What projects do you do?

I do a OLW & WITL album every year as well as a TN of my Thursday 3/selfie project. Those and keeping my kids baby books up to date seems to take up all of my scrappy time these days.

I attempt PL ever year but have only managed to complete one year fully ha! I still take pictures and write things down in the hopes of going back eventually.

ETA: I forgot, the last two years I also did (and finished) a mini gratitude book of sorts. I did a positivity passport in 2020 & Joyful July this year. I used the mini books from everyday explorers and they are a perfect size for me to actually complete and make it no fuss. I think I will do something like this again next year.

I do photo a day a couple of times a year and then do a two page grid layout to squeeze in all the pictures from the month. I like that those layouts show little snippets of life and whatever we're into at that time.

I really enjoyed the 100 day project. I participated for the first time this year and will do it again when the next round starts on February 13th!

I really like the positivity passport. For me it’s freeing to just simply document something in my day with stamps and stickers. I don’t even keep mine 100% positive. I think the small size really feels freeing to me.

Thursday 3 challenge is a weekly Instagram challenge started by @rukristin. Snap a selfie or photo, write 3 right-now about you facts, tag friends. I do not post mine on Instagram but I do it every week in my Day One app. I decided to make the project into a TN and it’s been fun.

Idk if there are prompts for Joyful July. I don’t know the origins of this project I think I saw it on Instagram as well. I just picked one thing everyday which is easy to do in the summer ha. I should try a joyful January…..that would be a challenge and probably helpful in the dead of winter.

I pulled out all my childhood stuff from a bin last winter. I had way more stuff than I realized. I created an 8.5x11 scrapbook for myself. I put a school photo, if I had it, with my report card for the year. It was a fun project. I had academic awards, Girl Scout stuff, school patrol awards, etc., as well as birthday cards, Valentine cards, and Christmas cards my mom saved from the late 1950's.

I am still working on adding my childhood photos, but have taken a break.

52 Favorites / Favourites is fun. You document your favourite thing from the week. People do TN, mini albums, planners and 12x12. I did a trade book from Blurb for 2019. It helped see the good in a year that sucked. You can check out the #52favorites of Instagram.

 I’m curious about STB class.  Do you get the monthly kits/ her supplies and does this kind of replace something like project life?  I was thinking about trying PL this year, but I like the idea of the planner style vs an album.

None. I exclusively create 12x12 albums (including various sized/configurations of page protectors). 

Hope you find a new project(s) for the upcoming year! 

I just do a memory planner (I use a happy planner) in a PL weekly style. I even use a bunch of old PL cards I have for the pages.

I dabble, but don't do any projects consistently, other than my family scrapbooks that come together season by season. Will have to check out some of the projects you ladies are doing.

Started a P365 and a Project 52, even did the journaling for the weekly one, but never finished the album. Have done OLW when Ali did it as a one month project. Have done a couple of Gratitude journals, a few DD's, an All about ME 6x8 book which morphed out of a FAVORITES project I got as a kit. Most of my vacations found their way into separate albums, and I have created albums for other people's vacations if I have the photos and itinerary. Have also done wedding and baby albums.

Not a project, but I am a member of ScrapHappy, and they host three LOAD's (LayOut A Day) a year. Some of them I keep up with the prompts, most I do a few pages for if the prompts fit what I am already doing, but I don't finish many, or at least not on time. Started a P365 and a Project 52, even did the journaling for the weekly one, but never finished the album.

I'm hoping to start the Thursday 3 on IG with 2022. Eventually, (I hope) I might make a physical scrapbook with the contents.

I'm still planning to do project life this year, albeit, I'm thinking of going a bit smaller this year than I did in 2021 because I want to add some new projects into the mix.  

I'm planning a version of OLW.  Mine will be 1%.  I read the book Atomic Habits by James Clear and I'm trying to figure out how to add in some good habits for 2022.  I ordered the OLW mini kit.  I will definitely use that for my 1% album.  

Also, I'm a subscriber since about mid-year 2021 to Ali's story kit.  I haven't even tried scrapbooking with these kits.  I've only done one page really.  I am going to try to focus more on story telling.  I have a special album just for that.  

And then I will add to my travel album with my yearly camping trip in the fall.  Jeremy and I haven't decided where or when we are going yet.  But we had so much fun on our camping trip in September together that we definitely want to do it again.  We have some friends in Tennessee so I'm going to try to talk him into going there.  I used Ali's road trip kit last year and it was perfect.  But the 6x8 album is so wide, my travels didn't even take up half of it.  So I'm thinking I can use the same album again to put our next camping trip in it.  Hopefully she has a good kit next summer for travel too.
