Project Life: Week 5

Project Life: Wk 5

Catching up on posting Project Life, still! Week 6 is coming soon.

Project Life: Wk 5

The photos on this side are 100% phone photos or low res photos shared by others via the internet. So I printed them all in small sizes and adhered the extra small ones to papers.

And for those who like to read the stories, as that’s always the point for me…

Should have been clearer in my journaling here: When I said we never left the hotel and convention center and ate the same few vegan meals every time, I meant for the entire week, not just for that day. :)

Project Life: Wk 5

I have more photos and ephemera from CHA and plan to scrapbook more on this event as soon as I can purchase the new Heidi Swapp Memory File products.

So how do you choose which photos to share in Project Life?

When I’m choosing photos, I ask myself which ones have a larger story I want to share. If I have other photos from an event then I save the ones that have a larger story for a standard scrapbook layout. If I don’t have enough photos to split among PL and standard layouts, I’ll use the same photo for both.

In the case of CHA, I just chose the photos that gave a sampling of what our time was like. The rest will appear in my Paperclipping CHA file project.

And that’s the end!

    Great PL layout.  Thanks for the closeups of the stories too!  How long do you spend on PL each week?

  • Kimberly Klein

    LOVE how you included a variety of sizes for your photos! Everything came together beautifully!

    I’m a member, and where do I find that video?  What’s the episode #? It’s not in the archive table, right?  You know the none of HD itunes links you put in the archives page work! 

    A suggestion: if you can add the link to the related post in your video archive table, that’d be awesome!  I’m starting your videos from the beginning and i have no idea how to find those blog posts without serious google search and educated guesses.  I realize you may not have time to go back and find all the links, but at least you can start doing it!

     Oh I found it, it’s in episode 187!  I couldn’t guess based on the title lol!

    ^^A supporting evidence why you should consider adding the blog post link to the video, and/or vice versa. :)

    Love your shows as always!
