I been Slippin' yo

The basis of Project Life is 'Slipping cards into pockets'. I've been trying to embrace this idea with my layouts lately in an attempt to catch up and I love the simplicity of that look! I was more than 3 months behind and I have been in overdrive trying to catch up and I have! I'm officially working week to week. I printed out a ton of photos at one time and caught about half way up. But was a little overwhelmed with the amount I had and really struggled with the layouts. Once I finished those spreads I tried a new technique. I created a little book, like this one, to write quick little notes about my weeks to keep things in order and remember dates, memorabilia, etc. So then I started printing only a week at time and having the layouts planned. It has made my spreads happen in record time and gave me the energy to keep going. So, I've updated the Project Life Page up to about 2 weeks ago, so go check it out. Here are a few detail shots of some cards that I love: I just tucked the Polaroids into the pockets so they move around a little. I saved a receipt from a grocery trip and tucked it into a pocket so I can remember one day many years from now how we ate 2 weeks worth of groceries for $110. ***Fortune cookie magic. I am always so inspired by Finding Nana's PL and how she grounds her little photos and how she uses so many different small photos. My goal was to use 3 different elements on this one card like she does. I love how it turned out and it helps use stash so much more quickly! I love the simplicity of this one. And jeez I love the postcard from our sweet friends in NYC! If you have a PL leave your link, I would love to look around! This post is a part of the National Blog Posting Month Challenge.
