! You are awesome!!!
and thank you so much for the cards, they look great!! I was wondering though... where would I get the envelopes if I print them trought shutterfly, kodak gallery oo snapfish? Do I need to buy the envelopes somewhere else? Do I print this as greeting cards or as photos? Does any one know? Please let me know at anespindler@hotmail.com!!!
THANK YOU!!!!
Just thought you should have an even 100 comments. :) I love the look of Project Life--I'm thinking of doing one book per child, just filling it with all kinds of random photos and journaling cute things they say, etc. You could add a full-page yearly summary even, and then they'd just have a book of their life. Literally, Project Life!
I see that the PL part of your blog is up and running. :) I was really excited watching the videos and seeing all that is in the kit! I ALMOST bought it until I got almost through ordering and saw that they want to charge up to $46 for shipping. Even the cheapest is $16 for me, and that's just a little too high. I'll have to think on it. :( Maybe I'll wait to see what the digi version is.
Becky, thank you, thank you! LOVE Project Life! Ordering was a piece of cake. Love all the pictures and videos. Thank you again, you are so amazing and inspiring.
I just ordered my Project Life kit. Thank You for doing this I might also buy the Digital Version once you release it.
You had me at "hello"!!!! Being a digi fan for many many years I'm going to try BOTH -- This has me back to traditional! THANK YOU, it's absolutely GORGEOUS!
Anyone from the US coming to South Australia and willing to bring one with them, because seriously $146 postage is too much??! I am SO disappointed. While I know a digital option will be available, it's just not the same and kinda defeats the purpose of the kit - the need to print, cut, find dividers etc. So disappointed. :(
I was so excited and really looking forward to getting one of these...... but just can't justify the postage cost to Australia :(
So disappointed now.
(But looks great anyway!)
placed my order!
looks terrific
love the design and colors
Great job!
Beautiful work, Becky! Congrats on launching Project Life and thank you for the card downloads! Loved watching the videos. Your friends are so cute gushing about your project, too! Life wouldn't be the same without girlfriends!
I REALLY want to buy a kit but the shopping cart is down. Hoping it gets fixed soon. xo
Can't place an order...system not working right now... :(
I would love to place an order!! When will the shopping cart come back up?
Thanks so much for doing this!! :D
You are so generous! Thank you!!
Couple of questions
Ship date?
Any photos of completed pages or closeups of contents, I cant zoom in on site
cant see kit in video
Thanks
Hi there! So excited about the kit as a new-to-scrapbooking person! I have to say a few things first: I am way proud of you--from one BHS alumni to another! Secondly, this kit is totally going to help me because I am one of those people who feels overwhelmed by scrapbooking (my baby's book is no where near being done and she is 13 months old!).
Last thing: I downloaded the way cool cards, and I downloaded the "test drive" on the photoshop website, but I can't figure out how to resize the photo. I am probably overlooking an easy step. Thank-you and best wishes in this way cool, new endeavor!!
You are so COOL to give us something for free! beleive me, my family needs free this Christmas. Thanks for being so awesome!!!
