It feels as though all our products are in some giant room, filled to the brim with new items, re-stocked items … everything we’ve been itching to finally have available. Today I feel like I’m cracking open the door just enough for some light to come through. But we can’t quite get in yet. We. are. so. close. But it’s not up to me when we’ll be able to push that door wide open and let everyone run in (no pushing, please).
We are now at the mercy of our local packout facility. They’re the final step of production on our Core Kits – and other paper-based products – before delivery to Amazon and our international distributors. They are working hard + fast, while maintaining very precise quality control. And of course we’re at the mercy of Amazon. It is they who tell us when they squeeze us into their schedule of accepting deliveries.
So while we all sit outside the door, waiting for it to fly open … let me just show you a few more pictures of what’s showing up next – whether it happens sometime this week (crossing our fingers + toes for that) or shortly after.
As a refresher … here’s a short video of the new plastics:
And some stills …
…..
As for the Project Life Core Kits coming back in stock … they are new + improved. Same designs. Same system. Same memory-keeping awesomeness. Even the same impressively low price. But we have improved the printed quality, added a serious upgrade on the packaging, and the cards now offer far more versatility. The 4×6 title cards are now double-sided with one side being the horizontal option (same as before) + the other side being the vertical option (hello, options!). Every 3×4 journaling card is now backed with a filler design so that no card is wasted. The actual card sizes have even been fine-tuned where needed.
Most of you are very familiar with Project Life, and you’re using it for your main memory-keeping system. Even if you haven’t been on-board yet, many others of you have been keeping your eye on a specific edition – waiting for it to become available. But for those of you who are brand-new to all of this, be sure to check out our Products section to see everything, and each of the editions.
And … here is a little sampling of what each edition “feels” like with just a handful of the 600+ cards that come in each Core Kit.
Want to see specifics of MORE cards from a specific edition? They’re all in digital format on JessicaSprague.com.
…..
Are you thinking it’d be a good idea to stalk Amazon this week?
Please spend your time on much more worthy hobbies. I am very good with updates, behind-the-scenes happenings, etc. so if you are following me on either facebook, twitter, or instagram – I promise you will be completely in-the-know and as products start showing up, you’ll be the first to hear.
…..
{ one more note on what’s coming }
Regarding the Grid Cards, White Cards, and all those little boxes of Bazzill cardstock (ALL mentioned items are going to be available in both 3×4 and 4×6 size and they ALL have rounded corners like all Project Life cards) … these may be a couple weeks behind the Core Kits. As always, I’ll keep you posted.

