Project Life 2012

I have been noticing that a lot of bloggers share their Project Life pages, and I've been trying to decide if I wanted to share mine or if that would just be too boring for all of you.  I decided that since I'm walking on a treadmill my life has taken a turn for the exceptional boring, I have NO walking stories/pictures to share, so I might as well share my Project Life!! You guys are so LUCKY!!
How many of you know what Project Life is??? Well if you know, skip this paragraph!! If you don't, I'll try to give you a quick overview... Project Life{PL from not on} was created by Becky Higgins{who is awesome} and it is basically a simple way to scrapbook your life over an entire year.  You buy all the goodies on Amazon.com. Everything you need to complete an entire year is there for you.  All you have to do is snap a pic every day and write a quick note on a journal card. There are now a bunch of options for page protectors and core kits, but essentially if you get the big package of Page A, its designed for you to slide a horizontal picture in for 7 days of the week and 1 date card, then 7 journal cards and a left over empty spot for the extra journal size card, which is actually pre-printed.  Now a lot of times I use the extra journal card spot for other goodies and such.  The core kit contains all the fun journal cards and date cards and label stickers for days of the week, numbers, arrows.  I am doing a really bad job of explaining this to you... So I'm just gonna post my pictures of my PL.
Here is PROJECT LIFE 2012 WEEK ONE

This is my desk where I do all my Project Life stuff. 

I'm calling it my PL2012 station

Those white boxes, those are the core kits.

  I am using 3 different ones, cuz I couldn't decide which one I liked best, and this way I can mix it up a bit this year, but 1 is all you really need.

This is the First Page of the album, the Title Page, all these cute cards come in the core kit.

THIS is my PL week 1... I pretty much stuck to the basics One picture per day, and journal cards.  {Please remember that my life is kinda boring, so this album may be quite boring also}

And this is the second half of Week 1.  I didn't have much to say really so I filled the other journal cards with our empty gift card from Lone star, and a Picture of the door to Maddy's First Apt. The apt. pics were taken on my iPhone, so the color is kinda off~Maddy's bedroom walls are really a dark purple, not black!! And yes I did write directly on top of that sunrise picture... Sometimes I'm just quirky like that!!And in the top right you can see the date card.  I use a date stamp, but you could do anything you like...

This is just an up close of the Title Page

And Another {sideways} up close Title Page

There are about a million ways to approach PL, and I've seen people do lots of awesome things, but mostly I stick with the original, simple version.  Occasionally, in previous years I added extra pages, when I had too many pictures to be contained on one page, or quirky extra stuff, like event flyers and receipts, to-do lists.  We'll see what this year brings...  You can expect week Two very soon, just gotta pic up the pics from Walgreens and then I'll be all caught up and back on track.  And hopefully post each week on Mondays. We'll see how that goes!!!
