Video | Mixing it up in Your Project Life® Album with Stephanie Bryan

I have been a long time fan of Project Life®! For the past four years, I've completed a traditional 12x12 album of our families memories. This year, I really wanted to switch things up a little and approach Project Life® from a different perspective.

I used the last few months of 2014 to really focus on what I wanted to include in my albums and finally came up with the perfect solution for me: monthly Project Life® albums. I really wanted to explore various page sizes and album sizes, so changing up my album each month gives me lots of room for creativity and exploration!!

I also really have a desire to "add" more into my albums....more memories, more stories, more photos, more memorabilia, more artwork. Having a little flexibility with these albums has opened up so many new possibilities for my memory keeping and I'm so excited to share those with you today!!

This quick little video gives you an overview of the first two weeks of January. In this video, I'll walk you through my album and give you a little insight into why I selected this system for me and how I hope to see it progress during this year!! I hope you enjoy it and let me know what you think!!

Supply List: Far Far Away Project Life® kit; Far Far Away Scrapbook kit; Magic Carpet; Alyra Stamp Set; Far Far Away Scrapbook kit stamps; Far Far Away Printable by Hello Forever; Far Far Away Cut Files by Hello Forever; 6x8" Page Protector #4; 6x8" Page Protector #3

    I love what you're doing, Stephanie!! Everything looks gorgeous. I love how clean hour work always looks. And it's so funny to me that you just posted this because I recently decided to do something similar this year! Project Life doesn't work for me for some of the reasons you mentioned, but I still want to document our daily life. It's fun to find ways to do so that are fun, fresh, and exciting to you!

    That was the best 12 minutes I've spent in a very long time. I love PL cards but have always felt that the system was too confining for me. I don't like to do the same thing twice. It's a quirk! But this is so liberating - a way to use all of the things I love and want to use with the PL cards I've collected. And the binder is genius!

    I'm really looking forward to your February book!

    I love it, have been debating doing something like this for this year only seasonal as a tend to get a little overwhelmed by the whole 12 x 12 thing and seeing this has just confirmed that it will be a big yes. Can't wait to get started, thanks for the inspiration.

    Love it Stephanie, it's like December Daily rolled right on into January! Will be following your month to month through 2015. I have changed up my Memory Keeping in 2015 - I am always a bit sad when December is over as I really enjoy the creativity and use of so many supplies in my DD album... genius idea and if my shake up of PL doesn't pan out I know have a Plan B :)

    Thanks so much for sharing! I also take too many photos and often MANY of one event! Trying to choose or fit them all in has been a challenge. I also collect memorabillia (drawers full of that stuff), but have trouble working it into my projects. I like how you worked in all those buts without the constraints of a traditional album. The album is beautiful, and eclectic yet cohesive. It offered a lot of solutions to problems I've been having, thanks!
