Hello Project Life Lessons!

I'm so excited I finally get to share with you what I've been up to the past few months! I'm so thrilled and honored to be teaching a class all about my favorite method of memory keeping: Project Life! It's at  Big Picture Classes, which is basically where I learned to scrapbook and I love the community and classes there. You can check out my new teacher profile here!

Not only that, but I get to teach with two of my very favorite Project Lifer's: Elise Blaha Cripe and Megan Anderson. They have been wonderful to work with, and it's amazing how well we clicked right from the beginning. Love these two ladies and am so honored to be teaching with them.

The class is three weeks long starting Sept 5th and is packed with not only our processes, but tips for photography, journaling, organizing and assembly. Cool thing: the PreClass is packed! We've each shared a welcome note and message + video + introduction to our process + our workspace + sample layouts. And that's not all! There is a rad manifesto that I've already printed and got on my wall. Worksheets and links to our supplies are all waiting for you so you can get started. 

Here's a quick promo video:

Our overall goal is to help you find your own system that works and to be inspired no matter where you are in your Project Life journey.

Not sure what Project Life is? It's a simplified version of scrapbooking/memory keeping created by the fabulously talented Becky Higgins. You can use the products in any way you like, from theme albums to current life documentation. Click here to find out more. 

You can see my Project Life posts here. (I promise I really do try to keep up--but blogging about it has been tough to keep up with my schedule. Follow me here on Instagram for the latest updates.)

The class is only $30 right now (33% off the regular price of $45 for an introductory time.)

Hello Summer

Last summer I followed along with Ali Edwards and created a Summer Manifesto, or bucket list/fun list; whatever you want to call it. We chose 10 things to focus on making sure we did during the summer, and even though it was a stressful summer schedule-wise, we had a great time enjoying some simple things like peaches and shave ice, and even some big things, like fireworks for the first time.

It was awesome

So when Ali posted her updated title and intentions for creating it again this year, I knew I wanted to do the same approach. I had already been thinking about our list, and in fact, have already completed a few! I debated on doing a mini album, and I still might. But I think the plan will be to just include it in my Project Life using Becky Higgins Design E page protectors (it's a 12x12 page protector with four 6x6 pockets.) I really loved mine from last year and am excited about this years.

You can get Ali's updated title here.

You can check out my 2012 Summer Manifesto/Bucket List here.

Our list this year (so far, we might change one or two):

1. Go to the beach
2. Build a campfire. Eat hot dogs and s'mores
3. Fireworks
4. Go stargazing (or possibly do a picnic + cloud-gazing...might make more sense with a kid.)
5. Go to Schlitterbahn or at least go swimming.
6. Eat at Amy's ice cream
7. Road Trip
8. Summer photoshoot 
9. Eat tomatoes and basil from the farmer's market
10. Go blueberry picking

As with all my planned activities, I definitely try to go with the flow and just be happy to be together and savoring this time. However, having a few things on our list really helps us to live with intention, and I love that.
