As you know I have already been following behind on Project Life.
At least I know I am not alone in this.
At least I know I am not alone in this.
I have been reading Jessica Turner's new book The Fringe Hours.
This book is has really hit home with me.
I am a time waster and this is all about taking your free time
whether is be a little pocket of time or a few fringe hours to do something you love.
We all have those little pockets of time through out the day.
Five minutes here and there that we would normally just grab our
phone and veg out until time for the next task or we are needed.
I decided to take my little pockets of time and use them to do things
that bring me joy and happiness. One of those things being completing
that bring me joy and happiness. One of those things being completing
each day a small task to create my project life layout for the week.
I get overwhelmed sometimes thinking I have to sit down and complete it all at once.
Here are some steps I came up with to slowly complete my layout during the week.
Each step takes about no longer then 15 minutes which is perfect for
little pockets of time in your day or week.
Step 1: Decide on photos
Go through the weeks pics from phone and camera and pick which ones you want to use.
Also keep in mind what pocket layout you are using. To make things easier for me I use the same layout every week design A.
Step 2: Print up pictures
I print up pics from my phone using project life app for 3x4s and print them from my
canon selphy printer. Cut pics if needed. If you don't have a home printer then get pics ordered.
Step 3: Pick your cards
Look through cards and pick enough cards to fill in the layout. I have all my cards sorted by kit and within each kit by color. When looking for cards I can either pick a kit or if want to search by certain
colors that is easy to do too.
Step 4: Journal your week
Write up journal cards using notes from the week, Instagram, Facebook, texts and calendar.
Another way is to take a little pocket of time each day to journal a little or
through out the day if you want to remember a certain conversation, way you felt during a moment, or something your child said.
Step 5: Bring everything together and put in or on layout.
I put all my stuff on top because I know I will be photographing
it after I am done for my blog.

Step 6: Add any special touches such as embellishments, letter stickers, stamps ect.
Also this is a good time to look over writing and check for errors.
Halfway through the layout below I realized I had the wrong dates.
I included a close up pic on how I fixed it.
