I'm guessing the physical version of project life is no more. I might be the only one but I really still want to continue. Any options for cards? But more importantly what about pages and albums? What is everyone using??
Thanks in advance!

Honestly I have enough cards, divided page protectors and albums stockpiled to last me years. There are other companies who also make cards and divided page protectors so you should still be able to find product.

Studio calico/Ali Edwards have page protectors and albums. Amazon has some stuff also. If you are looking for cards elles studio has monthly sets that are super cute. I believe I’ve also seen some page protectors and albums at my Michaels.

I would say physical pocket page scrapping is still alive and well! Especially here and online - there are lots of offerings by different companies.
I use simple stories 6x8 albums. If I wanted 12x12 again I would shop on Amazon.
For cards, embellishments and other supplies I shop at Studio Calico, Ali Edwards, Citrus Twist and Feed Your Craft. Kelly Purkey is another option too.
For digital cards that I print and cut down - I use In A Creative Bubble

You can find albums and page protectors (BH branded) on zulily sometimes too. I know scrapbook.com has their own brand of pl pop as well. I didn't do PL last year and I really missed it. So for this year I stocked up and I'm looking forward to it!

I have enough cards to last me a lifetime! Also, you can design your own or buy from other companies (see lists above). I think every major paper manufacturer offers cut apart sheets (usually multiple) in each collection. I buy my page protectors from WRMK and typically get them at a discount through Tuesday Morning. TM also usually carries old PL kits. Even if divided page protectors disappeared, I could make my own using my fuse, but more than likely I would just attach my cards to a 12x12 sheet of paper in a grid pattern of my choosing. Trust me, PL isn't going to disappear just because Becky got bored with the design that made her.

In fact, I haven't used Becky Higgins' products (aside from some page protectors) in several years because it's been pretty stale.

I have some page protectors stashed, but I really think I'm going to move to more of a hybrid approach & go with an 8.5x11 size. For an album I think I'm going to go with We R Memory Keepers that Amazon has in stock. I buy a ton of stuff from The Lilly Pad and print my own cards. They have a huge variety of artists to buy from.
I want to go simpler this year and I feel like I should move-on with the changing industry. I am sad but BH decided she doesn't want to do it anymore, so I guess it's time to do something else. I wish she would have sold the brand to someone else but clearly she isn't interested in doing that. Facebook had some chatter she may not even be adding new kits to the app in the future but who knows. I'm taking all that as a sign to try something new. I've been doing 12x12 PL since 2013.

I have enough page protectors for another couple of years at the moment. I am on my last album so I'm planning on purchasing a few from Kaisercraft when they have a sale here. For cards and supplies I'll be going hybrid and using digital cards + kits, supplemented with embellishments from my stash.

I definitely still creating physical project life but I haven't used BH branded cards regularly since probably 2013. I do still have some in my stash, but I switched to squared corners years ago so I find them hard to use. My favorite brands for cards are Ali Edwards, Studio Calico, Kelly Purkey, and Feed Your Craft. There are lots of others out there as well. I think Felicity Jane and Citrus Twist also have popular products.
I think BH's reduction/stopping of physical products has less to do with less people creating physical project life anymore and more to do with other companies putting out better competing products.

I've decided that this year instead of using PL cards (from any company), I'm going to use my patterned paper and make my own. I have so many papers and it's time I use them. I can use a few different ones every week and that way I can actually use up my stash. I'm psyched.
I'm also going to use pocket pages from Scrapbook.com and buy WRMK albums. If worse comes to worst and I can't get them here in Canada, I can always use SU's.

She still has them for sale on her website, unless it a mirage. It’s difficult to find but under shop and then scroll through the drop down to ”photo pocket pages” The big packs still seem to be in stock. You could stock up. I have a stash myself. I still prefer her PP’s to WRMK’s. AE’s are nice too but not 12x12. I have more cards than I’ll ever use in my life. www.shopbeckyhiggins.com/collections/photo-pocket-pages-physical

I use the Scrapbook.com page protectors, they have the design a configuration as well as lots of other options and I'm happy with the quality.
For cards I do as many others have already suggested: cut apart sheets from paper collections, pocket card kits from companies like Elle's Studio, Studio Calico, or printing of digital kits.

I bought an American Crafts album and I'm going to cut the cover down to be 9x12".
I don't really need any more PL cards. But I signed up for the Elle's Studio monthly kit this year to force me to be more consistent with my scrapping. Occasionally I will buy digi kits from In A Creative Bubble or The Lily Pad and print out at home.
