I was having so much fun with Project Life 2011 that I decided to buy a second album (the Amber) and start clearing up my backlog of photos ( 6 years worth!). At last weekend's crop I managed to get through October's pictures for 2010 - pretty good since these weren't even printed yet! I love that my everyday, garden variety photos can go quickly into the pockets but I can still do layouts for my special photos (see top photo) or the photos that inspire me. Later on as I look through the album I can still pull photos out and complete layouts if I'm so inspired. I'm using a whole variety of page protectors mostly from We R Memory Keepers. More about those in a future post.
I like you.
ReplyDeleteWe are using the very same approach to "clearing photos" using this method, and mixing it up with traditional pages. So glad to find someone doing it "like me" so I can think ideas when I look at your pages. I just did 10 years in one week! Mainly overflow photos from my kids books, pre-printed stuff I had nowhere to "house" and digital items of my own that had no book. So, now I have a "happy book", not organized traditionally, but ready for use to make me feel all sweet when I look at it! And...no more piles of photos! Plus, I just ordered both of Higgins books for my next round of de-cluttering/creating happy memories!
