For The Love Of Books | 2017 Reading ... Project Life® 2018 | Week One

Project Life® 2018 | Title Page + 2017 Review

Bring on 2018
Project Life®!

Am I totally done with 2017?
Nope. Is that stopping me from starting 2018? Nope.

I love this project as a part of my overall memory keeping adventures. I continue to enjoy the 12x12 weekly approach so I'm going to stick with that until it doesn't work for me any more. I love that it is a holding place for all kinds of stories and I absolutely love looking back through these albums and seeing the passage of time in the spreads.

Each year with this project I have been getting more and more loose. I try to take my own advice whenever possible to just fill the pockets.

In 2017 I've completed weeks through the middle of September and am planning to just keep working on getting those done as I can.

For my title page this year I'm using some of the wedding photos that
Tara Whitney took of us and a selfie I took of all of us when we were on vacation.

For 2018 I'm planning on using products from my
Story Kits™, Stories By The Month™, and general releases in my shop.

Supplies used on my title page include:

Design A Page Protectors (I use this same style throughout the album) Stories By The Month™ (currently on a waiting list) A 3x4 transparency that's an Add On from the For The Love Story Kit™ "We Are Family" card from the Family Journal Cards in my shop Gold Foil Quote Card (sold in January 2017 - we have a new set of these in black with new quotes available here ) White number stickers were from the December Daily® 2017 Main Kit

I'm planning to continue using the
12x12 black and white stripe album from Becky/Heidi as in the last few years.

If you'd like to take a look back at my 2017 albums I've got a video of the first half of my album (January through June) here.

Here's a video overview of the second half of my 2017 album (where I'm at with it) and a look at my 2018 title page:

Here's a quick look back at my previous title pages going back to 2011 (for a much more detailed look into my past Project Life® albums up until 2016 check out my
Storytelling With Project Life® workshop):

2015 | This was the year I said I was going to
switch things up and started with the above intro pages. Within a few weeks I was back to doing it the same as I had in the past and adjusted my title page to include a combination of things that had originally been on the smaller intro pages.
