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.

Story Idea: The left page is from a single lunch date at Maggiano’s.
Story Idea: The right page is a variety of plushy characters I thought were cute. I snap a picture of these instead of buying them…
Simplicity Point: On the right page, instead of using journaling cards, I layered a couple of embellishments over coordinating digital paper.
Capture Idea: Ordinary life. I usually cook a batch of hard-boiled eggs on the weekend so that I have a quick breakfast during the week.
Capture Idea: I got a shot of my planner and to do list plus an assortment of writing supplies in rainbow order.
Simplicity Point: One screenshot from my phone was easily layered over digital paper to fit the slot.
Capture Idea: I received a single carnation at work and I held it up to my office whiteboard for a clean backdrop.
Simplicity Point: The “Enjoy Today” And “Hello” are parts of journaling cards that I layered over coordinating digital paper for a bold filler card look.
