Project Life


Today's Project Life covers the week of November 28-December 4th-- and we are in FULL swing of the Christmas season!! 

Are you doing a December Daily/ Journal album?   I am, and I have to admit, I was a little concerned about doing both December Daily and Project Life.  However, I found that Project Life has made the December Daily album much easier to keep up with (and vice versa).   Because of Project Life, my camera is out more, I am looking for the little stories, and I have a place to record those day-to-day details that may be overlooked.

December is jam packed full of traditions, stories, events, programs, and celebrations.   In my December Daily album I focused on a high-light of the day-- some of the photos reappear in Project Life, but many do not.  Project Life allows me to go deeper into the everyday story.
I believe three of these photos also appear in my December Daily, and everything else is new or a story told in more detail.   I really enjoyed using the Elle's Studio Christmas tags-- particularly the Christmas Note Tags!  I used many pattern papers from Echo Park's Holly Jolly Line-- it goes really well with Elle's Studio tags!

Now that we are in the Holiday rush it's hard to think past December 25th, but I want to remind you that the New Year is right around the corner!  NOW is a perfect time to get stocked up on your Project Life Supplies!  (it's also a great Christmas Gift!)   Here are a few of my favorite Elle's Studio items for Project Life (psst.. don't forget to take advantage of our FREE SHIPPING day on December 16th):



Also, I LOVE the photo pockets made by Project Life founder, Becky Higgins.   It's called "Design A" and can be found here.  There are many different cool styles available, make sure to stock up!

I love your Project Life design for this week. Awesome Christmas colors. My favorite Christmas movie of all time is "It's a Wonderful Life." Our family favorite is probably "National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation," the flying squirrel gets me every time.

Great ideas! I love the week's dates with the little round stickers a lot too.

Stephanie Shepherd said...

Tammy B said...

there are so many great classic holiday movies, but i think that my favorite (right now) is The Family Man with Nicholas Cage...it's a new take on It's a Wonderful Life :)

Cynthia B. said...

My favorite holiday movie is While You Were Sleeping, with Sandra Bullock. Sweet romantic comedy, and one I can watch lots of times and still smile.
Fabulous use of the Elle's goodies in this album! If I won, I'd give the products to my sis, whose birthday is this coming Sat. (umm...nope, I haven't bought her anything yet, poor Dec. baby), and she's starting Project Life next year, so I know this would help her! Thanks for the chance.

Lisa Johnson said...

My favorite holiday movie is Mrs. Santa Claus w/ Angela Lansbury. Not many people know about it, but it's a great movie w/ some awesome songs. I watch it every year and am so happy that I get to share that tradition w/ my 4 year old daugther this year b/c she's old enough to enjoy it now. Thanks for such a fun giveaway! :)

lisa westphal said...

LOVE this week's PL Jenni!! I feel like I learn a new tip each time I see your LO's...PS *LOVE* the glasses in that bottom right pic! Very cute!

I think my favorite Christmas movie is....Elf. There is one other...IDK the name (have been trying to figure it out for years). I watched is many Christmases as a child...It was a cartoon with a Mama Bear & her little cubs @ Yellowstone...and there was a Ranger....Ring a bell anyone?? {sigh}
