Video | Mixing it up in Your Project Life® Album with Stephanie Bryan
Project Life® continues to be my very favorite way to record my family's everyday moments and memories. I love having a place to store all of our photos and record our stories. Switching up my approach to Project Life® this year and creating monthly albums has been so amazing thus far. This process reminds me that Project Life® and memory keeping really can be anything that you want it to be. It can simple, easy and small. Or oversized and challenging. The most important part, to me, is that I am writing down those memories. Those everyday stories. It's truly priceless.
I decided to approach my February Project Life® album in a smaller format this month. My initial inspiration for this album came from the awesome 2x2 transparent cards in the Cirque Project Life® kit. They are so fun and vibrant and I knew they would be perfect in a 4x4 sized album!
I structured my album in a similar style to my January Project Life® album and added lots of journaling cards, photos, and memorabilia directly into my album. I think these "loose" pieces add so much texture and depth to a book, and I love being able to touch and feel our photos.
I put together another quick walk through video this month showing you how I incorporated the Cirque Project Life® kit, as well as the February add-ons into my album!
There really are so many possibilities with your Project Life® supplies, and I hope you will be inspired to get creative with your album!
Supplies: Cirque Project Life® Kit; Scrapbook Kit; Flying Trapeze; High Wire; Ringmaster; Little Things Stamp Set; Cirque Printable Journaling Cards by Hello Forever; WRMK 2x2 Photo Sleeves; WRMK Gold 4x4 Album
This is incredible!! seriously, it is. Such a gorgeous album, I love all the memorabilia you included and the different size pages. I hope that the mini abum class you are teaching this year would show us something similar. ;)

I love this approach, and find your work so inspiring! It really encourages me to be more creative with my own memorabilia. Plus, this book matches my mental image of a ‘scrapbook’ perfectly. Thank you for sharing this.

I seriously just love your style and all the helpful tips. Where do you typically purchase the plain transparency paper that you use often in your albums? Does this come in 8.5 x 11 and then you trim it down?

I watched your video and I LOVED this! So many great ideas. I love the pink fox vellum. And I love how you used those 2 x 2 transparencies. Mine are sitting on my desk because I didn't know what to do with them! You've totally inspired me! Thanks

This is brilliant! Though I am a big fan of PL and mini albums, I had never thought of using different types of media in my Instagram album but I must start doing this! Thanks so much for this idea!
