Final Day of Red, White & Blue Week

After the parade has gone by, the BBQ is over and all the fireworks are spent you are left with just your memories and maybe a few photos with your family and friends.  Be sure to get those photos off your phone and into a system that they can be enjoyed by everyone.  Project Life is a wonderful solution to the cure of the unseen photos.

You don't need a lot of products do get the full Project Life experience.  In fact I only used the pocket pages here.  The slots are perfectly sized for your 4x6 photos.  There is a variety of pages for photos that go both ways.  Stampin' Up! also has card collections to go in all of the different sized slots with great sayings and cute designs.  I simply cut some standard cardstock and designer series paper for my slots.  I used a few stamps and punches to decorate some of the areas and cut a large Deco Label to put some journaling.  The only thing left for me to do is print 4 photos, do some quick trimming so they are 4x4 and slide them in the pockets.  Below is a close up of the cute butterfly I made with the Watercolor Wings Stamp Set.

Last Day of School--Project Life

How much simpler has Memory Keeping with Project Life made my life?  Incredibly.  Yesterday was the last day of school.  I am sure you can guess I am one of "those" parents who takes a photo with the teacher each school year.  Normally I might post it online or just load it into my computer.  On some future day I would go through photos and look at all the times past of my children growing up.

NOW, with Project Life I am enjoying those photos sooner and more often.  I printed them out and immediately put them into a Project Life Photo Pocket Page (#135294).  I grabbed a few cards from the (retiring June 2nd) Playground Card Collection (#135300), wrote a few words down with my Journaling Pen (#135304), slid them into the pockets and DONE!  I added a few of the pieces from the Playground Accessory Pack.  With three kids I put a piece of washi tape from the pack to show which cards went with which photos.  I can slip my page into my Leather Album (#135292) and I have the rest of my day to enjoy LIFE and make more MEMORIES!
