Here's my Project Life Process, part 2. If you missed part 1, you can read it here!
I use my stash to make PL cards (I use 4x6 and 2x4 inches cards for my photo pockets). I make these cards in batches while watching tv in the evenings. In fact, I do a lot of PL on the living room floor, in front of the television set. LOL!
Then I put the cards in place behind the photos on the pages, just to check that different colors and designs looks all right together. I also glue the photos to the cards.
After that, the most fun part is left: decorating these cards! I love to use die cuts, punched out shapes, jewel stickers, alpha stickers and washi tape. And no scrapbooking project of mine would be complete without some foam thickers! :D
The last thing I do is to add the journaling.
So, that's my Project Life process! And the trick to get it done is to do it while you're watching your favorite TV shows. Currently, I'm watching all kinds of Masterchef and Top Chef shows (esp. that Just Desserts!! and ooooooh there are some baking contest shows (yeah, can you tell I'm on a low carb diet??! rofl!).
What's your PL process? I'd love to hear about it!
Great series! I use sticky notes in my albums too! I only update my albums every 3 to 4 months when I get my photos developed. I'd hate to forget that cool thing I wanted to do the 3rd week of July, so I'll make a note on a sticky. I try to set up my pages and do some journaling along the way but the real updating comes when I get the photos printed. :)

Pretty smart using your own papers and cutting them down. Can do the same with basic neutral paer and stamping on them.

You pages are so pretty. I love those papers you used.
My process is I haven't started it yet, lol.
Last year I was 9 months behind and caught up by watching hubby play video games and marathons of the Walking Dead :)

I have never done a project life but have been collecting ideas for when I eventually do one.
Thanks for sharing your great ideas.

I love the whole idea of project life but it scares me! Love looking ideas! Maybe I will give it a try in January.
