JESSICA'S (after8) PROJECT LIFE

Been playing around with how I want to do this and how I can make it work with my schedule. I decided on 8x8 LOs and went through my stash to find papers, stickers, embies and cut-outs that work well in a collage format. I found lots of things and now have lots of page ideas. I started making the LO's. I'll add pics to them later, then embellish them and finish with journaling. I figure I'll take the ones I don't use for PL and make them for DH or children's albums or put them on a 12x12 LO and finish them that way. I also have a D-ring 8x8 album here that I can use and will work great as I can add lots more page protectors to it to make up the 52 weeks. Here's what I've got so far....



Still trying to figure out what I want on my first page. I like this saying: "Enjoy every single moment. The good, the bad, the beautiful, the ugly, the inspiring, the not-so-glamorous moments. And thank God through it all." I think I'll use that on my title page with a 2013 title and pics of each of us.

Wow, you've been busy Jessica! Looks like you've got a great head start!

Beautiful Jessica - love the saying.

Great way to do it. I agree, that's a great quote.

Looks good Jessica!

That looks awesome!

I've been setting mine up too... just need to finish January with photos and then will embellish more. That looks great.

WOW, Jessica. It looks great!

It looks amazing Jessica!!

Thanks ladies! I think I will do as many 2 page LO's as possible since it's just an 8x8 album and I like the look of the two pages that are open looking similar. We'll see what the end result is... I'm stumbling around with this trying to find what will work for me.
