PROJECT LIFE 2024 Mega Thread

I am at a three day crop this weekend. Finally finishing up 2023 and going to hopefully get January 2024 done as well.

January is done. It is 9 pages. Birthday months are always bigger. My daughter had a big birthday party so that took 2 pages. You only turn 7 once. I'm so happy to be started.

I'm hoping to do something today, and if I do I'll share it. 🤞🏻

blemon you talked me into it! I just spammed insta with my first 7 weeks of PL. I’ll just post a couple here and if anyone wants to see the rest you can look at my insta.

I need to get my behind up and scrapbooking. My computer is acting up so I restarted it and then just came up and laid on the couch.

Thank you! Those are great. I love how you use the kits.


Thank you! She's pretty much fine. Fingers crossed for me.

Okay, here is January. I took Cathy Zielski's course years ago so it is photo heavy. Now to go back to Dec 2023.

I finished my January PL yesterday...so happy to have it done. I ended up with one divided 12x12 page protector (double sided) and 2 divided 6x8s. I had a weird configuration of photos this month so it was a bit of a mash up of using what I had. Also, in keeping with the spirit of using what I have in my stash, I used some old Simple Stories from 2014 to do the spread. I had it out for another layout, so I decided to just grab what was on my desk. I wasn't in love with it initially, but it has grown on me and most importantly, it is done

I get a photobook printed once I finish a year. I love how slim they are. Last year was 100 pages and the book is 1.7 cm (0.66 in).

I got an email from Blurb saying come back and get 40% off by March 7th. So now I have financial motivation to get Dec 2023 done.

4 pages are done. It will probably take 7 or 8 more pages to finish.

I love this so much. I love that you made a pocket with the xo vellum. I love how you used the card with the floral frame. I was really stumped with that.
And I love that you used the quote card for the date. That is something I want to work on. I just stuck the card in the pocket. If I could be better with how I incorporate the date, I could have another photo.

Thanks for sharing!

blemon oh sorry about Covid! Ugh. I really like how you layered the vellum days of the week card over the patterned paper. There’s so many vellum pieces to use and that is a great easy but effective solution!

Week 9 complete

A question:

What do you do when you have a week/month that is just nothing? I had intended to do a month-in-review pocket page for each month in 2024, but I have literally one entry for all of February. Last month was such a low key month, with anything notable being "bad" things rather than "good". Not something I want to necessarily document, and certainly not a 12x12 double sided pocket page dedicated to it. I'm using an SCT class so the base of the pocket page layouts are done - I just add photos and whatever embellishments/journaling.

My instinct is to do nothing, but I don't like the idea of having nothing for Feb. What would you do? Skip February all together? Try to cobble together something/anything? Another idea?
