![]() The week that I got my iPhone 4 last year happened to be the same week that Jonathan attended his first formal dance. Shut up.Įach week got it's own two-page spread. And because Project Life is so idiot-proof, I have a finished album from 2011 that pretty much captures everything we did last year. The 2.75 x 3.75 filler cards are ideal to make quick notes about the photos or for printing the vertical iPhone photos or for adding receipts and other ephemera.įor years I have taken photos every day either with my big, digital Olympus camera or more recently with my iPhone. The 4 x 6 slots are perfect for the printed photos and the pre-printed title cards. The project design was so easy and flexible and customizable that I managed to capture our entire year in a week-by-week format almost effortlessly. She created a system of page protectors, title and journaling cards in the yummiest colors. Last year I started something called Project Life which is the brainchild of the lovely and talented Becky Higgins. Not for mass-consumption, but just for us. And I don't think those stories are all necessarily best shared on this blog or on Facebook, yet I still wanted to document our lives. Not all, but many, of our photos should be printed and the stories behind them told. Especially considering all the cool home printing technology that exists in 2012. I know we all do it, but frankly, I thought it was a little lame. While I'm a huge fan of all things digital, I found it a little pathetic to have to pull out a computer to share my photos. But I had now moved on to doing everything digitally. Yet it's still an efficient way for me to document my family's life and adventures.Īs my blogging evolved, I realized that I still wanted some of those stories documented the old-fashioned way, in a physical album that can sit on my coffee table. Sometimes those captured stories made it into my physical scrapbooks, but many didn't. When I started blogging five and a half years ago, it was primarily a vehicle for telling my stories and sharing my photos. The ones we later found out are the very worst thing you can do to photographs because of the high acid content but were too conflicted to actually dismantle because how cute is it to still have something created by your teenage self? The magnetic kind with the fading 70's Kodak Instamatic photos with the captions typed out on a real typewriter. ![]() In fact, I still have my original high school photo albums. I have been an avid scrapbooker for years.
