I plan to do the, project 'my' life again for 2015, with some changes. My idea for this just came to me one day. It was a mixture of things really, seeing people do project life in a smaller format, something I loved but knew I couldn't. Often when I'm getting my photos together, I might have some of my crafts, food, books, night out with friends, myself haha and more. I don't often put them 'all' in, mainly because then I can fit more of the family photos and I feel that I am making it more about myself than the family when I share a lot of things just about me, even known I know I'm the one to document it, you know what I mean, yeah?
So this year I'm not really aiming to go weekly at this stage. I plan to go monthly in this format. I could never go monthly with my 12x12 project life, but I'm going to give this side a crack.
Here are the things I plan to include :
- Me
- Coffee
- My Crafts
- My struggles
- My goals and plans
- Night out with friends
- Happy mail from friends
- My stamps and my business adventures.
- Favourite quotes that might not be 'family' appropriate.
Here are the things I will use :
- My Stamps
- Stamps from Kelly Purkey
- Calenders from Paislee Press
- Stamps from Ashely Goldberg
- Studio Calico Linen Handbook
- Stamps from A Beautiful Mess
- Studio Calico Project Life Kits
- Seafoam and Midnight Core Kits
- Digital cards from Big City Quiet
Here are the things I wont use this time round :
- Currently cards
- Embellishments of any sort
- Oh the lovely things calenders
Yup I'm planning to 'try' and keep this absolutely embellishment free, I know a few Color Cast Designs, might make their way into it. See the thing is, I've noticed looking back on my project life from 2013 to this years album, that I used a lot more embellishments for 2013. This year I've mainly used something say every 2-3 weeks. I noticed that my 2013 albums are bumpy and somethings have indented photos, and by all means the albums are not packed choca block. I started to notice it in my project my life album while flicking through it the other day to get ideas on how I plan to move forward for 2015.
So that is my plan for my project 'my' life. A little idea that hit me one day, and even known I thought I was crazy for attempting it, I'm glad I did.
Will you be joining me in 2015 and doing a mini project life album based on YOU?
