I’m off to check out your friends site, soon as I’m done.
I just love the idea about documenting an entire trip like that. I suppose I’d have to actually do something like that. LOL Everything I do is just my normal everyday life. :)

Have a lovely day!

Turned out really well and I am now excited to add the next Disney stuff right in the same album, with a divider between. Might even toss in the other three Disney trips – - – and a future cruise!

Love the large 12×12 photo, but i think it’s a shame (and time consuming) to cut it up into pieces to fit into a PL page protector. so that gave me the idea to leave mine whole, and on the other side just use the page protector as a template and stick my photos to the page just like it. gives it some continuity. thanks for the encouragement!

People laughed at me on my last trip in Sept as I kept saying “I need this for my PL” hahaha

It would leave a small space for some journaling too

I, too, have a box of pics and memorabilia from a trip to Europe! I started to traditionally scrapbook it 8 years ago, but didn’t get far. project life- of COURSE! thanks so much for sharing this.

I have been thinking of doing something just like this, with different trips, times/events from our past, that as of yet, has not made it into the scrapbooks. I’m going to take this approach…Project Life it, and for the layouts that I wanted to spend extra time on, or do something ultra creative with, then I can, and they can go in other 12×12 books I have. Easy. SO EXCITED now to get started! Got to get to picture printing now:) THANKS BECKY!

I love the end result…what an awesome album to have :)

It usually takes a long time. This is one of the reasons I also bought PL…hoping I can scrap so much quicker and do normal every day fun things of my kids and family life. I hope we have somewhere here in Australia I can get 12 x 12 photo printed….

Good luck!

I do not do any of my own photo printing. I ordered a 12×12 print and then cut it into sections following the page protector slots. The result is great!

So that I’m not constantly having to scan stuff, I just leave a blank spot on my template with a quick note as to what I’m scanning in there, and keep the stuff to scan next to my scanner so I can do a few weeks worth at once.

I went to Europe in 2010 with my partner, best friend and his girlfriend. We took so many photos between us (I think around 25,000 in 9 weeks!) and I well know how it feels to be overwhelmed by it! I brought a turquoise kit almost 2 years ago to make an album for the trip, and still haven’t even opened up the folders of photos!! I might make this a project I start undertaking when I have leave at the end of the month, since I now have this inspiration!

I love the photo mosaic idea! I’m currently trying to work on 2012 and 2013 using digital project life. I’m wondering- does anyone have any ideas on how to incorporate memorabilia into digital scrapbooks? We have done a LOT of traveling this past year (hello, moving to China!) and I’m hanging on to all kinds of memorabilia that will end up in the trash soon if I don’t figure out what to do with all of it!
Becky, thank you, thank you, thank you for creating digital project life! It’s given me a creative outlet that I desperately needed! Bonus- our life in China will be documented!
