Project Life : Week 6

I had actually printed out the photos for week 6 quite some time ago and even took out the PP to match them but somehow I just didn't seem to get down to completing it! I just seemed to keep procrastinating and then my mum arrived and (of course) more procrastinating I had to keep her company and hence delayed completing my PL... haha

Week 6 : Right page

I am glad that I did manage to complete it and still keep my mum company :) Am attempting to complete Week 8 now. So far, so good :) It was a good thing I did jot down my daily activities in a little moleskine the last couple of weeks. I should continue doing that so that I can remember what took place should I fall behind again.

Project Life Week 5

I procrastinated in finishing my Week 5 eventhough I have decided on the layout and the cards to go into each divider... haha.... I don't know why. Maybe I was feeling a little tired from the 3rd trimester, maybe I was just not too inspired... but oh well, the good thing is, I've completed it! yeay!!!

This week's pages are a little plain and simple cos I wasn't really in the mood to scrap. I've seen some crafters who makes really beautiful packed PL and I sometimes wonder how they do it... haha... layered, stitched, with flairs/brads, etc...

Let's see what Week 6 brings... but whatever the case is, I think we must always remember why we are doing Project Life. To document our life. Embellishments are great but it's the memories that's greater :) So, to others who feels 'pressured' looking at really beautiful pages by other 'Project lifers', just chill and document your life the way you want it... :D

Week 3

 I find Project Life quite a fun way to document our daily/weekly activities.... it's 'easier' than the conventional scrapbooking cos it doesn't require as much embellishments. So far, I am able to keep up with it but I will always do it 'one week late' cos I print out my photos at the end of the week. I also don't put too much pressure on how many pages each week takes. If more things happen that week, it may take up more pages and if not, less. I find that less stressful than trying to make everything 'perfect'.

Of course I will continue to scrapbook... but definitely less :P Perhaps for the bigger or more memorable events... but PL definitely makes it much easier to preserve daily memories :) PL and the iPhone.. haha.... taking pictures has never been easier :)

Project Life 2013 ... Week 1 & 2

So, I decided to join the many wonderful ladies out there on the Project Life train this year. I ordered 3 different types of page protectors so that I can jazz things up if and when I want to :) 

 Will be using the 6x12 page protectors for dividing up the months.... I realized I can't put embellishments that are too bulky. Unlike scrapbook pages, these page protectors doesn't seem to be able to 'withstand' the bulk... haha...

I am using my existing patterned paper stash from my Studio Calico monthly kits and some of my 6x6 paper pads...

I kinda like softer colors and will continue to hunt for pastel colored patterned papers from now on :) Loving banners and washi tapes too.

Spending time in Vegas with Penny (mostly..) as hubby needs to go to work.

I love how hubby is so energetic and tries to bring me around on Friday night before we leave Vegas on Saturday. And on Sunday, he drove me to Anaheim to meet Amy. I really appreciate him for that as I know he was still tired from the drive on Saturday (and he still has work to do...). It's so wonderful to meet Amy after knowing her for years online. She is so sweet and she even got our baby some gifts! What a blessing! I am super grateful :D
