I have been doing full sized 12 x 12 pages for my daughter, but I felt like we (the parents) were really missing in most of the pages. I wanted to do more of a “family” book of us all together. So, instead of doing strict weekly pages I am doing one month on two pages that are side by side. If one month gets extra exciting I can always add a 12×6 page in the middle to add extra real estate.

I will still be 12 x 12 scrapping in my daughters books as well. We are Americans living in Germany and she just started German Kindergarten. We snap quick shots of the town, the places we go, things we see, all that time and Project life will allow me to document the little things that would probably stay on my phone forever and one day be lost. Now I have a way to share all that, but I still want to continue her story in her books, I’ll just be scrapping them a little differently.

this might be answered on here somewhere but there is a lot here! and i love everything i’ve read so far! i’m getting ready to start my first baby’s scrapbook. I’ve taken a picture (almost) everyday and really wanted to do a 365 day scrapbook for his first year. Being totally overwhelmed by the idea of a traditional scrapbook, (365 different layouts) I was looking for alternatives, and came across this concept! My question is, how do you incorporate objects other than pictures and journal cards. For example, his sheet of foot prints from the hospital, his hospital bracelet, “stat” sheets from the dr every other month. I want that to all be included but not sure how to do it with this concept.

Thanks!

Hi Becky,
I’m not sure if this question was answered before, but I’d like to know if you have any updates about Design A page protectors when they will be available or if you need to pre-order them to make sure you get them. Looking forward to start the project…just waiting for those page protectors . Thanks a lot!!!!

This is my second year using Project Life and yes my 2011 book is complete. Last year I used the day by day format, but this year it will be weekly. Thank you Becky for all the videos, inspiration and photo ideas. I also love to check out the blogs of all the creative team.

Hi Becky… I wondered if you could help?
I finally got my PL page protectors (I live in Europe) only to discover that they were the wrong size! What I thought was a 3×4 journaling card pocket turned out to be a 4×4 pocket. At the moment I am stuck with what I have… 50 page protectos with 6×8 and 4×4 slots; whole bunch of 3×4 journaling cards and 10-15 12×12 papers…
I was planning to create a hybrid PL this year…
Becky, do you have any ideas how I can use the 4×4 pockets? how to journal? how to change the whole layout concept of a PL album to accommodate 4×4 sized pockets? I am so so so angry and disappointed and frustrated… I so was waiting for the protectors to arrive!:-(

Hi Becky! This is my first year doing a Project Life album and I’m so excited. I’ve got my Clemetine core kit and can’t wait for the Design A pages to come out so that I can use my core kit. BUT I’m not letting that hold me back from working on my album…I’m simply using what I have on hand and getting it done. Better done than perfect…has always been my motto…my kids hated hearing it…lol But seriously I hate to see people think that they have to have the “perfect” supplies or spend a lot of money on supplies to get started. Thanks so much for the inspiration to scrapbook once again…something I haven’t enjoyed since my father passed away over 7 years ago. Fondly, Roberta

Lisa – the page protectors you are looking for are “Design A”. They are unavailable on Amazon because they are out of stock:http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005TYRHIA?ie=UTF8&tag=beckhigg-20&linkCode=xm2&camp=1789&creativeASIN=B005TYRHIA . Becky has posted that they are expected back in mid-Feb.

If you go onto the Products tab on Becky’s blog, it shows all the Project Life products, including those that are sold out and not showing up on Amazon. The sold out items typically have a note of when they will be expected back in stock. Hope that helps!

OK silly I know…I am a project lifer… only have purchased thus far the kit ALL together. Was unsure if I was going to do it this year 2012…YEP think I am. I have chosen my color BUT why am I having such a hard time finding the original pocket pages that go to project life. EVERY one I click on is different. You know I want the two 4×6 at top and bottom …then the 4 smaller (wallet) size kinda sorta …LOL in the middle. I can’t seem to find them…can anybody help??? Thanks ahead of time if you can:)

Thanks for this Becky. Being a PL newbie, every post, video, article that addresses our concerns is very encouraging and inspiring. I’ve discovered PL about May last year and I have been a constant visitor on your blog since then. I got my kit before Christmas and I look forward to documenting the everyday now that I started on my 2012 album. Thank you so much and God bless you and your family!

Love it. I’ve been having so much fun with my first PL. I’ve never scrapped before, and have been intimidated to try. Really, this method fits me perfectly in so many ways. Thank you!

Wow, Becky, this system is wonderful!!!! I stumbled across it today – saw your name somewhere and thought, “It’s THAT Becky from CK!” I’ve been digiscrapping for years now, which I don’t plan to quit, but I’ve never gotten around to scanning all the pre-2005 photos. They’ve been sitting in boxes, unseen for a long time. Not much longer! I’m ordering whatever color and pages are in stock, and we’re going to start looking at our kids’ baby photos again. Thank you so much for this!

I’m using it as my daughters’ childhood albums, and it works great!! I just put the pictures in chronological order (using mainly Design A) and fill in the journaling cards to go along with the pictures. I love it, and I’m quickly getting caught up on my girls’ albums.

{{{{{{Hangs head in shame}}}}}}} Haven’t opened the box yet. And I’ve had it since last summer. That’s right. Last summer.

My husband got me this for Christmas . I put the pictures in the pages but have not written or make it cute yet. I put them in there to keep them safe and out of the way for right now.

We are moving next week and i can not wait to get settled and get on to working on my book.

I have never written or posted here before finally just wanted to say i love this.

I love seeing ideas and pages of what others do also so please keep posting pictures.
Thank you
Terri