Thank you for the photos of the plastics side by side! That is so helpful!!
Thanks for the updates! so glad for you guys that it is all going so well. You are one talented lady! (and family of course!) Just wondering, for those of us with the digital kits from Jessica Sprague already, if the “new” vertical title cards will be available as an add-on or would we have to buy the kit again to get the new designs?
thanks!
I would like to know the same thing about the digital version of the vertical cards! Thank you!
Are the Amber albums coming in too??? please say yes
Becky, PLEASE, PLEASE… I am from Argentina and my husband is from Mexico. We live in Utah, and because of my husband’s job we are moving to Mexico for three years. Guess what I’ll bring with me? My Silhouette Cameo and all my PL stuff ( of course ! ) I say please because I need those grid cards, is the only thing i am missing right now… I hope I can buy them before we move, same with plastics !!! PL is wonderful. You are a genius. Thanks so much for the updates !!!
Can’t wait to get my hands on those envelope pages…I’m not a PL scrapper but those envelope pages are a must have for adding this to my digital albums
Whoo hoo! How exciting! I love that the corners are rounded. You had such a brilliant idea when you created your line!
Can’t wait! I’m going to be traveling across the country but as soon as they hit Amazon, I’m buying them all!!!
DYING for the new plastics…let’s hope they get in before I leave for vacation!!
*FAN GIRL MOMENT* I am so excited – I already have my list waiting and ready to go as to what I am going to be buying! I bought the Cobalt binder with some basic photo pages for my BFF who is having her first child this December – I’m so excited to add these to her collection (as well as my own)… such a great gift for friends and so much for to share together! She just graduated college and I am graduating college in December so there will be LOTS to add to our binders
Thanks for giving us something to bring us even closer together!
I have been stalking Amazon for 3 days now – can’t wait for it to pay off. Can’t wait to get the Cherry Addition. So glad you brought that back!!!!!! Can’t wait to see the new designs for fall and can’t wait to see what you put together for us for the kids. I have 2 and need to get started on their memories. Looking forward to seeing that!!!! Thanks for taking the chance and so glad that it’s worked out for you. I am so jealous and hope one day to follow my dream and start my own company also. Still have to figure out what idea we want to pursue!!!!!!
I’m stalking too!! I have already cleared my dining room table.
The new plastics are FABULOUS!! For all those in Australia who have complained that we don’t have an Australian supplier, think about it – everyone is America is still waiting to order from Amazon and some are worried about products selling out quickly like last time.
Meanwhile, here in Australia, I preordered everything from Craft House NZ way back in April, and received them last week – and once again, didn’t pay any shipping fees at all. In fact I have ordered so much PL stuff over the last few years from them, and I have never paid shipping at all. David & Mary are wonderful and are just as helpful as Becky is at keeping us up to date with shipping & production details etc. Thank you both – and thank you & your team as well Becky, the new plastics really are fantastic!!
I’m really excited about getting my new plastics too – they are on their way, will hopefully be here this week.
You are paying shipping DaniW – it is included in the extra cost of every item. eg Cardstock from Amazon – $7.99, from Crafthouse – $19.50. Binder from Amazon $19.99, from Crafthouse $57.00.
So don’t think you aren’t paying shipping – you are paying a LOT of shipping on EACH item. So if you are buying multiple items it is actually a large percentage of the total cost. Even taking into account the exchange rates.
The service from Crafthouse is great and I have had no issues.
I agree – Craft House NZ’s service is amazing. And their pricing so reasonable.

My plastics arrived from Crafthouse last week and I have already started using them. Thanks Becky for designing such a user friendly system.
it doesn’t look like the digi core kits on Jessica Sprague are updated yet… I don’t wat to purchase them until they are updated… please let us know when that is. Thanks! Can’t wait for the new plastics!!!
Becky,
I am a small brick and mortar store that sells office supplies and scrapbooking supplies. I am an avid PL scrapper. I have gotten a number of women and some motels in my area to do PL as well. Question is can I buy your products wholesale – it is discouraging to have to send everyone to Amazon (since I already get people who say I can get THAT cheaper on Amazon) to buy your products and not very profitable, for me. I do love helping people with their PL, giving advice, etc but would like it to help my store grow.

Dede, Becky Higgins is the creator of Project Life, a brand, a product. Why should Becky not give updates or talk about this on HER site. This is one way of her promoting her product. You are being rude, and who are you to say this is not a proper job. If you do not like the content of this site then do not visit it. Becky also has a great sense of style and it shows personally and the way she decorates her home. She gives us inspiration, direction, recipes (Becky it’s been a while) and quality products.
Again, I cannot emphasize enough that if you are not happy with anything online, this site or any other, you are not obligated to visit such site. That is the beauty of the internet. I am sad that you expressed yourself this way and suggest that you find something else that makes you happy.
Sincerely,
Anan
Anan, I appreciate your response – thank you. I never delete comments, as everyone has the right to express themselves and share their delights AND their concerns. But Dede’s off-the-wall comment was so rude, so off-the-mark, and really offensive to anyone. There is no reason that I would allow the foul language to remain here, where people come to be uplifted, inspired, and informed.
Becky,
I am so honor to know who you are and your concept of the PL is inspiraing this is my first time efvery doing Project Life I don’t have the core kit yet and went on and started some of it and I have to say I’m really having fun I can’t wait to get my Kit and the jourling cards I have seen some beautilful, cheerful, and inspiring PL, Thank you so much for your wonderful thought process of doing this

