Digital Project Life Layouts: September 2014
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: I took a photo of my husband’s hand while he was putting the lid on a soda cup. Try to incorporate some hands in your shots to give some feeling of movement.
Capture Idea: Tried out a new flavor of ice cream from Trader Joe’s. (I didn’t love it)
Simplicity Point: Fill, fill, fill those spaces with digital scrapbook paper.
Story Idea: This was from my trip to Salt Lake City and these were all photos from my phone.
Capture Idea: I took a screenshot of the book I was reading on the plane. It’ll be really cool to flip through all the books I’ve read over the year.
Capture Idea: I also put together screenshots of Instagram photos of the groups I was a part of during the conference I went to.
Story Idea: Still all phone shots from the Salt Lake City trip.
Capture Idea: The bus broke down on the way to one of the excursion, so I took a funny selfie series and put the two photos side-by-side.
Simplicity Point: I included a bulleted list of my travel highlights.
Capture Idea: My luggage while checking out of the hotel in the bottom right.
Story Idea: A quick weekend trip to Seattle. This whole spread is just from that trip with a brief card listing the highlights.
Capture Idea: The trash can on the left there says “Seattle Center” so I had to snag that. I kind of have a thing for trash cans.
Capture Idea: The signage for the restrooms in Pike Place Market was pretty funny with the dude holding a baby, so I had to capture that too.
Simplicity Point: One of the postcards we bought was a neat illustration of the Space Needle, so into the scanner it went and into the album. (Read more about my postcard collection here)

Listers Gotta List: May 2015
One quick and easy way to document your life is list journaling. This has been around the internet for awhile (examples: 30 Days of Lists, 52 Lists from Moorea Seal, and possibly others!) Cori (aka TheResetGirl) started a challenge called ListersGottaList and she provided prompts for people to journal in list format.
I’m going with an all-digital format for documenting my lists. (Since I’m a digital scrapbooker, of course)
My supplies for list journaling:
- Abstract art backgrounds (my own designs – available here)
- Brush lettered prompt headings (my own lettering, digitized and converted into stamps – scroll all the way down to grab these for yourself)
- Assorted journaling cards from digital Project Life kits
- Elements from digital scrapbooking kits (most often by Scotty Girl Design)
What I’m skipping:
- Numbering the prompts
- Because I skip the prompts I don’t enjoy! I realized that it’s supposed to be fun, not a standardized test. It’s ok to skip the questions! It’s so much less pressure to answer the stuff I want to and skip the ones that are annoying to answer.
What I plan to do with all my layouts:
- Four lists per page.
- Right now, I’m thinking I’ll get them printed as a 12×12 book.
Hope you enjoyed seeing my layouts. To see other awesome lists, check out the #ListersGottaList tag on Instagram.

The Brush Letter Practice Guide
With all the lettering that I share on Instagram, people have asked me how to get started in brush lettering.
So I’ve developed a practice guide to help you structure your process for improving your brush lettering technique.
Get the whole scoop on my information page here.
Better Lettering Course Review
If you’re looking for a course to help you improve your lettering, I highly recommend taking the Better Lettering Course from Caroline Winegeart. Her class goes over all the essentials like terminology and tools. The best part is the video demonstrations of the a variety of fun lettering styles from A to Z.
Caroline emphasizes the importance of practice and has a list of 30 prompts to get your pens and pencils moving. In addition to that, Caroline hosts a monthly giveaway for her students. Every month, Caroline posts a new list of lettering prompts and a chance for you to win a lettering prize pack if you post a picture of your practice on Instagram.
If you’ve been wanting to try out letting for awhile and don’t know where to get started, this course is a great one for beginners. (and really, the monthly prompts and personal encouragement from Caroline is totally worth the price of admission).
I paid for this course with my own money. Not sponsored. Not affiliated.

Digital Project Life Layouts: March 2015

Capture Idea: After reading The Life Changing Magic of Tidying Up, I decided to tackle all of my clothing. I snapped a “before” shot of my clothes piled on my bed. (There was more on the floor)
Capture Idea: I included a picture of brisket that we cooked. It’s not all about eating out!
Capture Idea: Ok, but the right side does have a bit of eating out…
Simplicity Point: On the left, my photos were yellow and blue, so i mimicked those colors in my digital papers.
Capture Idea: On the right, I compiled some pictures of my office at work before and after I moved offices.
Capture Idea: Sometimes, it’s fun to include pictures from a grocery run. Oftentimes, these are pictures that I message to my husband when I’m out and about.
Simplicity Point: On the right, I tried to place the photos in a checkerboard pattern and then fill in with digital papers that were all the same color.
Capture Idea: Lots of fun nail polish pictures this month!
Capture Idea: Books I’m reading. This was Gretchen Rubin’s new book (reviewed here)
Simplicity Point: Restaurants are labeled with a digital sticker and type.
Capture Idea: I met up with the awesome Tara Swiger when she was in California! (obligatory picture, or it didn’t happen)
