project Life

I must confess I am a bit slack on the scrapping at the moment. You see I have a problem...

Hello...my name is Diane ...and I am addicted to...Instagram!!! I need to get my Insta-fix several times  day. I can't get through the day with-out up-loading a photo or checking out my friends :)
Now don't laugh...its true!!! See...

Yesterday my friend and I saved this ducky family...

and I bought a new handbag.

Wednesday we  had hot chocolates at the local cafe while Dani braided hair...

and I picked flowers from my garden...

And Sunday we went for a family jog around the local oval.

All this snapped on my iPhone...so easy and so much fun. Memories recorded. When you upload a photo text can be added to the post. I have also just discovered you can create an online gallery and there are lots of fantastic printing options starting to appear. I love this idea. Have you discovered Instagram yet??

The other thing keeping me from "traditional" scrapping in Project Life. It is quick and simple and I am loving it too. Here are just a few pages from my album.

Sorry they are not super clear. I am terrible at photographing this in page protectors.

I am using the Becky Higgins kit plus lots of other bits and pieces I am finding online as well as some of my stash. I won't list where everything comes from but if you want to know please just eave a comment and I will let you know.

And finally ...the winner of Melissa'a give away is...

Congratulations. Could you please leave your email address in the comment section so I can pass your details onto Melissa.

Cheers

Diane

Project Life

Each year in the scrapping world there seems to be a "latest trend". I think am pretty safe in say this years seems to be Project Life. There are so many scrappers out there joining the PL community and so many ideas floating around blog world. I have to be honest I have spent many hours checking out a heap. There is everything for the super simple to highly embellished variations. I was bait overwhelmed with the ideas and found myself spending more time look at other PL than I did actually doing my own. I have now banned  myself from looking at all but a few favourites :)

I first did Project Life in 2010 and I love what I have as a result. (I missed last year as I wasn't able to get a hold of the kit...the scrapping world can be cruel to us Aussies!)

Here are a few speeds from my 2010 album...

I kept it all very simple and just used the kit.

I included some photos of the kids paintings and tried to include a photo of me at least once a month.

I also got the kids involved in the journalling.

This year I am going ok...a few gaps to sort out but here are my first few pages.

Yep...I have a photo missing I keep forgetting to get printed.

This year I am planning to include some other pages. This will be the family album from now.

Here I have added a page using an Ali template as I have soooo many holiday photos 

and just wanted to include a few more.

Again I sticking close to just the kit. I will add a few extra bits here and there...but not to much.