I’ve received the new style page protectors too last week and I love them. Thanks Becky. You work hard and you definitely don’t need rude unkind people here. You do all this for everyone. It’s hard work, it’s takes time away from family and you probably don’t even come close to getting enough sleep. It for sanity sake would be easier to just pull the pin but you don’t. You work even harder to make a memory keeping system that is so versatile, adaptable and refreshing. It can be as easy as we want it to be. From a post today I read in our own little group here in Australia I was reminded that even doing Project Life in its most simplest form without the bling and pazazz that we are creating the most wonderful memories for our family. That’s all that matters. So you made me excited to do that because of a product that you put your blood, sweat and tears in. Thank again Becky for all your late nights and stresses. The nay sayers can stay that way because for every one of them there is thousands that aren’t. Hugs.
EEEEEE!!!!! I have my pennies saved for this great great day!!! hehehe!!!
Becky, can you tell me if your colorful plastic dividers (new and improved!!!) are coming in soon!?
Blessings,
Jen

Sweet happy days – I had a delivery of FINE plastics today. Love them. Happy days.
Thanks for such an awesome system Becky!
Keep up the good work.
YAAAY! just received my new plastics!!! So excited

Really good idea to make the journaling cards printed on both sides! I’m using s mixture of Amber, Clementine printed from the digi kit, and stuff I make myself, and having double sided journaling cards makes it a bit more efficient (if that’s possible,heh).
Would there be a 3×4 rectangle die that would match the journaling cards shape??? I’ve been searching everywhere for one that would make cutting pictures much easier. Any ideas on what the DT or other people do?
I sooooo hope these products will be available in the UK soon. I simply CANNOT wait any longer. Since stumbling across PL on Mish Mash blog I have kinda become obsessed and I am currently gearing up for the moment I can get my hands on this. Stocking up on all-sort – Oh I so wanna start NOW.
Thank you Becky for giving me a product which will allow me to combine lots of piccies with my love of stamping, coloring and tons of delish papers.
HUGE HUGGLES, Mette
PS: Sorry for being a little over-excited
I feel like I am a kid again sitting at the top of the stairs on Christmas morning waiting for Mom and Dad to say I can come downstairs to open presents! I love the sneak peaks you did of each edition because I thought I had made up my mind which one I wanted and now I believe I am switching gears. Thank you for your updates Becky!
Do you have plastics for wallet size photos?
Thanks
Jenetta
Oh how I wish that you would do some 8.5×11 page protectors for those of us who can’t bear to move into 12x12s after twenty years of doing it the smaller way…
I am so excited to get started. I have been purchasing supplies so that I will be ready to start when January rolls around. I purchase the cobalt edition, but am really liking the cherry edition. I may have to change and get the cherry kit. I would really like to see a brown-earthtone kit, that would be so pretty. I will definitely be purchasing some of the new plastics!!
Hi Becky,
I love your concept of PL, but the 12×12 album project is too overwhelming for me since I don’t have children. As a result, I am not doing PL. I tried it last year, but I gave up about May 2011.
Please, please, please, can you come up with a smaller format for PL? An 8.5×11″ album would be ideal for me.
I simply can’t keep up with the 12×12 PL format since I don’t have kiddos. A smaller album would be great for those of us who want to document our lives but don’t have children to fill up our albums.
Many thanks! God bless!
Damiane,
Have you thought of doing a digital version of PL? It’s available in a bunch of sizes and has all the same patterns and colors and comes printed and bound in a beautiful book that is a manageable size.
Good luck!

Becky,
These new products are amazing! You truly do wonderful work!
I was wondering, will the new templates be available digitally soon? I would love to add them to my stash!
Thanks for sharing your talent!
Micki
How exciting! The GOOD kind of tension! Can’t wait for it to arrive! The new sheet protectors! Wonderful!
Thanks for the update!
I just had a thought while I was looking at all the new page protectors…the smaller ones would make great mini albums! I’ve always like to do mini albums but sometimes want to have page protectors due to kiddos. All you need are some book rings with front & back covers and you have a great mini album! Thanks for all of your great products and ideas!!!
Oh my! I have been waiting forever for these wonderful core editions and now I am off the the Amazon Rain Forest and I just know they are going to come out when I am away with no internet service. Can I say it? Bummer! Seriously, these are so cool, and a great way to scrapbook because you can get so much onto each page. Thank you Becky, you are doing a great job and I know it can’t be easy.

Are there any plans to do 8.5×11 or 12×12 coordinating Bazzill cardstock?
Project Life is one of the BEST things to come along in the scrapbooking/memory-keeping field in years! Thank you for such a user-friendly and motivating system. I love everything about it!
Can’t wait! Looking forward to the Instagram plastics.
