Project Life is my preferred method of scrapbooking and I’m hoping to provide you with some useful tips for either documenting your own lives or putting together your own pages with minimal fuss.
Here’s what I’m going to emphasize with the layouts I share:
- The random stuff I like to capture and document for myself.
- The simple approach to Project Life that I take. There are a lot of photos and very little embellishment and journaling.
- The way I organize some spreads into themes or stories.

Capture Idea: There’s no shame in selfies. How else will you remember what you looked like twenty years from now?
Capture Idea: Any hobbies you are working on. In this case, this was my progress in brush scripting.
Capture Idea: I received a card in the mail with this super cute Pixar stamp that coordinated perfectly with the envelop.
Capture Idea: Manicure shots since I’ve been painting my nails a variety of glittery patterns. Definitely a part of my weekly routine.
Capture Idea: I took a screen shot of the TV Guide app with the listing description of the Winter Olympics. You can take screenshots of your own favorite TV shows.
Simplicity Point: We went to the movies and I just laid the ticket stub on a piece of scrapbook paper to take a picture of it. Now, I don’t need to find a journaling card or anything to digitally enhance the space.
Story Idea: Make one page or spread about one specific outing. The left side here was free admission day to the Nixon Library because of Presidents Day.
Capture Idea: Food. If you ever move away, it’ll be fun to reminisce about your favorite restaurants in the area. Also, it may remind you to go back to a place that you might have forgotten about.
