interested in hearing the story of Project Life?

Thursday, January 26th, 2012

I was recently part of a wonderful discussion on The Digi Show and that episode is now live today. Go HERE to listen.

For those of you who don’t consider yourselves “digi” … wait. This episode actually has a whole lot more than digital chit-chat. In fact, Steph (the host + the mastermind behind The Daily Digi + and huge influence in convincing us to take Project Life to the digital world) … asked me to share how Project Life came about. I actually talked quite a bit about that experience, as well as the story of how I even got into scrapbooking in the first place. It was really fun to be able to tap into my memory and recall so much from the past, and share pieces of my evolution and the process it has been to make a little idea become … a little bigger. At the end of the show I even share my “pick” which is something really fun for the life-documenter in each of us.

Side note: If you missed it, Steph wrote an incredibly insightful and inspiring blog post about how Project Life fits into her crazy-busy life and what her work-flow looks like. You can check that out HERE.

project life update & my favorite things

Happy Weekend!

[ thank you ] so much for all the happy, thankful, warm messages regarding the Doors of Tallinn collection. I’m so pleased that some of you can actually use that. It’s neat to hear that some of you are printing & framing it as a gift also.

[ interview ] Kari over at Ucreate asked to do a little interview with me recently. If you’re interested in a quick read, you can find that article here.

[ a few of my faves ] You can view some of my favorite household products by going here – Becky’s Picks on Amazon.com. Be sure to notice the categories to the right. I finally found the perfect mousepad – in Finland, of all places. It’s marimekko, which I love, and really thin, which I love even more. I’m picky about that. Anyway, they have the marimekko mousepad on amazon, so that’s in my collection of favorites.

You’ll find various things we use & love in our home — cameras, computer, label maker, the best gadget for going paperless in your home office, those cool canisters in our pantry, my favorite scrapbook albums, baby must-haves and yes — oh yes — even spray paint. This is a start and I’ll more things.

[project life update] More kits have been made and we’re just about ready to release those on amazon.com. I will let you know as soon as they’re available — here on my blog and on twitter and facebook. So if you have that friend who thinks “Good for you that you scrapbook, but I don’t have the time or money or creativity” — this is an excellent way to help her do something with her pictures without having to invest the time, money, and creativity that tends to be scrapbooking’s reputation.

Or maybe … you’re that friend and you need Project Life?

Let’s have fun today. Who wants a Project Life kit for FREE? Leave your first name, city, and state (U.S. shipping address only) and I’ll announce a lucky winner on Monday.

PS – Yes, a school kit is still in the works and Yes, I’ll be releasing a newly designed (same kit, new graphics) Project Life kit later this year … in time for Christmas. The one that is about to re-released is the original Project Life kit and this will be the last chance to get this year’s design.

ScrapNFonts has some new fonts that I’ve been enjoying lately. In fact, I chose my five favorites and they bundled them up and put them on sale for just $10 for all five. You can go here for that deal.

You might recognize that I used one of the flowers from DB Floral Infusion as well as the SNF Goody font for Kylie’s birthday invite here.

Also, Brian Tippetts did a short & sweet interview with me and that’s also up on their site. For a quick read, click here.

And … you have to check out what Britta did! Using the digital Project Life and incorporating ScrapNFonts’ fonts & DoodleBats, she is creating an darling, custom Project Life book for her family. Check it out here.

I recently had the chance to chat and chat and chat about all sorts of stuff — starting a business, the theory behind Project Life, the evolution of personal style, how I feel about scrapbooking, etc. This conversation with Amy Coon (The Paper Life) is on her blog. I get pretty passionate in the interview. Sweet Amy hardly got a word in at times. ; )
